Scrolling Through My Old Photos I Found This Relic From 2020, Aramis, Aka René D'Herblay Aka The Bishop

i don’t know who this woman is. but these two nameless photos of that i think are both of her have shown up in two separate threads of photos of lesbians, a month apart. and i picked them out to attach to without even realizing it was the same woman at first. and i am hopelessly attached to her

edit — her name is asia. both photos were taken by chloe sherman in san francisco, in 1996. [x] [x]

Fingolfin’s Challenge - 14 year redraw edition

This drawing, and this moment, mean so much to me. I first drew this scene 14 years ago, and when I uncovered the old drawing a few months ago, I knew I had to redraw it. Old drawing and close ups are under the cut:

When I was 12 this was the best drawing I had ever done. The original concept was to have the map behind him because I don’t like doing landscapes and never have. For the new drawing, I decided against writing out the place names over the mountains for fear that it would be too cluttered. I also decided to change the shield design to a more Norman style incorporating his heraldry and I replaced the greaves with boots for purely aesthetic reasons. I KNOW he should be wearing a helm and it’s in the text I literally transcribed, but I do not care because seeing his hair is important to me. I *might* draw him in a helm in the future. If the universe wills it so.

More close-ups of the new drawing:

Dimensions are 18x24” and the media are watercolor, india ink, fineliner and gel pen. Writing the whole passage took over two hours and I got *so* emotional. fjggjgghkvhk *clawing at the bars of my enclosure*

I have no idea how many hours I spent on it in total but I have been tinkering on it for 3 months.

I was really afraid that I made him look too old by trying to render his facial expression. I am also concerned that I haven’t captured the full depth of his emotion. But I tried my fucking bestest and that’s all that one can do. If I am still a fingolfucker in another 14 years I will draw him again and it will be even better <3

two more doggos i painted this week for my dad and his wife

My first attempt at going from greyscale to color... I think it's kind of decent? If anyone has any tips on this technique for me they'd make me happy. Really happy.

The original idea was to leave it black and white to give it a daguerrotype feeling, but I am quite tempted to try and colorize it.

The fool on the hill (I'm transfering this one on a sweater to paint it. It's gonna be cool).

This was one of my favorite songs since I was a little outcast of a baby (small town are somewhat evil) and still is to this day.

Fly or die (the Last Greenseer)

I was reading A Song of Ice and Fire (again) and I felt like painting Bran's "fly or die" dream. The problem is that my brain is broken and I ended up thinking about the Three Eyed Crow and how he probably may have learned greensight the same way from his predecessor... so here is Brynden Rivers being taught the fine art the greenseer by almost being impaled on oniric spikes.

(In my headcanon this happened while he was recovering from the Redgrass Field)
