Yuzuru Hanyu and Javier Fernandez as White and Black Swans, connected by the Red Thread of Fate. The swan reference is likely inspired by Hanyu's iconic swan costume for his Notte Stellata exhibition. Artist is orophineart - January 8, 2020: "After one week+ of struggling with this and almost doubling the original size to create my personal monstrum, I have finally produced smth acceptable. I do not know if I will work on it in the future once I learned more tricks to actually achieve the effects I anticipated itfp but for now: This is it. Ever since I saw the photo of Yuzu holding his Ipod and revealing Javis signature on it, I was trying to draw this (or smth similar at least since my ideas and what I am actually able to pull off differ grestly). It has been a suggestion of my lovely friends lenuska27 kurooscoffee and Valkedictorian and I was happy to oblige. This is borderline rpf even though their companionship is truly smth special in its own right. So don't like - don't yell, pls." (Accessed June 4, 2020)
