ello bestie. do you have a favorite art nouveau painting or summat? its a banger movement but i cannot be bothered to look for good works from it

OH ANON YOU HAVE ASKED THE RIGHT PERSON!!!! ART NOUVEAU WAS SUCH A BIG FIXATION OF MINE BACK IN SOPHMORE YEAR AND I STILL GET THE BRAIN SPARKLES WHEN THINKING ABOUT IT!!!

atr nouveau REALLY likes things like curvy lines and floral patterns, with a lot of inspiration from celtic and japanese designs. everything about it is supposed to feel decadent, like all the paintings have been (metaphorically) dipped in gold. its SOOO pretty and UGH i cant get enough of it. Theres a LOT of ones that i adore but ill show you my two favorites

this one was made by Alphonse Mucha, and GOD look at those lines!! the majestic flip of the hair!! the meandering lines of the smoke!!! there's so much movement and the lady looks so graceful and regal!! everything about this speaks of eloquence and luxury <333

and THIS one is absolute FIRE my man!! it was made by Hans Christiansen and it is a BANGER. Literally HOW cool do you have to be to draw a lady surrounded by fire with a GIANT SNAKE obeying her?? I wouldnt say this one perfectly encapsulates art nouveau in its entirety (specifically in the way of colors) like the previous one does, but it most CERTAINLY leaves a lasting impression. And, once again, look at those organic lines!! the movement of every single element in this picture!! the fire, the snake, the dynamic pose of the lady!!! GOD this art slaps so much holy shit.

ALSO! here's a link to someone who makes art nouveau stuff! I would have included one in here as my favorite but i didn't think it really counted because it is a modern artwork + theyre still alive and stuff BUT its just so good i had to at least mention it. its SOOOOO pretty oh my GOD.

Anyways, thanks for letting me ramble. I really, really like art nouveau stuff sjgnsj

[theowlhouseheadcanons]

I´ve finished The Owl House recently and I´m just amazed by the show in all its aspects, especially the plot and the designs. Even though the very known Disney´s touch is there, it is placed so smoothly along with the story that makes the show really refreshing to watch. 

But as any cartoon trope, I bet my right hand there will be this prom episode where all the characters will get a new, formal outfit that will make the fandom go YEAH

… But this episode is not here yet, and probably will take some time to be, and since hiatus is taking so long… I took the creative liberty to illustrate some of my expectations. 

Sooo, Ta-dã ! 

It took longer than I´ve expected it to, 

Here it goes the thoughts I´ve put in every piece! 

Willow: yes, I just couldn´t resist the urge to relate her outfit with the tree that is behind her name, and c´mon, you know the creators also have this association in mind. It just fits. The little details on her dress are the flowers from the willow tree, and I wanted to resemble the “wavy strips” shape of leaves in someplace - first I thought about making her dress in this shape, but I wasn´t finding a way to make it right. So I added this detail to her earing, since making the reference more subtle felt like a better reward to give the public once they notice the design´s purpose (hope it made sense)

Gus: our gold boi is an illusionist and a human enthusiast, and I wanted to make both of those traits show off. So, which iconic human being we have that also practiced the art of illusion? If you said Houdini, you´ve read my mind. I based Gus´ suit on the one Houdini used to wear a lot *according to google* and made the little bow tie as a reminder of his coven (not that we needed a remind for that but yeah); And what about the hat? I took the liberty to make it a headcanon that, in one of Owlbert trash raids to the human world, there was this sympathetic top hat laying around and, as Luz knew how much Gus liked human stuff (and wanted him to be more assertive about stuff´s finalities), she gave it to him. And I´m sure you can imagine his enthusiasm, and how forward he was looking to properly use the “artifact” as a human would (even if it´s all beat up!) Besides, the hat was made for a head way bigger than his, so it keeps falling into him and he has to stand funny in order to keep it in place

Luz: Luz is “light” in Spanish/Portuguese, her light spell has this yellowish color so there wasn´t much stress to pick the primal color (picking the right variations in the other hand…that was sort of stressing). For her dress model, I wanted something that expressed her buoyant personality, but still “serious” enough to attend a formal event. So, I made it like a sundress and added some layers of details, as the sleeves and the semi-transparent cloth over the dress´s hem. Also, I “tamed” her hair a bit so it wouldn´t just be the same she uses every day, with this one rebellious lock of hair at the back which refuses to stay put along with the others. 

 Luz appears to me as someone who would love to wear super extra outfits for cosplay purposes, but being conscious about her clumsy self, she would rather stick with something simple enough to move freely (and fast) if the situation requires it - especially because it would be her first prom out of the human world (maybe her first prom in life?) so it would be nice to avoid any unnecessary awkward scenarios - which we all know are totally going to happen. Thus, I thought about adding some glitter to it, but I saved the sparkles for someone else...

Amity: OH I HAD SO MUCH FUN DOING THIS ONE. Amity (spoiler alert) is a big fan of Azura´s books, just like Luz, and it is pretty clear she inspires herself a lot on the character - her dyed hair, the drawing of herself wearing Azura´s clothes on her diary´s cover - SO based on that sweet info it wouldn´t be a surprise if she coded Azura´s dress in her own. I made her dress a plain white (like Azura´s)  but, to resemble Amity social status (da gurl is rich) gave it an “elegant” cut, with the purple, shining and very-expensive looking silk falling upon it to give life to the outfit (and they also translates as the shoulder parts of Azura´s dress). Her earing stands for Azura´s chest star, and I played a “half-fancy” hairstyle to complement. (I don´t like to have favorites, but this one is definitely one)

King: the king of demons claims he´s a naturalist and has concrete displeasure to wear clothes. So little cute smokes were out. But as a king, and with his obnoxious personality, he would definitely want to dress as fancy as everyone else, with the little of “dressing” as possible, get it? I know that adding a bow tie to him isn´t the most creative of looks, but the filling is in the headcanon I (once again) took the liberty to make: King wanted to feel fancy, but he wouldn´t dress a suit, and he refused to go without anything. This led everyone on the house to search for something that King could wear, which resulted in Eda finding some old holiday ornaments boxed in a dark corner of the attic; Among those, there were many red bows of different sizes from where King picked the biggest one - which was meant for Hooty, since it was a door ornament - and a smaller one for the tail, as the final detail. He also gave Hooty one of the bows, a really small one, just to say he gave the owl something. 

Eda: I must confess, Eda outfit was the trigger of this whole thing lol. I was scrolling through Pinterest and BAM this look appeared and my mind instantly associated it with the Owl Lady. I just really wanted to draw her in this look because it is so her. She´s the elegant foxy aunt of the party who put candies in her bag and sneakily takes all the table decorations home (especially the shiny ones!). She received Principal´s authorization to attend the prom with no risks of being arrested, as a treat for her good choice of enrolling Luz there, which is the only reason she´s so proudly showing off who she is (I´m talking about the necklace, if you´re wondering). Plus, her hair up was so fun to make? I´m 100% ready to see it canon

oof, this was long.

I´m thrilled at the chance to share it with you guys, and I´m more than welcome to feedback!

Artist appreciation aye???? *cracks knuckles* I appreciate so many, firstly, so I am sorry if I’ve left someone off the list (list is in no particular order)

@rottclaw I absolutely love his lines and shading and everything. His art looks very polished and has a soft sort of ethereal vibe too, very mysterious and calming and also sometimes unsettling (but in that way that’s like sooo good).

@serpents-fr The expressions they draw are really cute and emotive, I love their sort of simple-yet-detailed style of art, it’s very distinctive. Like I will be scrolling along and be like “AHA! Serpents original content heck yee B) “ 

@dragondrawsdragons Great shading and cute designs! I love the emotions they capture in the faces of their dragons.

@196794 Speaking of hot anthros (and awesome characters!!) check out Gemra’s stuff if you haven’t. I love everything about how they draw. Very clean well done lines that make the poses look so natural. 

@quiving Just super sick lines and style. Reminds me of awesome comic book art!

@molten-wartoad I love their interesting and unique designs and also they draw backgrounds so like, mad props. Backgrounds are scary. Great atmosphere in their pieces, I feel like I’m looking at something very mysterious and spooky.

@pious-fr Really cool character designs and also that picture they drew of their lair was a STUNNER.

@crayonflight just ADORABLE stuff over here. I love how cute their art style is, their characters are very enjoyable.

@hungrytundras I adore every single one of their updates like, hhhh. Their art and their lore is so GOOD. I love how much depth they’ve gone into with their lore outfit designs and their style of art is so distinctive. It gives me the warm fuzzies when I see it. Like I will see a new post from them and just feel happy.

Mother + Daughter Mermaid Costume DIY  – An Attractive Mess

It’s my first Halloween season having a youngster of my own and since we have just a little girl I thought it would be an ideal chance to do a truly fun Mother/Daughter outfit this current year. okay, which have always been we joking, it’s simply the only 12 months that I have to pick what she is because she’s inadequate to care at this point … might as well make use of that, right? Sooo, mermaids it really is!!Supplies: – 2 yards stretch scale imprinted spandex fabric for Baby and Mom’s dress (i obtained mine from JoAnns but this looks truly comparable) – Mermaid shells template – 1 garden stretch green shimmery knit for Mom’s skirt – nude bodysuit for mother and Baby – iron-on sparkle sheet – pink wig for Mom – straight pins and textile scissors – kraft report roll – 1″ elastic – 1″ foam roll for fin (look at your sewing or craft shop for a few but should-be like this)

Very first you’ll want to make a pattern for the little mermaid tail. Place your infant onto some rolled aside kraft report and trace loosely around themselves, attracting your end fins in the bottom under where their particular foot end. Make use of a measuring tape determine around making note next to their particular their rib cage, hips, and knees (leave their knees in a comfortably open position when you measure so they aren’t also restrained). Draw your fin shape in the bottom for the design under their legs while making a mark to indicate exactly how large you want the tail skirt ahead up on the baby’s ribs.

Adjust your pattern shape as needed to match with your baby’s measurements. As you sized all the way across the child you desire your design becoming half that circumference in those spots (so if they sized 20″ your structure must certanly be 10″ broad because location), and add another 1.5″ of length to your top of tail the waistband seam. Fold your report down the center of the tail (so that you have actually a perfectly shaped shape once you slashed it), and cut out your design. Fold your spandex material in half and put your design on top, pinning it gently in position although you cut-out your fabric.spot your tail top pieces correct sides together and sew completely round the sides (leaving the most truly effective open) with a 1/2″ seam allowance. I utilized regular bond back at my machine but find the “stretch stitch” choice that my device has actually and it worked effectively. Just try your device manual in the event that you aren’t yes which stitch that could be for your model, but the majority all devices get one.Once I'd sewn entirely round the dress, We laid the tail part onto my foam and traced around it with a marker. However cut out the tail about an 1″ smaller compared to the tracing therefore it would fit into the base of the end effortlessly with some “V” form on her behalf legs to stay above.Before adding the foam into the tail, we clipped aside some “V” forms on the indents of my end material so that the material would lay smoother in those spots once it had been flipped right-side out. Flip the very best 1.5″ of your waistband over and sew completely across the advantage with a .25″ seam allowance (making a 2″ orifice to incorporate the flexible through later on). Thread your 1″ elastic through opening and sew your flexible loop closed. You might safety pin it shut and try the dress on the hottie to ensure it’s not also free or also tight before sewing it together. As soon as your flexible is in, close-up the orifice inside hem and so the flexible is completely enclosed. Turn your infant dress right-side out plus it’s time and energy to run Mama’s dress!Repeat the process of making a skirt for Mom exactly the same way you did using the child top (elastic waistband and all), but leave underneath available and end it appropriate at the knee in place of making fins (Mama needs to stroll, so we will make hers only a little differently). It must fundamentally seem like a pencil skirt with an unhemmed bottom.So, now we are going to reduce a giant donut shape of fabric for the bottom bit of your dress. You fundamentally want the diameter entirely across the bottom of your pencil skirt becoming the same diameter associated with inside circle of your donut (the donut “hole,” as they say). To find the right dimensions group, you’ll want to reduce, measure the width of this bottom of the pen top (laying flat) and grow that quantity times 2. Then, divide that quantity by 3.14 and that ought to be the diameter regarding the circle you'll want to cut. So, to really make it more clear, in case the pen top base is 15″ large, you’ll multiply that by 2 and obtain 30″. After that you’ll divide 30″ by 3.14 to get approximately 9.5″ ins and you’ll cut a 9.5″ wide circle into the middle of your textile.

Because you wish your skirt to simply hover over the flooring, you’ll also want to use on your pencil top and assess the length you ought to cover through the bottom associated with skirt into flooring. That quantity will likely be exactly how dense the actual donut section of your material will likely to be. So making use of our pretend figures from above, if you needed 20″ through the bottom of your pencil top to the flooring your complete donut form diameter will have to be 49.5″ wide (20″ using one part + 9.5″ at the center + 20″ on the other side = 49.5″ complete width). Make sense?

If that is like way too much mathematics, you are able to guestimate and cut a huge group with a small circle-in the center and just keep widening that inside circle bit by bit until it’s just like the bottom of your pen skirt. Sew all of them collectively then hem off any extra from the base if it's too long.

okay, so you got your donut-shaped piece determined, turn it therefore correct edges associated with the fabric face one another and pin your inside donut edge to the bottom of the pen dress. Make use of your stretch stitch to sew completely around the base therefore the pieces are linked. Now your dress is doneto complete To finish in order to complete the design, print your shell template through the offer listing and trace the forms onto some iron-on sparkle sheets. Cut fully out your shells (resizing them bigger or smaller if you need to for the bustline) and metal all of them onto your bodysuits into the proper locations. Today you’re ready to place it completely!Since Lola is a bit too small for a matching red wig as of this time, we made the girl a headband through the tail spandex and I believe that works a lot better for little babies. You simply cut out two bits of loooong rectangle forms with rounded sides, sew together making an opening, flip right side out, hand-sew or glue that opening closed, and tie into a knot. Therefore pretty! AGGGGHHHHHHH!!! most likely among my personal favorite things I’ve available and I’ll prize these pictures for some time to come also. It’s good that do not only does she look adorable, but she can wiggle around pretty easily in that top and because it’s spandex permits her to go quite a bit. Needless to say, when you have a child that can’t sit maybe not perambulating for lengthy, i might skip the fin part making all of them a mini mommy top as an alternative so that they can go also. Can’t delay to just take her call at this for Halloween, and because she can’t eat the woman candy very yet, I can also positively help this lady with that component. 😉 xo. Laura
