You were reflecting light Shadows cast away my sight Float my wake through days and night Past the moon, the stars that cried I know the truth lies in between the first and the fortieth drink ——

Full version HERE!

Of all the paintings I’ve done of the human kids in Homestuck, this one took by far the longest amount of time to paint, from beginning to end. Word to the wise: Don’t use black and gold metallic watercolor in combination unless you’re really sure what you’re going to do with them, because they will fuck everything up, guaranteed. I’d originally planned to paint Roxy drowning in a giant cosmic martini glass or some such thing, but I changed my mind. Why? Because Roxy is more than just her drinking problem, which we’ve seen proven countless times and in increasing frequency with each update. What I find the most fascinating about her is her connection to Calliope, and how Caliborn’s awakening seems to have made the distance between them almost impossibly vast. I really hope she finds a way to bring the poor girl back from the void. The colour scheme and visuals are the result of watching Aronofsky’s The Fountain more times than is reasonable. Pencil, watercolors, minimal Copics and calligraphy ink on hot press Arches watercolor paper.

I’ll ink it later, but I thought we all needed a Strider-Pyrope reunion for the latest update. They’re all going to be best bros. I’m sure of it.

People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that’s what everyone wants. But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that is holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life. A true soul mate is probably the most important person you’ll ever meet, because they’ll tear down your walls and smack you awake.
