My submission for the Gallavich Fanart Masquerade 2024
Doing this art was so strange, i tried really hard to go against all my instincts and habits!! It was kind of a fascinating and weird exercise in trying to pick apart all the little things that makes my art look like me...and then *not* do those things. I even tried to draw ian and mickey from an era and with the haircuts that I usually don't go for. this whole artwork is me trying to not do my own artwork, and yet it still came out like me in the end anyway i think. wild how that works!!
The title on ao3: You Are Pure Beside Me as a Sleeping Amber, (from Pablo Neruda's Sonnet LXXXI), was another meager attempt at misdirection as i essentially dont know a single thing about poetry. ...and also im usually quite allergic to proper capitalization 🤪
Very interesting experience but super fun!! Thanks @gallavichthings for the event and thanks to everyone who played and commented and kudos'd!! <3
The @gallavichthings Fanart Masquerade guessing has closed and all the secrets are out! Meow.
Did you guess right? 👀
EDIT: By popular request this is now available on RedBubble - until Disney hunts me down and kills me. So if you wish to have this in your home in some shape or form... be quick about it! hahaha
Line art for anyone who fancies colouring in some little lions 🐈⬛ 🐈 Tag me if you do please, I’d love to see them!
I love that they ADDRESSED the idea of Malleus carrying these two up the stairs.
...But in my heart of hearts I wish they had tried it first, just to see the resulting chaos of knocking into things and figuring out first hand it wouldn't work.
And Baru cast the first dart at hand, the words that set the coopers and the fishmongers and the bannermen of Lyxaxu and Oathsfire and Unuxekome roaring: “Show them who should rule Aurdwynn, and why.”
Vultjag! the poorer parts of the crowd screamed, a raw astonished sound. Vultjag!
