trying to try @courteous-otter - Tumblr Blog

Hey so I saw you gave permission to print out your fanart for personal use, and that you'd like a picture if we do. Well may I present this beauty that now lives on the wall in my bedroom.

(Sorry for the weird angle, I was trying so hard to avoid shadows and glare)

My husband does not understand the appeal of Animal Kingdom or Shawn Hatosy, but he agreed that this was amazing fanart btw.

This is seriously one of my favorite pieces of fanart I've ever seen, so thank you for the permission to print it! I'm so happy to have it on my wall!

AWGHH this is so cool, thank you for sending me this 😭 to know it's somewhere out there, hanging on someone's wall... AW! i'm so happy you like it! 🥹

i can’t stop looking at your version of cabanel with pope

it is so pretty, i want to get it tattooed on me

that would be one hell of a huge tattoo 😳 i personally have stared at it for so long that it's now forever seared into the back of my eyelids, though i'm not entirely sure that counts as a tattoo

Omggggg I know you’re probably being spammed about it, but I couldn’t not message.

Your recent Pope art* is absolutely amazing! I want it printed on a massive canvas and hung in my house!

I can’t overstate how insanely talented you are!!! It belongs in a museum!!!!!

*all your work is stunning, but damn this one really blew me away

thank youuuu! i was really trying to draw something i'd want to see on my own wall, but i've spent so much time looking at it while drawing that now i think need some space from it lol but i'm very very happy the "i want this on my wall" vibe is still there! 😌

Hi there - your Pope piece is life-alteringly beautiful, I haven't changed my profile picture (or theme) in easily 11 or 12 years but would you be okay with me using it to do so? Thank you again for making it, made my whole week.

AWH, SURE, go ahead! makes me feel happy and kinda special, 11 years is a whole lot of years, damn 😳

Just so you know that it’s now my phone’s lockscreen 🥹 this is the most beautiful artwork I’ve ever seen and I’m in awe of it every time I pick my phone up.

Someone said that Michelangelo himself would have been proud and yes, most definitely.

It’s funny because the art cover that I chose for my story Redamancy who is about Andrew was the original painting so I really made a double take the first time I saw it 👀

Thank you for sharing your passion, your art and have a wonderful day, I hope your pillow is fresh on both sides 🫶

awwwh this is so cool 😭 looks like this painting really does fit his character, and it's interesting that so many people see it!

thank you so much, I’m glad you liked it! and have a great day as well 😌

holy cow dude you're so talented!!! i saw your pope cody art and got curious and genuinely became awed looking at your profile. your art is super expressive. like i can feel how much love u put into every piece. i hope u keep on finding new things to be inspired by :)

thank you so much 🥹 i definitely will, but for now i think i’m plenty inspired by Shawn Hatosy, at LEAST for the rest of the year lol i have so many ideas--

Sooooo would you ever sell the immaculate pope portrait as a print? 👉👈

i won’t be selling anything BUT whoever wants to can print it out for themselves! This is highly encouraged, actually, lol, it makes me UNBELIEVABLY happy seeing that people would want something that i created in their real actual space, omg!!

i know it’s more of a bother to deal with that yourself as opposed to just receiving a print in the mail, but if anyone does it, please, consider showing me how it turns out, that would literally make my whole week 🙏

i think the version that i have on twitter is twice as big as the one here – 2048x1134 vs 4037x2235 (although i thought tumblr allows bigger filesizes, so idk how that happened). So if anyone wants the bigger one you can find it there @courteous_otter (underscore instead of hyphen)

and thank you for asking, i'm happy someone's interested 🥹

Literally have no words for that pope art you did. Went here to compliment it but it literally got me speechless

You'd be Michaelangelos prodigy a few hundred years ago I want to kiss you op. Never stop doing art

AWWW thank you so much for this 😭 i really didn’t plan on it being so big and complicated and it was a HUGE challenge, but i’m so glad so many people liked it and that i managed to make someone feel something with it!

i enjoyed trying to make it emotional and want to try doing it again with other things, for sure!

thank you for the nice words, it really really motivates me 😭🧡

details! 👀
