"if i was orpheus i would simply not turn around" yes you would. if you were orpheus and you loved eurydice, you would. to love someone is to turn around. to love someone is to look at them. whichever version of the myth — he hears her stumble, he can't hear her at all, he thinks he's been tricked — he turns around because he loves her. that's why it's a tragedy. because he loves her enough to save her. because he loves her so much he can't save her. because he will always, always turn around. "if i was orpheus i would simply —" you wouldn't be orpheus. you wouldn't be brave enough to walk into the underworld and save the person you love. be serious

The ✨✨BIG✨✨ post

About all the flowers and stuff, starring this piece of mine. I’ve also included some wips ✨

As was mentioned previously, I became obsessed with flower language, and the person, who commissioned this piece, is a fan of it as well, so we happen to have a lovely collaboration with an unholy (for me personally) amount of tiny details and (not so) hidden messages.

Thanks again @thecheshiredragon for fleshing out this piece with me!

Source used: Language of flowers by Greenaway, Kate Additionaly I’ve purchased Floriography by Jessica Roux, which is smaller but has an index by meanings and also some bouquets and flower pairing suggestions I’ll leave links in the replies

So, not to waste any more time-

First of all,✨THEM ✨

You can notice that Sergei and Strahd have different lines, especially on their hair - Sergei has more rounded lines, while Strahd is all sharp’n’edgy.

A quick demonstration of the lineart reworking process. That “different line type” idea wasn’t there from the begginig! I guess that’s my favourite thing about working on a big commissions - I have plenty of time to come up with new ideas and implement them.

White lilac on the Sergei - youthful innocence Meadow saffron - my best days are past

Yep, the white lilac is blue, because I really wanted to draw Sergei in white shirt, because, you know, the INNOCENCE.

He, who’ll follow you into the darkness

Several things I love about this half: while Sergei walks in the light, Strahd has already stepped into the shadow, and Bucefalus is awaiting him there.

Globe amaranth in the tapestry - immortality and unfading love.

Yep, shadows on the right weren’t the only foreshadowing here.

He, who’ll die tomorrow

One of my favorite detail: the knight on the tapestry stabs the monster because good always defeats evil, but the shadows tell us it will be otherwise this time.

Mourning bride on the left - I have lost all Gum Cistus on the right - I shall die tomorrow

It’s more of a happy coincedence, but I love that the color of flowers matches the colour of the brothers’ clothes.

All this toxicity~

Book said that vines stand for intoxication, but I never found out, if it means any particular vines, or anything creeping in general, so I went with some undefining vines, and also made them dead for the sake of even MORE drama. The pattern on the carpet is also a vine.

When we decided upon the color palette, I also suggested a green carpet as an option. Some sources interpret green as a color of jealousy, hopelessness, and/or a silent acceptance of what is happening. But we agreed that red one is more of a “Zarovich thing”.

And then there are these thing

Honestly, I started this piece without any particular idea, so I randomly threw some roses and kinda-oak leaves, and this is also a Strahd’s throne reference.

But after finishing the whole picture, I looked up the book, and it told me that oak stands for bravery, and roses, of course, have a ton of meanings depending on their color and species, but the common meaning is love, and I think that “Love and Bravery” do sound like something Zarovich family would use in their heraldic.

And the column piece was inspired by the decotive stone slabs exposition from our local museum, but I don’t have any proper photos from there. I kinda was wandering there, saw one of the stones and was like “damn, I want smth similar for the columns in my current commission”

✨ ✨ ✨

That’s all for today, hope you liked this post. Let me know if you’d like to see more of me explaining my own artwork and low-key fangirling it ✨

I want to see a work of fiction that reverses the "vampires are snobby upper class, werewolves are brutish lower class" stereotypes
