It's my birthday,,,,, i'm turning 21,,,,,,,,,, I didn't have any motivation to draw today so heres a scooby from last month when I got back into whats new scooby doo..... I discovered that all the episodes were free on my tv and was FERAL with excitement, I felt like I was 7 again lol. I love scooby doo I would die for scooby doo. 70% of my heart is taken up by scooby doo

I've been trying to get to the point where I can make my own full paintings of my own ideas, I'm not quite there yet lol but I had this idea for a book cover..... i wanted to paint more mermaids....... yeah. It's when she goes swimming as a mermaid for the first time :)

oog.... forgot about this heh...... My taste in books is all over the place, I've been working my way through the Perry Mason books so that's most of what's on here. I'm 9 chapters into the Silmarillion tho

Nosferatu. Does this word not sound like the midnight call of the Bird of Death? Do not utter it, or the images of life will fade - into pale shadows and ghostly dreams will rise from your heart and feed your Blood.

Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror (1922) dir. F.W. Murnau

hi people!! I'm making a new pinned post because I'm realizing that my blog is getting very disorganized lol.

My name is soapy/sophie, I'm 21, I'm a digital and traditional artist but mostly digital on here!! Some oc stuff, I also like Batman (specifically batman the animated series), Spider-man (tssm and the 90s cartoon!), scooby doo, perry mason (the 1950s show), a lot of reeeeeeally old movies, cuphead, uhh, Disney movies, I'm sure I'll think of more lol. I love fiber arts and sewing clothes especially. I'm Christian and I have a particular fascination with the Byzantine Empire/early Christianity! Some of my other interests are vintage fashion and archeology/history. all sfw here :) I don't have anything dealing with politics/current events on here either as I thoroughly despise the idea of politics lol and this is my little corner of the world to escape!

I do not do commissions as of now, I may in the future if I have more of an audience!

Tags:

#soapys art - It's just. my art. any and all of the stuff I draw :))

#oc art - all the art I have of my ocs! I don't have them separately tagged (yet, except for the medieval people) because I don't know how often I'll draw each of them lol

#soapys medieval people - my knight and princess character, help I don't know what to call this 😔

#soapys thoughts - contemplating life. my brainworms. etc. pretty straightforward

#soapys crafts - NO IDEA if I'll post much on this but I figured I'd put it in here, I do looots, of crafts, knitting, needlepoint and sewing clothes and the like, so just in case!

Any other specific stuff will have the proper tags that you can search on my page, all my batman art is tagged #batman, poto stuff #phantom of the opera, etc.

Have a good day go watch an old horror movie :)

caped crusader doodles from like 2 months ago lol,,, I have to add some batman content back to my blog

archery outfit for the girl 👍 not 100% sure about it but its there

edit: forgot to explain hehe, this is something she threw together out of clothes in the royal stables or whatever, so it's kind of a mismatched assortment of things. The braces are padded to protect her from the arrows, and the cowl is for pulling around her face in case she wants to not be recognized. Also wanted to include colors because I feel like a lot of people (movie producers........) ignore that ye olde "grimy and greyscale" medieval times was actually very colorful :)

HERE THEY ARE!! THEM!! THE PEOPLE!!! The diptych I finished last month!!! Oil on canvas panel :)

Mystery of the Wax Museum (1933) - dir. Michael Curtiz

Lego Scarecrow is so scary wahhh

I am literally shaking

Also - to elaborate on to this, I wasn't planning on adding fantasy creatures in the world that this would be taking place in, but damn... it's so tempting to just stick a unicorn in there SO if they did exist they would be essentially immortal, although they could be killed. They'd be smaller than a horse, like pony-sized, but look slightly different, more like a generic ungulate. Their hair would be kind of coarse and bushy and hang over their eyes, they'd also have feathering around their hooves. Their tails would be extremely long and have a floof at the end. I'm thinking they're also omnivores, as I think the idea of a creature symbolizing beauty and purity also having sharp teeth and the ability to eat meat is kind of. yeah absolutely why not! Idk how magical they are but they have some funky abilities I guess 👍

I've been hyperfixating SO BAD this week my brain is actually melting aghshddjdj.... I'm onto something with my princess and knight I swear.......... anyways I got stuck on unicorns yesterday and I already have an unhealthy obsession with the Unicorn Tapestries, so I wanted to make a piece inspired by that with the princess from a previous post :)

Have you read any Tolkien's work before?

Yeah I have!! I've read LotR (once) and The Hobbit (once) and I was working my way through the Silmarillion but I stopped at ch 9... It's so hard for me to finish a book lol. I had a big phase where I was obsessed with the Lotr and Hobbit movies so 👍

I've been practicing backgrounds over the last week, and this was originally a study of a photo I took in Maine last year. I looove the beach and water is so hard to paint lol but I'm getting better. I read the Emily Windsnap books a lot when I was younger.... I love them so much and I still read them EVERY time I go to the beach, they perfectly describe the feeling of the ocean and what it's like to go to the beach. The illustrations are just UGH THEY'RE SO GOOD and I want to EAT them. Also I wanted to be a mermaid really bad when I was a kid lmao. So yeah! I was orignally going to stick a random mermaid in here but I thought what the heck. emily :)

YAYY HE DIDNT DIE IN BATTLE!! HE CAME BACK!!!

A couple of years ago I had the experience of watching When Knighthood Was In Flower (1922) in theaters and soon after I came down with a serious disease of I Love 1920s Medieval Fantasy Stuff, of which I have never recovered. I have no idea what the story is behind these people but they've been around since then, I painted them last month for a school project.

@another-art-studentt you're the only one who kind of knows who they are lol

- What of it? Then it'll be out of its misery. - You know how you sound, Monsieur Blaine? Like a man who's trying to convince himself of something he doesn't believe in his heart.

1947 Catwoman drawing from last year :))) she was just SO cool in the golden age

Another oc portrait. Taer of Doriath, Captain of the Guards.

I think fear of being perceived is such a mental roadblock to posting art because whenever I do all I can think of is like. nothing but crickets. eep eep. It's like I'm getting up on a podium in front of a really big silent crowd and I'm SWEATING like you would not BELIEVE. It would be so much easier to just Not post it and be able to sleep at night. But then. well. It will never be seen. shower thoughts for y'all :)
