✨💗 NYFF here we go!! 💗✨

Everybody everybody I got in to New York Faerie Festival!!! Aaaaaaaaahhhh!!!!!!

As such, this is just a quick note to say that all plans for all projects for the month are on pause. I will still be fulfilling patron benefits as best I can, but I will not be posting on here very regularly, beyond the Pike & Scanlan work I’ve planned for TGnIF (which is pretty much already set), until late June/early July.

Full notes on the excitement here, and WIP posts on new work and show prep as the date gets closer will be available at my Patreon.

And if you’re Central New York state local, come see me!! I’ll be there all 3 days, Friday June 24th to Sunday June 25th.

TGnIF 6-2-23 – Pike 💙

Thank Gnome it’s Friday!!

And Happy JuneFae!! 💟

As you can see above – it’s also Fanart Friday, wiiiiiith the inevitability and glory of my Wife and I having finally gotten into “Critical Role.” As you might imagine, I have LOTS of thoughts and feelings about one Pike Trickfoot (Gnome cleric of Sarenrae) and one Scanlan Shorthalt (Gnome bard of impressive and sometimes problematic self-importance).

As someone who played Gnome clerics and Gnome bards almost exclusively back when I got to play DnD myself…… *gestures wildly, because words are not enough*

So! With it being the month of the fae, as well – all of June’s TGnIF’s will be dedicated to these two in the Truth of Gnomish resonance, even if Faerie itself is treated much differently in many Dungeons & Dragons settings. Gnomes are always still fae, to me.

And we’re starting with Pike, because I love her so. Thank you Ashley Johnson for letting us get to know her!

(Also, NO SPOILERS. We are only on episode 20 and have not started the animated series yet.)

“Tock the Gnome: The Rescue Quest” is about a Gnome woman named Tock, who lives in a Steampunk culture in a high fantasy world. Driven by a Fairy Tale about a trapped Elven princess on a floating island, she convinces her friend Bumble – an airship pilot – to join her quest to rescue her. They hire extra firepower from unfamiliar lands, and together they seek the island and the princess. But what they seek may not be quite what they expected…

Proudly contains queer characters and romance, size-positivity, Faerie, spiritual magic, conundrums and tomfoolery.

“Tock the Gnome” Bard Bonus, May 2023

“Healing.”

I didn’t get to participate in Mermay fully this year, SO take this as a grateful and respectful offering, to the best of my ability 🧜‍♂️💕 Fun fact!! “Tock the Gnome” Merfolk and Elves are related, and have a fair amount of bad blood between them. Which is in the process of being healed, in certain ways….

As for this set of pieces in full – this is the most recent “Tock the Gnome” Bard level bonus drawing, available as an exclusive *print* at that level on my Patreon! Anyone who signs up at that level by June 7th (considering the delay) will get this as a physical print in the mail. Details here.  

Previous Bard level bonus art viewable here 🦋

TGnIF 5-19-23

Thank Gnome it’s Friday!!

With belated posting of mother’s day art drawn for my own Mama as a gift. Hope all parentals of the feminine-presenting variety had a lovely day, and are having another lovely one, now 🥰

Also with ranunculus flowers, meaning “You are radiant with charms.”

(Also also, somewhere along the line I fell out of posting the gift art I do 🤷‍♀️ Leaning in the direction of changing that.)

Thank Gnome it’s Friday!!

Featuring a surface-town Mayor, of the Gnomes of “Tock the Gnome.” This was drawn under slight self-imposed duress, with life still being A Lot, BUT I’m glad I pushed forward on it because there are at least three really interesting things happening here that will be discussed in next week’s World Building Wednesday, if all goes to plan.

(I am rubbing my hands together and chuckling in a mildly devious manner.)

TGnIF 5-5-23

Thank Gnome it’s Friday!!

It has been an intense week, dear followers. But it’s not over – “it” meaning “all.” You’re still here. I’m still here. It is not too late.

(Also, I considered rescanning this because of the shadow in the upper corner, near the tip of her hat and the energy there. BUT because of erasing and reworking the pose, there is similar shadowyness around one of her hands, so now I think that means something about calling that energy down, for action. So, with the above in mind, I’m keeping it.)

Thank Gnome it’s Friday!!

Also drawn while coming out of the weird art block/funk I was in earlier this month *knock on wood, gesturing at recent much better progress!! Initiating happy dance of gratitude, too*

Featuring buckeye moths, as inspired by some lovely earrings I have from my amazing Wife. Moths stand for transformation, vulnerability, shadows and symbolic death.

So…. 🤷‍♀️
