Exalted - School of Meru

Exalted Info:
Two eclipse castes in the first age, The Radiant White Crane of the East and The Brilliant Arbiter of Reason, discussing philosophy. Crane argues that personal perfection is best, ignoring the physical world to reach enlightenment. Arbiter, concerned by his mentor's callousness, argues that they should look to the needs of the mortal subjects they are responsible for.
A few thousand years later, Crane is reincarnated as my PC, Jun, an idealistic young Solar with lofty goals. Arbiter becomes The Walker Among Knights, an abyssal and one of the main antagonists, who thinks everyone would be happier dead.
Drama ensues.

Other Info:
I'm in an art history class this semester, it's getting to me. This is a… sorta parody-ish thing of part of The School of Athens by Raphael, since I found the poses and setting fit very well with these two characters, and I've always really liked the painting. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out, especially since I tried colouring my lines for the first time in ages, and added a semi-complicated background.
