May I present the best apple:

Jousting at the festival to impress your lady love!!!

For this Witch Hat Monday I drew Coco in a Starry Night Dress! It's a continuation of the Starry Night Hat I painted a while back :)

Time lapse below, the full hours long art videos, PSD file and HD image will be DMed on Patreon the 5th of each month :)

The overall style of the manga seems to be mostly inspired by illustrations from old fairy tales

(Household stories from the collection of the Bros. Grimm 1922)

But Kamome combined this Fairy Tale style with elements from many other styles, for example:

-Art Nouveau

("Zodiac" by Alphonse Mucha 1896)

("illustration for Le Morte Darthur" by Aubrey Beardsley 1893)

-Baroque

("A New Book Of Ornaments With Twelve Leaves" Matthias Lock and Henry Copland, 1752)

- Rococo

("The Apotheosis of Hercules" François Lemoyne 1736)

-Western Comic Style

The western style should come as no surprise since Kamome did work for DC Comics

Tiger Quoll (Dasyurus Maculatus)

I wanted the birds to look like they were actually in the space so first thing after doing the draft was to do a lighting study

after that I covered the walls in letters in lieu of a projector/vr headset bc i have neither of those :) Then i take a picture of the section of wall and superimpose the lineart over top of it so I can pencil in the lines

et voila
