Cooking Earth Mom
She's ummm...... finally awake?
Anyways, It's Mother's Day. And I got no idea of how to do this thing. But alas, I end up with the Great Goddess trope and ended up with THIS character again. Guest what, it's Gaia, the Earth Mother, so yeah..... kinda fits???
Anyways, here's the art where she's humming around doing her thing...
Mom is cooking..... very original..... T_T.....
Anyways, the sketch.
I gotta admit, not getting used to my character doing menial tasks. Luckily I have some references (aka Internet..... what else?) on how to draw this pose. Plus, I cooked stuff myself a lot of times. Just don't expect me to cook 5 star cuisine, I got no time for that....
Inking.
Oh, one thing, the ingredients are.... something of a mismatch of fruits and veggies. More on that later...
Basic Colors.
Details.
Background design. Simple I know.... and some composition.
Yeah.... about those ingredients.....
Let's just say that I just simplify those ingredient design, as there's a lot of ingredients initially. Though less is more, so I keep that. If you really wanna relate those ingredients some of them are.... just additions really. I mean the one she's cutting is basically a scallion, though I do know that you can make a lot with them scallions... Though the last time I check, scallions has a lot of recipes, Greek included.
Speaking of Greek ingredients, there are lemons, sweet peppers, and most importantly .....olives! (Or at least I think...) Well.... olives are pretty important for Ancient Greece, especially Athens. It's also pretty versatile. You can make oil out of it is one famous example. It's also important for trading during that time, as olives are a lucrative economy in the Mediterranean in the ancient world. Though there's a chance that I might get these facts wrong. Imma complete layman after all... Do correct me if I'm off...
.....What? She's using modern utensils?..... Why not? She's up with the times ya know.... ;) At least let her hum...
