"Since you've named yourself after Julius fucking Caesar, perhaps I'll follow in your lead and choose one of the conspirators." "Interesting," says Giuliano. "Should I worry about finding you at the center of some kind of conspiracy that ends with my death?" "Not from me," replies Ascanio. He sounds tired. "Not anymore."
informally, some kind of. conversational follow up to the last comic. I'm trying to get the atmospheric conversational whimsy out of my system because I have a vision of the vatican as a body in active decay, a point of infection spreading out and poisoning the well, a jaw unhinged that people walk into over and over, and I am so close to figure out how to convey this visually. maybe.
#not that there's anything wrong with atmospheric whimsy but i kind of want to get into the gross body horror of it all#literally. allegorically. for the vibes. its just hard to pin down the abstract thought of 'oh we should High Rise the Vatican' you know#(High Rise by JG Ballard is what i'm referring to here) like how do I achieve this. well. first. is i must lay out the vatican and become#intimate with the visual set pieces. then i can talk about how this building could literally be hazardous to your health#however. drawing the vatican. is very. uhhhh. man I do not know enough about medieval-renaissance architecture to be inventing#anything and that one book that collected interiors of rooms and houses in renaissance art is NEVER ANYWHERE EVER#and if it is then it's always around when i cannot afford it. i feel like i am in a specific kind of torment torture box#i will not be defeated tho. i can design a vatican through other means.#ANYWAY. i think antidepressants would've made ascanio an unstoppable menace in the vatican#there's a bunch of stuff being referenced here but my pdf reader does not want to cooperate with me so basically we're playing around with#ascanio's household staff (alessandro) that whole thing wrt to ascanio & acts of piety/charity (such as covering dowries etc)#uh. that's it! this time i didn't accidentally call giuliano by his brother's name. which is . sherhhg. so there's a fic i was writing.#italian renaissance tag#komiks tag

Not trying to be rude, but your art style looks so similar to zucchiyeni
Ofc, I love you and zucchi♡
aww i'm flattered! zucchi is an amazing artist and i even follow them from what i remember (if i'm mistaken, i'll correct that and follow them heh :D)
though i actually take inspiration from Tatsuki Fujimoto, Gege Akutami, and Ferry's art style - then added my own flair to it!
i also know my art style is influenced by blkventi on twitter, the game Limbus Company, and much more for anyone who is curious and wants to check the original sources of my inspirations
in the utmv fandom, jakei has also been a big reason why i draw skeletons the way i do (namely the simplification of hands and skeleton anatomy)
i'm really flattered to be compared to zucchi though, i believe i'm nowhere near their level of artistry yet. i have much to learn but thank you so much! hope this post gave you an insight and that you have a good day
#i am a huuuge geek as you can see#i also take heavy inspiration from homestuck and mcyt artists#but there are so many i couldn't possibly put them down here#recently though soulsborne games have been taking ahold of my artstyle as well#most notably is when i paint#that medieval atmosphere is just chefs kiss#wyllaztopia rambles#asks#my artwork#doodles#my ocs

In other news, I can give Raina in the Whale AU-that's-not-an-AU-anymore a plaid shirt and make her extra lesbian coded and be historically accurate about it.
(I'm working on concepts, I ended the dreaded expression sheet and am working on clothes again, FINALLY <3)
#whale au#personal crap#I know nobody is behind me forcing to be as accurate as I can#it's just a comic and I loathe people who expect 100% historical accuracy from fiction#And will judge movies just on accuracy#I will spare you the long rant in the tags but:#The Northman is visually great but as a Hamlet adaptation is WAY WORSE than any schoolplay you'll ever see of Hamlet#The only one who acts like a Northman is the villain#WHICH YOU SHOULDN'T CHEER FOR.#the clothes are great. The palaces are too. The places. Visually it's great. But then the characters start to speak and the magic is over.#A knight's tale is visually not accurate at all - but the atmosphere is there and it's FULL of references to medieval novels#And a WAY more enjoyable movie than the Northman#A Knight's Tale made me want to study history#the Northman wouldn't have.#I SWEAR THIS IS THE SHORT VERSION#anyway I like to follow references as much as I can and I'm happy that tartan shirt were actually used by fishermen!

The Knight and the Fallen Petals - In a land ravaged by an eternal war, two noble knights traverse a field of fallen flowers, their vibrant petals crushed beneath armored boots. The air hangs heavy with the scent of battle and the bittersweet fragrance of the dying blooms. Swords drawn, the knights press onward through the melancholic beauty, their hearts steeled for the trials that await them in their quest to restore peace to the realm. In the distance, the silhouette of a once-majestic castle looms, a somber reminder of all that has been lost. Yet hope endures, as unwavering as the knights' resolve, that one day the flowers may rise again, and the land will know the gentle embrace of tranquility once more.

In the shadow of a primordial mountain Known by many as the spellbound Sibyl Rises among the frozen mist a fiefdom Guarded by walls of a majestic castle Triumphal emblem of undisputed realm Dungeon of the years consumed in exile
To thee i turn the gaze, my immortal land Among your golden fields i wandered long From crystal spring i quenched my thirst Thy dynast once i was, yet now a captive
Cutting whispers arose from the halls of the mansion They haunt me incessantly yearning for my downfall Those who in the past served me with trust and honor Have denied their allegiance in the name of deception
For many years an unwelcome presence i have become To those who forged with me the ties of a bloodline Blinded by a raging hatred i wait among the shadows Before the dagger of revenge falls upon their heads
Unchain my broken spirit from this oppressive prison So that it can reach the frozen vault of the heavens I will shed the mortal remains to be reborn undying And there will be no rest until my wrath is appeased
The moon was glowing on the top of tower As midnight descended on sleeping hamlet I left my room heading toward the garden Escorted by the mournful cry of the wind
The hour of the dark ritual draws near I will renounce this body without fear Before the dawn

[Image description: A painterly digital illustration of a character named Aphra walking along a grassy stone path. Aphra has dark skin and long hair with two white braids and one black one, and they are wearing a flowy teal dress. There is a gold halo behind their head. There are patches of polemoniums in the grass and Aphra is carrying a handful lifted up by their face. The sky is a radiant display of halos and sunrays, and a colorful swirl is splitting the sky open to show a starry night in the bottom left corner. Aphra is looking off to the side and smiling. End image description.]
#art#digital art#artists on tumblr#hi. i am not patient about backgrounds#the halos here are based on an actual atmospheric optical phenomenon!#referenced from a painting of the Sevenfold Sun Miracle where a complex halo display occured over a medieval town#very interesting history + science of atmospheric optical phenomenons is very neat
