the shadow and her living doll 🌹🌼 print for montreal otakuthon! come see me at next week from aug 11-13 ✌

you can grab it as a print here if you so wish ! WIPs & other thoughts under the cut

shadows house is such a fantastic series & i wholeheartedly recommend it... the story delves into super dark horror elements but doesn't present itself as a story with no hope. hope must be found and then tenaciously gripped with all one's heart, much like pandora's box. it tickles the victorian gothic part of my brain forever imprinted on me since i was 14 haha...

in the first draft i had marionette strings hanging above the characters (kinda reminds me of Erased.. since I just finished rewatching that ahaha...) & shadow puppet hands on the sides, almost as if gripping each character. i decided against it in the end, to let the characters shine in the spotlight (literally).

i also wanted a more active or lively pose, but kept in line with the stiff victorian portrait style, caused by long camera exposure times. i'm not sure if that worked out better bc i'm unsure if this drawing is interesting to people wahahaha.

initially i also wanted more of a dollhouse theme, but each draft got more and more muddy, so i decided to save it for another day (i'm around ch 90 in the manga, so probably a good call to save a more complex idea until i'm all caught up)

^ quick 5 min style test i posted recently! in that post i stated that i wanted to streamline and simplify my art style more, especially after the recent bunch of illustrations i did in the past winter that took way too long to complete, at the sake of my health.

im continually looking for areas to simplify more in my art, but one of the areas i will NOT skimp on is depicting fabric!!!!!

what also helped was working on my sense of structure in my spare time, so that i could be better at depicting form without relying so much on shading to show 3d forms. i love colouring, but i need to be working smarter, not harder from now on. using 100000 shades and highlights is just not feasible anymore wahaha.

in this drawing i loosened up with the bg and kept it rough, inspired by the wonderful xeroxed bgs of 101 dalmatians, and only implied details, rather than actually rendering all of them.

the tldr is that i draw too slowly i just would like to be able to make more drawings more often!!

It just feels so canon

In case you are wondering which corpse, it's Margaret's corpse. Read Chapter 197 about how Anthony casually disrespecting a dead character.

I really loved Margaret so much that I cannot possibly let this go

Also I felt cool so I added a signature, then when people post my stuff on Pinterest I won't have to go to the comments and claim the works myself when no credit is given

Last animatic i'm making for this fandom. I lost interest in it years ago, and this is the only thing that has been on my mind, keeping me tied to it. Now i am free

Kate!!!

Just a small piece of art I had motivation for. I love this manga SOO MUCH. The music, the story, the character design, all wonderful. I've been into it since the anime came out. I could yapp about it for hours.

I definitely recommend it, both the anime and manga.

You can argue that what Anthony did is racist towards the Shadows, I mean in the sense that he's not respecting their kind even though they're highly developed and NOT DUMB, I mean you can say that Shadows deserve equal rights just as much as any species do, Anthony however treats them like tools and animals, sure he can say Shadows were also to blame for human mistreatment but THAT doesn't really excuse his actions towards the members of their Kind as well, we can sue him for Animal Abuse with that though if he's considering them as a species of animals

The civil debate they can have, I mean Shadows are just as smart as Humans are and imagine Shadows also making compelling arguments that they're not wrong cuz it's their Nature

Shadows are interesting, they ain't just the one-dimensional "evil" intelligent species that has been in Fiction since FOREVER, even though there's no good or evil species, they're just living creatures

I got this brainrot for a while

Your brainrot is extremely valid, we need jail time for lil ol Anthony
