Day 17: "Bliss" - Good Omens, AziraCrow
(Ineffable Smut War entry, very light NSFW)
Pure hearts stumble
In my hands they crumble
Fragile and stripped to the core
I can't hurt you anymore
The sunshine trapped in our hearts
It could rise again
When comfort
And warmth can't be found
I still reach for you
But I'm lostCrushed
Cold and confused with
No guiding light left inside
You're my guiding light
When there's no guiding light left inside
When there's no guiding light in our lives...
.
.
Please. Let them be together again.
.
Completion time: 3 hours
Today's theme chosen by me: after almost 3 weeks of daily sketches, I am slowly gaining confidence in both this new “Red Art Style” and drawing smut / sensual scenes. For now, I am searching the perfect balance between a neat, proper way to colour my usual wings (black wings, white wings, etc…) and a way to express motions – and emotions – like I usually manage to show them in my early rough sketches.
Sometimes I feel like these two goals are incompatible.
And sometimes it just goes perfectly the right way while I am colouring…
Final goal: being able to colour and shade this "RichardII Kiss" WIP , and make it even better than the rough sketches.

(My "personal Daily Challenge" Rules reminder:
Personal challenge: a simple sketch each day
Goal: forcing me to keep things simple - inking, shading, just a few sashes of colour
Improvement pursued: to get the movement, the emotion, finding how to add depth, learning how to leave things barely finished
Max time allowed: 2 hours instead of 8-20 on my previous projects – more like 3 hours here, as usual when I decide to draw wings in this challenge)

17th August 1510, execution upon the orders of Henry VIII of Edmund Dudley, and Richard Empson for treason. Both men had served in the court of Henry’s father Henry VII, the first Tudor king. Upon attaining the throne the previous year, Henry VIII ordered the arrest of Dudley and Empson for the apparent charge of assembling arms during his father’s last illness, especially in the case of Dudley. The actual reason is more likely to have been their unpopularity stemming from their financial management of Henry VII’s kingdom. Both men were executed at the Tower of London. Edmund Dudley’s son John was also later executed at the Tower on the 22nd August 1553, for attempting to install Lady Jane Grey as Queen after the death of Henry VIII’s son Edward VI. John Dudley’s son Robert Dudley, was the favourite and potential suitor of Elizabeth Ist, whose intervention during the failed attempt to install lady Jane Grey on the throne saved him from execution. The same fate as his father and grandfather. 19th August 1399, English King Richard II surrenders and abdicates the throne to his cousin Henry Bolingbroke at Flint Castle. Richard had banished Henry earlier in the year, following the death of Henry's father and Richard’s Uncle John of Gaunt, who had held the reins of power during Richard’s young reign. Returning with an army Henry had recruited many nobles who were disenfranchised by Richard’s paranoia, which over the years had morphed into a reign of tyranny and megalomania. Held in Pontefract Castle Richard died, probably by starvation in 1400. 22nd August 1485, King Richard III is defeated and killed at the Battle of Bosworth Field by Henry Tudor, the battle becomes one of the defining moments (continued in the comments) #williamshakespeare #henryviii #tudor #tudorhistory #henryvii #toweroflondon #toweroflondon🇬🇧 #ladyjanegrey #robertdudley #richardii #henrybolingbroke #johnofgaunt #richardiii #warsoftheroses #bosworthfield #plantagenet #plantagenets #houseofyork #houseoflancaster #yorkist #lancastrian #englishhistory #medievaltimes #medievalhistory #medievalhistorylovers #renaissancehistory #latemedieval #thisdayinhistory #15thcentury #16thcentury https://www.instagram.com/p/CSzWdHNnfNH/?utm_medium=tumblr
