Depression, 20 minutes.
Didn’t feel so well today, didn’t feel like doing something witty or clever.

30 days/30 sketches - challenge, day 3

Love, 30 minutes. Felt like doing something more cheerful after day 2. :) Heavily inspired by the art of Toulouse Lautrec, who is one of my favourite artists ever.

HOW DO YOU ART?  OMFG <3

Father, 15 minutes

This odd and adorable couple passed by the busstop where I was waiting. Sometimes, fathers are the best.

Don’t mind me, I’m just experimenting and have no clue what I do! As… usual I suppose?

Just trying out funky colour-palettes and trying out some new stuff. :)

It is worldbuilding wednesday again!

And because of that I am sort of continuing this “family”theme, I’ve started with Eharon and his parents. This time it’s Yen’s turn, who values her family very much. She got a good relationship to her parents, even though she disagrees with many of their more traditional and conservative opinions. She also has a little brother, for whom she cares, but they never become that close, maybe also because of the age gap. (When he is born, Yen is already 13 years old)
But the one person who sticks with her and she with him almost throughout the whole story, is her adoptive brother Amad. He is the son of good friends of her parents who unfortunately died during a fire that has been started by rebels. So Yen’s parents took him in and raised him instead. He is about the same age as Yen, but she always refers to him as her big brother, because he always stays one head higher than her.
When Amad’s parents died he was pretty traumatized and didn’t speak one word for many months, Yen was the first one to make him laugh after this incident again, and managed to lure him out of his shell. She was always more outgoing and extroverted than Amad, but her positive and energetic attitude began to rub off on him and soon they were inseperable.

A major plot in the story is the rise of a huge corporation that gains a lot more influence with each new chapter, for example in scientific research, politics, economics and warfare and which weakens Yen’s country immensly just so they can progress. No matter the losses on the side of the inhabitants.
When Yen and Amad are introduced in the story, they are anonymously rebelling and fighting against this corporation, and each of them later one takes a different path to help those people who have been victims of this corporation. Amad becomes a military surgeon, Yen a soldier.

Those two mean a lot to each other and wouldn’t hesitate one second to help the other sibling. Even if they are not siblings by blood, they became brother and sister by always being there for each other, by always standing behind each other. They can rely on each other blindly, even if their opinions and strategies sometimes clash and they not always see eye to eye. - They stick together, no matter what.

Oh look, it’s something about those guys again!

Remember this this family portrait?
Since I finished this one I always wanted to do one for Yenaquai’s family as well, because I figured it would be a nice difference to try and depict their subtle interactions and relationships to each other. You know, show a sweeter counterpart to the rather damaged and traumatic environment Eharon had to endure as a child.

I’ve talked about Yen’s family before, her adoptive brother Amad, her brother who is 13 years her junior and how important her family is to her, even though they sometimes drive her crazy and they not always see eye to eye on certain matters. But they stick together no matter what. They are this save haven everybody needs, where you can let yourself fall back and know that somebody will be there for you, without any need for explanation or obligation to do something in return. Doesn’t mean they are the perfect example of a family, sure they have their problems, but which family doesn’t?

I merely wanted to show the warmth and safety of a family in contrast to the fake image of peace I tried to convey in the portray of Eharon’s family. A wanted to show the steadfastness and trust. They will be there, no matter where you go. If you come back, they will be there and they will welcome you home again, for as long as you want them to. :)

I am so in love with this artist right now.  She is amazing. <3
