Today is my OC's birthday, I tried drawing him in a more realistic style.
I am trying to figure out how to tag this post properly, because it is not very interesting to view a character without its story...
Appreciation post for all the beginner artists who work hard despite the AI looming over us. You are fabulous. You are precious. Keep up the hard work, you are needed.
at least can all we agree that the original gay flag with the magic and sex colours is BEAUTIFUL and it should make a comeback
just once I want to see a good post critiquing makeup culture that doesn’t turn out to be made by some janky radfem blog

I have discovered and become obsessed with Slay the Princess. While I cannot draw humans, and so cannot draw the princesses, I am able to draw animals.
So here is my Smitten design !
I love stained glass.
This was largely inspired by this collection of photos; I'd been wanting to do a redraw of an old stained glass founders drawing from a while back and it was such a perfect reference I knew I had to give it a go. It kinda fits into my medieval au, although it's a lot more extravagant than is probably realistic lol.
Some fun things to note:
It's based off of the ending of The First Battle with the founders swearing their devotion to Starclan. It's more supposed to depict how the modern clans (or kingdoms) remember the mythology rather than being an unbiased depiction of events.
It's displayed at four trees, hence the oak leaves bordering each window.
When Sky's Kingdom left the forest Cloudstar broke Skystar's window in anger. Rather than repair it the other monarchs just removed the window entirely.
The two skeletons represent Jackdaw's Cry and Falling Feather; I imagine they're remembered as a cautionary tale about the dangers of sharing blood across kingdom borders (as well as representing the mass grave buried beneath four trees)
Storm is remembered as the first angel of Starclan and is said to be the one who covers the stars and moon with clouds to show Starclans anger.
