Posting this today to make note that I will be taking a break from posting, from now until Wednesday 7/28. This week promises to be very challenging for me, in part because of grief (a dear friend’s memorial is on Saturday and I am handling that as well as I handle loss in general….. which is not very gracefully/well, at all). So I need to take a quick step back.
Thank you for your understanding 🦋
As for the image above:
Every time I start a new sketchbook, I draw something just for me in the front, usually with some kind of inspirational quote related to what I have going on at the time (for example, the last one, with Yavanna and Aulë was joined by “Let us be a part of the things rebuilt,” from Moonraykir’s Kiliel works, in the face of alllllllllll the insanity 2020 brought).
The quote placed with this one is a bit too personal to share, but it came with this lovely art of Arella (tragic backstory Queen of “Tock the Gnome”) in a kind of AU setting, as if she had embraced her power and love instead of her fear.
This was very, very comforting to draw.
And also clued me in to the fact that Arella and my Gnomish Persephone have the same hair, which I feel was subconsciously not-unintentional. Ahahaha 😅
Take care of yourselves this week, dear readers/followers. See you in a little while.
