Hollow Knight Fanart Konstantin Makovsky in the Gardens
I did a new Hollow knight fanart. It features Bapanada and her husband in the gardens. I did a survey to decide the setting. The gardens ended up being the overall winner. I didn’t do the Queen’s garden per say. I just made it the garden that I saw in this painting. This painting was made by Konstantin Makovsky. It features the artist’s children doing gardening chores. I thought that it would serve as a good model for my Hollow knight drawing. There are a little simple, but cute. There really isn’t much to say about this drawing. One...
Hollow Knight White Lady and Pale King Winterhalter Painting Parody
I did a poll to see the couple that I would draw this week. The winner of that poll was the Pale King and the White lady. After looking at a bunch of paintings and movie poster, I settled for this little number. I felt like it would be fun to dress them up in other outfits. As to be expected, the White Lady towers over her husband. So, her dress needed to be the center of attention. The Pale King I dressed in red. It was the only way for folks to notice him. I think the Hollow...
Hollow Knight Britto Heart Fanart
Today, I felt like making a new Hollow Knight painting fanart. I chose to do Britto because I like his art style. I think it would combine well with the Hollow Knight Aesthetics. Hollow Knight is a very grey game. I wanted to see how the Grey Mourner Ze’mer and the Traitor’s Child would look like with a bit of color. Both characters within the game have grey colors. Their backstory is pretty depressing. They were lovers that were not allowed to be together. The traitor’s child is eventually killed. Ze’mer is left completely by herself to mourn the loss...
Teresita Blanco Self Portraits Britto and Picasso Style
Today, I wanted to show you two new self-portraits. I was mimicking the painting style of Romero Britto and Pablo Picasso. Both have pretty similar cubism style. Picasso is classical cubism, while Britto is soft Cubism. Picasso likes to have plain backgrounds, while Britto likes colorful backgrounds. Both artists are visually comparable. This is why I chose to make two self-portraits in their styles. The first painting I wanted to talk about is the self-portrait I made Pablo Picasso style. I looked through my closet to find a dress that looked a bit cubist. I also wore a cute yellow...
Barcelo Maya Palace Wall Art Décor Travel
Today, I wanted to write a blog about some of the nice décor I saw in the Barcelo Maya Palace. When one talks about a resort, it is important to talk about the ambience. It depends on what you consider important. As for me, I like to look at random decorations and blog about them. The first thing I wanted to talk about are these cute figurines. They are ceramics that are drawn over. Most of them feature faces of maidens in different outfits. It has quite the peculiar cartoonish style that is quite charming. In the gift...
