Hello! I have to let you know that the art you've done of Eddie is incredible, stunning, intriguing, absolutely gorgeous. Would you be willing to tell us about your choices and thought process for these pieces? The details and symbolism are so interesting, and I'd love to hear more! The pearl necklaces, the ruby earring, the specific scenes/poses, the wounds, the flowers, etc.
Feel free to answer publicly or privately, or not at all, whatever feels best. I just wanted to tell you how much I love the work!
Thank you so much for liking it! I feel incredibly honored 🥰🥰
I’ve been really busy lately and haven’t opened Tumblr in a while, so I’m sorry for the late reply… These are actually drawings I made a long time ago, and unfortunately I’ve already forgotten lots of meanings behind them😢😢😢😢. Even if I did, I feel like it would be a bit weird to explain those hints too clearly… I don’t really like to emphasize my interpretation……I really prefer it when viewers are free to think and feel whatever they want from my work 🥺🥺🥺🥺
But I’ve always been drawn to the kind of gender-neutral（？）quality Eddie brings to the characters he plays… so when I draw him, I consciously try to emphasize those traits. At the time, I was really into Golden Age illustrators and some more traditional artists, and I was sort of trying to learn from them… so I guess I ended up combining the two a bit?
Anyway, it turned out better than I expected! The vulnerability that many of Eddie’s characters carry (does that sound weird?) clearly fits this theme really well🥺🥺 Btw I am so into his eyes…..you can probably tell I spent a lot of time drawing them 😢😢😢😢
