Funguary - Week 4: Caesar's Mushrooms (Amanita caesarea)

🍄 in Italian is called good egg (ovolo buono);

🍄 that's why I made her with a design similar to the fly agaric (evil egg);

🍄 When I saw that picture, I immediately thought to recreate it with this design! I also took the opportunity to try to make a more or less realistic background.

Funguary week 4: Caesar's mushroom

this is the smoothest mushroom I've ever seen

Yeah, also watercolor, and also I wrote the wrong week.

BTW, thanks to pinterest for the inspo, it's fun to see different clothing patterns, and then adapting it to your will.

Funguary, Day 28 - Caesar's Mushroom 🍄

Obviously, I wanted to do re-enactment of Julius Caesar's assassination on the Ides of March, but with Caesar's mushrooms and as an irreverent shitpost, and this is what I ended up drawing! Most of the drawing was done in a silly low effort cartoon style, except the bust of Pompey the Great as a mushroom bc I thought it was funnier that way lol The entire drawing was sketched out using the Faber-Castell Polychromos coloured pencil in dark red, and then almost everything except Caesar himself and the blood was coloured using more coloured pencils; the Pompey just got the most realistic lighting and shading for the absurdity; the Caesar mushroom was coloured using Copic Ciao markers, with additional shading using coloured pencils, and gold details added using the Staedler brush pen, Uni-ball Signo gel pen, and Sarasa gel pen, though the metallic shininess is lost in the photograph; the blood was done using two red Copic Ciao markers and a lot of colourless blender to get the watery effect. Anyway, I had a lot of fun with this art challenge, especially in terms of challenging myself to try different art styles and media, and it's the second month-long challenge I have completed since returning to doing art, so that's great!
