Sketch: Seamus and Eddie 🍀⚓ shoulder ride at the show
🕑 Added 2024-11-20 18:00:17 +0000 UTCalright here we are! I've had this idea in mind for a really long time, cause I wanted to show how Seamus and Eddie have a lot of common interests and have a lot of fun together, and I also love the casual "unintentional" physical intimacy of a shoulder ride at a concert. I like showing these two out and enjoying each other's company to show the kind of close friendship they have.
pray for me as I start figuring out this painting, you guys. I've never painted a true crowd scene like this in my life and I'm scared! haha. It'll take a lot of focus and iteration to figure out all these extra characters and still keep the focus on the main two. but I'm excited for this scene and how it adds another layer of closeness/intimacy/tension to their relationship.

Actually, I was in a college service fraternity and the guys were comfortable enough with each other that they would do things like this, even out in public. Lots of game-day shoulder rides, as I recall - trades, usually, so both guys would get to see over the crowd. Thanks for capturing that feeling.

I think it was the massage pic where it seems that Seamus may have been taking advantage of Eddie’s attraction for a great massage. Good to see the support goes both ways.

interesting how the inverse would feel wrong, right? another aspect of this scene that I like is it shows a bit more about who Seamus is, around Eddie: supportive, fun, protective, and positive.

boys out and about 🥰

haha I honestly thought about whether to put fun cameos in the crowd - but ultimately decided not to, I feel like that would break the immersion too much. I want these characters to very much live in the real world
Celery Man
thanks man!! yes challenging myself with something a little different here but I think it'll make for a good story scene if I can do it!
Mike
Maybe I’m too invested in these characters, but I’m glad Seamus is the one carrying Eddie and not the other way around.

This is a great vibe for them to share together! <3

Is that cute ginger from art class going to be there?

This looks like it’s a great scene for Seamus & Eddie but also a really different scene in general! Really curious to see how it shapes up and how you find it is to work on it!
Celery Man
thanks man!! I'm happy you're feeling it, had this idea in the bank for a longgg time 😁
Celery Man
happy this brings back a memory or two 😁 I feel like most of the time when you see a shoulder ride, it's a girl doing the riding. but once in a while... once in a long while, you might see a guy get up there.

Duuuude. This looks so great already! I’m probably more excited than I should be for this one, haha. Sending thoughts and prayers! 🙏

Excellent, my friend. Very sexy -- especially to those of us who can still remember our college days when such happenings were visible in real time. I can't wait to see what you do with this. Very frat-boy (in the best way possible) and hot...
Celery Man
oh for sure. I bet the signals are very, very mixed 😓

I can for sure see why Eddie may get mixed signals from Seamus. Just being lost in that moment of excitement and pure ecstasy
Celery Man
yes!! all of that! I'm so happy it's coming through, even in this early sketch 💚
Celery Man
oh he's having a great time, you know it
Celery Man
heyoooo good memory!! I think there's a high chance of that. or something adjacent that also overlaps with Seamus's tastes
Celery Man
haha oh man, never know who they might run into at this concert 👀
Celery Man
hey, welcome!! I actually have posted a couple breakdowns of my painting process that might show you what you're curious about! I make a bunch of images with notes written that show how the process goes from idea to final. here's a link to the most recent one: https://www.patreon.com/posts/sipher-x-reed-115588280

thanks man!! hope I'm able to bring it home!
Celery Man
I shall do my best!! 💪
Celery Man
thanks!! haha I'm gonna need it 🙈
Celery Man
Ive got some ideas for the lighting/mood!!
Celery Man
haha oh man. depending how much he's enjoying this shoulder ride, might happen by accident 😲
Celery Man
🤗 I hoped this sort of cute wholesome scene would appeal to you guys!!

I love this so much. It feels like we’re seeing something truly new about both of them. Eddie fully inebriated and lost in the moment; the pure, unvarnished excitement on Seamus’s face. So much character exploration in a single image.

Lean into it, Eddie!

This is a MUNA show, isn't it? 😎

I'm excited, still dreaming of anon gym bro to bring them together 🤭

New subscriber here so forgive me if you’ve answered this in a prior post somewhere. What’s your process for developing your artwork? I’d imagine it starts out with an idea, then sketching on paper… maybe an app on an iPad… and then evolution to a final piece? Very curious of the process of an artist!

This is going to be such an incredible piece! Can't wait to see how you work your magic on this one ✨

Oh I'm so ready for this one. I think you'll figure the crowd out i believe in u bro 🌸‼️

I'm excited for this one! I love Seamus's face in this sketch for some reason. Good luck with the crowd, lol.
Wilhelm
Amazing idea, excited to see where it goes

Would be good to see Eddies “head” peeking around Seamus’ ear 😛
