*takes a sip from the nth cup of coffee of the day and zooms around like a maniac*

I HAD A VISION.

LIKE THE FREAKING ORACLE OF DELPHI.

I listened to a song that is so Aranea and Mephistopheles coded, while I was in the middle of searching for a book at the library, that I had to cut my trip short and teleport myself back home because I just needed to start putting down the vision I had in my head.

I need to work on this for a bit and it's going to take me a bit of time, because I am afraid of screwing things around with coloring (and I have to decide if I want to go with this dress for Aranea or draw her a new one tbh), BUT.

BUT.

I WILL DRAW THIS TO SHOW *WHY* MEPHISTOPHELES CHOOSE ARANEA TO BE HIS LEGITIMATE CONSORT AND ARCHDUCHESS OF CANIA, OR MY NAME IS NOT NEMO FOREVERMORE FML.

Sorry for the sudden radio silence, I am currently away with little internet available, but I should be back in a couple of days! :D

I will get back to all the tags, replies, dms and ask when I have my pc again!

In the meanwhile, be safe and sound, everyone <3

It's been years since I last rew her, but thanks to Bebe Nemo and our current rewatch of all the season of MLP, I just felt so compelled to draw her again.

You have no idea what Luna has meant to me, and how much I loved her and still do <3

She will forever be my favourite princess <3

Gimme Gimme Gimme a Cowboy after midnight 3.0

So.

If you have been around for a while here, you might remember my first artwork of Cowboy!Jacob from 2021.

Well, a while ago, I was in the middle of my rewatch of Yellowstone, complete with a whole brainstorming session for an AU for Jacob and Dottie (in the roles of Beth and Rip, of course), and I thought I would try to do a redraw of him, to see how much I have improved in my skills.

And this is the result, and fml, I am actually so happy with how it turned out. <3

He is my most handsome man, and the King of my Heart forever more <3

It was brought to my attention by a friend that someone has used one of my couple artworks (Mephistea, to be precise) as traced base for their own couple.

I already solved it peacefully in private,(as it is my costume, I do not like to engage in petty and senseless drama, unless provoked into it), but I will take this occasion to just clarify one thing:

NONE OF MY ARTWORK CAN BE USED AS BASE.

From now on I will put a small watermark on all artworks, so that it is clearer that I do not appreciate this type of behaviour

I do not appreciate it one bit, and frankly, unless it's for training (and even that it's a stretch,unless it's a meme tbh), I find the practice of tracing another artist's artwork as a base a rather indolent behaviour that, trust me, IT WILL NOT help you become a better artist in the long run, because all are you doing is drawing mindlessly, without actually working on learning what needs to be learned.

If you need reference, you have the entirity of the internet at your disposal with photos of all kind to learn how to work around the human figure. And if not, there is always taking pictures of one self to try and figure out.

So please, DO NOT TRACE MY WORK AND DO NOT USE IT AS A BASE.

COMMISSION OPEN

RULES:

I retain the right to turn down any commission that would make me uncomfortable;

When Commissioning me, you agree to my terms and policies;

Please be polite. Disrespectful and rude behavior will not be tolerated and your commission will be canceled if it occurs.

Your Commission is to be used for PERSONAL USE ONLY;

Payment is done in PAYPAL ONLY and in EURO (or the equivalent in AMERICAN DOLLARS);

Payment is done upfront and won't be refunded UNLESS something happens on my side that renders me unable to finish the commission. If for whatever reason I find myself unable to finish your commission, you will get a full refund, and that’s THE ONLY CASE a refund shall be issued back;

For Commissions over 100 Euros, 50% of the payment will be paid upfront and the other 50% after you receive the finalized sketch (there is to say, before I move on to do the lineart and colouring);

Any addition/changing AFTER we have agreed on the finalized sketch will entail additional costs;

When drawing your characters, I will need CLEAR VISUAL REFERENCES, for both the pose and the physical appearances, especially if the characters have a complex design (examples: mood boards of your character, other artworks of your characters, a 3d render, a face claim (tho, in that case, I will try to capture the resemblance WITHOUT copying the IRL person), etc, etc. Pinboards on Pinterest are useful to me to get an idea of what you want, but not nearly enough for me to fully understand your design). If you won’t provide all these references, I will automatically assume that this falls under the category of "Character Design”, and the fees will be adjusted accordingly (Original Price + 30% of it, since I will have to craft the characters. However, while discussing your commission, I will tell you right away if the references are enough or if I need more, so you won't end up with any unexpected surprises).

Due to the fact that I am a mom, I will estimate the artwork to be ready (after the full payment) in a period of 2-3 weeks, during which I will send you constant updates. If there is any delay, I shall notify you in that regard;

Please be mindful that, at present time, I am offering only a simple background.

Once the artwork is complete, I shall send you the high-resolution PNG/JPEG format to your mail;

I will retain the right to post the finished commission on my art page unless agreed otherwise;

Do not claim the artwork as your own.

Do not edit/alter finished artwork.

Do not remove my watermark/signature.

Do not use the commissioned piece in any technology related to NFTs, cryptocurrency, or AI.

If you are interested into commissioning me, feel free to contact me at my email address nemo.turunen1889@gmail.com , with the Object being"Commission". Contact me only if you are interested in Commissioning.

In the Email, make sure to include:

-Commission Type;

-Character Visual References;

-References for both Pose AND expression, if you have anything in

particular in mind;

-Your Paypal email in order for me to send you your invoice;

-Your Tumblr Handler, so I know who I am talking to;

Please, consider reblogging this.

Thank you so much for your consideration!

Ok, y'all, I got one more post to share about OCs of any kind (it's in my drafts, so I need to just add a couple of stuff to it) and then I am going to take a short sabbatical from sharing anything OC related (could be a week, can be a month, I don't like to put myself in a box) while I focus on commissions and personal fanarts (the BRAINROT is real). :)

So, if you see this blog or my artblog quiet about them , I am just on sabbatical :)

Will be back with a vengeance when I feel motivated to draw OCs again lololol

[nemo-in-wonderland]

someday I will finish this version of Dorothea as a Pokemon Gym Leader (fml, I got Theodosia, Adam, Mathias, Colette and Antoine and Jacob as well in this AU) that I did a LOOONG time ago as a stylistic exercise.

Some day I will.

[nemo-in-wonderland]

"Do you think he will notice my new hat, Toinette?"

After pinning her hat to her hair, Antoine, the eldest of the De Beaumont's siblings, turned to answer her youngest sister. But when she looked toward her, she couldn't help the small clench in her chest at her sister's hopeful face.

Colette was wearing one of Antoine's own old robes, that she herself had adjusted so that it would fit her.

The garments´cut was outdated, and even if she had done her best to preserve them, she could see they were starting to wear out; the straw in her own hat lost its shine and the ribbon attached to it was stitched here and there, stitches she herself had placed.

Much like their own dresses -much like everything they had in their small cottage - nothing was up to date with the latest fashion.

But as Antoine let her eyes run all over her sister's figure, she stopped to look at the hat that was sitting on Colette's auburn ringlets, the only fashionable item of all her ensemble.

It had cost a pretty penny, Antoine thought, as she remembered how much she herself had quarreled with her twin, Mathias, so that they could save enough money to buy their sister a hat to impress the man her heart was yearning for.

She pursed her lips at the thought of the man himself: Monsieur Arno Dorian, a close friend of Mathias and the ward of the propertied De La Serre family, a dandy with brooding eyes, a penchant for snark, and a love for the bottle that didn't make him the least agreeable to her presence.

Although Mathias had sworn he had aplenty, Antoine failed to appreciate his good qualities; And yet, her sweet, witty sister was absolutely besotted with him, to the point Antoine had no heart to remind her that they were a family with no rank, sometimes even unable to buy the food they all needed to survive.

And when Lady Dorothea had organized a picnic to celebrate the arrival of summer and issued an invitation to them as well, Antoine, despite her reservations, had had no qualms accepting it, knowing fully well that Arno Dorian - the dandy himself - would be there.

Both twins had agreed to forgo buying beef for two weeks, to afford that precious little hat and bring their sister the happiness she so much deserved, after so many tribulations and so much sorrow.

With a sigh and a sweet smile that only Colette could bring out of her, Antoine took the silk ribbons of her sister's hat, and started to tie them in an elegant knot. Once she was done, she kissed her sister's nose, and pinched her cheeks, not unkindly.

"If he has any wit to himself, he will notice you, dearest," she said as she kissed her sister's nose, before pinching her cheeks with gentleness. "Now, let us go. We cannot let Lady Dorothea wait upon us."

Hello hello!

I am back!

Sort of!

After spending the last few days fully immersed in Jane Austen's books and movies, I feel like I am steadily getting better (fingers crossed and knocking on wood, for good measure).

Not going to lie, literally drowning in all my comfort books and movies DID help soothe my poor brain, and I found myself inspired by them all as well.

So, I started doing some sketches pertinent to the Regency Era with -you guessed it - my beloved sons and daughters from Assassin's Creed, and I came up with an idea with all my ocs and their loved one (canon and ocs) and it's now brewing in my brain, bubbling away.

Also, I think I might have found a way to colour my drawing in a way that's not too exterting on me and my psyche, and yet, at the same time, it's still pleasant to the sight.

I am quite happy with the result, I have to say! <3

So, allow me to offer this small artwork and drabble that I worked on yesterday, featuring my dearest Unity daughters, Antoine and Colette.

This is VERY MUCH inspired by my most favourite among Jane Austen's works, Sense and Sensibility.

Seriously, I just ABSOLUTELY adore it, as well the movie AND the tvseries (which, hilariously enough, was what actually gave me the idea to create a whole AU)

Well, I hope you like this! <3

Love Will Come To You

"Love is there when you open the door And you step off the trail you knew before Through the streets and the houses of gods you roam And on their altars you lay your heart of stone Till all laughter is claws on your skin And your moments of clarity scream the hell within When you fade like a rose in the gloom Love waits outside your room

Like morning dew Your love will come again to you"

"Love Will Come to You" - Poets of The Fall

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello Hello.

Here I am with another artwork that I poured my whole heart into.

And let me tell you, it was long long long overdue.

It was truly time that I drew my Colette and Arno together, finally having found that happiness, that tranquillity both of them deserved SO VERY MUCH.

The funny thing is that Colette was created at the same time I created Dottie, but for reasons unknown to me (*ahemmyhyperfixationforjacobahem*), I never gave my darling Unity brainchild the love that she deserved.

But yesterday, while I was lying on the couch unable to do anything else (wasn't feeling too good, but nothing to worry about. Just the Monthly Curse coming and visiting me), I was listening to music and a song, the very same that gave the title to this artwork, spoke to me in ways that it never had before.

Or rather.

It's one of my favourites songs from PotF, so I listened to it quite often, but the thing is, I always associated it with another OTP of mine (and you can imagine which one, it's not exactly rocket science at this point lol).

But boy, I was wrong.

That song was Arno and Colette's all along.

And while I allowed myself to go to that happy place where all the feelings of love and joy and hope always envelop me when I allow myself to feel, I knew that I needed to draw them.

I needed to draw Arno finally happy, finally hopeful, finally at peace after a life of pain and strife at the side of his Colette.

I needed to draw the pure joy that comes from feeling like you have finally found your place in the world, secure, because you know that if something might happen, if the winds were to start blowing mercilessly, there is someone tethering you to the ground, offering you shelter and repose.

I needed to draw that.

(iamabsolutelynotprojectingagain*ahem*).

Anyway.

I hope you will like this artwork, because I, for once, absolutely adore it.

Ok, I kinda booted up The Sims after *ages* that I didn't play with it and fml I just forgot how many characters I recreated on there!! 👀

The entirety of the The Beaumont-Starrick children, Lucia, Aura, my De Beaumonts (in both their XVIII self and their Gargoyle self - blame my Noir!AU, that AU is neck and neck with my Arthurian/ASOIAF one in terms of how much I obsess over), and of course, my Victorian Jacob and Dottie lololol (no, the Starrick-Frye children are unfortuntely on my console, and maybe some day I will recreate them on PC as well. Maybe.

But since I was already there, I thought to myself, lemme just grab a few pictures, so that I can show them to my mooties.

So, here you have them!

(long post, so I will keep everything under the divider lolol)

MATHIAS DE BEAUMONT (XVIII Century)

MATHIAS DE BEAUMONT (Noir!AU)

(also, and just because I want to make things clear: my Mephistopheles is actually a byproduct of my brain when I created Mathias like this in 2023, not the other way around. So, the most angelic of all my oc is actually the reason Mephistopheles exists in the way he exists with my Aranea. All the smexiness and none of Mathias' most redeeming qualities).

DOROTHEA STARRICK (XVIII Century)

DOROTHEA STARRICK (Noir!AU)

DOROTHEA STARRICK (Victorian AU)

THE DE BEAUMONT-STARRICK CHILDREN (Noir and XVIII Century AU)

--LÉONIE (eldest and twin to Lucien)

--LUCIEN (second born and twin to Léonie)

--SOPHIE

--VALERIE

--ROSALINE

--SEBASTIÉN

LUCIA, COLETTE AND AURA (Personal AU)

AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST (even though he is not an OC of mine)

JACOB FRYE (listen, it's HARD AS FUCK trying to reproduce his face, and I tried my best with the tool I had. You have no idea how many hours it took me to find suitable mods to try and do his face, so give me grace)

Anyway, that's all for now because I need to update the pose mod otherwise I cannot do shit lolol

but I just wanted to share with you this <3

I truly wish to talk more about my De Beaumont's children, because oh my gods, they are a whole band of spitfires, and lemme tell you, THEY ARE THE ONLY ONE THAT CAN MAKE ANTOINE ALWAYS SAY YES TO EVERYTHING. Antoine has finally found a proper match against her lolol

"When leaves have fallen and skies turned to grey The night keeps on closing in on the day A nightingale sings his song of farewell You better hide for her freezing hell On cold wings, she's coming, you better keep moving For warmth, you'll be longing, nightingale Come on, just feel it, don't you see it? Well, you better believe it

When she embraces, your heart turns to stone She comes at night when you're all alone And when she whispers, your blood shall run cold You better hide before she finds you

Whenever she is raging, she takes all life away Haven't you seen? Haven't you seen the ruins of our world? Whenever she is raging, she takes all life away Haven't you seen? Haven't you seen the ruins of our world?"

ICE QUEEN - WITHIN TEMPTATION

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am finally done with this artwork, dear gods.

Aranea in her demon form.

The physical embodiement of Strife, Rage and Vengeance, all wrapped into one single devilish-drow form.

Cue to Mephisto having an even harder time focusing on his stuff, because, fml, he just cannot believe what he has in front of him, whenever she enters his room lololol

And also, I love this song for Aranea, it's just *perfect* for her, the instrumental part, the lyrics.....PERFECTION. I just can see her overseeing Cania, with one hell of a chilly gaze, as she prepares herself to go and raid a whole town to bring souls to Mephistopheles, with the scythe that he himself has forged for her.

My deranged Queen of Cania, gods how I love her <3

Also also, I absolutely adore the garments I created for her here, her "soul-hunting" robe, it's on point.

Well, I hope you will like this <3

Can you truly blame me if in the end I went with her normal colours lololol

I don't know, it's probably because I am still working on how to render her recognizible and how to transport her normal features in this new form, but I didn't feel comfortable into giving her a new palette JUST YET.

I have all the intention of using the purple/pink/white palette I was using while sketching her, but for now, I genuinely feel more comfortable working on her with her usual palette!

I still need to adjust a couple of things (some mistakes I noticed while I was working on the flat colours), but for now I am happy with how it's turning out <3
