Portrait of 'Tivo and Imperator

[altivo]

A long wait comes to an end, with results that make it well worth while. Several months ago I commissioned a dual portrait of my Tapestries character 'Tivo with his beloved partner and mount, Imperator. The artist is Kaijima, who just finished coloring the final piece. I told him to follow his own instincts in depicting us, and he chose to make us both inflatable toys, a genre he excels at. For the curious, the finished artwork is now viewable here (worksafe):

We are both very pleased with the results and thank Kai for his excellent work.

Latex on me would become a "wet suit" so fast that I'd turn into a water balloon. Probably good for losing weight, but no thanks. I'll stick to plush, at least it breathes a little. :)
