I’ve been really nervous about posting this finished painting because it took a very long time to paint - I think getting all those tiny books drawn, painted, lined, and shaded, was a good cumulative 16 hours over about a month? I just wanted to send these Nigel and Antwan here on a lovely date to the kind of enchanted bookshop where every mismatched shelf is packed full of every conceivable book you might be looking for, and there are plenty of quiet corners among the wiggidy-wonky stacks to hide and quietly thumb through a comprehensive guide to local birds, or have a little cuddle with your sweetheart.
(The fellas didn’t mind how long this took to paint, because it just meant they got to spend more time on their date.)
Pushing through Rhys/Taika characters ships ehehe, as for this one, I'm getting obsessed with the idea of Nigel, not Antwan, being pulled into this world bc of some Jumanji console malfunction (mb after some former CEO spilt his booze on it, why not ><) and from now on he's to be taught by Antwan how to survive in our concrete jungle (I want to read smth like that, yesss 0-0)
Watched all three Jumanji films. (I realized I barely remembered the original film, but I love Robin Williams). And yeah Niiigeell. I enjoyed Rhys more than Dwayne Jonson and Karen Gillian (bad Whovian 😂😅)
