Sleep Token’s IV mask portrait.

If you want to know what this is about, check the tag #vessels-two-front-teeth. That’s where all of my original posts are. You’ll find all of my posts about this painting and all future works too.

The flowers and their meanings:

Small pink flowers:

Amaryllis: the flower of the muses. IV is my muse and the whole reason I wanted to do these paintings in the first place. Also have you seen him? He’s beautiful.

Big pink flowers:

Camellia: symbolic of adoration and devotion. I absolutely adore IV (can’t you tell, I mean he’s precious), and at this point I’m going to be a fan of this band for the rest of my life. Hence the devotion.

The leaves:

Astragalus flower: has the meaning of “you make the pain less.” I chose these ones because, well, I’m going through a really shitty stressful time right now and ST are the only thing keeping me sane. I’ve literally had dreams about them telling me to just breathe and that everything will be alright.

I am honestly so proud of this. I hoped that it would turn out this good, but imposter syndrome is a pain in the ass sometimes.

Now the only thing left to do is get the chance to give it to him in person. That is the dream.

Also voice reveal at the end when I 🫠 with peeling off the tape 😂

aaAAa!

(couldn't decide between a couple filters lol so threw them in too)

Wasn't thrilled with the mask change when they first did it but ngl I'm very much warming up to the boys' new look 😌

Other, other eye, following a scarlet trail...

Vesselette fanart because my queens deserve it.

I took creative liberties with the mask, so let's pretend that's what it looks like. Also it's been a minute since I've done anything like this so be nice 🥺

Little rant and details under the cut. Tumblr is a bitch and keeps messing up the formatting.

I'm not super pleased with how it turned out but, oh well. Posting anyways for accountability or whatever. If this is looking a bit different from my previous sketch, it's definitely not because this is the 4th try. No sir. That would be ridiculous (🥲). Something something perfectionist vs self-doubt.

It's been ages since I've attempted to do a proper watercolour, and drawing faces is really not my strong suit. So this was A Challenge. But I was determined to post it anyways, if anything to see some future progress.

Is it good? Not really. Could be worse? SO MUCH WORSE. The previous three (3) are appaling and shall never see the light of day.

"The Apparitions", oil on board.

I started this piece a year ago and just completed it last night. I absolutely love painting splishy-splashy-plasticy portraiture with bright colours. There was something so inherently natural about painting this unnatural piece.

The title was also inspired by Sleep Token's song "The Apparition" ❤️💙
