Julia’s Commissions - OPEN

Hey friends, This is my first time opening commissions. I am willing to talk a lot to find a price estimate you’re comfortable with and to discuss the details of the commission! This to make sure you’re absolutely sattisfied with the work you’re getting! 

I’m willing to share progress pics but please note that at certain stages things can’t be changed anymore. Once I’ve started coloring we can’t change composition anymore for example.

My strong suits:

 Characters & Expressions

Pairs

Nature (trees etc.)

Animals

HISTORY (if you want something historically accurate from a time period I don’t know a lot about I might charge a little for the research time)

Hetalia, Vampire Chronicles, Steven Universe, Undertale

I will draw:

Oc’s (with reference)

NSFW

Fetish (won’t be posted on main)

Furry

Self inserts

any fandom! 

I won’t draw

Mecha

Vehicles

Futuristic cities (I have no fundamental problem with any of these, I’m just not the right artist for them. I won’t be able to give you value for money!)

NSFW with a child

Don’t want to commission me, but want to support anyway? You can: Buy me a coffee

 Note on Architecture:

I am trained in various types of perspective, and knowledgable about historical architecture so it is within my capacity to do architecture. It is however extremely time consuming and something that doesn’t come as easy to me. So if you want something that involves elaborate architecture it will be more expensive. 

Note on opening commissions

: I don’t want to brand these as ‘emergency commissions’. There’s people on tumblr who struggle far more. However, I’m an artist, I’m a professional, this is my job. I need money to eat, to survive. I’m in a  bad financial situation right now, I’ve had to pay a lot for university. So yes, I need this money,No, I’m not in any direct danger.

i found your blog earlier this week and i love your art! i especially like the way you paint renaissance dress! 💕💕 if it's not rude to ask, where do you find your refs?

Thank you so much, I'm glad you like my art!! 🥺🥺💜

And don't worry, your ask is not rude, on the contrary! I'm more than happy to help - even if I want to specify now that I'm not at all an expert in historical fashion, so please don't believe that the outfits I draw are always 100% historically accurate. Also, almost everything I know concerns Italian Renaissance, so if you need reference for, let's say, German Renaissance I'm afraid I will not be that helpful 😔

Anyway! What I do when I want to draw Renaissance clothes is to look at art history! Luckily the Renaissance is a time where a lot of portrait have been made, and sometimes even religious or pagan artworks can be of help!

For example, for Venice I would search for the portraits by Titian or Giovanni Bellini to start, or also for the paintings by Vittore Carpaccio (the "Storie di Sant'Orsola" cycle is GREAT for outfit references). The same goes for other territories, for example a good start for Florence would be Domenico Ghirlandaio, or for Mantua the "Camera degli Sposi" by Andrea Mantegna and so on for the other cities.

If you don't know that many artist (as is my case when I want to draw someone from a place outside of Italy) you can start researching by finding portraits of the governors of the territory that you want to target! For example, let's say that you want to put a character at the start of the Grand Duchy of Tuscany, so you ask yourself (and you ask internet): who was the first Grand Duke? Cosimo I de Medici. Cool, do we have a portrait of him? The first one we find in wikipedia is by Bronzino. Has Bronzino made other portraits? Yes! And you already have some references.

Alternatively, you can look up who were the wife and children of Cosimo, and search for portraits of them.

Some disclaimers about this method are:

Mostly the people who had portraits of them made were noblemen and noblewoman, and they posed wearing their best outfits, so be careful if you want to take them as a reference for common people!

Many times religious or pagan paintings are set in renaissance times in terms of outfits, but they are still stories from another time and age, so I wouldn't be surprised if the artists took a few liberties with the clothes

Then as now, fashion trends changed, so I would keep an eye on the dates in which the paintings were made

Some other references:

I feel some artist do a much better work than mine when researching historical clothes, for example @aph--lietuva draws amazing clothes! If you have instagram, I love the work of toscasam, who always puts a great care in researching the clothes of her characters!

I'll also leave some photos from a book I have at home, but please consider:

These are all references took from paintings, so all the disclaimers I listed above still stand;

I found this book in a vintage shop and it has been printed in 1959, so I’m sure you will find much more nuanced modern publications out there;

The captions are in Italian, but I'll leave them here anyway because the years of the clothes are still understandable

Italian Renaissance:

Also, IF SOMEONE READING THIS POST HAS BETTER REFERENCES, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ADD INFORMATIONS IN THE REBLOGS! The more sources we have, the better!

Lastly, I would like to end this post by saying that despite the researches I'm more than willing to take some liberties when I draw. I'm an artist and not an historian, and whenever I feel like I'm limited by the lack of references I don't dwell too much on it and prioritize the completeness of the drawing by adding things from my mind, so don't rely too much on my art if you are looking for historical accuracy!

And that's all it comes to my mind about the topic. I hope I have been helpful (and clear, I know I still have some problems with the English language 🥲)! Thank you so much for the question and have a lovely day <3

Your art is so beautiful!!! Also it reminds me of coraline the animated movie have you ever drawn her or the other mother?

thank you so much!! 💌

it is interesting because you are not the first person that says that my art reminds them of coraline, despite it never having been one of my references — but i used to love the movie and especially the book as a kid, so it is an honor if my work gets associated with them :) anyway no, I have never created anything coraline-related before, but if you want I’ve made these extremely quick sketches (I would have liked to draw something more elaborated, but unfortunately in this period I have very little time for art and this is the only thing I can offer)

Your Art Is So Beautiful!!! Also It Reminds Me Of Coraline The Animated Movie Have You Ever Drawn Her
