DCS Practices – Object Study 2: vintage victorian lamps fairy tale and ivory knights

Another set of characters inspired by vintage victorian lamps and ivory goblets (I tend to draw with my book slightly slanted to the left so please bear with the tilted drawings) .

Just realised one of the characters resembles Lilymon.. watched Digimon recently so that’s probably why
The bird was my attempt on making non human so I tried copying some mythical birds.. not the best result but better than expected
Forgot to save the image and couldn’t find the exact pink lamp that inspired me so the comparison is a bit off

As for these ivory goblets, I found them hilarious. I’m quoting Soth (2020) here, “a species of ivory oddities so exuberantly impractical, so elaborately absurd, that they appear, even in person, like spontaneous deformities of reality.” When I first saw them, a scene with a group of conceited, comical knights with strong individual characters trying to outdo each other immediately came in mind. But these are rough sketches and I’m thinking of refining it to look more like knights.

Anyway, I was having soooo much fun while drawing them. Probably the most fun I’ve been this quarantine.
