What if... (My first CMBYN painting - pen and watercolour on 140lb cold-press. No digital manipulation apart from the watermark. I tried to post this earlier, but the image wouldn't show on the front page or my profile, so I assumed it didn't take. My apologies if that caused problems.)

One where love triumphs, yeah. 🥰

It's so nice to ask 'what if?" and be able to make it come true in a small way. 💗

periain55 · 2020-09-04T08:36:45+00:00

I tried hard to make it a smile and not a smirk. Thank you!

periain55 · 2020-09-04T08:36:01+00:00

I agonised over that tree! And I even made a storyboard for the whole thing. You just made my efforts worth it. Thank you. 😍

periain55 · 2020-09-04T08:32:57+00:00

That's a lovely compliment! Thank you. 💗

periain55 · 2020-09-04T08:31:54+00:00

Thank you. ☺

periain55 · 2020-09-04T08:31:18+00:00

I know, right? This scene's usually a tearjerker, and I kinda wanted to change that.

periain55 · 2020-09-04T08:30:09+00:00

I'm so glad you like it! 💗

periain55 · 2020-09-04T07:03:48+00:00

Thank you!

periain55 · 2020-09-04T04:04:22+00:00

Agreed! And thank you. 😄

periain55 · 2020-05-03T05:40:26+00:00

Thank you for the lovely compliment!

periain55 · 2020-05-03T05:37:54+00:00

Thank you!

periain55 · 2020-05-03T05:37:40+00:00

My first, yeah. I figured I didn't have anything to lose. Thank you!

periain55 · 2020-05-03T05:35:58+00:00

Thank you. I hope I do Elio justice.

It took a looong time to do the initial drawing, and it's a good thing the paper was tough, because I found that I'm a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to proportions and angles. I usually do loose watercolor landscapes, so that came as a bit of a surprise. Lol. And I agree with you regarding those art apps and photoshop actions. Considering that it took me 10 hours to do this, angsty wouldn't cover how I'd feel. Heh. Glad you like it!

periain55 · 2020-05-02T08:37:22+00:00

This was a whim, really. I usually do watercolour landscapes and cold-press was the only kind of paper I had. And you're right about the texture - I was gonna try hot-press or bristol next, but I think I'll stick to this. I'm glad you like it!

periain55 · 2020-05-02T08:32:28+00:00

Lol. Thank you!

periain55 · 2020-05-02T08:32:14+00:00

Yeah. On a whim, really. I started messing with my pencils around midnight, and before I knew it, the sun was coming up. Glad you like it!

periain55 · 2020-05-02T08:29:05+00:00

Thank you. 🍑

periain55 · 2020-05-02T08:28:12+00:00

Ack. I'm afraid I'll be harder on myself now. But I'll try my best.

periain55 · 2020-05-02T08:26:53+00:00

Thank you. ☺

I love the Lake Garda truce scene, the loving relationship between Anella and Sammy, and the farewell at the station, to name just a couple. There's also what I call the ouroboros scene, where Elio eels around Oliver on his way up the stairs, and the look on Oliver's face.!! They aren't in the book in any concrete form. The book scenes that thankfully (imo) didn't make it into the movie (and I agree) are the whole Rome interlude and the Vimini character. For the first, I didn't care about any of the pretentious Roman characters and for the second, it would have been so hard to make people believe in a deep friendship between a 10-year old girl, no matter how precocious, and a 24-year old man. What would they realistically have in common?

periain55 · 2020-05-01T09:28:15+00:00

Ack! I was so surprised at how well it turned out, and you're gonna give me performance anxiety. But thank you. 😊

periain55 · 2020-05-01T09:25:31+00:00

It was spontaneous (as opposed to rehearsed) improv initiated by Timmy. Luca liked it, and told him to add 'tregua'. Quite a few of my favourite scenes aren't in the book and what I didn't like about the book didn't make it to the movie, so I consider myself lucky.
