📚 - Oscar

Inspiration asks | Accepting a few more!

Not a lot tbh! I am woefully uneducated when it comes to tales and folklore. 😅

Beauty and the Beast I guess, on a very bumbling-merchant-and-roses type surface/aesthetic level. (One of v few tales where I’ve actually looked into the ‘original’/early versions, hah)

Otherwise, I guess the closest I can say is that Oscar himself is deeply inspired by tales and folklore in whatever given setting he’s in. (Which. Is obviously another very good reason for me to learn more on the topic!)

In this general direction, I do have a sneaking suspicion that Don Quixote might be. Uh. Topical? I have not read it yet but I am planning to when I find the time. (Yes it’s a classic not a folk tale. SHhh. I’m trying. xP)

pandora hearts print for anime north this weekend 🥀🖤🤍

I also put this up on my inprnt! there's a sitewide sale for 40% off right now 🌟

For this drawing, I really wanted to emphasize the gothic and chaotic, convoluted nature of the series. Pandora Hearts has become a lot of things to me, as someone who's read it since I was like, 14 years old. but I eventually found the perfect words to sum up the series - a cross between a Shakespearean tragedy and a Grimm fairy tale.

The ink brush + watercolour brushes I used turned out so well together!! I wanted the style to be kind of a nod to like the manga cover art you'd see from the late 90s to 2000s, kind of like Mochizuki's early approach to traditional art.

A lighter approach to both the lineart + coloring also helped me not strain my arm too much - besides work, I stopped doing full illustrations due to the amount of work being heavy on my arm/shoulder T__T. my last full illustrations were the TGAA/DGS zine + WHA zine pieces back in Dec-Jan, but my heart really lies in illustrations more than anything and I definitely want to get back into it!! (as long as my physical health allows it!!)

anyways, above is the thumbnail/inspiration board for this drawing! I also did some quick chickenscratch studies of others' drawings to help me get a sense of their composition. I started on the top left and then made a sort of meandering curve through... definitely went through a lot of ideas for this one. If I explained the intended symbolism.. I would be here.. all day..............

the candles were definitely first inspired by an animation of a lighter I did during art skool... and then I did this AA Dahlia animated illust... and then this OC charm (below) I did in 2022...? maybe I should draw fire more often. it's like, the way that fire looks in animated keyframes that I really like drawing out, and I guess I kinda really enjoyed translating that into a non moving visual medium??

This drawing simultaneously took SO long but I also sped through it?? I had to like... not dwell too long on certain parts... like for example I think some individual character compositions really could be a lot stronger... because I knew this would be a beast of a drawing, I didn't want to spend an unnecessary amount of time focusing on details when I should be looking at the big picture. and I know that's a bad habit of mine!! I'm trying to unlearn my perfectionism!!

thanks for reading if you got this far, hope ya enjoy it!! and I hope I'll keep drawing Pandora Hearts in the future (clearly I haven't stopped since high school omg) and I hope to draw some more Vanitas someday beyond just chibis!

Arthur Lester is FINE.

(Season 5 references below the cut.)

He has bronchitis, but he's on the mend. Fever dreams of faerie forests and medieval murder mysteries fade from his mind as John feeds him the last of the chicken noodle soup. Noel is safe and sound in the kitchen, concocting a potato leek soup with ingredients Oscar brought this morning. Oscar is visiting later, with Daniel and Marie. Everything is and will be okay.

Rough sketch, pen on paper, and the highlighter on the pre-installed photos app. Someday I'll invest in proper art supplies.

Race so wild I had to colour code it. Anyways the quality is terrible so you'll have to click to see a better image.

Of course I missed some stuff (like Ocon having a tear-off in his air duct or whatever happened with Alonso) but I ran out of space so this is all I could get lol

How do you come up with sketch ideas? i stg your sketchbook is like a fucking sitcom or something, your doodle dumps make me laugh out loud. how do you do that????

honestly I just think about the fictional guys wayyyy too much. I’m a very visual person when it comes to my thoughts so really it’s just copying them down to the best of my artistic abilities. always putting those guys in situations and since I’m so averse to writing fanfics I make the most crusty sketches imaginable to cope
