So, so gorgeous and I am entirely not surprised you're getting rave reviews on this :D Love how on both pictures Charles' gaze is the strongest and his expression the most compelling, even though the whole perspective has changed from the first to second to favour Erik more. You've handled the transition well, and there's so much in these paintings (?) that you could spin so much writing out of this...

How long did it take you, by the way? It looks like a lot of work!
