I was inspired by the painting The Unequal Marriage by Vasili Pukirev https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasili_Pukirev to make this picture of the wedding of the Slum King and the White Slum Queen(Ryo)
Even with Ryo being emotionally and mentally beaten down by the Slum King into believing that he is in love with his cruel husband and is deserving of any abuse inflicted onto him, he cannot bring himself to feel happy on what is meant to be the happiest day of his life. Instead, Ryo cannot shake the feeling that he is even more trapped than before...
Btw if you like what you see and want a commission drop me a direct message on tumblr, instagram or a note on deviantart https://www.artstation.com/artwork/KerV0y
