"...Make it look like they've found home in each others' arms."
The moment I laid eyes on @madfantasy 's Severus I thought "that's him".
Inevitably, after a lot of indecision and pondering if I should sort out my priorities instead, I gave myself a little treat and ordered my very first art comission 🥰
What I wanted was for the artwork to convey the feeling of home.
Not a place, but a person.
Absolute calmness, quietude and safety.
In this artwork, Severus is calm, his mind is tranquil, and he is comforting as much as he is being comforted.💚
I have no words to express how Mani is such a professional and kind-hearted artist. I have sent (probably too many) guidelines, body position references, art references and written requests (I was a nightmare). And you know what? Every single one of them were attended and merged into something that translates into pure tenderness.
Thank you, Mani, for everything ❤️

one thing i noticed (form personal experience and by observing other artists) is that the longer you draw and create, the more boring it gets to simply replicate references, especially when it comes to characers' fashion choices.
with bnha, i keep mine pretty simple and basic because teens ARE very trend-loyal, but mainly im just lazy lol, but when i AM motivated, i love to think about characters' personal style, what could influence them, but also more trivial things such as budget into account, which is why i love to draw Deku in basic tees or clothes provided by his school (while bakugo gets to wear ed hardy and shoto wears arcteryx). i also love to limit the items like its just more realistic to me when someone as ordinary as deku wears the same 5 crewnecks all the time
which brings me to my actual point, namely that the more frequently you draw, the more you learn to do research andto combine your findings into sth new rather than staying faithful to one reference, and i think that's what makes good art so good, being able to draw inspiratioin from all kinds of niches and creating something that feels very authentic and suspends the spectator's disbelief. sometimes i see art and i know exactly which fashion editorial or which kpop idol was referenced, and I'm not insinuating these are bad things i do that too (less frequently now but i sure did!), my point is it's kind of nice to see how ALL artist start out with rather derivative art but eventually move on to create more authentic art that is less about drawing beautiful and perfect people and more about trying to individualize them and that ALSO means giving them weird clothes, scars, asymmetric eyes, a receding hairline etc. like drawing the same beautiful character 200 times gets so boring and it's just more fun to try and make them a bit more human

After months of work I’ve FINALLY finished repainting over much of her sprites, as well as added another outfit! The last one is heavily inspired by and gifted from her girlfriend, Esmico 💙
Words cannot express how happy I am with how she came out and to have her back in business! I’ve leaned in way more for her butterfly and opalescent aesthetic instead of stained glass, and figured it would be fun to give her minor mutations like the wing bits<3
