Fan art for Deejaymil
This work was inspired by Everything I Never Knew (Reprise) by Deejaymil. In her AU series, people have daemons like in Philip Pullman's "His Dark Materials" universe. They are external manifestations of a character's inner self. In Deejaymil's series of fics, Reid has a hare daemon named Aureilio and Hotch as a wolf-dog daemon named Halaimon. Hotch and Reid have a difficult and sometimes strained relationship but their daemons get along famously. One of the main themes of the series can be summed up in a line from Aureilio where he asserts that "there's nothing wrong with us" simply because they are different. I love that sentiment, and I loved these characters so much I had to draw them. Go read the series - I highly recommend it.
So, this piece is called "There's Nothing Wrong With Us". Graphite on paper, colored in Photoshop. Click image to see it full size.
