Gnome Wings update

~ Rachel Terwilliger ~ Leave a comment

Question – If Gnomes are faeries too, where did their wings go?

Answer – They fluttered off to bless others even more!

More of theeeeeeeese as a Sunday Gnomedays bonus ❤ Two of them, having been shared already, with the others created for that awesome steampunk festival I vended at last year.

Something a bit random, but I’m pleased with it, especially the motion in her arms.

Let’s all have a day of star-filled bubbles, shall we?

Stay tuned later for an extra (overdue) Sunday Gnomedays post. Aaaaaaand a note for “Tock the Gnome” fans – more WIP on the next page will be up on Patreon later today! Hope you take a look 💚

Commission – The Zoey Jane Files: Statecraft Affair, cover

~ Rachel Terwilliger ~ Leave a comment

Another commission for “The Zoey Jane Files” by H.M. Barone – this time, for the cover of the final book in the series!!

I am blessed to call her a friend and to have taken this journey with her. Zoey’s story is so intense and beautiful, and explores a world so different from what I personally write and draw. Getting to illustrate her story has definitely widened my own experience and worldview, and made my life and my work all the richer for it. And seeing someone I care about reach this goal, a whole series finished (!!!), is SO inspiring.

Congratulations, Heather. Thank you for letting me into Zoey’s world.

Check out the full series here! “The Statecraft Affair” drops this Friday!

Featuring a drawing I technically did last year, but hadn’t gotten to share yet (if I’m wrong about that, I deeply apologize!).

This was supposed to evoke Queen Arella of “Tock the Gnome” backstory, in a moment of nature and healing, paired with the strength of stones. 2020’s been more of a stumble than a dance for me so far, as most winters are, but I am grateful to be moving forward regardless of my level of grace.

Also, a small announcement – there will be no “Tock the Gnome” World Building Wednesday this week, as I work toward a commission deadline. WIPs on the next page will still be posted as often as possible, and existing bonuses are always available on Patreon. Thanks for your patience, dear readers ❤

Beeeeeeeelatedly. I am beginning February much like a dizzy albatross trying to take off.

I’m having a lot of trouble holding everything together this week in general, everyone, so I’m grateful for your patient enjoyment of my work, that we’re all flawed beings doing the best we can to hold things down, and grateful that I got to draw this Gnome and bird despite all the chaos and struggle. I’m glad, too, that every day I have another shot at doing better – and it’s true, always always always, that if you don’t give up, you can still win (winning just might not look like you expected 😅).
