im curious, what fashion did you pull inspo from if not tudor? im trying to do some drawings too but im getting stumped on references
I try and pull from pre-16th century fashions but I'm not super consistent and the answer changes with time. in the first drawing i did of cersei's mourning gown i broke that rule and it definitely feels too modern to me in retrospect
I like the houppelande as the base garment for women, and for menswear i typically use clothing from late medieval Rus (i'm sorry I don't actually know the name of specific garments). I like the layered fabrics and i think it gives costumes a similar weight to the womenswear while also mimicking some of the silhouettes with the high neckline and long sleeves. i also think the use of trousers instead of western european hose creates a more recognizable visual gender divide for a modern audience. if that makes sense.
hair is just made up because grrm likes to write women with their hair down and there aren't a ton of examples of that, so i just try to mesh some fancy updo with loose hair in a way I think looks pretty.
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 !
Is your stuff digital or (irl?) oil, I can’t tell, love it though 🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵
it’s digital lol. I don’t have the space or budget required to do oil painting. I loved using them in school though
Tenar <3 my friend promised me a strangegirl protagonist in the Tombs of Atuan and I was not disappointed
“Blue is a good color on you, my lady,” Jaime observed. “It goes well with your eyes.” She does have astonishing eyes.
I would destroy to see some standalone art of Jon Snow (if you want)- your art style is so beautiful.
I WILL! >:) I actually already had a wip going but literally just last night I discovered some art of him that was uncannily similar… so I’m scrapping and starting over for the sake of not looking like I copied the other artist </3 but rest assured he will show up eventually
YOUR BRIENNE IS SO. HER. oh my god. your art is beautiful this is incredible. i always imagined her to look like that
thank u !! she is so fun to draw… girl of all time
If there are two lucia fans I'm one of them, if there is one lucia fan that's me, if there are no lucia fans I died
AMEN!
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 :)
hello!!! recently i’ve started reading asoiaf, in part bc i was so bewitched by your artwork! you’re really really talented! i love you depiction of the characters, i cannot imagine them any other way now.
what i wanted to ask is, what do you use to draw? (ipad, drawing pad X, etc.. i don’t know any names pf things actually im just saying words) if you tell me i would be very grateful, thank you!!
hello!! wow!! I am touched and I hope you enjoy the books as much as I have :)
currently I use an ipad pro and apple pencil with the procreate app! I hope that helps!
