Oh hey! I originally signed up to write for WIP Bang and this year I did actually finish (!), but I decided not to publish for various reasons. I still wanted to participate so I signed up for art and ended up with this cool fic by spikedluv, which you can find here! I wanted to draw the Nemeton in both timelines to show the contrast, and I had a black canvas I wanted to experiment with so I cut it and a white canvas in half and stitched them together (which was NOT easy), which gave the present-day panel an eerily bright quality. I personally think it looks much better in person, but you'll have to take my word for it :P I've included a banner version and the original drawing.

Again, thank you so much for this artwork! I love that you decided to draw the Nemeton, and I'm so chuffed about the detail of the bloody handprint! (And the bowl and the candles!) Also, thank you for sharing your process. It's so interesting that you thought to use different color canvas for the background to highlight the difference between the timelines.
