Description This is an art request for InkyRose . She wanted an illustration of her two OCs, Leonora and Roderic.

Art Details: Acrylic paints and various mixed-media on bristol paper. I toned down the original colors after scanning it. It originally had too much bright blues and pinks. Now I like how the colors work well together instead of competing with each other.

You can check out some of own beautiful art for these two here, and

*I do not own Leonora and Roderic. These original characters belong to InkyRose. I just hope that I did them justice.

Absolutely gorgeous! It has a sort of Night Circus/Moulin Rouge sense to it.

I see on your page that you're moving and working on stuff still... Are you open for them right now? We could do an art trade, if you'd be interested in that.

I'm working on stuff until sometime in November since I plan on moving in January. I'll send you a note and we can discuss this matter further.

*eyes pop out on stalks* This is BEAUTIFUL!!! This is probably the most beautiful image of these two- including my own artwork!!! Oh my word....this is just breath-taking! I simply can't get over how lovely it is!
Leonora's dress is astonishingly detailed and amazingly gorgeous- may I use that design in some of my own images? That collar is fantastic and I love her pearl headdress too! The stars and moon are beautiful too, and I like how they have a 'backdrop effect' as if they are part of a stage, which is great considering Leonora's stage background! I love your interpretation of Roderic- his eyes look love-struck and thoughtful and those clouds are incredible- this must have taken you ages!! I adore the tender rapture and contentment of the image of them together at the bottom- and her feather headdress is lovely!
This is so stunning- I love, love, love it!!!!
I will definitely feature this in a journal!!

I'm so happy that you like how it turned out!Β Β Β 

Yes, of course you can use that dress design! I would be honored actually.Β Β 

Dress details:Β 

I stenciled much of the dress pattern using paper doilies (but making up any sort of pattern with marker or paint can work also). I just like to stencil sometimes, it can be very therapeutic.Β Β Β Then I painted more color and shadows in areas of the dress. Lastly, I used a white gel pen to add what looks like bead work in the dress patterns. Hope that helps.Β 


Β Again, I am soooo ecstatic right now that you like how everything turned out!Β
