I just want to say that I truly love the art you use on your account. I don’t see many people using works crafted in the Neoclassicism, Romanticism, Renaissance ages, etc. (I probably described it wrong, but I hope it still makes sense.) I’m a nerd for a lot of older things—novels, art, anything really—so seeing other people like it/use it, especially on Tumblr, really makes me happy! Also, to add on, do you know if you could do some tutorial on how you made the edit on the “La Naissance de Vénus, William-Adolphe Bouguereau, 1879, oil on canvas” post? I’ve been wanting to get into making those kinds of graphics myself, but a lot of the stuff I normally see on Tumblr that are free to use isn’t always my cup of tea, but I really like how that photo was formed (the small shakes and light suddenly coming and the text). And like to do it myself! So, so sorry this ask is long, it's a gift and a curse to be such a rambler,,,
Firstly, thank you :) I am a massive nerd too.
My enjoyment for all aspects of art is something I find a lot of joy in letting bleed into everything I create !! and classical art is very dear to me.
I unfortunately cannot provide a tutorial for that as it was a long time ago and a lot of my process of everything I make is very . “Fart around and find out” but ! I used capcut !! I’ve made a few things in a similar style in the past and for me all I keep in mind is that it’s more like a video edit than a graphic ? If that makes sense. I have a lot of experience as an editor so I just use that but then convert it to gif format , it’s something I wish more people in the community would use because I adore the effect and its a cool way to show multiple images in one
Also !! Apologies for inactivity, I will try to get to requests and post more often when I can
