I really like the detail of the thorny vine wrapping around Lucia’s ankle in your new piece!! I know u said she’s shoeless bc u didn’t want to draw shoes but!!! One could argue her stockinged feet being exposed could represent her leaving herself vulnerable to hurts she thought she was safe from 🤔💭
ah! the shoes I was referencing are actually not lucia’s. they are a specific type that I don’t like and didn’t want to draw andrea in so I just put him in a pair that is technically plausible I think but about stylistically 10 years too modern for the period he’s in. lucia’s feet being bare were intentional for the reasons you suspected :)
“Guards!” he heard the wench shout. “The Kingslayer!”
Jaime, he thought, my name is Jaime.
love your little arya with her fists clenched!!
thank you!! I would love to draw arya again bc I had so much fun w her the first time. currently re-listening to adwd between other books though so not much arya to be found 😔
Dany and her Silver in the Dothraki Sea… (the shallow end at least)
hiii i just wanted to say i love your style and how you draw clothes, it looks so interesting! the lines!! it's so nice!!!
thank youuu I love to draw clothing. stems from my tragic backstory of being determined to stop drawing anime characters with their clothes suctioned to their bodies
oc commission by @shripscapi 💜
hii sorry if i didn't see this but are commissions back up again? ty!!
no they’re not, I’m sorry :(
I deleted the post because I’m not sure when/if I’m going to open them again and if I do I definitely need to adjust prices.
What's up? i wanted to ask you if you’d want to draw bridgerton characters in the future?
I haven’t seen bridgerton and I probably won’t lol. I don’t really care for the regency era.

my gorgeous commission by @shripscapi! take a peek under the cut for the historical references she reworked so beautifully.
i have always maintained targaryen fashion should be byzantine inspired, and that was my request to liesl. she works so brilliantly with historical costuming, and in her portraits of renaissance fashions captures the sense of a contemporary portrait - and that’s what i wanted here, the spirit of a real historical work of art. i sent her two images of mosaics of byzantine empresses, theodora from the basilica of san vitale in ravenna (left) and irene of hugary from the hagia sophia in constantinople (right). both commemorate donations to churches, and the foundation of a religious institution at the height of the realm’s prosperity under jaehaerys and alysanne’s rule and a demonstration of good will between crown and faith after the adoption of the doctrine of exceptionalism is something alysanne as queen consort absolutely might do.
as byzantine empresses reshaped the face of imperial constantinople as patrons of its religious and civic architecture, it is fun to imagine the continuing interactions of the targaryens shaping their capital city. the women are included in wider family groupings - imagine alysanne and alyssa and maegelle etc offscreen - communicating the female face of imperial/royal power. here is saera at 16, on the verge of being brutally discarded as incommensurate with that correct feminine image, as indeed not a few byzantine princesses were. exactly the vibe of a lovely and haunting historical document of a woman’s life in the snare of power i’ve encountered in many a museum or palace that i was going for, which makes the story of saera’s disgrace resonate so strongly.
dude your art deadass makes me feel emotions i usually only find in like, a pretty piece of literature or music like it’s genuinely incredible !!!! pls know your work is so so so appreciated by us asoiaf girlies
