So, I was bored last night on my day off, and I decided to re-watch “IWTV,” just for fun, of course. I remembered how much I fell in love with the costumes by the lovely Sandy Powell, and so, I wanted to design one for her. Hang in there with me on the description, but here goes nothing:
I know, I know— it probably looks too much like the blue one she already wore beside Madeleine in her final hours, but I wanted it to a mirage of blues from dark cerulean to sky-blue. And then just for fun, I swept some Phoera glitter eyeliner over the finished colors for a sparkle effect. On her small cap sleeves and the large sash on her dress in front, there are black beads. I wanted a nice contrast between the colors, so that’s what came out. Well, I haven’t even finished the dress design if I’m honest!
But mostly, I designed this dress for her with the thought of Louis’ quote involved: “We reached the Mediterranean. I wanted those waters to be blue, but they were black, nighttime waters, and how I suffered then, straining to recall the color that in my youth I had taken for granted.”
I dunno why, but it seemed fun to do. Sorry for the monologue, but I just thought it’d be fun to share. I will also do the re-imagining of costumes of other characters!
Wow! It’s lovely, I think Sandy Powell would be pleased, Claudia would adore it. Nice tribute to the quote from the book! The glitter for the glittering waves? Black beads for contrast, the morbid touching on the lively aspects, since they are undead.
Look, I know I got several of these, and was very flattered…
Send this to the 12 nicest people who you know or seem to have a good heart. If you get five back then you must be pretty awesome! 💖 (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*✧💕✨💜✧
But as I’m trying to spread the love and send these out, myself, I feel bad that I can’t send them to everyone. I’m only human. I only have so much free time. And I feel bad bc I think messages like these inevitably make ppl feel left out when they see them flying around and they don’t receive any 😛
I mean sending them to the “nicest” people? or “seem to have a good heart”? What does that mean to ppl who don’t receive any? Who defines “nicest” and “good heart”?
So this is why my old policy for these kinds of messages was to answer privately and not resend them around, and tbh, I should probably have kept to that. I’ve sent out a ton of these now and I feel guilty that I haven’t sent out more.
Please don’t feel bad if you don’t receive these from me or anyone else, and don’t feel pressured to send them along, they were probably started by someone with friendly intentions in mind. “The road to hell is paved with good intentions,” as they say.
If you want to keep the positivity going, send someone an ask that you write yourself, like, “I love your art!” or “I dig your aesthetic!” then add 💖 (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*✧💕✨💜✧ bc it’s cute.
ok well my long since 2k17 October journey to find that one nun!louis is finally over bc guess who recently found the blessed photoshop saved onto an old email account?? m e (i can’t believe i saved it, but then again, i can)
It’s right here, for people to enjoy, but allow me to stress that this is not my work. I do not know who made this, and I wish I could give proper credit where its due.If the creator would like me to take it down or credit them officially, I’ll gladly do so. No fuss and no hard feelings! I’d just really like to share this piece of art that made my life that much better and thank whoever did it! Bc, damn, you are a genius.
i mean just check it
Who is responsible for this??? So we can praise you???
i was just kinda toying around with facial expressions and then suddenly noticed that one of them looked like that cat at knifepoint meme??? and i mean what’s more hannibal than loving the fact that you’re being threatened with a blade
I-want-my-IWTV
