Drawn by an artist named F-SS.
Fantasy pic of two characters from an old post by post RP site I used to frequent. Probably will turn it into its own standalone story at some point in the future. (in case you're keeping track of how often I say that, expect a chapter written in five years) :P.
I guess, it does involve self love ahah. The snake and the man in its coils are the same people. They are a race of shapeshifters that embody a beast as well as the man. Sassha happens to be a mage that specializes in mind manipulation and hypnotism. This scene is set within a sort of "Mind Castle" created by Sassha that he uses to consult the snake or self to help him strategize through problems. Its really complicated.
