well, that was sucktastic

text taken from this post

I was at Waterstones when I spotted a bookmark inspired by The Kiss, and it reminded me of all the fandom recreations of the painting I'd seen online.

Naturally, I went looking for a Ronan and Adam version and couldn't find one. So l decided to make my own. I also tried to include as many lore-accurate details as possible. If you noticed any of them, let me know!

And I’d really appreciate it if you could tell me where you post your art, because TikTok is stressing me out SO bad 😭

I barely get any views, and I know numbers aren’t everything, but seeing people interact with my art makes me feel appreciated and motivates me to keep creating.

I wanted this to be lineart-less but then I did NOT want to deal with the layering of the sprigs 😔

BOOK COVER REDRAW of one of the most insane and gutwretching books ever written. (Art without text and full process on my insta!)

It was my first time designing a book cover and I have to say the process was painful. I started with a strong idea in mind: I wanted to portray Harrow at the exact moment she got her memories back. It had to be spectacular, dramatic, atrocious. There had to be skeletons, lots of skeletons, the castle of her House, and of course, Gideon's sword. Then came the hard part, colors. I changed the colors I think 4 times, just couldn't get them right, but in the end can say I'm quite happy with the result. During the whole process I kept looking at the original cover from @studiotommy.co (insta) trying to grasp even a small fragment of his tenique (ps. Posting this 2 days before a big tit announcement wasn't in my plans👀)

I hope I've done this book justice, because at the end, that's what it's all about.

(WIP) IM SO NORMAL ABOUT THEM LATELY I SWEAR!!!!!!!
