For day 5 of the make it rain challenge, I wanted to step out of my comfort zone with a character I haven't really explored but have ired from afar.
Finding pictures to represent my imitation of Cersei Lannister was difficult to say the least. I wanted to stray from symbols like lions and blonde beauties to attempt to delve deeper into her character, or at least the way I personally view her.
Upon first thought, I wanted to find pictures that represented hunger for power and a strong, ruthless female. It occured to me that those are only my surface perceptions of her. This challenge made me reevaluate my thoughts of her character and change my views.
Rather than an image of "evil", I came up with an image of suffering. To me, Cersei represents pain and desperation. Self preservation, lonliness, despair, grief, and rage are only the beginnings of what I came to find while picking her character apart in my mind. Trying to find images to depict this new view of her left me feeling unsatisfied but, it was enjoyable to explore a character I hadn't really fallen in love with yet.
Divine Despair
A dedication to Cersei Lannister
I've never participated in a challenge before, so I'm not really sure about how to post WIP pictures, or how to tag them as proof! I took a screenshot while working on the filtering for the moodboard so that's what I'll include 🤷🏻♀
I don't own or claim to own any of the pictures used for the moodboard! All pictures used were sourced from Google or Tumblr.
