#flagbearer

[livingmess-doingherbest]

Okay, now that the ceremony is over and I have access to high quality stills, it's time for the most important question :

will I disguise myself as the masked Torchbearer or the badass Amored Rider lady for Halloween ?

[missriyochuchi]

I hope the Assassin’s Creed torch bearer and the Spirit of the Olympic Games flag bearer/horse rider will show up at the closing ceremony and kiss I mean fuck I mean run off into the sunset together

These 3 are in a polycule

[yandere-wishes]

I AM OBSESSED WITH THEM!!! They are literally everything!!

day 2 of hoping theyll put more masked people in the paralympics ceremonies i saw these memes and i immediately thought i needed to draw them with it!!! i also put a pic of them that i found from before the closing ceremony bc i dont think anyone posted it on here yet <<<333 (more asks to come tomorrow. might start making multi-drawing/panel answers to asks as well depending on circumstance) actually- i think i have lore for them now. should i make a proper comic???

[clairemation]

Shit, I forgot this story has a horse in it and nobody knows how to draw one. Their form is inscrutable and their composition is unknown to science

Also, if I ever say I’m gonna do “just a quick study” and I start painting in color, one of you please come up and SMACK me in the head

Anyway, this sketch is kind of funny because in the characterization I’m giving the Torchbearer in this fancomic, he is… not a fan of horses

An edit I did of them almost a month ago <3

Listen, I've been too nice to y'all on main. I normally squirrel my hyperfixations away on 2 dozen side blogs. No. Y'all are going to deal with me being annoying about the Olympics on main. This is where I've always put it and where I will continue to put it.

Yes I'm obsessed with the torch bearer and the flag bearer. I am human. No I'm not going to tag anything. I'm very tired.

Sorry not sorry.

stupid 'crossover' idea i had since the Olympics opening but i never had/don't have the energy to continue, so unfinished sketch it goes it looks fun like that-

Giving little thought to their own defense, they carried the flag that united their army.

Watching the saber women semi-finals while reading silver torch fanfic is a vibe, I recommend ! 😍

More finished version of that torchbearer and flagbearer fanart from earlier!

ART PROCESS RAMBLING BELOW:

Oddly, I feel the composition would work better if they were facing left, but then it feels like they’re going the “wrong” way. Like they’re just skipping out on the Olympics 😆

This way, it feels to me like they’re coming from the ceremony, having just discharged their duties. I think if they were further left in the frame, especially relative to the Tower, it would look like they were going TO the ceremony.

Also, I meant it to look like there are water droplets on the “camera lens,” but realistically if there were, they would be SO out of focus that you wouldn’t be able to see the forms like that. They’d just be bright spots. Artistic license.
