Description My second sketch commission for of her characters King Arnou and Queen Gwyneth. Gwyn I really felt for while drawing this, because she gets a SERIOUSLY raw deal-- not only has her husband, whom she adores, been in love with his old flame for their entire marriage, she's had six miscarriages because she's being systematically poisoned by the king's advisor, and the king is under pressure to divorce her for her inability to produce children. And she just has to grin and bear this. Or weep a little.

Poor both of them, really. Neither one is getting an ideal situation out of this.

Arnou and Gwyneth ยฉ *windyautumnmoon .

*Suupashi said it all, he does look kinda like "I'm really sorry for you, dear, but there's nothing I can do". And the whole scene looks so beautiful!
And I too felt really sorry for Gwyneth. ;__;


.... but isn't it just aaaawesome to screw up our characters as much as we can? Ok probably nobody else thinks like this, gotta go

Lol, no, I understand, I spent like half my day explaining to =Lumaris how Trean and Zarael's relationship ended up screwing her up for centuries, and how her issues screwed up Farael... IT'S A BIG CYCLE OF SCREWED UP. SO I FEEL YOU.

Actually, possibly because of that, this was a really cool one to do. I have a serious soft spot for the babies that get a really raw deal, so it was a pleasure doing poor Gwyn. Even stately, dignified elf queens need love.

Thank youuuu. Poor her. I like the hand that's gripping the armrest, but the other one, less so, I think. I'm really glad you like it overall!

Suupashi [2010-05-13 18:36:23 +0000 UTC]

oh blegh. you captured that apologetic sort of air to this perfectly. he seems sorry, but not sorry enough you know? Her expression, the quiet, sort of twisting agony, just.. gawd.

I really like the way hes sort of leaning it, the curve of his body. Its just something that really stands out for me here. wonderful, albeit sad work.

temiel In reply to Suupashi [2010-05-14 13:22:28 +0000 UTC]

Agh, thanks so much. :3 I'm really glad you think I did, this felt like a very sad picture as I was drawing it. I wanted it to be at least somewhat apparent that he doesn't really LOVE her, or else he'd be more demonstrative in the comforting. It's not that he doesn't care about her, since they've been married for 20 years and how can you NOT come to care about someone you're in that situation with, but he just can't really love her. Very sad indeed.

You really did capture that m'dear, that bittersweetness is very, very apparent.

Thank you! I'm glad you think I did... it's definitely a sad story, with this one I was really inspired by the whole incredibly tragic... thing. It's been a while since I've done SADPIC.

What a sad story but the emotion comes through so well on this picture. The forehead kiss is such a tender and comforting kiss. I feel so bad for both of them T.T

Thank you! Yeah, I just love forehead kisses, I was so glad when *windyautumnmoon gave me that as a jumping-off point. I feel bad for them too.

Thank you so much! I love lines, they're definitely what I'd consider one of my artistic strengths. I have almost no patience for painting, which is why when I see it well-done I always appreciate it.

temiel In reply to TheCursemaster [2010-05-14 13:51:01 +0000 UTC]

Baw, thanks. And yeah, that's definitely a thing in English, I know what you mean and I'm really glad you think I'm good at it. I'm REALLY focused on conveying emotion through facial expression and body language... I think what I figured out my last year of art school is that I'm really not interested in conveying the "essence" of an emotion the way you're "supposed" to as an artist, I love seeing that emotion through a human filter and how the emotion affects the character.

Wow, that turned into a ramble. I'm sorry!
