Unfinished 2020 WIP ☯

you are my universe 💫💜✨🩷

in the night I lie and look up at you when the morning comes I watch you rise there's a paradise they couldn't capture that bright infinity inside your eyes

I wanted to make a painting about my favorite thing about taehyun... his beautiful brilliant mind 💜🥰 when I got into txt I was immediately charmed by kai but taehyun soon snuck up on me with his startling wit and serious, thoughtful questions that meant I know I'd have just the best theoretical conversations with him. I learn random new things from him on a daily basis and I love his constant curiosity, so I thought of painting an endless galaxy (for him to ponder existentially) to mirror the beauty of his mind. 🌌✨

The revamped versions of some old work recently won some awards at the state photo competition so I'm reposting them!

So apparently this is what happens when I’m supposed to be drawing an ancient civilization for school but get as far as a temple before my TPW brain takes over.

More info, close-ups, and high res will be up soon on my DeviantArt

he just thinks he's so cool, huh? {it's adorable}

I've always wanted to draw debut-era vernon (especially with that little bandana he used to wear 🥺) so when I got invited to a mansae collab and vernon was the only slot left I knew it was written in the stars for me. (The struggle for refs was real but I ended up chosing my least favorite becaue it was the most mansae. This photo cracks me up, he was trying so hard to be a cool kid back then not knowing how effortlessly he'd be nailing it by today 😭)

I realized after choosing the ref that in 2015 he was already wearing his SVT ring! 😭 I didn't know when they got the rings but my heart melted to remember how long they've all been together, so I made sure to make the ring the highlight of the painting!

I also took the original photo (cold, gross) and entirely remixed the color scheme into... you guessed it... sunset colors 😂 AGAIN I know, but they're just the best so fight me. (Also... went wild with the scribbles on this one... how we feeling about it folks?)
