Hannibal and Will, 3x06 - "Dolce"

The way Hannibal sees Will, and how Will sees Hannibal.

Their perception of one another for sure, but there's this fact that they reflect each other. Two standing mirrors, face to face: Will sees his own beast within when looking at Hannibal, and Hannibal sees the light he still owns in his soul. The ability to love so intensely, and the state of being comfortably violent. Two aspects of them people mostly assume nonexistent.

Currently thinking about how Hannibal probably left the book of time equations open so Will could see cuz it was his way of apologizing.

And we see that Will sees it and looks away quickly. Maybe like it was too much for him to handle, Hannibal being sorry. Or he didn’t want to accept it. Or maybe didn’t think Hannibal set it up, and didn’t want to be caught looking.

And maybe that was the final nail in the coffin for him to realize Hannibal cared for him.

"'The end and aim of my love formerly lay in the greeting of this lady to whom you are perhaps referring, and in this greeting dwelt my bliss which was the end of all my desires. But since it pleased her to deny it to me...'"

"'...my lord, Love, through his grace, has placed all my bliss in something that cannot fail me.'"

"Then these ladies began speaking among themselves, and just as the rain can be seen falling mingled with beautiful flakes of snow, so did I seem to hear their words coming forth mingled with sighs."

From Dante's La Vita Nuova, chapter XVIII

Hannibal 3x07 - "Digestivo"

BONE-SAW

commission piece!!

Super happy with the way this turned out!! Commissioner wanted a similar painting style to my person suit wendigo piece and I had a lot of fun with it.

As always, painted using Corel Painter 2023 and on my Huion Kamvas pro 13!

"From out her eyes, wherever they may move

come spirits that are all aflame with Love;

they pierce the eyes of any one who looks

and pass straight through till each one finds the heart;

upon her face you see depicted Love,

there where done dares to hold his gaze too long."

From Dante Alighieri's La Vita Nuova, chapter XIX - 1293

Hannibal 2x08 - "Su-zakana"

hannibal nbc where everything is the same but instead this is the intro

it plays out Friends style and has some upbeat romcom music over it

That look that Jack gives Will after Hannibal surrenders and says "I want you to know exactly where I am, and where you can always find me," really says it all. Like, oh yeah, he knows.

Between Life and Death - Fábio Magalhães

Found this article on the Brazilian painter Fábio Magalhães' hyperealistic oil paintings from his collection called Between Life and Death; I think they are very beautiful. I'll put just a couple of his works here but all of them can be found in the article that I've linked along with an interview.

"When I use my imagination to create what we could call metaphors of a body-image, I believe it deals with strategies that I use to bring the private universe and common sense closer to human nature. As I present these images in the painting format, I intend to draw attention to the actions, often incomprehensible, that man has been facing in various parts of the world, whether they are close, distant or in a virtual state."
