Robert wasn’t ready to say goodbye yet. He was staring at me, trying to understand the individual in front of him—was I a friend, was I an enemy, could I be trusted, would he have to play games with me, what was my story exactly. He wasn’t offended or angry—just curious. I made a motion with my hands: Is there something else?

Checchina and the Alchemist

This was supposed to be my #oc_tober entry for Halloween but life got in the way, just like it got in the way of me starting to work on another short comic in my oc universe, this time centered on this spooky guy. Let's hope the planets are finally aligned just enough.

Ser Hyle gave the big horse an admiring look as he was handing his reins to Brother Gillam. "A handsome beast." Brother Narbert sighed. "The Seven send us blessings, and the Seven send us trials. Handsome he may be, but Driftwood was surely whelped in hell. When we sought to harness him to a plow he kicked Brother Rawney and broke his shinbone in two places. We had hoped gelding might improve the beast's ill temper, but... Brother Gillam, will you show them?" Brother Gillam lowered his cowl. Underneath he had a mop of blond hair, a tonsured scalp, and a bloodstained bandage where he should have had an ear. A Feast For Crows, Brienne VI

Happy late halloween @haughtyflaki! Here is novice!Sandor, apparently the only one who can get "Driftwood" to behave.

Mariolina at 8 years old (1779), 17 years old (1788), 21 years old (1792), and at 30 years old with her daughter Bianca, aged 5 (1801)

Alvise at 7 years old with his cat Arcadio (1771), at 25 years old (1789), 31 years old (1795), 37 years old (1801)

So since I piled up an insane amount of references for my oc stuff (my pinterest algorithm will never recover), I thought I would share the ones I actually ended up using in my mini comic Market Day!

The opening scene is a direct homage to the country scenes Giandomenico Tiepolo painted in the mid to late 1700s. I always go back to Tiepolo not just because he painted the scene that defined the vibe and gave a title to my oc project, but also because I'm under the impression he was one of the few in that era who were painting a somewhat realistic depiction of country life rather than falling back on whimsical, romanticized tropes. Tiepolo's scenes still have an air of pastoral serenity but his pesant woman are stocky and muscular from hard work, their skin tan; the men are similarly work-hardened and often barefooted. I simplified the costumes a bit because I wanted something I could draw across several panels without going crazy, but the general idea is there.

The landscapes were, quite simply, referenced from when I go on my little biking or running outings. Using the area where I grew up and still live in as the setting for this story has been fun, and allowed me to look at familiar places with a different eye. It still maintains rural characteristics, but it's quite industrialized and the population is four times the size it was in 1789 when this story is set; it's interesting to try and imagine how it was over 200 years ago. This is another instance where I feel taking art from the period at face value might be tricky -- there are definitely visual tropes landscape artists were falling back on when depicting the countryside, often bordering on the capriccio.

We're a bit luckier with cityscapes, and there's a few 18th century artworks depicting the towns and settlements along the river Brenta which goes down from the north of the region to the south of Venice. I didn't draw a specific town (though I "know" where this is supposed to be placed) but mixed references and also was a bit surprised to see that a lot of buildings that survived to this day could come from that era (or it's a style that kept being used with little variation into the early 20th century).

Both the catcaller's boat and the floating mills were medieval inventions that carried on, pretty much unchanged, respectively until the mid 19th and the early 20th century, which is pretty rad since it means we have actual photographs of those.

That's all I think! I don't know who else will be interested in these background details but it's pretty exciting to me to get to research these bits of material culture.
