I had so much fun testing this project, just making stuff and trying out media and being messy and fun. I just feel really happy making this work because the aesthetic is my FAVOURITE thing, but also the messages in there are really my vibe too just in a soft, subtle way.
I can tell there's parts of this that aren't great, like the tops of the trees is kinda non-descript and the mountainy bits are a bit flat but I just love the feel going on. Like the vibe of two people lighting fires for each other with no description is nice to me. Also the colours!!!! I feel like I've never done any this cool with colour/gouache before. These smokey green skies and BRIGHT red fires and stark white moons just feel nice to me. This is obvs just sketchbook work so it's not perfect or tested or roughed out but I just had fun trying it out. I feel like these ideas aren't super fleshed out, but something about the raw 'i'm trying to communicate magic' vibe is really good. Also I feel like this work, because it's so me and so important to me, is comin out really different to my usual stuff. like not that i didn't care before, but there's just more love in there. this blog post wasn't really about anything just a quick chat.
