Art: Palette meme drawings [Multifandom]

[motetus]

I've been having great fun with that palette meme going around Tumblr where you get people to pick a character and a palette number and then have to make some kind of sense out of them. I consider myself quite unadventurous when it comes to colour schemes so being forced to use combinations that I'd usually never consider was quite an adventure, and I rather like the results, even the ones with excessive amounts of retina-searing vivid colours. Thank you to everyone who sent in prompts, I've really enjoyed coming up with these!



#14, prompted by wagnetic: Centurion Marcus Aquila and so much fluorescent pink, far more than I'd ever thought I'd draw Channing Tatum in.




#5, prompted by chantefable: Hilarion lounging and smirking as is his wont, who I based a bit on Laurence Fox after seeing sineala mention he'd be a good fit.




#16, promted by fififolle: Lucius Vorenus, decked out in flowers and in the mood to stab someone party.




#13, prompted by kateison: Ariadne - first time I've finished a drawing with her in! Now I can at last say that I've drawn every single main Inception character.




#9, prompted by beili: Arthur and what were supposed to be penrose stairs until I realised how difficult they were, so it's just Arthur and stairs.




#8, prompted by bauble: My OTP forever, Saito/Carpet.




#11, prompted by beili: A younger Eames, going for the popular military background fanon. No, I still don't know how to draw guns, do I?



#1, prompted by bauble: For the final one I thought I'd try something different to my usual style(s?). bauble introduced me to Shag art and so this is my attempt to draw Robert Fischer waiting in the Sydney airport lounge for his flight in that kind of style. Kind of tricky at first given how wobbly my drawing hand is (I gave up and used shapes for the background), but fun!

Fluorescent pink Channing Tatum forever!

I am also curious to know who convinced Lucius Vorenus to put on a flowered wreath, and how they did it. And whether Lucius's expression is a sign that he is plotting to stab that person.

There can't be enough pink centurions in the Roman empire, yay! And I like the grumpy Vorenus. This colour palette meme is neat idea. These sets of slightly muted blues and red/browns remind me somehow of prints from the 1960ies (and I don't know if I'm even right with the decade), which are getting modern again by now. A RL friend of mine who does print design uses them for brochure covers and such.

Oh wow!! These are seriously awesome! I was getting blown away with each one :D Vorenus! Oh my! Look at his adorable scowl. How perfect! Thank you :D
Hilarion is a total Fox, hahaha!
You did a really cool job with the palettes. I found it hard to imagine how they would work, but Marcus, for example, just great stuff. And that Shag style is wicked <3

Thanks for sharing and doing these for prompts. I just loved looking at them. Feel like I'm gushing slightly but I don't care :p

With every scroll down I was like, this is my favourite...no, this one! So, so gorgeous. I would have Ariadne and Marcus on my wall.

How am I only just seeing the Saito/Carpet? It is incredible.
AND AGAIN, Ariadne looks so good!! Thank you <33

Oh my god, they're all fantastic! Huge nod to Arthur on the stairs, it's absolutely beautiful ♥

Saito/carpet 5EVA!!! And CHRIST, Eames in a vest holding an automatic rifle WHY HELLO THERE HANDSOME. O_O

And that last one of Robert IS TO DIE FOR. Wonderful use of shapes.

Love the first piece FLUORESCENT!! *it needed caps*j

all wonderfully rendered - what an expansion of palette you've discovered. And yes, SHAG art, what a name, ha, but the '60's artwork especially the black cat, so very much in tune with the adverts of the period, which were on everything. I'm thinking cartoons, too, as Warner Brothers and the Pink Panther cartoons had this style. Had mucho fun visiting the gallery, thanks for the link.

I really love all these, but I think my absolute favorite is Hilarion.

This is beautiful.

These all look so awesome! Very cool to see you stepping outside your usual styles and colors.

#14 - pink is my favorite color so it's always nice for me to see it used in a big way in an art piece. Love the muscular chestpiece.
#5 - I liked this palette. Some pretty neutrals and mints, which I love. Nice, soft, natural feel to this one.
#16 - the expression and the wreath make me laugh. I also like the Greek key background.
#13 - still love that maze background. Hard palette, but cool end product.
#9 - I really like how this one came out. The bold colors work with Arthur's meticulous outfit and the crazy stairs in a dream setting.
#8 - what a glorious carpet. I know it, and so does Saito <3
#11 - Ah, that young and beautiful Eames. What trouble that pretty face has gotten him into and out of <3
#1 - Love this! I'm in love with Fischer's bored expression and that beautiful airport lounge and all the background details like the chairs and he lamp and the flower. Can you email me a high resolution version of your file? Would love a print of this to hang on my wall!

THESE ARE ALL A FEAST TO THE EYE. I really love what you've done with the palettes and the prompts - and oh, that Shag!style Fischer ♥ . Great job!
