Thanks, Arlene! In my imagination, the first one is a commissioned portrait from their wedding, and the last one was done much later, to illustrate the story of their tragic end, which is why it’s a different style. It was fun to see how much I could push the photo-realism in the last panel, although it came out a little more emotionally disturbing than I intended!

500 years after the banishment of wizards, the kingdom of Valheigh faces the unthinkable: the rediscovery of wizardry and the return of the legendary evil known as the Jinn.
Prince Rune is determined to save his people but an old adversary unleashes a terrible curse: Rune must kill the woman he loves or die himself at her hands.
Note: "Rune: A Tale of Wizards and Kings" completed in 2012. A novella titled "Wizards and Kings: Sacrifice" continues the story from the comic.

You can see the last panel at a larger size in one of my Facebook albums.
I really like how this page came out. They seem really in love in the first panel and the last one is so photo real.
