So I've done a couple drawings in my sketchbook recently that I like enough to share.
This one I did purely for the sake of drawing a bunch of ballgowns, testing my design skills. And I even pushed myself to draw a background!
This is an old character whose story is kind of on hold right now. I've been having a hard time nailing down what she looks like in my head, so this is an attempt to do that.
Finally, this comes from a dream i had last night. I somehow got cast in a play as an "unnamed seamstress" (I think, for some reason my actual name was used? Dreams are weird). When I woke up I just had this image in my head, where the seamstress is begging an older woman to take her on as an apprentice/employee. I tried to show that it's a part in a play by drawing the stage makeup (mascara, blush, a tiny bit of eyeshadow, lipstick) and those who know me well would also be able to tell because my hair is in a bun here. Which I will only do if I'm going on stage.
These are all really good! Especially the ballgowns in the first are pretty, and I love the design of the dress in the second!
Here's one piece I just finished. It was a gift for a friend of mine for his birthday; his character in a RP im running, which is actually a reboot of the
Victorian Horror RP here on the forum because honestly I really missed it, and because my friends wanted to start up a steampunk/victorian era game I ended up running it again!
So far we're not much further than it went here on the forum, but I have much more planned. (actually if you're interested in reading it so far, or even joining maybe, PM me and I can send a link to the Discord chat)
Anyway, without further ado, Edward Victoria:
Spoiler: Big images show I also custom framed it! At first I tried to make a frame from scratch but it didn't work out so I just used the router to fancy up the edges of an already existing frame, and stained the wood a darker colour as well.
The style I was going for is kinda inspired by Don't Starve, I wanted something that gave off a real Victorian-Gothic vibe. In the RP, his character is a bit of a mad scientist who has some transmutation magic gained from a satanic ritual. (that's what he's doing in the drawing)
It was really fun and really difficult and really stressful and overall I'm really happy with how it turned out!
