best prank my nan ever pulled was getting my granddad a pack of 100 cigarettes (if you've never smoked, you can buy 100 packs which is 5 packets of 20 encased in a plastic wrap, or a box)
she very carefully unstuck the outer covering and slid out all the packets
then she equally carefully undid the individual plastic wraps on the packets from the bottom (again, if you've never smoked, there is one of those little pull tabs at the top to take the top part off, but the bottom is folded over and stuck)
doing this without ripping the plastic is very difficult
she slid out all of the packets from their plastic gowns
she very carefully opened each box so as to not rip or damage it
she carefully folded back the inner paper
she removed every single cigarette
in one box, she replaced the contents with candy cigarettes
and then, painstakingly, she slid each box back into its plastic wrap
re-folded and stuck the plastic at the bottom
put them back in the outer plastic, with the candy cigarette one at the bottom (so as to be last) and restuck that
and gave the cigrarettes to my granddad

you captured olivia cooke as alicent SO incredibly well, you perfectly exaggerated her lips shape, and the way you exaggerated rhaenyra's features she looks so dragon-like fr
your art is beautiful and the way you exaggerate features is an aspiration
ha! thank you!!!!!! i do have to say i've been obsessive in learning her face and (hoping this doesn't sound psychotic bc this is normal in artists ok i swear) have curated an ever-growing reference board for like every angle of her face
and her lips.. haha well... let's just say. i'm devoted and committed to that perfect downturned angle with just the right amount of misery. normal people: hey how's it going
also i love that you said my version of rhaenyra looks dragon-like. i have the most fun drawing sharp/angular shapes and i think her face really allows for that. it's funny bc a certain group of people on the internet took that to mean i was disrespecting her character because apparently it's not a conventionally attractive way to draw someone? well sorry you don't have the blessing to see beauty in every human feature, that must be very hard
here's my rhaenyra ref board if anyone is curious 😭 just remembered i have more pictures to add oh yes
anyway. thank you for reaching out and showing appreciation because it really does mean so much! mwah

Srry on the second one, idk how to draw men that came from a live action series thingy but then I got paid 90p so I decided to do it
And I also don't know how to draw pregnant people unless I'm drawing it in a chibi style. Third one is coming very soon with something *deep voice* extra special..
For @liquiddeathgrimleaferguzzler and @rain-lane (my buddy(partner) who paid me)
