COLLAB!! I did a collab!! Lineart is by the immensely talented @meglm
More info + progress under the cut.
This is the original lineart by Megan:
As you can see, it includes a couple compositional elements that I didnt include in the final render. My reasoning behind this was, because I am focusing on detail and colour work, I wanted the composition to allow the colours to stand out as much as they could! Specifically the spider web behind Webby there- I had it kept in for so long, but it ended up drawing the eye away from parts that I wanted to emphasise more. (Don't worry, the artist said I could change the composition!)
Let's take a second to appreciate this family:
Aren't they the darndest?
And then the final stage pre funky lighting:
This, with my usual mess of halftones, texture brushes, and blocky chisel tips. Then, to get to the final product, it was a matter of some strategically placed colour dodge layers, multiply layers, and a nice background. (This makes it sound so much easier than it was, the lighting itself took me about 3 hours, that fire?? Sophia's fire??? Took me TOO LONG)
Anyway heres a peek into my rendering process I guess.

I think one of the slept on things that makes The Secret History feel like a real world is Donna Tartt's willingness to introduce a character that is just never brought up again (or brought up once or twice again.)
Because i'm real life, not every person you meet is going to have significance in your life. Not everyone is going to change that plot. Think about the teacher that takes over when Julian leaves. Or the farmer who claims to have seen Bunny. Or Richard's one night stand. Even the man stalking Henry and Bunny in Italy doesn't show up later.
And not only does this fill the gaps in the world, it absolutely helps build suspense. You never know if a character might have significance later, because there's simply no pattern to follow. It keeps you guessing.
Did I mention I started rereading The Secret History
