I DIGITALIZED The Sketch I Did

So, do you remember that art poll, a couple months ago, where you asked to see a Greek pottery-style Dors?

Well, here she finally is!

(Some commentary under the cut. Feel free to skip, but if you like the drawing please like, leave a comment or reblog! It means the world to me 💓)

Well, after almost ten hours of work... here it is! My aim was to only use black and red/ocre-ish color used in Ancient Greek pottery, which turned out for what is basically a second attempt! In terms of drawing style though, I steered towards another direction and, for the pose and clothes, I drew inspiration from a 1797 painting of Clio, the Muse of History. This reference just seemed fair to me: after all, Dors being a historian is one of her most prominent character traits, and a lovely one at that. The Muse's traditional attributes of tablet and stylus, pictured in the reference portrait, fit her character so I decided to keep them. The laurel crown was also referenced from the painting and, although it's not traditional, I kept it mostly because I associate Dors with leaf and/or flower patterns. After all, she's the Gift of Spring! I also decided to give one of her drapes a striped pattern, to recall her nickname, "The Tiger Woman". Last but not least, I decided to play around with shadows a bit, mostly on the draperies. Certainly not something you can find on pottery, but nevertheless a nice touch.

Congrats if you've made it so far! I hope you've enjoyed this piece, and I'd love to hear your thoughts about it.

White is Earth clouds, pink is aurora, blue is the Sun in a specific wavelength, brown is Jupiter clouds, black is the Hubble deep field, red is the top of sprites, orange is a Mars crater, yellow is the surface of Io, green is a lake with algae, blue is Neptune, and purple is the Crab Nebula in a specific wavelength.

i really believe that discussing the character with someone who shares ur interpretation is the closest u can get to modern day philosophy. we are like plato and aristotle but talking about a fictional guys trauma

“Asimov's male protagonists are very tall" factoid is actually just a statistical error. The average Asimov male protagonist is of average height. Golan Trevize, who's 1.85 m tall and wears heels, is an outlier and should not have been counted

Smth I’m working on

I am consuming a media and you are going to hear about it

I've recently watched RGU and I wanted to draw a Little something, so I thought that Drawing this duo as a detective duo would have been very fun. I also wanted It to look like something out of an illustrated book so It took a while but I'm really satisfied with the result!
