A Lil’ Something I’m Working On...

I just noticed that you’re following me and I’m shocked????? An amazing artist??? Following???? What???????

You’re on anon so I can’t give you blog-specific complements, but every single one of the people I follow on here are amazing and I feel the same !!!!!!! about anyone that follows me, and is a mutual of mine! Thank you SO much for the sweet compliment! Here’s a little sketch preview for you:

OC Kiss Week! @dat-ether-art​‘s lovely Aurora and my Valem! This is after the period in which Valem tried to bury himself in the backyard whenever he so much as thought of his crush. Anatomy’s a failure but at least I used purple in this drawing!

I was tagged by @gloriousmonsters (who is amazing).

Rules: Post the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them, and then post a little snippet or tell them something about it! Then tag as many people as you have WIPs.

Jarnu and the house

Birch short stories

All of these are original projects, and most are in their early stages of writing (with a couple of them only having some exploratory snippets + planning documents). Some of them have related art WIPs so I'll post those too if anyone picks a project with a corresponding drawing!

Tagging @nakimochiku and anyone else who would want to do this. It's been ages since I've done one of these games. I'd love to do more of them, so if you would like to be tagged in future please let me know!

The one on the right has a greenish yellowish background. The one to the right has a greyish purpleish background. The one to the right looks better to me. Probably because the colours look more vibrant.

Thank you, and everyone else who answered by mail or the IM system! Turns out, my old laptop’s display was improperly configured and everything I drew was greener and more saturated than I meant it to be.I’ve fixed up my art as much as it can be (replacing/reposting certain pieces - so if you want to see the real colours, browse through again) and will hopefully draw better as time goes by.

curious about Jarnu and the house 👀

"Jarnu and the house" (working title: Holmwood: A Study of Scarlett) is one of the stories my partner and I are working on together, set in our fantasy world of Ashvatyr. It's a bit of a story within a story. While reading Sherlock Holmes, Francis and I decided the characters in our universe needed their own detective stories to be fans of. Jarnu is a fantasy version of John Watson, and the snippet below shows him unsuccessfully looking for lodgings.

There were twenty-two houses on Cherryhill Lane, twenty-one of which satisfied nearly all of Jarnu's lodging requests.

Numbers 1 through 21 were well-situated and spacious, with square gardens and brightly painted doors. Number 4 was smaller than the rest of course, the paint on 12 was cracked, and 15 sported violet glowing hedges from an overuse of pruning spells. Even so, he could have accepted their deficiencies. 

Jarnu looked down at the paper in his hand, a red circle carefully drawn around "Number Twenty-Two" in the advertisement section. He tapped his walking stick on the ground and trained his eyes on the building in question. A tight budget meant tight compromises when picking a rental but he felt, as any gentleman would agree, there were certain things which could not be borne. 

Number 22 Cherryhill was as well situated as the others he supposed, and spacious. More spacious in fact, as it stretched above the roofs of the other houses, above even the old oak tree by Number 20, and disappeared somewhere in the clouds. It could have been an illusion. Jarnu shielded his eyes from the sun, unable to make out a roof. If so, he personally would've added some illusory flowers to the cracked grey stone, and kept off the red painted  "BEWARE".

They're (almost) finished! Defiance (tiefling) and Lieran (aasimar), from a DnD project my partner and I working on! (Defiance is missing his tattoos, because we're still not sure what they look like)
