Some sketches of Sarah, the main character of my horror novel Cold Blood. You can see wips of one I decided to turn one into a more polished art piece.
The design of her hairstyle has its importance, since it is showing her status and state of mind at a certain point of the story.
The two intertwined braids are made in remembrance of her husband who disappeared, at some point. It is showing the influence spending a time of her life in Russia had on her, since during the XIXth century, married women wore two braids as a status symbol. Celibate ones wore one braid and women with lose hair were often considered as witches or women of "lose morality".

A floral portrait about Victoria, one of the characters from my novel Cold Blood.
She is a young lady living during the victorian era. She has a lot of knowledge about healing and plants. She wants to become a doctor, even though it is not an option for a woman in her society. Victoria is a key character at the beginning of the story. She is helping to connect the dots on numerous things for a lot of different other characters.

𝐒𝐲𝐦𝐛𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐦 • 𝐋𝐨𝐭𝐮𝐬 : purity, elegance, self-fulfillment of the soul. Also linked to her relation to medicine. • 𝐌𝐢𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐚 : sensibility, sweetness, safety. Also representing the secret love Victoria has for someone.

Here is the 1st "Draw this in your style" (#dtiyschallenge) I am organizing with this illustration ! You can tag me at #esclarmondeartstyle to show me your artwork. No time limit, just have fun ! 😉 This is a floral portrait of Sarah, the main character of my horror novel Cold Blood. She is represented around aconites, which have numerous symbolics in accordance with her (see down below). It is showing the ambivalence of this character. A glacial beauty both capable of doing merciless kills, as much as protecting others in need. Sarah is wearing a silver victorian ball gown, as at the beginning of the 3rd arc of the story, taking place in London. At that moment, she is decided to take revenge against her old enemies, who murdered her mother and kidnapped her when she was younger.
𝐒𝐲𝐦𝐛𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐦 • 𝐀𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐞 : revenge, danger, crime, death, chivalry, mediumnity (plant related to the goddess Hecate and the underworld in Greek mythology) [🎵] Sympathy for Lady Vengeance - The Angel

Hello everyone and welcome on my Tumblr !
I am Laura and my universe is turning around fantasy, witchcraft and symbolism. I love creating universes giving a message about humanity, painting portraits, flowers and giving life to terrifying monsters as much as cute, adorable things.
I can do digital painting on Photoshop, as much as sculpting in 3D or doing traditional art with ink or watercolor.
I am writting an horror novel called Cold Blood and I will share some of my work around it on this Tumblr.
You can also find some of my artworks from few years ago here : https://viseniya-art.tumblr.com/.
To present myself further more, what is better than a good old self-portrait ? I went for something reminding of the ambiance of forests and nature, which are places I feel connected to. For the flowers, I chose mandrake and woody nightshade, which are both related to witchcraft, a subject that I am passionate about. They also represent things that are meaningful to me (see symbolism below). I represented myself in one of my favorite red dresses, because I like to wear this color for luck and action. I associate it with life force and movement. The style is also a little hommage to my love for old Hollywood type of glamorous and elegant style.
𝐒𝐲𝐦𝐛𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐦 • 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐫𝐚𝐤𝐞 : Good fortune, wealth, power, prosperity, magic. • 𝐖𝐨𝐨𝐝𝐲 𝐧𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐝𝐞 : Truth, protection. [🎵] Det Hører Til Skogen - Osi and the Jupiter
