DEMIAN By Hermann Hesse

DEMIAN by Hermann Hesse

“He too was a tempter. He too was a link to the second. The evil world with which I no longer wanted to have anything to do.” - Kim Namjoon on Blood, Sweat and Tears MV

Still BTS related but having a break from the boys. I found myself experimenting again with softer palette and waterbrush. 

I read the novel pretty hurriedly because I was still on family business (a bad idea, for real) and skimming some sentences, so pardon me for inaccuracies on my depiction of Demian and Sinclair here. But in fact no matter what the descriptions are I can’t help but keep imagining these two exactly like how I drew them in this piece! :’) 

The faces, haircolors, skintones, and the outfits (perhaps I should have draw them in the same uniform but my imagination is stubborn enough) is a perfect depiction of them in my head and I’m so satisfied with this work. I was about to draw Abraxas behind them but in the end I chose for a simple book cover-ish designs. Also I scraped off the idea of drawing their forehead signs. I like them looking like normal human just like how they are in the earlier chapters.  Even until now I do relate the most to Sinclair, and I hope that somehow I will be able to have a meeting with my own Demian (and his mother), perhaps with different adventures. It’s always nice to meet someone who is your “kind”, right?

Singularity, Serendipity, Euphoria.

I have no words to express my love for these three songs of our vocal line. I literally listen to Serendipity in the morning, Euphoria when I’m surrounded by joyous feeling inside, and Singularity at night. Can’t wait to hear the one sung by Jin. First fanart in 2018. Do not repost. Thank you Namjoon for your wonderful, golden lyrics throughout the time.

Jimin’s face studies! Tracing from photos taken by his fansites and official medias! I’m weak from drawing him TT TT he looks so amazing even if it’s only with the outlines!!

I'm nervous about the last piece of Namjoon in haute couture study. It's actually finished but I'm still quite uncertain about the whole tone and mood. I even kinda screwed up when re-editing. Thankfully I have four back up files. I'm very open to your comment and suggestion if you feel like something looks wrong or odd! I'll post it around 2-3 days from now on ♡

BTS Deadly Sins AU (previews)

These are drawing studies, actually, as some of you can see I'm referencing their exact faces and angles from footages/photoshoots. It's for drafts only, because I'm donna redraw all of them with my style. It's safe to say that I can call these as previews, though, since I won't stray too far away from the scenes I'm already trying to portray. Of course, these are still based on the amazing fanfic "Welcome Home" by @sheepishfiction ✨

I have two Jimins because I can't choose which draft I'm going to use, but I think the one where he's laying in bed is considerably proper for his sin (which is Lust). The other illustration of Jimin though, actually connects to Jungkook's one! It's the scene where they first met at the bar. Yet, I don't think it properly showcases Jungkook's sin (Pride) as an individual illustration. I will see which part of the fic I can comfortably draw him as his sin.

I already like both drafts of Yoongi (Sloth) and Taehyung (Envy). Will still redraw them though, maybe Yoongi with a bit of slouched position on the floor with fire as his background, and Taehyung's will have a glimpse of other person beside him who managed to catch the tiger plushies while he couldn't.

Hoseok! Gosh I love him the most in the fic, his sin (Anger) suits him so much, which is why I will work hard on his portrayal since the scene where he snapped hard gives me thrill. I will draw more suitable expression for him, the one in the draft is so lacking. I have better ideas on my brain.

Namjoon (Greed) and Seokjin (Gluttony) are, technically, finished, but I want to polish their drawings so it suits my real style. Nothing much will change for these two, unlike others.

That's it for my update. Life's been rough and surprising, and I was sick for half a year, but I managed to catch my muses again! Miss you guys. Will update again later! I wish us all good times in life ❤
