lady catelyn
ppl keep talking about the hands on this one so I am going to let you in on a secret: I just took a picture of my own hands as reference. you, too, can do this to make your life easier… <3
The queen wore a high-collared black silk gown, with a hundred dark red rubies sewn into her bodice, covering her from neck to bosom. They were cut in the shape of teardrops, as if the queen were weeping blood.
hiii i just wanted to say i love your style and how you draw clothes, it looks so interesting! the lines!! it's so nice!!!
thank youuu I love to draw clothing. stems from my tragic backstory of being determined to stop drawing anime characters with their clothes suctioned to their bodies
“Blue is a good color on you, my lady,” Jaime observed. “It goes well with your eyes.” She does have astonishing eyes.
I just found your art and I must tell you that I am totally in love, it is simply beautiful and precious. Your talent is incredible! ❤️❤️❤️
Could you comment on the clothes you use for jon? I never saw him represented that way and now I've fallen in love! Thanks for share. If you ever need to open commissions, I'll be happy to commission you!
hi ! tysm :) I am happy to share, but it should be noted that I am definitely not a fashion history expert. I tend to pull from fashions in the medieval era, typically in the kievan rus/old russia region. I also sometimes draw from Ivan Biliban and similar illustrators and the fashions they use to depict Russian fairy tales.
Jon’s coat is pretty simple. it’s nice enough to be fur lined, but not nice enough to have any sort of decorative elements. His hat (I think) is slightly post-medieval, but I liked the silhouette. it felt dramatic enough for a lord commander without being too extravagant, and thought it would definitely come in handy for keeping warm at the wall. Any time I’m illustrating someone in the North, I try to cram in a bunch of furs so they’re not freezing. Also his sheath is taken from Link’s sheath for the master sword bc I couldn’t find one for the back that I liked lol
At the end of the day it’s a fantasy, and if george is going to insist on everyone having long flowy hair, I’m not going to kill myself with making everything ELSE 100% accurate. I stay silly :3
oh, Lucia…
close-ups under the cut :)
Hey, just fyi, you have your search off-- not sure if it's on purpose or by accident, but it means you don't appear in the tags. If it's deliberate, no worries, but in case it's not, thought you might like to know.
OOPS I’m just an idiot. I turned it off forever ago bc I was worried abt someone lurking on me but it’s back on. thank u for letting me know!! :)
I really like the detail of the thorny vine wrapping around Lucia’s ankle in your new piece!! I know u said she’s shoeless bc u didn’t want to draw shoes but!!! One could argue her stockinged feet being exposed could represent her leaving herself vulnerable to hurts she thought she was safe from 🤔💭
ah! the shoes I was referencing are actually not lucia’s. they are a specific type that I don’t like and didn’t want to draw andrea in so I just put him in a pair that is technically plausible I think but about stylistically 10 years too modern for the period he’s in. lucia’s feet being bare were intentional for the reasons you suspected :)
are you into any other fandoms, other than asoiaf? Adore your art, would love to see Tom Riddle in your style
you will never get harry potter fanart out of me. please read another book this isn’t your heart
your stark family fan art is EVERYTHING i love it so much ❤️❤️
I forgot to answer this bc i’m a bit silly THANK U tho <3 I have so much fun drawing them which is funny bc at first I thought I had no interest in it !
'tolerating' no. I am savouring these. I can't believe you drew all those flowers, they look amazing, the way the colours of the figures are is so wonderful...! if you post more oc stuff I'd definitely b interested!! no pressure obvs obvs
thank u!!! mwah mwah. unfortunately unless I make something I am particularly proud of I will probably keep my oc stuff off of tumblr i think. I like to be able to delete things when I suddenly decide I hate them <3 that has been my only gripe w tumblr I have to see art I don’t like anymore floating around forever. c’est la vie
I do have a tiny IG (same username) that I post my ocs and sketches on. I don’t promo it bc I mostly post there for friends and mutuals but that is the place to find my original stuff and glimpse into my wonderful world of deranged ocs ^-^
