May Goody - Visual Reference Boards (Patreon)
Content
Hi everybody! For this month's goody, I'm publicly releasing the visual references and moodboards I've made on Pinterest for Blest's world, setting, and characters. I hope this adds a new element to envisioning ShoH and a new dimension to imagining the story--if you wanted to see what I have in mind beyond plain text and the occasional art commission!
Please keep in mind that these visual boards are meant to be viewed holistically, and the characters they focus on are always an amalgamation of the references, not exactly what you see piece-by-piece. Many pins are not direct depiction of the character at all: for many images, they're simply included because of a particular hair style, skin color, outfit, a small detail or accessory, or even just the general vibe/aesthetic/atmosphere/energy/mood of the picture. For many pins, my thought was, "This doesn't look anything like X, but I'm pinning it anyway because it feels like them." If you want clarity on any particular image and what it's supposed to serve as a reference for, please feel free to ask!
Also, Pinterest's way of describing images is awful, so there were one or two times that I got excited to see an image that looked exactly like Riel, only to see that it was fanart of, like, a young AU Tom Riddle/Voldemort glfkjgdlfg. So just ignore any descriptions, I just worked off of everything visually...I'm interested to hear what you think! Enjoy!
(Note: none of this art belongs to me, but rather to the original artist!)
