I love your latest yen piece!! Would you describe your inspo/symbolism of it?

the most beautiful question ever to me of course <33

off the bat I didn't have much of a plan for this one, I just wanted to paint quite a simple portrait to get me back on my feet since I haven't painted or drawn in a while. Rossetti's the queen of hearts was my main inspiration for this when it came to pose/composition and feel, making my art feel and look as much pre raphaelite as I can is always what I strive for. here's my inspo board and first sketch/lines

I got obsessed with the image of the taxidermied bird as necklace/jewelry, and I thought it'd fit yen so so well, the original piece up there was done by Julia DeVille and her website is full of wondrous other creations that I definitely recommend to take a peek at. I changed the bird for a raven to fit yen, the lyrics to mitski's the deal were also present in my mind

I associate this song so deeply with her and with this illustration having a bird that represents her, but the bird is caged around her neck never again to take flight and she's wearing a choker that the bird is situated on tightly around her neck almost chocking her, there's this push and pull, a give and a take. and she's also wearing a dress and the fabric is imitating long flowy feathers to further drive her resemblance to the raven.
