a screenshot study painting for @wisteriaphyte! find the original gpose here! what drew me to paint this was the framing and romanticism of the piece... it's straight out of a storybook ToT
with this series, you might notice that I rarely paint exactly what's there. I add or remove things from the composition to express the feeling that the piece creates in me, or the effect that I think the gposer intended to create. this one has a very nostalgic palette.
next up in the valentine's day batch, @/archivereliq 's super soft lala ship!!! i just absolutely love the pose on this one, they're just so unbelievably sweet ;AOEIRGA;OI thank you so much again for commissioning me and happy valentine's day!! ˉ̞̭(′͈∨‵͈♡)˄̻ ̊
@reconditerune made this custom job stone for my characters Burakh and Vira!
It's such an incredible feeling to see it rendered like this. I could stare at the little details forever, I want to pick up that stone and keep it in my pocket...
Design explanation under the cut:
Burakh and Vira are two shards of the same Azem. For whatever reason, their lives led them to each other, as unlikely as that might seem.
The lucky coin has the cardinal directions North, South, East and West inscribed on it; offset to sit at the diagonals in relation to the center, unlike regular lucky coins. It is held to the blue tiger's eye tightly with strings of red and green.
The red string and gold bead, one half of the strings of fate, represents Burakh's goldsmith father Haru.
The green string and ketupat amulet, the other half of the strings of fate, represents Burakh's blacksmith father Kyousuke.
The tiger's eye stone represents Vira and their captain Solveig; the courage and stripes of tigers. In my tongue, we have a saying that tigers leave their stripes when they die, and men leave their deeds. Both Vira and Solveig never knew a 'home', and in Solveig's case, lost everything to protect the hope of a better future.
Both ends of the strings are burning, and it looks like the 'compass' is falling or flying through the air. I wanted the burning ends to represent a personal disconnect I feel between my cultural heritage and the tenuous hold I have on that aspect of identity. The whole compass exists in the midst of chaos; yet, no matter how fragile, the sense of inner balance with all its elements 'holding' it together, is what allows the wielder to chart a sure course.
Equilibrium. Lots of lion dance stunts are super dangerous, but when you trust each other (lion head, lion tail, drum, gong, cymbals) you can jump across any gap, and have a firm grip despite real danger.
Thank you again @reconditerune and @archaiclumina this is such an incredible honor!
Honestly hadn't worked on one with so much though put into it, and it was just lovely to see how much effort, care and thought you put into things. Thanks for giving me a chance to learn a bit about your culture and blorbos, @lynxden! This was also really fun to draw and good practice!
