The Loud One

Hello, my name is Liliana, and I draw a lot of fan art, mostly for video games I play. Mostly DanganRonpa, Persona, Fire Emblem, Pokemon. 23 years old, Animator *WARNING* This blog is a mess!

we really devolved as a society when we stopped using fully painted pictures on romance novels and started using cheap photoshop instead 

[bcnnibeau-deactivated20200330]

case in point

this is a Hell of a downgrade 

[garbage-empress]

worst crime capitalism ever committed was eliminating Horny Oil Painter as a viable career option.

I went down a rabbit hole this summer researching romance novel covers and painting fanart in this style and

this is an EXTREMELY fun style to work in, and also

many of the most iconic romance novel covers you’re probably picturing when you think “classic painted romance novel cover” were produced by one prolific, masterful artist

Her name was Elaine Duillo, and she had a long and extremely productive career spanning from the mid 60’s to her retirement in 2003. She worked mainly in acrylics.

She did illustration work in other genres as well, but she really found her niche in romance novels. She pretty much redefined the aesthetic conventions of the genre, popularizing male models and male nudity and sexualizing men to cater to the female gaze in a way that simply wasn’t the norm before her work. You know Fabio? she’s the one who started using him as a model, and essentially launched his career. And honestly, just look at her work:

magnificent

Wait shit, she retired in 2003? I think that’s exactly when I started seeing shitty photoshops on all the new romance novel covers.

She was literally carrying the entire industry single-handed and then they just did not replace her.

this post just cant be on its own. it needs the accompanying pic “when you’re level 80” that is exactly the same image, but the stick has glowing runes on it and the crabs are purple

kakashi spontaneously wakes up at 3 am and decides to sit on the supermarket roof and read porn until just before the sun comes up. sasuke wakes up at 6 am and decides he needs to buy tomatoes and thinks the grocery store should be open and they both spot each other, two complete weirdos

[1rakus]

gai and lee go out for early morning runs and see both of them like "our competition is also at it this early in the morning.... as is fitting for geniuses of their caliber" but sasuke is just silently throwing pebbles at kakashi from the sidewalk
