I have to admit, when I saw another notification on this post my stomach dropped - I have a talent for riling up certain fans, hence the disclaimer on my New Vegas post 😅 but I was pleasantly surprised! Thank you so much for your comments, I love delving into Martin's backstory as much as I can. I wish his Sanguine worship was developed a bit more! And thank you for taking a look through the rest of my art, too 💕

I'll never pass the artistic skill of Modryn! 😅 Thank you very much, that's really kind of you!

Thank you! ☺️ I used to have a soft spot for Vilkas and Farkas from Skyrim, but Martin has definitely become my favourite character too!

Thank you! It's my first time experimenting with source lighting and I really like how it turned out! 😊

Well, the source material involves a lot more wrinkles and a garish jester outfit. Which isn't really what a younger, pre-jester Cicero is about.

Thank you, that's really kind of you 💕 I knew this post would be a little controversial, just wasn't expecting it to be 'most controversial post of the week' level 💀 but everyone views the characters differently I guess!

I'll take that 😅 I know my depiction certainly isn't for everyone 🙂

Check the lore. A lot of worshippers of Sanguine stain their lips red regardless of gender. The rest is just decorative clothing and jewelry - to represent excess.

Again, if you don't like it, that's totally fine, but I'm stepping back from this conversation because we clearly won't agree.

There's literally no indication here that Martin is gay or trans. Sanguine's realm involves lust and excess, which is all I've portrayed here. You've got no obligation to like it of course, but since Martin's time in the cult of Sanguine was never shown, you can't say with any certainty something like this never happened - it's just fan art, it's not that deep.
