Fem! Astarion being a shorty is so cute to me, she looks barely 5' in your drawing haha

Haha, thanks and you’re probably right! At max maybe 5’3. 😂 Something about fem! Astarion being tiny but ever willing to stab tickles me to no end!❤️

Reposting this one separately because I like it lol…

[ceeridwen99]

Fem! Astarion and Qyunn?

this was supposed to be a quick singular drawing…but anon…you have no idea what you’ve done…

I didn’t know I needed to draw him this way…

Neither did I know I needed to see him this way…

These two as women would have been a problem. You have created a problem for me. I can’t stop drawing them like this…(the amount of spice I’ve already drawn…😂)

[ceeridwen99]

This was an anon ask, but I accidentally deleted it…😅

The question was “For in-game Qyunn , what was the moment Qyunn knew he liked Astarion?

It was this one. Sass on 100. Qyunn was attracted the moment he saw Astarion, but it was just that, attraction. At this point in time, if they fell into bed together, he didn’t expect it to go anywhere, but it was here that Qyunn started to grow fond of him.❤️

I've been having such a hard time with my art lately, to the point that I've been art blocked. So art blocked that I've even asked my fan fiction readers for art request of my main couple which I've never done before lololol...)

I've been wracking my brain trying to figure out why it just won't cooperate...and it wasn't until the two most recent pieces that I figured it out... it's such a simple thing I honestly could smack myself over it.

I don't like rendering...

I know how to render art, and I love some good lighting on a picture don't get me wrong, but I simply find no joy in getting to that point in my art. The older I get and as my taste change, the more I enjoy strong line art with minimal and practically no rendering. And this really shouldn't surprise me because most of the art I enjoy looking at are simpler styles that focus on line art, and movement character, and use flat colors.

I think my obsession with rendering comes back from when I was learning how to draw some odd 20+ years ago (yes I'm old). Back then, rendering was all the people focused on, and you had to be good at it to be considered a good artist. Who would have thought that hearing that as an impressionable child would have stuck with me lol.

Most of the art I've made recently that I've liked the most are the ones where I don't focus much on rendering. Or, when I focus only on rendering the face and leaving everything else pretty blank, or with gradients. And I guess, what I'm trying to say is, if you don't like something in your art then...stop doing it.

Because that's what I'm going to do. I'm gong to start experimenting with my style now by focusing on the things that I like doing, as opposed to the things I feel I should be doing. Maybe then, this horrible art block will go away and I'll stop feeling like shit. QwQ

( want to be able to draw before bed again to relax. TTATT Please, please, brain let this be the issue and work with me...)

coming from your last chapter with an art request or two:

TORITH

okay also I'd love to see how you picture Naveen

Here is how I imagine the little stinker.❤️ In all honesty, he’s just a creepy little magpie lol. My art skills can not do him justice.😂

And here is how I imagine Naveen. They're actually supposed to be much more ethereal and unsettling, but this is the limit of my current art skills.😅

Thanks for the request , I had a real fun time making these two!❤️❤️

Hi 👋, My name is Mohammad, and I’m reaching out in a moment of desperate need. I’m a father of three young children living in Gaza, and we are caught in the midst of a catastrophic war. Our home is no longer a safe haven, and the future here seems increasingly uncertain. 💔

I’ve launched a fundraising campaign with the goal of raising $60,000 to relocate my family to a safer place where my children can grow up in peace and have a chance at a brighter future.

Unfortunately, my previous fundraising efforts were abruptly halted when my account was terminated without explanation. However, I remain determined to keep fighting for my family’s safety and well-being. 🫶

If you could take a moment to read our story, consider donating, or simply share our campaign with others, it would make an incredible difference. Every act of kindness, no matter how small, brings us one step closer to safety and a new beginning. 🙏

Thank you for your time, compassion, and support. ❤️‍🩹

I wish you and your family health and safety.🙏🙏🙏

Proper reference sheet for my baby Qyunn (his name is pronounced exactly like Quinn although I’ve been made aware that many people think otherwise lol)

[ceeridwen99]

Oh my Gooooooooood! I am SO speechless right now! I can't even put into words how WONDERFUL this is! My baby looks SO amazing! I can't--

Thank you, so, so, so, so much! I'm so happy you enjoy the story and my OC! I really wish I could put into words how HAPPY this made me! <333333333333333

(also the fun thing about being immortal is he changes his appearance a lot, so him not having any tattoos totally works. he currently doesn't have any in the fic so don't worry about it lol!)

Thank you so much! <3333333

Forgot to check in on this lol, and honestly, I'm surprised by some of the results. The first is not touching a fic at all if it's too long. As someone who doesn't even look at the word count if I think the writing/premise is good and the story is going in a nice direction, I could never imagine not giving a story a try just because it's too long.

But I can also understand how much of a time commitment it can be in this busy world that seems to demand more and more of our attention. I have so many fics in my mark for later that I just don't have the time to read right now, and that makes me sad. But, I don't have time to read even short fics, so again, the length of a fic really isn't a factor in this decision.

I totally get starting a fic and then not finishing it. I've done this before, but it's never because of the length and more because the story didn't vibe with me at the time. But if I've never finished a long fic it's because I was waiting for it to update and then promptly forgot it existed as I got busy.

Overall, it is nice to know that most readers do not care what the length of their fic is. I can assume like me, they only care how good the writing style, plot, romance, or character development is.

Hm, the more you learn.

[ceeridwen99]

I’m never going to finish this, so I’m just gonna go ahead and put it out there. (Drew this like 6 months ago when I was still getting the hang of their stupid faces.) I’ve since simplified my style but I’m low-key into this more detailed one again…

[ceeridwen99]

the MOMENT I sit down to respond to comments, AO3 goes down! You were just working 😭😭😭

[ceeridwen99]

When you read the chapter seven-thousand times, even going as far as to change the font and you STILL miss a typo...
