Description
More with the stupidly elaborate setting art!I spent an awful lot of time on this, but not as much as one may imagine given the rather looooong period between this and my last submission. I blame school and also friends. This thing took like maybe a week or so? During fall break even, so I didn't have to go to class.
We've got circa 1939-1940 Julia + her room at the house in Daventry (where she and Lizzie live for a couple years after Arthur's death and before various other catastrophes). She is a very strange and delightful character, which is why her room has so much stuff.
I totally do not want to explain everything here. Mostly I just had a lot of fun. Julia is mine, the stuff on the walls includes an astrolabe and some Bouguereau and a portrait of Galileo and an illustration from War of the Worlds, she's got books by Edgar Rice Burroughs (lol), I was ~*inspired*~ by a lamp and a sliding door at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, there's a sword, photographs of Important People...
...
Yep.

This is amazing! There is so much detail! I wish I had the patience to add detail like that to my paintings. I love the lamp and the butterfly case and the old phone. This is just WOW!

What a gorgeous background! The main figure is elegant, and the muted color scheme works really well with the 1930s retro feeling. There's so much detail in it, it looks like it took forever... possibly because it did?

SEETHING BRAINS!
(Yes, my eyes went to that part first. Aheh.)
Once I stopped the mental zombie jokes and looked at the rest of the picture...holy crap WOW. The level of detail in this is absolutely incredible, and the execution of that detail is just as awesome.

This is INSANE. How do you do it. I could stare forever at all the little details. asdfghjkl; the typewriter and the astrolabe (i love those thing so much, the plot of my '04 nano revolved around one) and the barometer-thing... oh geez. AND THE FOIL heheheh.

I love it when you do backgrounds like this - it gives so much depth to the scene. Beautiful!

Thanks, Juls! I actually used to hate doing backgrounds, but I've built up to it, and it's become really fun.

I like imagining them but I'm terribly impatient at actually rendering them. They are so worth it, though.

amazing! everything's proportionate too, lol. if I did that it would be like slapping together 7 photos on one page.
nice Galileo thermometer there. I used to have one.

Galileo thermometers are awesome. I have a lava lamp at home, though, which is also neat in the fun-to-look-at department.
