Saint Esther, First Saint Of The Many Below Wound Tree

one last offering for me from the water. one final trick. my brother is following me downriver just as I asked him to.

i saw a sculpture by rodin called brother and sister and it inspired me :3 speedpaint here, inspo below cut

this is the sculpture !! i saw the name and immediately thought of Them because my brain is full of silt. carpenter's pose, clothing, hair and colouring, is evocative of nana glass in this portrait i did for her

I saw a post where someone essentially said “baby Elrond or Elros with glowing eyes floating ominously in the doorway saying dads I threw up” but I can’t find it anymore so if anyone knows who made the post let me know so I can credit them!

* the OP is @thesummerestsolstice !!!

happy sibling rane saturday! soup

sister carpenter and the gods who just won’t leave her alone

lyrics from nobody’s soldier by hozier

But either way I become a vessel - for your purposes or for theirs.

alex from the siltcord suggested supposed relics of the promised bride being passed around the parish and i kinda latched onto the idea !! couple notes + timelapse below the cut :]

this is HEAVILY inspired by the skull of mary magdalene, which is mounted in a statue

the dress is inspired by celtic dress

the patterns on the armbands are the same as the patterns on roemont's robes, since they're a basic traditional pattern in the parish

her cape clasp has a tessalated fishhook pattern

one of her eyes is growing out on a stalk :]

the way her body is portrayed as changing is very much the same as how i draw stanton's body changing

i really like the timelapse because you get to watch my thought process in her transformation and it kinda looks like she's transforming in real time :D

by popular demand, here is episode 21's love saint !! speedpaint is here !!

happy sibling rane saturday!

I picked a pigeon for sibling rane because in urban environments up to 80% of peregrine falcons diet is made up of pigeons

limited palette amrod and amras
