Conspiracy theory: the reason you see so many costume designers give characters in historical films (specifically ones set in in Greek or Roman times) leather arm bracers even tho it’s inaccurate is bc this is the only way they know how to add interest into a design without it looking flamboyant bc they’re too chicken shit to actually make an interesting design, they could add colorful cloaks, long sleeves and even jewelry to add details to the costume design but it would look to feminine to modern ppl and instead of challenging popular perceptions of the time periods they’re depicting they feed into them.
HERE IT IS ALL FINISHED!!! AHHHH!!!!!
I've been planning this illustration for over a month now - in April, I had the patreon folks vote on a theme for a big gravity falls print, and camping was the winner. Even just planning the general composition took a while, figuring out where I wanted all the characters to be. Once I shored up a good thumbnail, I made it tighter twice before putting it on paper, and working in pencil. The pencil drawing part took me four sit down sessions of drawing, and then coloring the scan took another couple of days. I worked SO DANG HARD to finish this monster before mc3, and by some miracle, I did.
Overall, I'm really happy with how this illustration turned out! I feel like it does a good job of expressing my love for the show. I'm really glad people were enthusiastic about it at the convention - I had a lot stop and look at it with these really awestruck, sad wet goo goo eyes expressions LOL! They did this: 🥺 with an actual human face dskjhlsdfkjh!!
