Baffling how it didn't win an Oscar.

Back from Japan and feeling a sense of melancholy.

Storytelling aside, this season had some great cinematography especially during episode 2 and the final sequence of episode 8.

Well, this movie's as A24 as it gets. I think I enjoyed it? Still not entirely sure. I did love watching Sir Gawain grow as a knight and as a person so credit to Dev for pulling off that performance and nailing the character development. I liked the movie enough to do a painting so I guess there's that.

Started with some pose studies but then felt like creating my own character and so here we are. Had a ton of fun with this, especially when trying out the different styles.

Also did a painted version of the scene.

Based off a neighbour having a smoke.

Switched up my workflow, I now illustrate faster than before. Could probably dish out more original pieces like this one on the regular now!

A few thoughts about the movie: I learnt more about Estella and the fashion industry than I did about Cruella! The movie didn't quite match up well with Cruella from 101 Dalmatians but the back and forth between Stone and Thompson was fun to watch. As a standalone movie, it's entertaining despite a few hiccups and Estella feeling more like the natural personality than Cruella. Just don't bother trying to tie it in with 101 Dalmatians.
