Yeastpanini - Getting This Freshly Baked Bread

Art redraw!

I still like the original though, it has character!

And I still can't do backgrounds it seems 😆

Magnifico was in his YMCA era telling the Young man to get himself off the ground

"Young man"? And you are like 100, First Citizen?

prequels save me

Had to throw this together after being struck with inspiration.

Plushies are alive. They have souls because you love them. This is basic science.

shh he's muleing

I invite you to the senate, what knife you bringing 😏

See you all on the 15th ❤️❤️❤️

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.
