ADGGKIYRWVNIITG THIS IS AWESOME! First Of All Thanks For This Reply It Made Me Extremely Happy!!

So, do you remember that art poll, a couple months ago, where you asked to see a Greek pottery-style Dors?

Well, here she finally is!

(Some commentary under the cut. Feel free to skip, but if you like the drawing please like, leave a comment or reblog! It means the world to me 💓)

Well, after almost ten hours of work... here it is! My aim was to only use black and red/ocre-ish color used in Ancient Greek pottery, which turned out for what is basically a second attempt! In terms of drawing style though, I steered towards another direction and, for the pose and clothes, I drew inspiration from a 1797 painting of Clio, the Muse of History. This reference just seemed fair to me: after all, Dors being a historian is one of her most prominent character traits, and a lovely one at that. The Muse's traditional attributes of tablet and stylus, pictured in the reference portrait, fit her character so I decided to keep them. The laurel crown was also referenced from the painting and, although it's not traditional, I kept it mostly because I associate Dors with leaf and/or flower patterns. After all, she's the Gift of Spring! I also decided to give one of her drapes a striped pattern, to recall her nickname, "The Tiger Woman". Last but not least, I decided to play around with shadows a bit, mostly on the draperies. Certainly not something you can find on pottery, but nevertheless a nice touch.

Congrats if you've made it so far! I hope you've enjoyed this piece, and I'd love to hear your thoughts about it.

Soooo uh. Guess who's back Rambling!

And Today I'm offering an illustration about the character Red Summer, from Asimov's "Lucky Starr and the Moons of Jupiter"! This started as a joke between me and my sister after I showed her this color Palette and it stopped being a Joke the more and More I worked on it. It was a really fun time, especially working with the shadows using the levels on Multiply

Toh we can make up a lot of stuff and it can be extremely funny

Dors is such a funny subject to talk about because Asimov wrote her in such a way that, especially physically speaking, you forget she's a robot. But then you remember and questions starts popping in your head like mushrooms after the rain.

Hari: Do you think the Angel got to explain their thesis?

Daneel: I think they actually got more than one degree
