both versions of my attack for @thecorycrow on artfight (sorry again for the reupload :') )

[thecorycrow]

Thank you again so much for drawing her! These turned out so great, I love it!

Prince Baelor & Prince Maekar

Finally done!

Baelor, the sun, the moonflower. Maekar, the moon, the sunflower. Sunflowers always face the sun basking in its light, and moonflowers bloom in moonlight.

In some cultures, sunflowers symbolise courage. They also mean loyalty.

Moonflowers symbolise transition and new beginnings. They also symbolise dreams, intuition, the subconscious mind, and sometimes revelation of hidden truths.

Funfact: In traditional medicine, moonflowers have been used to treat a variety of conditions, including headaches ((:

This scene is what inspired this piece:

Own Me

We continue to fight artblock by trying fun things with format and textures! I've been looking up at posters and different designs over the week and I wanted to try it out, with my personal twist.

Here's the lad (Cassian), ready for Artfight!

Remnants Podcast Fanart

“There stood my God before me / Do you know what they said? / That the road that leads to nowhere is long / And that those who seek to go there are lost / The guiding lights, they lead you on / And the road that leads to nowhere is long“

(Guiding Lights, Ghost)

Is there a better thing than being able to combine two fandoms you love? While I worked on this, the band Ghost released their new album ‘Skeletá‘ and I think the song Guiding Lights fits Sir and Apprentice very well (Excelsis too).

My goal with this piece was to include all the remnants that have been processed so far, with the moths and the torn out pages being parts of Sir and Apprentice respectively. Although it took me ages finishing this, I had fun in doing so. I hope you like it (:

Anyway, listen to Remnants Podcast it‘s amazing

Bonus under the cut: Sir and Apprentice without the remnants; just the remnants

[thecorycrow]

So the people know you have given them everything. And you have nothing left to give.

The moment your promotion feels like you've been kicked out of the company even though you are the boss now.

[thecorycrow]

This is going to take me ages, I just know it. Might redesign the Apprentice. Sir and the Apprentice‘s looks are so fluid in my head, they are hard to put down. At least Sir seems to be a ever changing being so that’s a great excuse to draw him differently everytime.

Also, something something about leather pocket book > Edward Pocket > Edwin‘s first persona/page > the Apprentice seeing himself as torn out pages.

[thecorycrow]

UPDATE

He looks as tired as I feel.

I haven’t abandoned this, I’m just slow.

[thecorycrow]

Every time I enter the flat colour stage I am trusting the process so hard that my trust issues are shaking in their boots.

APPRENTICE: You- you're a monster SIR: Yes.

(Remnants Episode 11 "Torn Out Pages")

SIR: Fitting, either way, that you should call me a moth. Fitting that I should be one.

(Remnants Episode 29 "Moths")

This is one of my ideas for Sir of the Audio Drama 'Remnants' by Eira Major. I chose the Deaths-Head Hawk-Moth as inspiration for Sir mostly because of its name. If I recall correctly, the Apprentice also called Sir an endless nightsky (and beautiful). I might try and come up with more designs (granted I don't lose my motivation).

Anyway, go listen to Remnants, it's awesome.

Can you hear Rome cheer your name? (An end of Gladiator Lupicinus)

That's the end his mother feared. That she would lose him in his duty to Rome like his father (who was a general and fell during a conquest). This is not how I imagine his end, but it illustrates a possibility of what could have happened.

Funfacts:

the colour palette I used for her tunic is the one for his eyes

the cloak she wears is his; it's the one from when he posed as Mars, which he was allowed to keep

[thecorycrow]

Marcus Valerius Marinus, also known as the gladiator 'Lupicinus', sitting in the sun on a short chaise lounge with red upholstery and a golden frame, half wearing a black tunic with golden embroidery.

Neither of us can refuse the emperors' wishes, and thus, another artwork was created. He slowly becomes one of my favourite muses; and he certainly doesn't mind lounging in the sun.

[thecorycrow]

Marcus Valerius Marinus, the gladiator known as Lupicinus, posing as the God Mars by the wishes of the twin Emperors Caracalla and Geta.

Marcus Valerius Marinus is an OC who came to be after I've watched Gladiator II. He earned his cognomen Lupicinus in the arena after becoming a 'fan favourite' very fast.

As some used to do, he sold himself into the profession as a gladiator. Due to his rise in popularity and his extensive skills as both warrior and entertainer, he got purchased by the emperors Geta and Caracalla and now belongs to them - interestingly enough he could have bought himself free three times over if he'd wanted to but didn't. As 'reward' he is generally treated like a free man.

He usually wears red as tribute to the God Mars. It was quickly recognised that the vast population of Rome liked the symbolism between Lupicinus and their God, and thus, he (and the emperors) played into it. Well, that's how that artwork above came to be (or maybe the emperors were just bored).

The information on the second illustration is from Wikipedia.
