Your Recent Jb‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️ Thank You For

hello!!! first of all i absolutely adore your art, i kinda use it to motivate me to draw 😅😅 i wanted to ask you if you’d want to draw hotd and the x files characters in the future!! have an amazing day

hello! I'm glad to hear!! that's very kind :)

I haven't seen the X-files, so unless something possesses me to watch it someday, probably not.

Unfortunately, same with HOTD. I only watched season 1, but from what I've seen I'm not that interested in watching season 2. If I ever did fanart, it would probably be of the book versions. I like depictions of book rhaenyra

princess saera targaryen, from a fresco in the sept of a motherhouse in king’s landing, commemorating an endowment by queen alysanne and daughters, c. 83 AC

my gorgeous commission by @shripscapi! take a peek under the cut for the historical references she reworked so beautifully.

i have always maintained targaryen fashion should be byzantine inspired, and that was my request to liesl. she works so brilliantly with historical costuming, and in her portraits of renaissance fashions captures the sense of a contemporary portrait - and that’s what i wanted here, the spirit of a real historical work of art. i sent her two images of mosaics of byzantine empresses, theodora from the basilica of san vitale in ravenna (left) and irene of hugary from the hagia sophia in constantinople (right). both commemorate donations to churches, and the foundation of a religious institution at the height of the realm’s prosperity under jaehaerys and alysanne’s rule and a demonstration of good will between crown and faith after the adoption of the doctrine of exceptionalism is something alysanne as queen consort absolutely might do.

as byzantine empresses reshaped the face of imperial constantinople as patrons of its religious and civic architecture, it is fun to imagine the continuing interactions of the targaryens shaping their capital city. the women are included in wider family groupings - imagine alysanne and alyssa and maegelle etc offscreen - communicating the female face of imperial/royal power. here is saera at 16, on the verge of being brutally discarded as incommensurate with that correct feminine image, as indeed not a few byzantine princesses were. exactly the vibe of a lovely and haunting historical document of a woman’s life in the snare of power i’ve encountered in many a museum or palace that i was going for, which makes the story of saera’s disgrace resonate so strongly.

your art is wonderful! i really like how you draw Brienne! Your Shireen is the cutest thing i've ever seen ahh!

thank u!! there are a lot of characters I like but brienne stays #1 💪 and shireen is so sweet I had to draw her <3

I don’t usually share my oc stuff on tumblr but I like this one and I worked hard on it so I am going to anyways <3

I think I am going to be so brave and maybe share some of my own sketches later. Maybe

Could you draw Patchface please? Your art is incredible and I think he’s the scariest character in asoiaf 😵‍💫

SUCH an excellent suggestion.. drawing patchface hadn’t even crossed my mind but this was a really fun challenge :)

Hello! I'm a big fan, would I have permission to use a piece of your art as a profile picture (with credit of course)? Thanks!

hello! i’ve answered this before but I should probably update it since i’ve started taking commissions:

in general, that’s fine! however, with commissioned pieces i’d ask that you refrain for the sake of the commissioners.

do you sell prints, i would love to have your brienne on my wall 🥹

I do not :( but if you want you are welcome to make a print/take it to a print shop yourself!
