Hi! (it's me from my main blog lol you don't have to post this ask)

I saw your reply in the notes and I wanted to respond but I hit the word limit :(

there's so much more I wanted to say but I felt like I was a little annoying in the tags + aforementioned word limit, but everything about those two pieces were so insanely striking in a way I can't even articulate!! The soft yellow lighting brushed through the clothing folds and colors, the way it frames adis' face and features is just,,, mesmerizing is the only way I can put it.

Also the care taken into their poses and body language (especially idia) and the use of background elements such as that painting to illustrate the relationship between them was masterfully done!! You manage to convey so much with these geniusly picked visual elements and you pull it off with such gorgeous

style and skill! It just makes me go insane, I for the life of me can't stop looking at it.

And the design for idia's father also looks so so good!! I especially love how you drew his teeth thinner in a way more reminiscent of hades, and the stronger jawline and broader figure seems very telling of his character and gives the viewer a great idia of what his personality's like! (I also just, absolutely adore how you draw shroud hair it's the best thing I've ever seen iajugtfikp I love it so much </3) also the skull tie...its really smart ngl

AND THE SECOND PEICE IS NO LESS STELLAR BTW, I could go on but I feel like I'm rambling too much I'm so sorry if it's too much!

No need to apologize, it’s no problem at all! You’ve got a really keen eye!

(Also, this is probably the most in-depth analysis I’ve gotten on a piece and I mean that in a genuinely positive way scdvcgvbv this was a very pleasant surprise 😭❤️)

Thank you so much!! I’m not the best at words, so pardon me if I’m a little incoherent— but I’m very happy about many of the points you brought up!

Both pictures were made (in an attempt) to be a character introduction using visual storytelling hints to bring forth the viewer’s curiosity and imagination though things you mentioned, like body language (Idia’s of melancholy/frustration, Adis’ of mechanical charisma and ignorance of his son’s discontent) and using mythology comparisons (such as the painting!) to add more nuance to their strained relationship!

And I’m glad you noticed the little details on Adis’ design, to his tie and his Hades homage! It makes me honored to see people like the old man…🥹 and on the lighting/hair, I’m very happy that you like how they were done! 🥺❤️

For the sake of not talking people’s ears off and to cool the flames of my ego, I’ll stop here haha. But I’m very happy to have received your ask! Have a nice day! 😭❤️
