Hiiiii everybody
I'm back with some art!!!!!
Yennefer of Vengerberg - my interpretation
I've been looking through my old paintings lately, and I found this one. It's quite rare for me (as probably is for the most of the artists) to like my old paintings months after I painted them. But I still enjoy this one.
In my head, Yennefer's beauty might be comparable to Hedy Lamarr's - I used her photo as a reference for the body and hairstyle. And since I am a sucker for everything ~old~ I tried to paint this one as if it was an old photo made at the beginning of 20th century.
I love the Witcher book series so much that I'm thinking about revisiting it in my paintings. Maybe in the future I would add some ethnic motives, inspired by Polish folk culture. Why not?
Got this wonderful picture of Judy Garland at a shop in the town I’m visiting!! Dated in the 1930’s - I am absolutely in love with this 😍

I can be a little old-fashioned sometimes.
HEY ARTISTS!
Do you design a lot of characters living in not-modern eras and you’re tired of combing through google for the perfect outfit references? Well I got good news for you kiddo, this website has you covered! Originally @modmad made a post about it, but her link stopped working and I managed to fix it, so here’s a new post. Basically, this is a costume rental website for plays and stage shows and what not, they have outfits for several different decades from medieval to the 1980s. LOOK AT THIS SELECTION:
OPEN ANY CATEGORY AND OH LORDY–
There’s a lot of really specific stuff in here, I design a lot of 1930s characters for my ask blog and with more chapters on the way for the game it belongs to I’m gonna be designing more, and this website is going to be an invaluable reference. I hope this can be useful to my other fellow artists as well! :)
