Description
A personal project named 'Butterflies' that started from a story I wrote years ago.
I've been posting in-depth step by steps and insights in social media and Patreon, and learned a lot in this journey. This became a treasured universe I'm loving to revisit and polish in my free time.
--
This is a story about a blacksmith that lives in a windmill and finds a wounded woman in the woods. He saves her and contacts the local young priestess to help heal the mysterious woman, who may or may not be cursed to become a beast.
My main inspirations are:
➕ Damascus/Syrian food and architecture
➕ I'm studying Islam (to bring the main blacksmith guy and his town some light Muslim references for their routine and culture. Also a single God that has no physical representation — although there's all those colorful deities and beasts around them.
➕ Persian myths for a palace that has a dragon-god. The villain guy comes from Zahhak, a Persian myth.
➕ Latin American nature and culture (I'd love to draw some foods like cuscuz, brigadeiros, coxinhas, cafés da manhã, pão de queijo 🥵🥵🥵 Maybe as props later?), people (Brazil's indigenous Guarani Kaiowa mainly, and other ethnic groups) and folklore (the dragon-dog Teju Jagua, the fire snake Boitatá)
🐲 Painting cultures helps me in structuring and memorizing my history studies. Hopefully this will be respectful, please don't hesitate to send me a message if you find something odd or wrong. 🐲
Thank you for your time in checking this ! ♥ cheers~
