Monochromatic

3

This month’s monochromatic I couldn’t decide on just one person to draw… so I’m (sort of) doing two! Moxie & Glass to celebrate the projects we collabed on

(read last months issue for more about that)

I have a whole series of digital monochromatic portraits here. The thing is… I started sketching portraits of these two and I just couldn’t get a draft I was happy with. Then I saw this…

Another local drag artist, Vessel (@vesseldrag), had made a gorgeous pencil portrait of Glass!

It’s beautiful, and clearly shows a dedication and honing of a craft that I can’t be bothered with this month. This magazina is about a lot of things, but mostly it’s about my silly little whims.

That’s why I decided to start some other little art project dedicated to Glass and Moxie instead. I kept the monochromatic idea, but instead of regular portraits I 3D modeled some virtual dolls inspired by the two queens.

Glass and Moxie, respectively. They’re not done done (nothing ever is). Maybe later i’ll make little outfits and wigs for them.

Obviously, the resemblance isn’t going to be as prominent as something like Vessel’s portrait or the model I finished last month for the Megamox album cover. I’m not really aiming for realism though. These dolls exist in a broader fictional world that mostly just exists in my head for now. I’ll probably tell you all more about it later. Maybe I’ll upload the models too in case any of you want to try playing around with them or making your own. For now though I hope you like these monochromatic busts (´◡`❁)
