Oc Commission By @shripscapi 💜

I just finished a big revision of Compromise Chapter 10, which means I should only need to do a round or two of proofreading before posting. 🥳

To celebrate (and to thank my readers and followers for their patience), here is a wonderful portrait of the Velargirls by Liesl / @shripscapi 🥰

Liesl was great to work with! She aced all the little details that I asked for:

Velargirls’ eye color, especially Jace’s Tyroshi / Tyrian purple.

Jewelry! All the jewelry! Sunfyre pendant, dragonglass tension ring, rubies like blood drops in Joff’s hair.🩸

Joff’s creepy AF book cover.

Sapphire blue yarn!

Luce’s gloriously curly and perpetually untidy hair. And her silver hair net!

All the pretty ornamentation on Jace’s gown. It’s easier to see on the individual portrait version I have for each of the girls, but her sleeves are soooo luxurious and lacy.

I also think you can feel each girl’s personality coming through the portrait. Jace is taking it the most seriously with her classic pose and “just a little smile but not too much of a smile” expression.

Luce is having fun but probably arguing with the painter, “What do you mean I can’t show teeth? Also I am going to lean on this table, because it gets tiring standing in this pose.”

And then there’s Joff, who doesn’t want to be here. But Rhaenys and Rhaenyra really want a nice portrait of all the girls, so she’ll put up with the ordeal.

10000/10 would recommend working with Liesl. Definitely check out her other ASOIAF art!

Hi, I found your lovely art via searching for Earthsea content. I adore your representations of Ged and Tenar :) I was wondering if you use any other platforms for posting your art, like Instagram or Cara, etc? I don't use Tumblr enough anymore, but would love to follow your work more consistently elsewhere. Cheers!

hello! I have an ig (same user) but nothing else. I have no desire to make any new accounts on any new platforms so I am just a musician on the titanic until one or both of the sites disappear

the frogeaters 🌿

Throws up

AYEE LOOK AT THE MESS U MADE IN MY INBOX!

If your art requests are still open, will you be willing to draw sansa and bran together. i never see fan content together even when both of are represented by birds (raven and dove)

I wasn’t actually planning on drawing full pieces for requests, but this one interested me so I went ahead and did it anyways !

is there a place where you can go read lucia Lore and Info or is it just her tag?

I have a post here with a broad strokes overview with everyone (she’s towards the bottom). some parts of it need to be revisited bc i’ve been adjusting structural details but the general roles played are still accurate I think

otherwise I haven’t talked abt her that much publicly besides the occasional talking in the tags on my sketches. mostly bc I’m not a very good writer lol.

I don’t usually share my oc stuff on tumblr but I like this one and I worked hard on it so I am going to anyways <3

follow up question regarding fashion inspo-- do you happen to have a pinterest board or know of other places to look for non tudor fashion that you could link? my own search has been pretty fruitless. also rly love how you draw and render fabric!! ty for ur insight and thoughts :]

thank you! this is a pretty broad question so I'm not sure that I can give the most helpful answer but I find this timeline by the FIT to be a nice, quick visual guide for period trends. Unfortunately it primarily focuses on the regions of current day England, France, and Italy, so no Rus fashions to be found there, but you can poke around pre (and post, if you like) Tudor period/outside of england to see what late medieval and early modern people were wearing as depicted in art of the time.

Rus fashions are harder to dig up and I don't have great advice there... Resources in english kind of suck but you kind of just have to scour... I try not to get too hung up on accuracy for asoiaf stuff, since at the end of the day I'm combining a bunch of different styles that I like into a fantasy setting, so I'll take pieces from bilibin illustrations, or period shows, or whatever other crumbs I can find.

unfortunately I don't have the most organized process but hopefully that is somewhat helpful!

Could you draw Patchface please? Your art is incredible and I think he’s the scariest character in asoiaf 😵‍💫

SUCH an excellent suggestion.. drawing patchface hadn’t even crossed my mind but this was a really fun challenge :)

oh, Lucia…

close-ups under the cut :)
