I've added captions to the sketches this time, I didn't notice it was an option before!

I haven't included a couple of cliff + eugene pics I drew yesterday, since I want to draw a few more and post them on patreon together, but here they are if you missed them on social media.

So right after my last sketchbook update it snowed quite a bit! I fucking LOVE snow so I was very excited and spent soo long walking each day. I did a couple of paintings of the snow that I didn't get location photos of, but I did get little videos- here. I've been trying to use instagram more lately, so there's a few process videos on there of the art in this update!
My paint actually froze on the paper, and on the palette! I held a handwarmer under it, and it all blurred together when it melted. A temporary work of art!


It had thawed in our village after a couple of days, BUT I could still see it in the distance, so I walked about 5 miles to find and enjoy it for as long as possible... snowchasing? I'm broken hearted the snow is now melted, but maybe we'll get more soon.

This one was for the landowner, who doesn't mind me stomping around everywhere ;P. There's a tiny process for these here.


A couple more painting locations!


Befriending the local wildlife, mostly they just want food, but one or two appreciate scratches.
I did not expect this haha.


I wonder if herdwick sheep are universally grumpy, these ones stomp their feet at me when I pass too close ;P.

It's getting frosty again, and I've been thriving haha. I love how the world looks when the sun is so low and everything is frosted over. Praying for snow again!


Thank you for reading my silly love letter to snow and countryside, I hope you all have a great month <3

Ive never been a character artist, and only in the laat few years have i done any sort of art, and always stick to landscapes and animals. But this makes me want to make ocs and try to draw.

I hope you give it a go! I feel like there's so much joy in bringing something/somebody that doesn’t exist to life.

Yay Eddie 👏🏻🥰 what a cutie! I also have never related to Cliff so hard as “if you are real you are a real dickhead God” cause fuck I said that a lot even though I don’t actually believe in God.

hienough

your composition skills and color always puts me in awe!!

These are so fascinating to look at, makes me want to keep a sketchbook. I never have, where it's part journal, part practice, but it looks so COOL. Also YAY more Cliff, and Astarion & Halsin getting a happy ending!!!

I really love the epilogue of your sex worker au! And all the sketches too. But that end was wonderful. :)

Your updates are so generous i have to microdose them over a few days lmao. Black mold sucks ass, trying to fight it sucks even more, feel for you.

Accidentally saw someone mention the AU finale so you already know i had to prop open my eyelids and lock tf innnnn. God bless you, this is everything. Halsin must be thrown for a loop by someone dependent on him in so many ways displaying that kind of affection but that's Astarion we're talking of. Easily Top-5 Astarion AUs everrrrrrr i caN'T—

Hahaha yeah I didn't really want to go into the complexities of it which is why I ended it there, but I'm glad you enjoyed it! I imagine it stays as fairly chaste affection for a good while, rather than the games narrative of astarion going all in, since he already tried that on halsin earlier and got rejected.

You've inspired me to start up using old sketchbooks again and its been so fun??? Thank you! On another note, I really love seeing your work in such a pure form and what kind of materials/colors/landscapes catch your eye to focus on !!

the intricate rituals in the football pic …. mmmmm

pippin

also i love seeing the little baby starries still in your sketchbook, they make me happy

malacandrax

this is so exciting to hear I love spreading sketchbook propaganda haha. Also! thank you so much!

malacandrax

I forgot to reply to this part- thank you!!! I am sticking this out and gluing it to my forehead tbh, I often feel like I'm not doing enough :P

malacandrax

I'm so glad it's inspiring! I really love it, I feel like including little life doodles or sticking things in makes it way less pressure, and it's so nice to look back on too.

malacandrax

Right, he's had it rough, and the world is so rough, it's hard to believe it's all planned

Kaylee

Yes it so hard to believe that all the bad things that happened your life that cause so much pain/suffering was ment to be that way and not be cynical/jaded
