Of Kings And Curators - Blog Posts

Oh my god it’s done.

So been on a fanart-for-fanfic kind of kick and this one is inspired by/for @steelestingray‘s Of Kings and Curators! It’s been really refreshing just making things for things I like versus worrying about monetizing, cons and the like. I really enjoyed the mental image of Laurent having an aura that goes between gold and blush and blue and wanted to play around with it (the blue, I could lie and say was deliberate, but my brush flicked some ink. I just shrugged and went with it.)

I still feel like Laurent came out looking like a J Crew/LL Bean model mixed with a history T.A. with the sweater-vest but honestly, I’m glad I stuck with it.

Detail shot from the salt wash because I told myself I wouldn’t, but I have the impulse control of a toddler.

Graphite (2H and 2B,) watercolor (Daniel Smith,) Liquitex Iridescent Gold ink, and Pilot Iroshizuku inks in Kon-peki (Cerulean Blue) and Syoro (Dew on Pine Tree/a really lovely blue-green.)
