Shameless DVD Commentary: Spooky Movie Night at the Gallaghers
Thanks for tagging me @callivich, this is such a fun concept by @shamelessdvdcommentary! I'll pick a few questions from this list to guide my commentary about this specific fanart.
How long did it take you to finish? The file info says I created it on October 29 and last modified it on November 8. So... 11 days? Which is pretty embarrassing considering how simple it ended up looking.
Do you have a backstory for this piece? If so, did having a backstory help you in completing the drawing? Not really. It's just the perfect chance for me to draw people huddling together to watch a movie, their faces lit by the TV glow, which I've always wanted to draw. I also wanted to draw Mickey smirking at Ian, inspired by a panel from Contradict by Kamome Oshima.
In your mind, was there any dialogue that went along with this artwork? Nope! I always try to tell a story with pictures alone. I'm not much of a writer anyway.
Did you find this piece easy or difficult to complete? Art with more than 2 people is always difficult to draw.
Did you have an initial idea of how you wanted this to turn out or were you inspired in the process? It was initially only going to be Ian and Mickey in their West Side apartment, but I figured it would be more fun if it was set during the time they were newlyweds and cohabiting with 10(?) other people in the Gallagher household. I wanted to draw the entire family watching TV but I only managed to fit 4 people in the couch lol. I tried to make a doodle of the entire room but gave up on it eventually. I decided on Hereditary as the movie that would spook Ian.
Did it come out how you were expecting it to or did a lot change in the process? My art never comes out the way I visualize it -_-
If you were to redraw this now, would you change anything? Would you remove or add anything? I would recolor it and add backgrounds!
Tagging my fellow artists, in case you wanna do a commentary too:
