Done! Viktuuri fanart for Meet Me by the River by @c0rnfl0wer. With Yuuri’s embroidery I besically decided I’ll drop being accurate and have fun. And I did! If I ever feel like redoing it for accuracy, I will. But right now I’m so happy. Vasya, thank you for indulging me with conversations about… basically everything drawn here!

meet me by the river
Host: ao3 Author: c0rnfl0wer (c0rnfl0wer on tumblr too) Pairings: Viktor Nikiforov / Katsuki Yuuri Rating: explicit Genre: historical au, russian mythology au, soulmate au, both povs Word Count: 11.5k Status: complete (subject to change) Series: Victory of the Night (a Slavic mythology au)
Summary: Every Kupala Night has come and gone without his attending, but now that Viktor Nikiforov is getting older and taking over the position as leader of his village, he has to start taking his life in a different direction. He wasn’t sure whether he expected anything at all in this way. But when Yuuri catches his wreath, he finds the path he had always longed for.
Historical/Mythology AU based on Slavic mythology and traditions, specifically Kupala Night - a midsummer celebration involving merrymaking in a few different ways.
for the poem thing: water
down by the river i wreath your namein blooms of blue and whiteand float them gently beside the bankto find my love tonight
your eyes are a bonfire burning brightbeneath the summer’d skyand with each press, your hand in minesets my poor heart alight
the woods are dark, the sky is stillthe trees witness our lovebut in the morning i wake aloneyet vanished flowers prove
that i had touched your heart that nightbeneath midsummer moonand though the months snail by, my lovei will remember you
this fiery bud you have left with mei treasure to my heartbut come the next kupala nightwe’ll meet, and never part
down by the river i wreath your nameand clasp your hand in minethe water is cold but i feel no chillas long as our souls entwine
(send me a word and I’ll write a poem)
Another WIP. Same fanart for Meet Me By the River by @c0rnfl0wer. This time it’s Yuuri. He’s also going to have some embroidery, but sadly - less details. I planned this all wrong, lol.
Pretty much done with Viktor. :3 I wanted to have more embroidery on his chest but I wanted the lunula to be visible and not vanish in a mess of details. I also redid the lunula since it became pretty fuzzy and smudged. I might add some in the lower hem of the tunic but I’m not sure? I like it as it is. Viktor from the ending scene of ‘Meet Me by the River’ by @c0rnfl0wer. Yuuri’s embroidery is going to have more details. Also more embroidery in general.

A work in progress. This will be fanart of Meet Me By the River by @c0rnfl0wer. I plan on giving details to embroidery at the edges (the grey parts, for now) if I can do that without it looking like too much, and making that fuzzy mess on his head a flower crown. I chose the moment Viktor was keeping himself sitting still. Yuuri is also there, but I don’t feel confident sharing him yet.
Oh, I forgot to ask! What kind of braids work for the hairstyles? I could be left to mess around and do something ridiculously modern but I'd rather have the hair right.
I q’d your other ask but I’ll answer this for you now. The hairstyles differed a lot from region to region obviously and it’s hard to get a clear picture. Most men are often depicted as having hair at least to their shoulders and don’t need braids. On the other hand, in Russian culture it was considered civilized for a woman to keep her hair braided (or at least that seems to be the general theory. I see a lot of historical reconstructions where their hair is worn loose). Hence, Viktor wears his hair loose throughout the story and Yuuri is the one with braids.
This for Western Slavs but it should give you a basic picture:
Loose: x. (has a good example of the cross-gartering!)Braids: x, x, x. so, they’re pretty loose in general, sometimes not even straight-up braids. the third image is what I mostly had in mind for Yuuri; the braids are loose, aren’t “complete”, and you can see more hair loose behind her shoulders.
I don’t usually have this much fun drawing. This specific fanart is special. Thank you, @c0rnfl0wer!!!
