redraw of this piece!! i mentioned in that post that i would redraw it at some point and ig that time is now! (i meant to post this before id2 came out but i got really busy so y'know lol better late than never)

i like to think i've improved! still can't draw chairs though haha

side by side comparison under the cut + rambly artist commentary(?):

i still have a long way to go in learning proper anatomy but i think the new pose looks a lot more natural and comfortable! also ~sexier~ perhaps

i tried to make the bg look closer to the actual cg they used in the book, i am arguably better at doing backgrounds now i think! i used to not put a lot of thought into it and just blocked out random shapes and called it a day (okay, i still do that now lol but i put more care into it now !! i try to make the shapes a bit more distinct and actually plan and sketch it out rather than draw some blobs and hope for the best ldkfkhsl). also more colour range(?) to give it a bit more depth!!)

i'd also like to add that i think i'm also better at figuring out compositions now, idk how it is for y'all but when i look at the original my eyes can't help but just fall to the centre, bc there's no focal point(?) or anything that's visually interesting for the eyes to land on. plus with the way it's structured, my eyes just naturally fall to center (+ bottom half bc the skin showing through the rips are bright in contrast to the black) >_> in contrast, in the redraw your eyes are automatically drawn to the face bc it's arguably the most interesting thing on the canvas and thus acts as the visual anchor of sorts (plus there is enough contrast with the background to make cas stand out instead of blend in)

even though i cringe looking at the og i can't help but to also feel endeared bc this was one of the first immortal desires fanart i ever did and also one the first of my posts to do really well! i never expected to get that much attention since i was only posting casually but it really warmed my heart reading all the lovely comments and motivated to draw more :D

it's also really fun seeing how much my art style and techniques have evolved! i don't think i use any of the same brushes i used to use for my old pieces anymore now haha. i also watched the timelapse for the old one and am honestly kind of in awe at how my different my drawing process used to be!!

i still have a lot to learn (esp in terms of anatomy, lighting, shading etc.) but i'm happy with where i am rn! the great thing about being a hobbyist is that there isn't really any pressure for me to improve quickly so i can just take my time haha (except maybe from imposter syndrome but that's neither here nor there)

i think i could've drawn his face and expression a bit better but i think this is a satisfying enough redraw for now!

btw, these are just my thoughts! i am not an art student so the things i said might not be technically correct but this is how i make sense of things in my brain

and of COURSE farah is the only li who explicitly states her sexuality/being canonically queer regardless of mc's gender or whether or not they romance her. because GOD FORBID there be any implications of *gasp* MALE characters/lis being anything but cis and straight and so masculine it physically and mentally hurts even if you romance them as a non female mc.

fwiw I think the reason why BOLAS 2 took so long to release wasn't because it took them two and a half years to write a single new book, but bc they at the very least also outlined a book 3, so I (perhaps harboring under deep delusion) think we're not going to get the same insane wait time for book 3

Lmao they made an entire new cell just for us

I hate that Blades is VIP.

Also, I think ther best way to wrap up the books would be a happy ending for everyone. But knowing seemingly AI generated stories and ideas are primary way of life for PB currently (my opinion), I fear MC is going to end up dying and no happy ending for us. (That be shitty for a multitude of reasons and would break the forth wall a little). All I want is for PB stories to bring back real stakes. Characters in danger, actual consequences to choices.

All in all, I ain't hopeful and I despise whomever decided to make the last book VIP.

Welp I'm glad... I'm freaking obsessed... I cant wait!

fell down the rabbit hole of catching up on choices drama but this time with the actual company omfg… they struggling so bad it’s genuinely embarrassing. wdym you’ve fallen into the ai trap, lost all your og employees, and not even in the top 10 on the apple (roleplaying) charts. i wanna watch it all burn. i knew they have been shit for Years when they started with all the VIP exclusives and leaning into the same, copy and paste billionaire smut stories. crazy times. who remembers waiting for trr books to release… perfect match etc etc.

what a niche topic guys!

On your quest to find the killer, you're forced to look at your inner circle.

Villainous Valentines: Radiance spoilers

Ok so I went to the dark side and bought vip for a day and omg...we can choose to team up with Radiance against Kieran!

!!!!!!!! We can choose to be bad!! Oh man, can you imagine what the story line would be like if this was the actual TCH book 1?? Like Radiance found you before Kieran does, and you can decide if you want to be attracted to Radiance or not, meet Kieran and decide if you want to help Radiance or fall in love with Kieran instead...I would choose Radiance over Kieran in a heart beat. We could overthrow the ugly old uncles, help Radiance see how important it is to keep the balance of the 2 courts, Radiance and Longclaw could repair their relationship...decide if we want to break Kieran's curse or not...I'm so interested to see what path this mc would look like if Radiance was an actual LI
