#Luzia Cotado

[rosiethorns88]

I'm sitting on a backlog of unposted artwork since last year, and only have recently scraped together some free time to catch up with tidbits in my to-do list! It's out of order, but I'm posting the artwork I provided @illumicrate as a bonus print for their edition of The Familiar by @lbardugo -- because it's very leafy, and I've been recently enjoying planting some new annuals for my neighborhood pollinators! A scene from early in the book with Luzia is reviving a withered grape vine as a demonstration with her singing. (captured in foil!) This was such a fun set of character designs, for two very fun characters. Luzia and Santángel are like a pair of spicy cats meeting for the first time before eventually seeking each other's warmth for naptime. Santángel especially, I wanted to capture in his expression the stirring curiosity pushing out through his exhaustive apathy. More art dumps to come!

to soothe his sting

Will you kiss me now, Santángel? And who was he to deny her? Luzia was warm from the bath, her heat spreading through her mouth, down his throat, and igniting deep in his stomach. Undress for me. Who was he to tell her no? Naked and raw, all of him bared to her, body and any of his damned soul he may have left. No was not a word he remembered how to say. Then kiss me again. - Luzia and Santángel during the fade to black.

books i read in 2024: the familiar by leigh bardugo

"because it is a language that spends its power in command and conquest. but you were wrong when you said that you didn't need the words. you do need them. just as God did when He set this whole miserable clockwork running. language creates possibility. sometimes by being used. sometimes by being kept secret."

How lucky for Santángel to fall in love with a woman capable of overcoming his curse

Luzia drew the chair from her dressing table closer to the fire and sat. Her legs could no longer support her. She was tired and cold and she'd never been more scared.  She kept her eyes on the coals and said, " When we were on your horse, I wanted you to keep riding. I wanted you to charge through the gates and onto the road. I didn't want to come back."  For a long moment, she thought he would say nothing.  When he finally spoke, his voice was quiet, as if he were confessing. " I thought the same thing," he said. "I wondered how far we might go."
