Tiny bit messy because my marker died half way but I tried to sqeeze out the last bits out of it.
Pose and composition was referenced from a vintage Vogue cover.
I'm a few months late, but I've been wanting to paint Verona since I started reading Pale. I just want her to be happy! To do art and collect weird books and chill out with Julette! Had a bit too much fun decorating Verona's desk. I'll point out two things for free: a tiny portrait of Lucy, and a postcard from Avery.
These are some designs, sketches and tests I did before I begun my piece There's An Unusual Guest In Our House for TRSB. I'll be honest, I had SO much fun with (almost) every aspect of the creation of this piece. But mainly just figuring out Thranduil gown and how it's going to be. For as much as I like how he's dressed in the movies I DO get tired of drawing the same outfits over and over again. And I honestly think his move design is missing some green, but that's a whole 'nother topic.
One thing that I'm just noticing is that the gold neckline in some of these is much lower than in the final piece, and i do like it lower... Hmm, maybe next time.
Thank's again to @scary-grace for choosing and writing for this piece. I just CANNOT wait to read it!!
