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

All that remains

Orestes and Erinys

A bit over a month ago I had to give a short presentation on Aischylos‘ Oresteia as part of my coursework and reading it gave me the idea for this piece.

Specifically, it is referencing lines 1057-1058 of the Libation Bearers, where, for the first time, Orestes is seeing the Furies.

(The text does explicitly describe blood dripping from the Furies’ eyes, but when I noticed this, the idea of a blood-covered face had already developed, and I chose to keep it. Also I didn’t have the time or patience to paint more than two figures, so I suppose you can imagine the rest of the Furies somewhere off-screen or something)

🌟The Magician🌟

(yes, we have apparently become pretentious enough to title our paintings)

I thought I might do something magic-related for Halloween, so here you go.

It's been several months since I picked up watercolours, due to this parts of this illustration are a bit rough, but I am low key kinda proud of the composition.

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.
