i’m at a county fair w/ my aunt cause she has a stand but it’s for her massage business so i mostly get to sorta just sit around and yap and fuck around
we’ve been here like less than 2 hours and i’ve already made 2 edits
“Alina wondered what flower Zoya would choose for her”
Sankta Zoya, Patron Saint of Retribution, Protector of The Voiceless
Brought to you by @wafflesandkruge, me and our clown to clown communication
“- hey did you ever posted this?
- hey so remember how you were supposed to write part 2 of this?
- oh”
So this has been buried in my drafts for 2 years and it was originally part of the grishaverse mini bang but now it’s finally yours
Read what Tiff wrote for my edit here
I will be dissecting all the details I included in Zoya's saint portrait under the cut
Composition
For the composition i drew inspiration from the Holy Trinity portrait on the right. For the coloring/texture I tried to immitate the one on the left. Halos are not as common is orthodox saints as they are in catholic saints, but I thought it looked nice so I added it anyways.
Patronage
“Who would speak for Lilyana, for Genya and Alina and Baghra if she did not? Who will speak for me?”
Tiff and I agreed that Zoya’s patronage had to come out from this passage from KoS, but it was her who chose it because she’s sm better with words than me :^)
The flowers
Ever since I had the idea of making a saint portrait for Zoya, I knew I wanted to include elements from her garden. In Rule of Wolves there’s a passage that mentions specific flowers for certain people, but I took the liberty of adding other flowers. For this, I used differente sources but mainly the victorian language of flowers. Some of them are directly associated with death and mourning, some of them are for people Zoya’s lost and some other for those who are still around but that she still grieves over. There are over 200 layers of just flowers in this portrait, just so you know how long this took.
Regarding the distribution of the flowers, I tried to place the ones associated to those she loved the most closer to the frame, closer to her.
as mentioned in Rule of Wolves
Yew for Sergei
Hearleaf for Marie
Red Sentinel for Fedyor
Dahlias for Nina (meaning: eternal love, commitment)
My addition
Marigold for Harshaw (meaning: sorrow)
Penciled Geranium for David (Tiff’s choice, as mentioned in her fic)
Buttercup for Alina (meaning: radiant with charm)
Orchids for Genya (meaning: elegance, beauty)
Aster and Baby’s breath for Lada (meaning: daintiness and innocence)
Myrtle for Lilyanna (meaning:love)
Black Iris for Baghra (meaning: wisdom, mystery, and rebellion)
Forget me not + Gladiolus (meaning: mourning, funeral, you pierce my heart)
Chrysanthemum + Pansies (meaning: condolences for someone going through hard times)
Hemlock + Nettle (meaning: death, a loved one that is taken too soon)
Snow Drop (meaning: consolation, hope)
Carnation (meaning: heartache)
Camellia (meaning: longing for you)
Hyacinth (meaning: please forgive me)
Hawthorne (meaning: hope)
Orange Blossom (maning: eternal love)
Petunia (meaning:anger, resentment)
Poppy (meaning: eternal sleep)
Rue (meeaning: regret)
Asphodel (meaning: my regrets follow you to the grave)
Zinnia (meaning: everlasting friendship)
The dragon dress
This is self explanatory. I am just gonna say there are lizards and other reptiles involved in this and that it was Tiff’s idea to give her a dress with scales, so thank you Tiff.
The stars
“Few people noticed the little boat that had been painted into one of the six corners, or the flag it flew with two tiny stars. And no one who did would have known what it meant”
King of Scars
The mural
It is canon that Alina painted this, so her signature is hidden somewhere in there. I tried to play with filters and textures to make it look as much as an actual mural as possibe.
I want to say thank you to all the people making edits of my favourite characters, my music taste is grateful for all the songs I've discovered because of you
