My Current Main Wip Is Frustrating Me Somewhat, So I Painted This Quick, One-layer Doodle As A Distraction

My current main wip is frustrating me somewhat, so I painted this quick, one-layer doodle as a distraction and I might as well post it

Just Felt Like Painting A Girl In A Vyshyvanka (a Type Of Embroidered Shirt).

Just felt like painting a girl in a vyshyvanka (a type of embroidered shirt).

Hello,

It's been a while since I last posted something on here. As someone with close family in Ukraine (although luckily all of them are currently safe) the last month has been rather emotionally taxing on me. Because of that I am afraid that my posts might continue to be quite sparse in the coming weeks. I hope you understand and have a nice day/night 💙💛

I Read That Were About To Get A Movie In The Coming Year, So I Decided To Rewatch The Series, Which In

I read that we’re about to get a movie in the coming year, so I decided to rewatch the series, which in turn led to a new bout of fan-brainrot.

Anyway, here’s some fanart of everybody’s favourite Medicine Seller. I also took the opportunity to mess around with the colour choices, as I have recently found my art lacking in that regard. I am not entirely happy with the result, but it looks decent enough to post.

St. Sebastian And St. Irene Of Rome

St. Sebastian and St. Irene of Rome

The motif of Saint Sebastian perforated by arrows is in itself quite common, but I found far less depictions of the scene that followed, involving the widowed Saint Irene and her servant rescuing him from this martyrdom (only for him to be martyred again later lol), so I decided to try my hand at it.

Besides, I wanted to paint something with more anatomical detail, as I have been quite lacking behind in doing actual studies and involving it in an actual painting makes anatomy more interesting to me.

I feel it necessary to note that I myself am not religious, but growing up in a historically somewhat catholic area and having an interest in religions and mythologies must've imbued me with a certain interest in the imagery, I guess.

As Previously Mentioned, I Am Kinda Going Through A Greek Mythology Phase Right Now, Which Led Me To

As previously mentioned, I am kinda going through a Greek Mythology Phaseâ„¢ right now, which led me to creating this painting depicting Klytaimnestra after the murder of her husband, Agamemnon. The snake is in reference to a dream she had, in which she gave birth to and nursed a venomous snake/dragon instead of a child, which is seen as a prophecy of her death at the hands of her own son, Orestes.

I decided to do a bit of research into historical Mycenaean Greek dress, seeing as the Epic Cycle and the events directly thereafter are most likely set in the mid to late Bronze Age and as such the style of clothing and architecture would differ considerably from that of the later Archaic, Classical and Hellenistic Periods that is often associated with Greco-Roman mythology.

Then again, I'm not a Historian, Classicist, or anything of the sort, I'm just some random sixteen year old with too much free time on their hands, so I make no promises of accuracy. There are also certain elements that I deliberately left inaccurate, either because it didn't fit the colour scheme, such as the fresco on the wall, which should have had several yellow elements that just looked a bit muddy when I tried to add them, or because I was too lazy to paint them in intricate detail, such as the skirt, which should consist of several layers of different fabric atop each other, but I didn't want to paint all that.

Said skirt is inspired by John Colliers painting also depicting Klytaimnestra after the murder.

Anyway, sorry for the long, nerdy ramble of text, I hope you like the painting and have a nice day :)
