Forced to face the consequences

So I was inspired to make this piece when I had seen a manga page about the Bible story Salome and the dance of the seven veils where she was presented by John the Baptist's severed head and many ideas started forming, the one I settled on was Ryo holding Miki's bloody head and feeling regretful for directly and indirectly causing her death at the hands of the mob via the broadcast. Perhaps he's regretful because Akira hates him for causing her death and its also planted a seed of doubt that maybe he isn't doing the right thing destroying humanity, or if you are considering my AU, he's regretful that he not has caused harm to the man he loves, but also gotten the woman he loves killed.

I based Ryo's pose and a little of the composition mostly on the painting of Salome: Salome With Column By Gustave Moreau https://cdn11.bigcommerce.com/s-r3utmtjwwz/images/stencil/1280x1280/products/59482/263025/salome-with-column_gustave-moreau__76131.1625537332.jpg?c=2?imbypass=on This was an interesting piece to make and I'm really happy how the background turned out, I'm not used to painting urban backgrounds but it feels like I'm improving in that. XD
