My soul remembers

I love the artwork, it gave me a mental image of Ignis feeling a mixture of deep regret. loss of Noctis and his sight but also of his old ways and as you say, the recollection of the power of the Lucis Ring. With Ignis naked and just sitting with his head hung in woe, I could feel he was meant to have a bath to relax, probably as an attempt to feel better in himself, rather than by habit, but ended up just sitting on the edge of an empty tub, reliving that day. He does seem so alone in his thoughts and feelings and it is not surprising that he would be, he holds the secret as a burden. You have captured the whole mood and sorrow of this man so well in this picture, that I find myself empathising with Ignis and wanting to offer some comfort. Totally beautiful picture and this is the only naked Ignis that I have seen with the true character of the man thought off and kept in mind. I can see this is an Ignis in a very sad place not just by the look but his feelings come out clearly in your art. Thank you for sharing this and for making a painting of Ignis nude with the dignity he deserves. I look forward to seeing more like this.
