kudos to @i-want-my-iwtv for revealing the secret of Claudia’s Eye Color. thanks!
I have another version without this lighting but my fall-back is always to make shit glow in my artwork so I guess this is the version I’m uploading!
Sorry, I’m so nasty- I was listening to my playlist for them on repeat.
Erase my comments and I’m going to come after you.
Millennia ago, @i-want-my-iwtv asked me to draw a little Armand…
#perfect just perfect!
I needed a sufficiently intimidating audience to practice my conference speech about ancient art. I decided that an immortal Roman qualifies for the job 😉
For anyone who needs a sufficiently intimidating audience to practice your conference speech about ancient art or any other topic:
tfw no bfI’m just saying, Nicolas drank himself to sleep every single night after Lestat disappeared.
I’ve been incredibly nostalgically feeling Vampire Chronicles lately since I’m reading Prince Lestat (which I’m actually enjoying & haven’t finished yet) and where there is VC feelings, there is feelings for Armand, the love of my life.
It’s nice to be able to draw him close to how I see him in my head. I didn’t have the tools to do that at 13.
So awhile back I had a giveaway post and STILL have not filled that giveaway bc it became a larger giveaway… Here’s the progress so far. Ya like? It will be worth the wait!
Hit the jump for more info including how the embossing works it is so cool!
As you may be aware I wanted to include postcards and so I asked @ashetray if I could use their fanart for that, which I had commissioned, so that was all good but then I wanted to add my i-want-my-iwtv flair on there somehow. Adding a gold foil logo seemed like a good idea but those are so expensive! Printers start at $400 for this fancy shit.
Manual gold embossing is much more cost effective, just get a stamp of your design (mine was $35), the embossing powder ($10 I think?), the heat gun ($25), and the embossing ink ($6, but you can use any color ink).
1. Supplies. 2. getting the embossing ink on tha stamp.
3. Embossing ink comes out almost clear. 4. Dump that embossing powder!
5. Really cover that sucker, 6. and then roll the paper so the powder collects so you can dump it back in the container bc it’s still perfectly usable.
7. The powder stuck to the ink! MAGIC. 8. BLAST THAT SUCKER W/ THE HEAT GUN.
9. BOOM. DONE. SO EASY.
this is a not a redo (since I still like the picture) but a tribute to the first Armand picture I ever posted here. that was a few days shy of two years ago, so here’s ya boy Armand … your angle or yuor devil…..
