An Inhuman Embrace - Black Bolt and Medusa - Eric Canete

Eric Canete (American)
An Inhuman Embrace, illustration, ca. 2014
Mixed media on paper
9 x 12 in.

This piece perfectly captures the passion and romance between the King and Queen of the Inhumans. Canete is a master at conveying both motion and emotion in his work while stradling the line between realism and abstraction.

I saw this piece in Mr. Canete's portfolio at a con about five years ago. I had already arranged to purchase some other pieces and decided to take a pass. But I couldn't get their penetrating gaze for each other out of my mind.
