Hi! Hello! I hope you are all doing well! Here is my illustration for April, titled The Tending of Worms (A Labor of Love) and done in watercolor and colored pencils.
This one was not based on any requests; I was feeling inspired and wanted to use my colored pencils again. I have complicated feelings about colored pencils... I often rely on them as a crutch to get detail into my watercolor paintings, but I also don't always love the way they look (too grainy or waxy). But! I like how this particular piece came out!
The mood I wanted to convey here was of a painful and frightening act done with grace and devotion. She's meant to be feeding the worms in the water with little blood-red petals; hopefully that reads.
I've been watching a play-through of Resident Evil 7, and if you're familiar with the setting of that game you might be able to connect the vibes to this piece. I'm very excited to watch Colin play RE 8 when it comes out π
