Headlines and flash, flash, flash photography Wouldn't you rather be a widow than a divorcee?

"the take over, the breaks over"

The background painting was Auguste Toulmouche 's The Reluctant Bride. Well, who would want to get married anyway?

may the fourth be with you! here’s a piece I made for class.

it’s inspired by The Reluctant Bride by Auguste Toulmouche and features Padmé at various key stages of her life.

Here’s the original piece:

Padmé outfits I used from left to right:

- Padmé’s wedding gown

- Padmé’s funeral dress

- Padmé’s final senate outfit

- Padmé’s throne room gown

I used symbols of the Republic and the Royal House of Naboo for the outline of the tapestry. Then for the center of the tapestry I depicted Anakin’s lightsaber and also Tatooine’s twin suns, both addressing where her journey begins and the part of her life that’s centered around Anakin.

In the mirror on the left I drew Mustafar, paired with a shattered clock and withering flowers to show that this is where her life ended.

In the mirror on the right, I drew the Naboo Palace partnered with a healthy bouquet of flowers to show that this is where her journey began.

This whole piece is meant to emphasize how short her life ended up being, but she still did so much and lived so many lives within that one lifetime. It’s also kind of a feminine rage piece on how her life was cut short by someone she loved and trusted. Kind of wanted to frame this as her reflecting on her life and decisions.

Hope you guys enjoy! :)

Alright, I'm going to try Tumblr so my first post is going to be one of my personal favorites, a study of sorts of "A Reluctant Bride" by Auguste Toulmouche! I did this way back in 2021 so it's probably the oldest piece I'm willing to post here

The Reluctant Groom

Had the idea sitting in my brain for years now. finally drew it! Well almost, I changed the lighting because I wanted to, as well as the expression. I did originally have him looking straight at the viewer, but I painted over it and liked the more downturned look.

Shout out if you recognize the carpets on the wall! I designed them myself and used them in two different artworks :)
