There are so many ways to make moodboards, bookcovers, and icons without plagiarizing! As artists, authors, and other creatives, we need to be especially careful not to use someone else’s work and pass it off as our own.
Please add on if you know any more resources for free images <3
After months of vanishing I now feel like posting again. Have a dump post of my most precious son.
Sometimes I think about using my art tablet to actually colour stuff. But then I forget it exists with my sole braincell being too busy procrastinating on drawing at all.

Finally, a troll who isn't a clown. Behold: His royal assness. Yet to be named, though.
Miku by Johannes Vermeer This paintings similarity to Vermeer's most iconic piece- The Girl with The Pearl Earring cannot be denied. Though I am sincerely impressed by the rendering given to the face and the accuracy in her hair tone. There is a vague impression of her chunky hair ties too, which is nice to see. [8/10]
Miku by Sandro Botticelli The frame of this is interesting- unlike what I would see typically associated with Botticelli. It bares a superficial resemblance to Botticelli's body of work- however it bares a massive resemblance to Miku, the twin tails are accounted for and she is even gifted a beautiful headpiece with decorative wings. This depiction is almost saint-like. Points lost for the most fucked up eyes and salad fingers I have seen in my days. [5/10]
Miku by Caraviggo A beautiful combination of Caraviggo's most iconic rich tones and dark atmosphere. There is something deeply interesting to me about this helmet she wears- something intensely modern and robotic whilst maintaining harmony with her comfortable and classic robes. Both twin tails are accounted for- major points. [9/10]
Miku by Elisabeth Louise Vigee Le Brun Madame Le Brun's most iconic subject matters are the French elite and that fashion period pierces through this depiction. Miku appears content yet contemplative. Her hair reflects the envy of the time with big whisps of soft light hair and neatly arranged ringlets. Miku's signature tones pop against the warm complimentary hues- truly one of Madame Le Bruns greatest contributions. [9/10]
Miku by Gustav Klimt Klimt's playful relationship with the unreal is displayed here- maybe even in a way unconventional to Klimt. Miku's chest and arms are eaten by a great thicket of her turquoise hair. She is framed by the ornate speckling iconic to Klimt's body of work- contrasted effectively with the dark tones, with the eye drawn into the subject by an unstable halo of light- dancing into the background like an oil spill. The tone reminds me immensely of Mrs Pumpkin's Comical Dream by Hachi-P. This might have been a [6/10] due to inaccuracy but I am quite fond of it so im bumping it up to a [7/10].
Miku by William-Adolphe Bouguereau Known for portraying mythological scenes and biblical lore Bouguereau is no stranger to realisms true bond with the magical and the romantic- shown here in wonderful technicolour. A modern film over the subject that conveys Miku's true contemporary nature as well as a scene and rendering that display a classical knowledge of the arts. The clothing is undeniably modern whilst cutting her futuristic earpieces with the shape of a nuns habit. A true display of the complete deity status she maintains in the modern creative world. [10/10] A true gesamtkunstwerk.
Miku by Simonetta Vespucci This is really quite upsetting. I wish I had not seen it to be quite frank. This is not Vespucci and this is CERTAINLY not Miku. Im very scared. [-3/10]
Lmao @ Automattic deciding to sunset Tumblr when all they ever did was make choices that negatively affected the userbase. Like, you did this to yourselves and it's embarrassing
