Eventually #Xena & Gabrielle find themselves without a ship, in Go West Young Warrior Part 1, from the final quadrilogy of the Xena Virtual Season, which appeared 21 years ago. For this drawing I was inspired by Titanic, the last scene with Leo & Kate. This story arc was set in the sensuous atmosphere of the Amazon jungle, & as they approached what we now call South America, my drawings took on an increasingly sensual tone. It became looser & focused more on expressing emotions than tight accuracy in depiction. The light implies they are under the heat of the equatorial sun, & you can see Gabrielle’s tattoo on her back. Their metal armor has been tied to the makeshift raft, to prevent them from drowning.
