An illustration inspired by one of the (beautiful) images in the Ballet series by Katie Ponder, which I saw in vignette size and thought "oh, the tutu is a clock! Brilliant!" and then I saw in a bigger size and realized that the tutu was not, in fact, a clock, which felt like a missed opportunity. https://www.katieponderillustration.com/
Also inspired by the scene in Martin Scorcese's movie Goncharov (1973) where Katya remembers training to be a ballerina, back in Moscow. The quote is by Tolstov, and is the one quoted to Katya by Sofia in Goncharov during the church scene (although I've always thought that her dialogue in that one scene was a little hard to hear so I had to go back and enable subtitles to be able to really figure out what quote it was!)
after a lot of back and forth of “but I’m saving for episode 7, there’s gonna be four of them, gotta hoard” vs “this is a limited pickup, do you have EYES, go for the fairy ballerina” I ended up spending all 120 of my keys, didn’t get him, and now.
now they have the AUDACITY.
to go “oh btw he can also turn pink :) :) :)”
this is an attack on me personally and I have no choice but to vent my frustrations with an overuse of textures and watercolor brushes. if I can’t have him then at least let me have a million paper layers instead. >:(
