revisiting crassus, clodius, and the bona dea scandal! but this time with a new composition and a limited color palette

originally when I drew the first version of this idea, it was back when I thought that crassus would be a week long fixation at most (lmao), and instead he just. took up permanent residence in my mind. it seemed like a fun thing to go back to an earlier idea and see what changed now that I've spent a lot more time with everyone involved in this era!

also the way these two interlocked politically. I am. biting into it.

The Defeat of Rome: Crassus, Carrhae and the Invasion of the East, Gareth C. Sampson

Crassus: the First Tycoon, Peter Stothard

Crassus: A Political Biography, B. A. Marshall

Crassus, Clodius, and Curio in the Year 59 B.C., Robert J Rowland, Jr.

#for example. i even know who catulus and caelius are now. i did Not know who the fuck they were when i drew the original one #now im like. wow. those sure were some allegations. goddamn #i forgot that ive drawn crassus and clodius fucking before. i'll revisit that someday. ANYWAY. time for some organizational tags #marcus licinius crassus #publius clodius pulcher #roman republic tag #do i. have a tag for the bona dea scandal. i should #drawing tag #ALSO the first tycoon book. it's not a good reference point. i disagree with uhhh like a good third of it. BUT it is an EXTREMELY sexy #read. i would love an HBO show using this book as a point of inspiration. im not kidding. id watch it so fast #i was reading something that implied clodius role in the bona dea scandal was actually partially crassus' machinations #to undermine both caesar AND pompey. and once i finish digesting THAT thought. i will. draw a comic probably

my new completely original concept barn owl charr guardian, soren. he uses offhand torch.

#gw2 #guild wars 2 #oc: soren owlface #is this a safe space. i never finished the series #i think i stopped after the..... third? book #context i was in the warrior cats tag earlier and saw someones GORJESUS design of owlnose where he Looked like an owl #and i was like...... how hard could it be a to make an owl charr #it was just supposed to be a fun challenge. well he exists now #EDIT: to elaborate. i meant that after i saw the good good owlnose design i wanted to make an owl charr #and then i was like well i could make a barn owl. my favorite owl #but not just any barn owl. THEE copyrighted barn owl #aka soren from guardians of gahoole #<- from the series i never finished #i Did read warrior cats. so much warrior cats

I don’t like when people ask how many books you plan to read/have read this year one because I think that’s a weird relationship to have to books and two because I think even reading a chapter or a portion of something is valuable. this is especially true with non-fiction but even with fiction I think any amount you read, even if you don’t read the entire thing, is not a failure or ‘incomplete’

#I read basically exclusively non fiction and every page I read is beneficial like I’m always learning something #like my relationship to reading is often extractive and utilitarian because of school and research #but that extractive process doesn’t require reading the whole text like 99.9% of the time #I’ve only read a third of Orientalism for example but like I have a good grasp of Said’s core arguments and concepts #and like part of how I finished authoritarian personality (a 1000 page book) was by skipping & skimming sections #like the whole is not always more valuable than its components #and also like ‘I read this book to complete it’ is not an insincere way to engage with a text but I feel like it’s limiting #if that’s your primary approach to reading. Like you read a book just to say you read it #& also more petty but I think that if your argument or thesis only works if people read 100% of your book then you’re doing a poor job #of getting your point across #again obviously it’s valuable to read and process whole complete texts not dismissing that but like #I don’t find a lot of inherent value in reading a book just to complete it u know

My headcanon is that Ianthe dresses like an annoying ass tiktok influencer who's trying to sell you something. Also I didn't draw her skeleton arm because I am. Um. Lazy.

#also she's tan but like how ariana grande is tan. which is to say not at all. like nooo u dont get it she's just ~Italian~ #also i still havent finished nona so. this general vibe only applies to the first two books #um anyway. ianthe is like a mixture of emma frost and santana lopez to me. just insane clothing choices but always cunty #just obnoxious as fuck #harrow sees her and she's like Christ......... #pops an ibuprofen #ANYWAAAAYYYY I'll probably draw gideon next #the locked tomb #ianthe tridentarius #ianthe the third #tlt #gideon the ninth #harrow the ninth #okay byeeeee

One of these days Adrian Tchaikovsky is gonna drop a novel about sentient spacefaring leeches and for about 600 pages I'm gonna be forced to care about those bastard creatures and I'm gonna LIKE IT

#children of time #its been a year since i finished that one #and about a week since i finished #children of ruin #now i love octopi #but the huge spiders? the bodysnatching bacteria? #Tchaikovsky has a knack for changing your entire mindset towards a critter at least temporarily #i hear the third book is about corvids and i dread to ask what the secondary sentience is this time #These of We fucked me up SEVERELY #Frankly I'll be avoiding CoM for a while cuz i dont wanna spend time with a character whose sentence is in part the These Of We #FUCK those guys #kudos to Tchaikovsky the These Of We are terrifying #but also FUCK THEM SO HARD THEY'RE TERRIFYING #adrian tchaikovsky #science fiction #books #jess talks

i ate'nt dead

Here's a VERY mediocre midnight picture where i managed to lose the reflection on the foil i was photographing while catching it for every other book on the table, but! BUT! I haven't forgotten this all exists. All the binderary books are ready to photograph, as soon as I can scrub the green paint from my fingers, apply new polish to the nails, clean a table, and find a few minutes when I'm not running late for a meeting. This year has been.... so tired and lethargic, but simultaneously, so overstuffed and frantic. Honestly not super into it!!!!

#the other two thirds of my books are on a table across the room #an impossible gap to cross #yes this is misvil at least.... v3. yes i still have all of them. no I haven't finished tooling v2. what about it #this one tho.... so teeny tiny #i should have turned my own tooling graphic into the cricut covers for these tbh #jk im not weeding that #i am NEVER doing half-legal again if I can help it #every part of these was a huge pain #except the snake leather that was a doll

I ended up painting/working a little doodle to death while chatting w friends on discord :o) I haven’t decided on how I wanna draw Gregor quite yet!

#why is taking photos of little paintings so hard lol #gregor the overlander #the underland chronicles #the underland chronicles fanart #tuc #tuc boots #tuc Gregor #al chatters #my art #fanart #traditional #doodles #I’m on the third book and I’m protecting gregor w my mind powers #Suzanne collins never messes around in her writing. which means I am filled w stress every second bc she doesn’t hold back on the #‘ ​killing characters ‘ front. i sENSE that one of my faves is gonna die shortly #also #Suzanne….if u….seperate another fictional ‘protective older and precious younger’ sibling set ….I will cry for ages #also boots is holding a cookie #i didn’t feel like rendering it lol #eDIT: I FINISHED THE THIRD BOOK AND THE ONE CHAR I THOUGHT WOULD DIE - dID IN FACT DIE. bro……..bro

ALSO a Pazzi woman married Braccio Martelli which makes me scream because Lorenzo CANONICALLY did SINS with said Braccio

shshdh I LOVE that phrasing so much

but also oh my god I knew about the Sins™️ but I didn’t know about Martelli’s marriage to a Pazzi….this is incredible, I am thinking thoughts, I need to turn this around in my head for a month minimum…..

also context for people who would like to know about Martelli and Lorenzo:

Magnifico: the Brilliant Life and Times of Lorenzo de' Medici, Miles J. Unger

#italian renaissance tag #(staring intently at the Pazzi and Medici families and Lorenzo's brigata) interesting......INTERESTING.......... #ask tag #someday I will finish reading this book. I got a third of the way through it and got sidetracked and have not unsidetracked myself #heugugh Martelli looks too much like my revised Francesco de Pazzi…..I will have to re draw Lorenzo and Martelli…..for science…… #he needs. shorter hair. i think. i am assembling a vision of him in my head.
