PLEASE GIVE IT SOME LOVE I’VE SPENT SO MUCH TIME ON IT 𓆩❦❣❥

Omg I love them so much!! This look me like dozens of hours to draw, edit &color but it was all deffinitly worth it I’m so happy with it. 🥹😭 I’ve never thought of myself as a person who’d be into animation because it takes so much time (and holyshit it does) but it feels so rewarding to slowly bring your drawings to live and see them move. 🥺💞

Ophelia & Dietrich have a complicated relationship but this fits them so well, they are literally characters who haunt each others narrative. 💔😭
With their different ideologies and morals they feel connected by rebellious mindsets and become close despite being from different sides, but eventually there are still differences between them that are always tearing torn them apart.

I also put in so many details, like you can see Ophelia’s expression shifting at the start, her jewelery (I love the earrings so much) as well as Dietrich’s pin. Each of the flowers also have all their own meaning, they’re lily of the valley, foxglove and belladonna flowers and they’re all poisonous which fits the story and characters so well.🥀

There are around 60 frames in total x’d. I really love the result tho so 100% would do it again. Also I’m in awe how everyone participating in this trend managed to finsih it so quickly still looking georgous. I’m so late to this lmao. by @esiemiaow

One of my favorite studies 🥰♥️ in this one i went for a painterly style, so i tried to use lot of the new and old painting procreate brushes and it was SO FUN TO EXPERIMENT WITH THEM. I’m especially so proud of the backround and the vibrant coloring and i love all the texture, so that’s something I definitely wanna try to bring into my art more in the furture.

The reference is Lucrenzia Borgia from the show Borgias, I absolutely adore their historical costumes. by @esiemiaow

Knight x princess my version

Anja & Dietrich sharing gazes across the room, ah I love them so much. This isn't meant to be necessarily romantic, I more of just wanted to make a reel about their relationship and how it's sad because they're so close after knowing and protecting each other for years but also they could never truly be in an equal relationship because of their power dynamics and social standing. ❤️‍🩹

They're shipped constantly tho by basically everyone in the story and it pisses them both off 🥲🙂‍↕️ because it suggests there was no way that they could care about each other whithout having any side intentions, and also cause it would have immoral implications for both of them based on their positions. (making advances on somone working for you knowing you have power over them/having a relationship with your boss in order to gain advantages)

Thank you so much @rociocarranzawrites for believing in me. ✦⟡
I was so excited to work on something with such unique setting like old west mexico! It was really fun to draw all the clothes and especially the painterly backround, I feel like I leaned into the painterly style so much with this artwork and I love the results ❤️💐

Here is an animation i made for @akuristaxx ‘s DTIYS 🥰❤️

I wanted to experiment with some short animation and saw noone drew art of him yet, and i love drawing guys with long hair so this became the perfect subject >< it took me deffinetly more time then inanticipated but i also feel like i learned so many things while working on it (especially animating stuff like hair, head movemet and the necklace was a bit challanging for me) and I’m supper happy with the result 😭🥹 I hope you like it and happy birthday akuristaxx!

Ps: I could not decide on the color of the shirt though the process, and as you can see, i still did not… so i just did both. I also wanted to show few of my favorite frames, close ups and wips as always, hence the post format 🥰

This is a cover I made for my friend @author.david.asthuri . Oh my gosh, we've worked on this so long and it's the first official order for a book cover I've got so I'm so proud to finally finish it. ฅ(꒦ິ⌓꒦ີマ

I was so excited and honored when he asked me to do his cover and I hope I've done it justice.‬♥︎ We started by brainstorming what should the cover look like, in the end we've come to including his four main characters Martis, Katherine, Xin and Barristan (I've done so much research on different historical armors lmao) and from there I drafted the sketch of the front and back, went to lineart, colors shading and lettering. There was so much change and adjustments at each stage, because there were so many details I wanted to get as accurate as possible, and it also went though multiple composition and color versions. I've also made paperback(smaller) & hardcover (bigger) versions of the cover, that's why you can see two different dimensions, and in the art with red guidelines you can see how they differentiate. You can also see the front and back separately and the ilustation without the lettering. 🥰❤️

In the end it was so much fun and experience working on this project and I'm so happy with the final result! Let me know your thoughts. by @esiemiaow

I recently looked into old paintings of ancient women an i kinda love how they portay them so naturally and beautifuly like they're capturing a timles and relatable moment. They also feel so body positive and i decided to draw something inspired ♥︎

It's a gift for a person I care about and I am really proud of how i captured the likness in this portrait. I obviously won't show you the real photo but i still think you can see the unique traits well tho! (and they loved it 🥰❤️)

I think it took me in total like 37 hours cause there were so many details I was working on and I reworked lot of my ideas during the process, and spent really lot of time trying to get down the unique face features. I wanted to make it look like an old painting so I used a lot of painterly brushes + some classic digital art techniques, but there was a lot of overpainting in the end. You can see all the details and in process pictures on the latter slides, and in the end I also added some paintings which I was really inspired by!

finally posting this painting, please give it some love ‪♡

I really wanted her to look straight into the eyes of the viewers, as if she's about to say something and we don't know what, or wonder what or who is she sketching. I also added some writing of mine so let me know if you can piece it together!

It's supposed to be a self portrait, alas not extremely accurate one, cause I'm still in the process of learning how to capture likeness. But I still had so much fun adding little details about me, like my favorite earrings, freckles, necklace I bought in Florence and wear daily, or a scar between my eyebrows from when I run into a window as a child.

It really made me feel kinda nice to draw so beautiful self portrait because I'd always suck at capturing myself, and I am kinda happy with this.

I also started this when I was experimenting with my style and I wanted to do a more painterly piece, so I tried to emulate brush strokes a bit or the shading in old paintings and I found out it's so fun and I enjoy all the texture. It took me a long to post it because in total I spent like eighteen hours on it and multiple times I stopped working on it because I wasn't satisfied and then I came back to it weeks later, so that's why I am so excited to finally mark it as finished to myself.

I also absolutely love all the details so that's why I included so many close ups to the painting to really see all of them, plus some work in progress screenshots, and you can also see my speedpaints in the end!

Also, if you read all the way to the end, plese drop me a white heart in the comments, I want to know how many people read all the way. 🤍🤍🤍 by @esiemiaow

I wanted to do a piece that was more dramatic and had that flare lens effect so this is it! 💌

This time I have no idea where the reference came from, I just found it, but in my head they're a couple that's saying their goodbyes before being parted from each other, possibly forever. ฅ(T-Tマ

I wanted to make the atmosphere very soft so I just focused on simple lighting and use lot of blurry effect to center them, and personally I'm very happy with how it turned out. 🥰🥹 by @esiemiaow

I love a dramatic scene with daggers, so in this ilustration I focused on texture and color a lot, trying to bring in as many shades as possible, which I mostly achived by playing with chrome distortion, some blending modes trying to add as much color that contrasted in soft tones which suprisingly worked, and then also classicly just painting over anything I didn’t like on normal layer.

As a short description of the situation, Milady just murdered this mpc character and didn’t have time to leve the house before the musketeers come in to look for the man, and then his assasin. So she’s just hiding behid the door hoping she won’t be found by d'Artagnan and holding the dragger in case she does, which fortunetly for her doesn't happen. They still find out it was her who did it tho so meh. This episode is called Knight takes the Queen and is one of my favorite parts of the series. by @esiemiaow

My entry to @mby_52025 dtyis!! I really enjoyed this challenge, experimenting with the dramatic lighting and pose and I’m honestly so surprised with how nice it turned out, plus I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to draw fanart of Asteria and Aylan 🥰♥️
