    “Be… Ever Us” – A Venetian Moment of Forever

    The illustration is a black-and-white ink drawing in a fine line sketch style, featuring delicate cross-hatching and soft shadows, set against warm beige-toned paper with a nostalgic, vintage feel.

    In the foreground, two adorable tiger cubs — one representing a boy, the other a girl — sit closely together at the front of a Venetian gondola. Their bodies are turned in the same direction, symbolically sharing a united gaze and journey.

    The cubs have large heads, fluffy paws, and gentle, peaceful expressions. Around their necks are thin necklaces — his in deep blue, hers in garnet red — each holding a glowing golden wedding ring. These rings are the only colored elements in the image: warm, softly glowing gold for the rings, and rich hues for the cords, drawing attention to the quiet promise they carry.

    In the background unfolds the classic scenery of Venice: stone buildings lining the canal, a graceful bridge connecting the shores, and two iconic Venetian landmarks — the dome of Santa Maria della Salute and the Campanile of San Marco — rising above the skyline. These architectural elements lend the piece a sense of place and the romantic soul of the city.

    Above the scene, elegantly and subtly written in a romantic serif font, appears the phrase:“Be… Ever Us”

    The text blends softly with the illustration — visible but never overpowering — reinforcing the quiet tenderness of the moment. The overall impression is one of warmth, nostalgia, and gentle romance — a still, eternal promise shared between two little hearts aboard a gondola in the heart of Venice.

    “Be… Ever Us” – A Venetian Drift of Devotion

    Description:In this tender ink illustration, two endearing tiger cubs sit side by side at the bow of a classic Venetian gondola, gently gliding down a quiet canal. Rendered in fine black-and-white line work with soft cross-hatching on warm beige paper, the scene evokes both intimacy and timeless romance.

    Their fluffy fur catches the light of a fading sun as they gaze forward in unison — not toward a destination, but into a shared future. Around their necks glimmer symbolic golden wedding rings: his on a slender blue necklace, hers on a delicate Czech garnet red — the only touches of color, warm and glowing, drawing the eye to the quiet vow they wear.

    The architecture of Venice rises on either side — aged facades, stone arches, and shuttered windows reflecting in the rippling canal. Though no words are exchanged between them, everything is spoken in their mirrored postures and soft expressions.

    Above them, subtly nestled in the scene, is the phrase:“Be… Ever Us”

    A whispered promise of always, carried gently by the waters of Venice — where love floats softly, without need for words.
