leyendecker malevolent study. once again

"For a moment or two I could see nothing, as the shadow of a cloud obscured St. Mary’s Church and all around it. Then as the cloud passed I could see the ruins of the abbey coming into view; and as the edge of a narrow band of light as sharp as a sword-cut moved along, the church and the churchyard became gradually visible. Whatever my expectation was, it was not disappointed, for there, on our favourite seat, the silver light of the moon struck a half-reclining figure, snowy white."

jc leyendecker's 'the sleuth' (1906) study, featuring wang baoxiang in an extremely specific au where he's a very old vampire, he travels to new york at the dawn of the 20th century, does accounting for a triad out of boredom and very predictably falls in love with a terrible horrible rude ratboy

raven & lloyd in l.c. leyendecker's "couple descending a staircase". why not!

so after watching a couple ryan benjamin vids about inking i decided to give his style of inking a shot, and it's pretty good? i think i did some of it wrong though so my lines came out a bit chunky in places... just takes practice i guess?

(please do not ask for the context of this i added the background after i finished the piece and i have no clue what he'd be doing that would cause stuff to rain from the sky)

I'm reading more about matador costumes for research, and like, ethically and emotionally, I think bullfighting is pretty fucked, but god...everything about the aesthetic of it is unfortunately really sick

Also losing my mind about this:

Anyways, very obsessed w the level of detail and significance every part of costume has
