More Violets, Less Violence!

In support of Spirit Day, my Sylvari warrior, Sanileia, offering a flower to my mate's Norn warrior, Annathesa.
May you be yourself, be brave, be strong.
No one should ever have to be afraid to be who they are.
No one should ever have to feel lost and alone because they are different.
And love is love, no matter the form.



(Sorry for the quick and messy coloring. I didn't have much time to spare for this due to school, but I really wanted to show my support for this event, so I made something even tho I didn't really have much time to spend on it.)

A really cool thing about the Sylvari is they lack solid gender roles... so there's not really a defined way that men or women should act in their society and they seem to have no concept of sexual orientation... They clearly just love who they love. And that's beautiful to me. I thank Arena Net for making such a beautiful statement with their fantastic game.

And Gladiator armor is insanely hard to draw. ^^ So I hope you guys enjoy the details. I really worked hard to get them right. I originally started this in pencil on paper, but realized I was not going to have room for Anna, so I inked over my sketch of Sani in Photoshop and drew Anna all digitally. Anyway, enjoy and please remember to reach out today and let your friends and family know you love them no matter what!
