I love them in all their forms, in all their versions and sexualities and genders, abandoned by humanity and touch starved or in the arms of their alien, queerplatonic or aroace or aro or ace or romantic or fat or muscly or malnurished or ftm or cis or genderswapped amd of of their ways of being, human-human or human alien or alien alien or alien alien human or alien human almost-human or any of the other ways they go, it's beautiful in all its forms and all it's art styles and all it's writing form and formats, tumblr blocks of writing or poems, or on ao3, whether it's heart wrenching, eyes leaking or hot and heavy or soft and loving or comfortable, whether it's scribbles or shaded, I love them so so much
i love love buying baby clothes and saving them in a little box for when i do have babies in the future ! i also have letters and pictures of me in there- just to reminisce and hopefully my future kids can look through it and know that i have always, always wanted them. 🥹💞
after reading the masterpiece palette by @wri0thesley i was inspired to draw cassian (their oc in the fic) !!!
go read it if you haven't already, it's such a beautiful yet terrifying depiction and still connected with the inner edgy art kid in me <3
details/closeups below the cut :
lowkey had a lot of fun rendering the background gold stuff... esp the flower WHICH SPEAKING OF. LORE DUMP FOR THE ART
i found a victorian book for flower language and used that to pick the design of the background
the flower is supposed to be an eglantine sweetbrier, thinner gold trim has thorns from this because it's a type of wild rose i believe !
little bundle of leaves under it is supposed to be american cudweed, so are the leaves attached to the gold 'vines'
dandelion looking thing in the central crest(?) thing as well as decorating the corners of the doors is angelica
thought that their meanings coincided well with the story and cass' character
aside from that, i tried to make this more painterly almost as an homage to the oil painting cass was doing and admired from the pre-raphaelites and also tried to pay extra attention in rendering the nature like aspects like they did, even though everything here is fake (something something the nature he wants to emulate like the pre-raphaelites ends as a gold mockery because of him)
i imagined this as like cass finding a new muse or someone who interests him, and he's doing the whole kiss on the back of a hand to ask for a dance at a ball or something and his kiss of death quite literally corrupts the muse and stains them.
anyways that's my little overview of how i put this piece together, i do wish i went more painterly with class himself but alas.
lastly, to pip, thank you for somehow always managing to inspire me with your beautiful works <33
