click to see the differnt versions wanted to draw baltics-related art for once so here is my oc Usis (Livonian) like that other artwork of him you can view it upside down or right side up symbolism: - the dual perspective either depicts him drowning or ascending - his face is facing the light which symbolizes the liberation of death (or ascension) - his red fabric/ribbons floating away from him are like the blood of mortality and he is departing from mortality - the pleasant expression is juxtaposed with the circumstances maybe symbolizing his internal peace or familiarity of the sensation of drowning (from his lore) really working on my compositional skills lol
