I finally painted the Mireym + Staryk king icy glare contest. Did Naomi Novik know, when she designed a character with white hair, white skin and an all-white outfit, what that would mean in terms of aesthetics? I tried my best to make him mysterious and sexy, but he still ended up looking like a fae version of Mr Clean
I just think they’d be friends
Some quick sketches from the other night, not super refined or anything, but I've been burning through Spinning Silver by @naominovik . I had to just had to do a sketch of these three ladies; whom I love so much.
One day will hopefully get to some Uprooted sketches, but I devoured that book. I just was so in love with the writing and characters, I went straight onto her other book without pausing to doodle.
a book featuring the ethnoreligious aspects of judaism in a fantasy setting? spinning silver has my whole heart
