Ouida’s Art Blog

Hi I’m Ouida! I'm nonbinary and queer and use any pronouns. I mostly draw fanart for books I like which rn apparently means lots and lots of Good Omens and queer fantasy and romance novels lol. Also sometimes original stuff and some Doctor Who expanded universe as well. Occasionally suggestive but I only post uncensored 18+ stuff on Ao3 💞 My print shop and Ko-fi are in my pinned posts, and you can dm me for info if you want to pay me to make something or to let me know if you want a print of anything missing from my shop! Main blog: @ouidamforeman 🌿 Ao3: OuidaMForeman

Little art deco illustration of Saul from KJ Charles's Spectred Isle, which is one of my very favorite supernatural/fantasy queer romances. I think about it literally all the time lmao. It's so atmospheric and clever and funny and full of love and mystery and all of the main characters are so darling, especially in the audiobook!!! I was sold on it immediately when like 5 pages in it started talking about spontaneous combustion. idk i could talk about this book forever, every time one of my friends brings it up on discord i experience a category 5 autism event lol

It's set in the 1920s and it feels so art deco to me, like one of those illustrations of the era full of graceful lines and beautiful liminal feeling gardens and forests, so this is partially a redraw/digital collage using an André Édouard Marty illustration which is actually from the 1940s I believe but still felt like the right style. I kept giggling drawing this like ough he's just a little 1920s guy, pleasant as the morning dew, confused, upsetti

Anyway sorry for blorboposting for two paragraphs but you should read this book im normal about it (said while visibly vibrating)

last month i blacked out for 4 hours and painted Stephen Day from KJ Charles's Charm of Magpies books which are a wonderful queer historical fantasy romance series. anyway this asshole is so vivid to me. i told everyone on discord that i wanted him to look angry and malnourished and sickly and to make his freckles as un-cute as possible and everyone enabled me by calling him a perfect angel babygirl who needs a nap and a juice box. the placeholder file name for this painting was "tiny and rotten and bad" and i just never changed it

This is a completely new painting style for me and I also feel like I'm learning how to draw the human form again from scratch lately so pls be nice to me lol

[ouidasart]

H. hello. I still have a backlog of art to post from me learning how to draw a bunch of new characters and practicing how to Paint Good lol

Anyway a fun fact about me is I will read the fucking shit out of a queer historical romance novel so a couple months ago I decided to practice my drafting and digital painting skills by doing some fanart of Daniel da Silva from KJ Charles's Think of England. I need u to understand that all of this author's books are certified bangers that make me feel like I'm high on drugs and you should definitely read them. This one is an Edwardian pulp thriller. It's gay spy romance. I think about it every goddamn day brother

The pose and some of the design of this illustration were redrawn from a 1911 La Vie Parisienne cover by Édouard Touraine so I can't take credit for that but I can take credit for the hand painted wallpaper panels and Daniel's face card djfghjdfhgjdfj

Hello, I certainly haven't been posting for a while 😰But I'm not dead!!! I have things for you!!!

This one has been up on Ao3 for a hot minute but I'm finally getting around to posting it to tumblr. It's a vintage advertisement redraw I did back in December for my dear friend @moveslikebucky during a Good Omens discord holiday exchange! They asked for any historical time period I liked best and I like homoerotic early 20th century advertising lol. The original was a 1921 Hart Schaffner and Marx men's fashion advertisement that I took the base of and redrew and modified, and edited in a tagline from another 20s men's fashion ad to make it cute. I hope u enjoy!!! I will try to add this one to my print shop soon as well, link in my pinned posts 🩷

[ouidasart]

My second Buggre All This server fall exchange gift for hapax, who also asked for historical hats and silly costumes lol

I wanted to make up some 1920s Halloween party outfits for A&C because I'm obsessed with how the men's ones in vintage patterns are just like, a patterned tunic and a silly hat over normal clothes. I wanted to make the illustration look reminiscent of a real vintage pattern ad so I did this one with two color ink washes! I love drawing book boys wooing each other in historical time periods it's my specialty hoohoo

[ouidasart]

One of my paintings from the Buggre All This book omens discord server Halloween gift exchange, for wonderful lovely hapax, who asked for spooky vibes and historical outfits! As soon as I saw this prompt I knew immediately what to do because a few days beforehand I had seen this hilarious Edwardian Halloween card on Pinterest and knew I needed to redraw it as A/C bc I kept giggling every time I saw it lol. I spent a while figuring out how to imitate the look of the original print and I'm really really proud of this one and how it turned out 🧡🖤🧡

[ouidasart]

Little gomens illustration I did to figure out image overlaying in CSP! I love vintage greeting cards and 1920s Halloween costumes🧡 I did this while I was working on some other Halloween paintings for an exchange, which I'll post later, where I had to choose some other vintage costumes for the lads, but I didn't want to pass up my idea for a witch Aziraphale and clown Crowley lol

hallowed be thy ween 😌🧡

We hope you'll join us for our 2nd annual TIS Meetup in the Philadelphia area! Last year we had over 60 Good Omens fans join us, and we've secured space to allow for even more!

If you'll be staying the night Friday (when most folks arrive) or Saturday, you'll want to head to our booking link on the Discord.

Check out the The Ineffable Society community on Discord - hang out with 535 other members and enjoy free voice and text chat.

The Discord is also a great way to get and stay in touch with fellow fans attending and planning the event! You'll learn about what activities we're getting up to, talk cosplay and swag, and a whole lot more.

We also have channels for ALL OVER THE WORLD on The Ineffable Society's server, where fans organize in-person meetups like picnics, camping, museum trips, movie days, etc. With nearly 600 GO fans hanging around, there's a chance something is organizing near you--or that you could be the planner friend you want to see in the world and step up to plan a day in your area!

See you there. :)

ps - If you don't have access to Discord and need the Philly booking link sent to you directly, please DM @seedsofwinter and let them know we sent you!
