The Marriage of Aerona and Gaius

Happy (belated) birthday erin-hime! I haven't been waiting to redraw this for years or anything.

Aerona Argall and Gaius Apollon. Canonically they've always been a couple, but in recent versions Gaius has had less presence than he had in the past. It made me a little bit sad since I liked their chemistry, but I also know that there are only so many characters that can have screentime. I was still happy to see with them being aged up that I can actually redraw this piece again. Sort of. My tastes have changed somewhat. I based Aerona's wedding dress more loosely off this B. Alton wedding dress with baffling, baffling sleeves (seriously, I have no idea what's going on there, that's why I kept the lace cap sleeve and discarded everything else.) Also I liked the yellow tone (and yellow looks great on her) - to me it makes more sense that aliens wouldn't adhere to the pure white wedding gown anyway but this piece was not canon in the slightest anyway, haha. Gaius' jacket was adapted from a coaty I saw on Etsy, but I like it - it has the same general sort of look while being more in line with what they actually wear and not just...pseudo Regency wear.

This is really more of a spiritual successor than a straight redraw, but that's good because I like this one much better, and I hope you do too Erin! Always fun to draw these two, and they're so cute! Happy birthday!
