The Portrait of Pope Innocent XIV and Cardinal Lawrence (2025)

An homage to Jacques-Louis David's 1808 portrait of Pope Pius VII and Cardinal Caprara during Napoleon's coronation that depicted the Pope's stressful moment as he was forced by Napoleon to travel to Paris.

In this piece I envision that Pope Innocent XIV’s papacy faces some resistance from the traditionalist faction and the weight of it is evident on both their faces.

He wears the Roman chasuble (I used elements of the design by Lisy Christl) and Lawrence wears his pectoral cross (by Riccardo Penko) pinned to his cassock in order to appease the opposition by superficially adopting traditional aesthetics while he implements Church reforms, inspired by the real life reception of Pope Leo XIV by online Trads despite very clearly continuing Pope Francis’s legacy. 

Vincent was also “forced” into the papal throne when he was elected Pope, leaving behind his flock in Kabul, adding to his melancholy.

This will be in my Comic Frontier 21 prints catalog, and is the first in a series of art history inspired Conclave fan art that I have planned for a future personal zine project. International sales and shipping for my other prints are still in the works, but I'll post an update once all is set!

Here's the BTS process with the original paintings by Jacques-Louis David and what the photobash recreation looks like underneath the painting layers.

Genuinely one of the funniest crossovers I drew lmfao but I do think Lawrence resetting the timeline to prevent Benítez‘ papacy is kinda fun��‍↕️

Since I drew Boboiboy as Hina (from Isshou Senkin), why not draw Ali as Rei (Hina's friend/enemy)

Figuring out how to draw old people

More info under the cut ig?✌️

The Elemental Experiment was something born out of TAPOPs' desperation. With their dwindling staff, lack of funding and the massive expense of losing both resources and men on missions across the galaxy, the heads of TAPOPs decided to invest what they could towards a project that aimed to revolutionize their forces, alongside preserving the abilities of older power spheres.

Seven of the tests ended up in disaster, and the things the staff were forced to bear witness to would be enough to question just what goals were they truly working towards. Still, the organization pushed on, and with the donation of blood from a certain human hero with close ties to his own power sphere, in their 8th attempt, they finally succeeded.
