I'm happy to say that Silver family is finally all together 🥹❤️🔥
Yes, this is the awesome project I've been working on for so long — the action figure of Nancy!
Initially, I only had John out of the three of them, but it was breaking my heart to see him all alone. So firstly I bought him his pet — Captain Flint, and then I decided that I simply have to make him his beloved wife. And damn, I'm very happy with how she turned out. I'll brag that when I was studying at the art school, I was the best in my group in sculpture classes and the teacher even told me to quit my silly drawings and take up sculpturing seriously 😅
About materials: I used sculpting clay, acrylic paints and two types of varnish. By the way, for some reason some people consider Nan to be my original character, but this is not true. She is there in the book, so Sir Stevenson owns all the rights to her. I just came up with the design and the name :>
And when I have some free time and be in the right mood, I'll show you my entire «Treasure Island» action figures collection!
I'm here again to show my new artwork, drawn as part of an arttrade with the wonderful friend of mine — Aida @bagheerasun 🤗
Many thanks to her for the offer to trade and for her patience. I hope you like the art! It was very pleasant and interesting for me to draw the wonderful Fuchs and Luna ❤️
I started this art quite a while ago and finally finished it! Doctor and Captain are without their wigs here, it was very interesting to draw. I just adore this moment at the beginning of the book, where Jim is surprised by how Doctor's black hair and eyes contrast with his snow-white wig 😍
By the way, I was inspired to finish this work by my lovely friend Nastya, SmolLivesey is our favorite ship ❤️🔥
And also today is Nastya's birthday, so I congratulate her heartily and dedicate this artwork to her! 🥳🎉
I adore these two with all my heart, so I drew a collage where I put together their looks from different movie-adaptations. I would like to collect all the variations in one drawing, but there are some difficulties.
Firstly, not all movie-adaptations feature Black Dog in them, so they are not included here. Though, you know me, I’ll develop the missing designs myself and draw too heheh
Secondly, I simply haven’t seen all the movie-adaptations yet. I mean, there are a lot of different ones! I've watched 12 so far :]
Well, and thirdly, the space on the paper is not endless. Some movie-adaptations were watched by me, when the work was already in progress. I'll draw the rest of Billy's and Dog's designs and then will put everything together too. There will be such a collage of collages 😁
So, specifically here we have:
• “Планетата на Съкровищата” (“Treasure Planet”), Bulgaria, 1982 (upper left corner)
• “Остров Сокровищ” (“Treasure Island”), USSR, 1982 (lower left corner)
Yes, I drew this lovely couple again — John and Nan 🥺🫶🏻
And this time I worked in a completely unusual technique for me! The idea to experiment some came up spontaneously. Initially, it was just a sketch on paper without any particular idea (just cute Mr. and Mrs. Silver, nothing too special), but suddenly I decided to cover it with color right on top in digital. It turned out nice and I decided to go on and experiment also with the light. I chose the backlight from the sunset (it's a romantic picture, after all 😉💞)
And yeah, the most important thing: I certainly based on the original sketch, but still painted the whole artwork with color splashes! And the lineart was the final stage. Usually, it's exactly the opposite. It was a super interesting experience and, so to speak, challenging. I am very happy with the result ❤️🔥
P.S. I LOVE this song. While I was drawing this art, I was listening to it on repeat, because, in my opinion, it PERFECTLY suits John Silver both in the meaning of the lyrics, and in the general vibe, and even in the marine theme. So, you can consider this drawing with my beloved pirate and his wonderful wife my full-fledged illustration for this awesome track 🥹❤️
(Too bad I didn't find the translation of the lyrics into English... So, I guess I will be translating it myself. When I'll be done, I'll update the post!)
Upd: Translation done! Though I'm totally not a pro in poetic translation, I tried my best to make it sound in the same rhythm and have rhymes too. And plus the lyrics are almost word-for-word accurate to the original. So, it turned out quite good imo, I managed to find the balance. Enjoy!~
Invited you out — already good
All places are closed, nowhere to stay
I don't really care, I am here in this crowd
All by myself and I look very proud
I'm going to you by the water
I'm filling the bottle, replacing with wine
I'm going to you by the water
I'm bitting bread loaf up, washing down with the wine
I'm going to you by the water
Invite you in — well, it is so...
Scary, of course, but for me so important
Where a kiss turns into a sign
At The Last Supper, on the Bridge, on he Cross
I'm going to you by the water
I'm filling the bottle, replacing a little
I'm going to you by the water
I'm bitting bread loaf up, washing down with the wine
I am now married to a wave
And as long ago I'm again little worried
I'm going to see my wife
I'm bitting my lips up, washing down with the wine
I drew this mini-comic with Bernie and Bryce in my comic-style a long time ago, but I can't help but share it today, because I love Valentine's Day! Especially since I haven't posted anything for quite long due to work and being busy overall. I have many artwork in progress right now, I hope I can show 'em soon. Love you all 🫶🏻
