🌿🐑McHarrison Bucolic/Mythological AU🐑🌿
If Mclennon did Pyramus and Thisbe.
But listen, hear me out- McHarrison play as Endymion and Selene in Greek mythology.
Paul as a shepherd boy and George as a moon god since he played the moon in their Pyramus and Thisbe skit. But I also feel like George works well as a dryad nymph💖
PREMISE IDEA:
I could just make a pretty scene where Paul falls asleep tired from a day in herding sheep. He decides to take a nap under a tree unaware that it was a nymph who watched over him while he worked everyday.
One day George the nymph was feeling bold , instead of watching him while hiding among the trees, he went near the fences to get to meet him.
But hesitated when Paul looked in his direction so George immediately transformed to a tree so he wouldn't be caught.
I was getting inspired with pastoral and romanticist literature and paintings. This is just a character sheet , and mostly headcanons for the story.
Well, not really a story, more like a premise idea with glimpses of scenarios and ambiguous plotline. I was thinking of it being a combination of A Midsummer Night's Dream, myths like Pomona / Vertumnus, and Endymion. I came upon two poems that suit these two:
"The Passionate Shepherd to his Love" by Christopher Marlowe &
"The Nymph's reply to the Shepherd" by Walter Raleigh
I gained an appreciation towards Pre-Raphaelite and Rococo art because I just love the quaint and idyllic atmosphere. The French and Dutch masters are my most favorite. The way the French portray the countryside are so pretty and romanticised. Whereas the Dutch focused on actual folk art showing the daily lives of farmers.
The Pre-Raphaelites make forestlife look magical also. Favorite painters are Pierre Auguste Renoir, Pierre Auguste Cot, Peter Paul Rubens, Moritz Stifter, Vigee Le Brun etc.
I'm hoping to really get into drawing more so I could started with coming up of the actual composition for these characters.
Not really happy how the flowers and foliage turned out for the nymph. I suck at drawing leaves and plants😭
