There was a distinct pause in time the second she looked upon his face. Emma had seen millions of faces pass through her gates in the underworld – princesses whose beauty started wars, rogues whose greatest sin was the number of individuals they’d seduced with virile charm – but none compared to this man.  There were entire oceans in his eyes, a warmth in his smile. Emma could see why the gods would look favorably upon him to grant him such mystical abilities and why an entire world of people would crave his presence.

He was beautiful.

“Are you the Healer of the Seas?” Emma asked, forcing her voice steady.

“Aye, that I am. May I ask why such a beautiful woman dressed in fine clothes is here seeking me out?”

My art part for the Captain Swan Little Bang!! Heavily inspired by Alphonse Mucha’s works, I wanted to pick up the elements of Queen Emma and Healer Killian, with some accents from the story itself and a little Tarot vibe. 

This time I’m working with a talented writer, a WONDERFUL story, and a theme that I can’t resist it, so I was very happy to know that I was able to draw for it! I want to thank @the-reason-to-sail-home for her creation, inspiration and feedback, and @captainswanbigbang for making this event again with more amazing writers and artists! 
Please, go check out this beautiful story!
