WIP: Cleopatra Crowley
Added 2022-03-08 16:00:06 +0000 UTCI finally, after MONTHS, like... six friggin months decided to get brave and start coloring this. This is my first ever repaint (Cleopatra by John William Waterhouse), and I'm really happy with it so far. It helps to have a guide right in front of you, though I'm having to wing it on the hair and snake. Oy, the snake. I don't think I'm done with the hair yet. But I wanted to share the progress with you guys, because this is gonna take me a little while.
Maybe I love this because Crowley looks so angry. I'm doing a lot better with anger, I don't feel like helpless to it anymore, but here's a weird thing: when you feel a negative emotion for a long time, you start to like it. You get used to it, the familiarity is comfortable. Sometimes I think Who am I without the anger? I'm a better person, but like any addiction, there is a strange awful desire to experience it again. Drawing it out is a good stopgap. Methadone fanart.
