Foot studies and well angry mutants who want to destroy things

The Spaces in Between

Commission for @chaddiecakes that took entirely too long, hey-oh.

Title from the How to Destroy Angels song.

It was a rare day off for the Lantos household, or specifically the women. Jin took the time to check up on the production and readings at the plant. He trusted Heru to tend to the house, and Tama to – not behave, but just be Tama. While like a sparrow, Tama made her nest; she’d fly back home, coming through the door filthy, askew and completely happy.

Today, her wings were clipped. Heru wanted her to stay inside to help with chores. Tama reacted as expected: put out, frustrated. Why shouldn’t she be allowed outside? Her father let her out all the time. And he liked the mess fine, last she noted. He knew where everything was, how the chaos operated for them both. Why didn’t Heru see that? Everything had its place; Heru insisted on uprooting everything.

Always with the cold logic, always with the reason; never with the heart, never with the instinct.

Current project - adding color later

Kyrie (eleison) 2020, 10x20-ish mixed media on masonite Media, in no specific order: Watercolor, acrylic, acryla gouache, gold and silver leaf, gold mica flake, lace

Done for @capri-bigbang2k19 

According to the date on my phone, I finished the sketch in late August. I finished not too long ago, making this my first painting of 2020. How fitting, given this piece includes a lot of firsts: mounting a piece on masonite with matte medium as an adhesive; using squeeze bottles and blunt needles to do fine lining/piping (I need to go thinner,) and making shell gold for the purpose of being liquid gold paint (a technique adapted from how Russian icon painters make shell gold, which is both time-consuming and kind of fun.) I also used matte medium as more adhesive for the lacing after looking into how collage and assemblage artists make their pieces stick without fear of glue breaking or yellowing.

I'd visit this intermittently along with working on bees for my local town - it became a form of therapy in which I was allowed to “get real fucking weird,” as some professionals say.

The dried grass, camellias, roses, sweet peas and baby's breath are a reference to my writing contribution to the Captive Prince Big Bang, which needs to be worked on oops, but I got until Saturday.

Title is from the Christian liturgy, but also a reference to my album of 2019: Lingua Ignota’s Caligula, specifically If the Poison Won’t Take You... (TW: loud music, references to domestic abuse.)

More Voltron! Pidge and Keith to match, with Shiro coming up and eventually a Hunk.

Flowers are both calming and a pain in the butt to paint traditionally.

Doodles I've been working on!

These are very loose baselines, but overall this is what I offer art wise. Sizes start as small as 8x10/A4 and go up to to 10x16/~A3 (unless you’d like bigger or much smaller; then we can work on something.)

✨ Payment taken either at ko-fi.com/jesibeans or Paypal (same email) ✨ Please contact at the email with the subject line RE: Commissions because I’ll be guaranteed to see it there. ✨ References, especially for original characters (bonus points if you have face claims/play-bys to get an idea on facial structure/body type!) ✨ If price is an issue, payment plans are absolutely an option. ✨ I will contact you for questions/permission to proceed. ✨ Turn around can be anywhere from a few days to about a month, since again, traditional work takes time, especially with a medium like watercolor.

Generally not cool with the usual suspects (underage, etc.,) mecha; might be inclined to do furry if I like the design enough. NSFW will probably be less literal and more symbolic than anything, I apologize. Ultimately, I will decide if I want to take the commission or not.

Thank you for your time! Signal boosting is fine.
