‘Wring a Faithful Heart’
It’s posting day for the 2022 @grishaversebigbang mini-bang event!
This was for our Etherealnik Eva @oretsov ’s Malina AU 'wring a faithful heart’, inspired by the film 'Sleeping With Other People’ - read the fic here!✨
Make sure to also check out my fellow Materialnik Trisha @jjelliacee amazing art here!
About the art
Initially I’d planned to colour the piece like 'normal’, but I’d done the sketch in white on a coloured BG and loved it so much that I wanted to try keeping it to the end! I’ve never tried this style before, but I had a lot of fun. The blanket, interestingly, developed almost…fire-like vibes? Blueish for the hottest flame?
I also had fun trying very slight drop shadowing for the writing and Procreate’s bokeh brush. Lots of new things in this painting! Hope you like it
