when we moved into our current apartment, the current residents left two loveseats & a recliner, which was convenient because they're p good quality & it saved us having to buy living room furniture right away, but also they're all beige and the carpet is beige and the walls are white and our ikea bookshelves are white and the blinds are white and this week my brain has chosen to flail and thrash in protest at the lack of color in our living room, but guess what, brain!! we just got a puppy & keep spending money on her, so we don't get to redecorate the entire living room right now! you'll just have to live with it!!!!!

Laranthian ref update. This is one of the first times I’ve actually drawn Laranth or anything on it (not counting a 32x32 pixel piece made in Animal Crossing…) so that was a little bit of a challenge. I really liked drawing the bugs.
Laranthian children are pretty much animals until a certain age; they can’t think or reason until a few years after hatching, when their frontal lobe finally finishes forming. Before then, most know to steer clear of the little beasties.

FWIW, "mauve" was one of the coal-tar dyes developed in the mid-19th century that made eye-wateringly bright clothing fashionable for a few decades.
It was an eye-popping magenta purple
HOWEVER, like most aniline dyes, it faded badly, to a washed-out blue-grey ...
...which was the color ignorant youngsters in the 1920s associated with “mauve”.
(This dress is labeled "mauve" as it is the color the above becomes after fading).
They colored their vision of the past with washed-out pastels that were NOTHING like the eye-popping electric shades the mid-Victorians loved. This 1926 fashion history book by Paul di Giafferi paints a hugely distorted, I would say dishonest picture of the past.
Ever since then this faded bluish lavender and not the original electric eye-watering hot pink-purple is the color associated with the word “mauve”.

I'm gonna come back to my digital art journey yay
It is a little hard to draw things because im not used to it, BUT, we get there
For now, I made one (1) more drawing.
Ideal? Not. Fun? Doubious.
Just kidding, it was
Anyways, cw because I completely forgot to draw their clothes
Cw: nudity (nonsexual)
It was so fun to do this painting, and I tried a new method here (sketch -> then painting -> THEN lineart) and I love how it turned out
Studying value, some new styles, faces etc. now
