You may take away my right to marry, but you'll never. Take. My. FREEEEDOM.
Unless you count being able to marry whomever you love as a freedom, then, well, damn.
Not sure if I like this different approach to lineless. Also I just can't choose colors as well as my sister. She helped with the sky and dirt with Flint and Lady Jaye before I started anything else and it came together so beautifully at the end. Naturally she also does some kickass lineless. Hooowwww.
These bans violate the Equal Justice Under Law tenet. Heck, that is engraved on the front of the U.S. Supreme Court.
A plebiscite cannot deny human rights. That is to prevent something called tyranny of the majority. For example: a ballot measure to exclude blue-eyed people from visiting Big Sur is unconstitutional. Similarly, interracial marriage cannot be legally banned.
If you want to ban civil recognition of one class of marriage, you have to ban them all. That is, not recognize any civil union for tax, inheritance, hospital visitation and so on.
Marriage bans are a civil rights issue. One group of bigots is attempting to deny a civil right to another. They pick up some otherwise non-bigots by talking about the tax cost of letting more people claim marriage tax breaks (the so-called marriage penalty is fiction).
Eventually, society will look upon these bans with embarrassment. You're young enough to see that day.
THEY CAN TAKE AWAY YOUR RIGHT TO VOTE WHOMEVER YOU LOVE, BUT THEY CAN'T TAKE AWAY YOUR RIGHT TO MAKE OUT WITH PEOPLE YOU LOVE. They aren't that big a bunch of heartless idiots who aren't cunning enough to read that "all men are created equal, and entitled to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" bit.
Anyway, I actually like the way that you colored this one! The sublte shading of the hair and armor adds a really nice airbrushed effect. I especially love what you did to the bang of the brown haired girl. Very pretty! And also, I love the poses-they're so well balanced.

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.

[This is] a harm that must be undone by exacting painful death on those causing it.
