Hi! Your Art Is Wonderful!

some early series Lannisters

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

I dreamt of a maid at a feast, with purple serpents in her hair

Everytime you post new art i have to look through the old ones again and god!! I notice little details everytime and it's just so good. Anyways I hope you have a nice day

tysm!! that is very kind :) there are drawings I don’t like as much anymore but overall I have had sm fun drawing asoiaf stuff and there are a lot that i DO like which is a win for me 💪 and I feel like I have barely scratched the surface of all there is to draw in the books

a knight and his lady

coming out as a ser davos seaworth enjoyer. I just think he’s neat…

I know his clothing is a little fancier than he usually wears but oh well! special treat.

I would destroy to see some standalone art of Jon Snow (if you want)- your art style is so beautiful.

I WILL! >:) I actually already had a wip going but literally just last night I discovered some art of him that was uncannily similar… so I’m scrapping and starting over for the sake of not looking like I copied the other artist </3 but rest assured he will show up eventually

Thanks to @ancientoctagon for tagging me :)

Last song: Rosa — Grimes

Last show: I finally watched House of the Dragon. It was okay that’s my review

Currently watching: nothing... I’m terrible at keeping up w shows

Currently reading: Heretics of Dune by Frank Herbert  (I put it on hold when I started asoiaf so I’m just now getting back to it)

Current obsession: hmhmmh.... I have been messing around in blender a bit for fun. I am not very good at it <3

The sketchy texture of your work is weirdly calming. I think it’s the subtle hint of that nostalgic pencil feel. I think it adds to the atmosphere a lot!

thank you!! the texture I use came a bit out of necessity :) I found with softer, more precise brushes I was focusing way too much on tiny, hardly visible details and really missing the forest for the trees.

YOUR ART IS AWESOME!!! I love seeing some book inspired designs!! like dude this might be my fav account i've found on here!!

thank you!! I am extremely late to books and fandom I think but regardless grrm cannot stop me from getting my grimy hands on his characters
