hiii your art is so delicious!!! im sorry if youve answered this already but what references do you use for clothing? all of the clothing you draw looks so detailed and accurate. could you give some pointers?

hello I procrastinated answering this bc I don’t feel like I have a very good one but I will try! I am assuming this means accurate as in fabric draping and such and not “historically accurate” bc the clothes I draw are definitely not historically accurate….

basically… scour for references. when you’re making up an outfit it’s very difficult to accurately imagine the way fabric drapes (at least for me) so most of the clothing I draw is a patchwork of several different references. not necessarily even good references. sometimes a cheap modern blouse has the right flowy sleeves and the correct angle of an arm to copy the folds for a completely different garment. look for images with similar fabric weights and textures and frankenstein them together and you can convincingly lay out folds and drapes for a nonexistent piece of clothing.

sorry if that is not very helpful! I don’t feel like any part of my process is that well suited to giving advice U_U

ppl keep talking about the hands on this one so I am going to let you in on a secret: I just took a picture of my own hands as reference. you, too, can do this to make your life easier… <3

The queen wore a high-collared black silk gown, with a hundred dark red rubies sewn into her bodice, covering her from neck to bosom. They were cut in the shape of teardrops, as if the queen were weeping blood.

Who are you?

tommen is going to be FINE. don’t even worry.

they need to turn off the blaze feature for me personally bc I’m always paranoid I’m going to accidentally click it and accidentally enter my card details and accidentally pay $40 to blaze my fanart to the rest of tumblr and get cyber bullied

do you have commissions?

I don’t I’m sorry :( I used to but I found that monetizing my art really took the fun out of it so I prefer to keep it as a hobby.

The Weeping Bride — Portrait of Emmeline Albrion by a well-known painter, 140 A.G.

The union of Lady Emmeline Albrion, heiress of Lion's Gate, and Lord Cerhir Beithir, Lord of Edina, sealed the long-awaited pact between their houses. This alliance was forged in the aftermath of their loyalty to King Alfons II during the war against his elder brother, King Philip I. Yet, despite the political triumph, the marriage was anything but happy. Lady Emmeline’s sorrow was evident, for in every portrait painted after her wedding, not once was she seen smiling.

Emmeline is a character created by me and lives in the original setting Artesia. You can read more about Emmeline here

time for my regularly scheduled cersei redraw

this was mostly a chance for me to try and nail down the look I want to go for with womenswear in westeros. i’ve been wildly inconsistent up to this point because tbh I much prefer drawing menswear... but I want to draw a certain someone else in a dress so this was my practice >:)
