First art post of 2023, starting off with an old art redraw

Back in Autumn 2021 (has it really been that long...) I started watching Magnificent Century with my mom, and after finishing the first season I really wanted to draw one of my favourite characters, Viktoria/Sadika. Whether or not I succeeded is... questionable. The art is still up, but I’m not the biggest fan of it. IMO, she looks more like Hatice than Viktoria, but eh, that’s why we’re here

Behold, my updated art of Viktoria’s last scene in the show, utilising my anatomy-based art classes, staying more true to the original screenshot, and completely disregarding my art teacher telling me to stop painting on one layer:

Reference:

#my art #magnificent century #magnificent century viktoria #sadika hatun #saadet isil aksoy #yet another female character who was done so dirty by canon and deserves so much better #I hope I managed to capture the likeness of saadet isıl aksoy bc she’s absolutely gorgeous and I want to do her justice #I wanna do more mc art but making my usual style look like the actors is hard #also I wanna make more art. period. in the new year #practise anatomy and backgrounds and clothing #and make comics #and maybe start learning animations #but that’s me rushing ahead #for now im just satisfied with how much better I got than 15 months ago #I also really like painting in this style #it’s not trying to directly replicate the ref but adding more cartoonish features like bigger eyes #which gives me more creative freedom #and that’s something I always appreciate
