Your watercolor piece is so BEAUTIFUL!!! its so hard to see fanart of traditional media and you absolutely *ate* with that one 🥹 the colors are so delicate and i love all the white space you left in between

aaaaa thank you!! always happy to see people be excited about traditional art :D

#asks #rebelwithoutabroom #honestly always makes my day when people get excited about seeing fanart done traditionally #Im gonna rant a moment in the tags now since Ive seen a few people bring up the composition and all that #I was!!! very much influenced by old illustrations to the OG three musketeers #and also very much inspired by the works of the illustrators of the golden age of illustration #(I got to see some harry clarke pieces in person so I kinda went digging thru it)#I was actually about to ditch the entire idea at one point!#really liked the thought of it but not the execution #so I looked thru all these classic artists of the golden age #and then picked up my antique artbook of ludwig richter (his art is really lovely go look him up)#and while going thru the pages I kinda just realised that oh yeah I can just. fake the background #the side alley with the arches is a bit of a weakness of mine #whenever Im on holiday and see one I have to take pictures #I did actually do an illustration in a very similar setting with a similar angle last summer #so I decided to put it down on paper and hey. not bad #I really enjoyed painting this one I like how soft the watercolours came out #it actually looks like watercolour this time! yay!#(I say to myself demeaningly because I aspire to paint like luděk marold one day)#but yes the archway of the alley kinda forms a frame around dream and george #and then you have sapnap breaking it by his fall and his stuff scattered on the floor Outside the frame #all while george is stepping out of the frame to pursue him and dream clutching his arm like 'baby no :((('#and the very light ivy clinging to the wall calls back to the ornate frames of flowers that were used in illustration a lot #i need to do more of these. I really hope to tbh #I had a really good time painting this one #Ive had a really good time painting in general as of late. missed this
