Here’s some arcana drawings I’ve made over the past summer that I wanted to share with y’all! Featuring @theartofflorence , @timmys-and-scribbles and @lazyvoyager ‘s wonderful apprentices !

I’ve been pretty absent on tumblr because of personal stuff and I couldn’t bring myself to open this app because I lost touch with being active with it. However, I feel better than what I udsed to feel before and want to interact again with y’all lovelies and share my work and adore others work as well! I hope y’all are doing well! 💞💞

Now that it’s been a hot minute since the release, I just wanted to post a couple of my favorite images from my animatic! 💖 That bakery window took me 5~ hours to draw and was on screen for 2.5 seconds 🥲 So I hope you’ll enjoy them more thoroughly!!

As I was re-arranging my arts for 2020 to fit this template… I realized there were several “good” months, and then several. More than several months of emptiness. So I replaced them with overflowing creativity from the good months instead of leaving it empty~ And I’m happy with it! ✨ That’s okay. It’s been a heck of a year. It’s okay. 2021 will come. It will be another, hopeful, beginning.

I didn’t realize I only came up with Khayalan’s sprite design in January… it feels like I’ve been in love with him forever xD Thank you for always being with me - Sketchy, Agent, Lazy, for inspiring me, for encouraging me, for … everything. For… being my friend. For making life bearable, and for quality-of-life improvement tips, and self-care and puns. There’s obviously more but well. You know what I mean. xD Looking back on the art and remembering the process behind each of it… and the empty months and months… and you guys were with me, through it all. All the way through every step of 2020. Thank you for making every tomorrow a new day to look forward to.

Little Things

Obayana/Illain drabble. Illain belongs to the lovely @lazyvoyager !

Obayana hadn’t noticed it start to happen. It was so smooth, so effortless. A nagging little bubble of warmth whenever the sun shimmered on marigold hair, a tightening in his chest at the sound of his laughter.

His feelings had grown for Illain before he’d had a chance to realize them. His own heart snuck up on his mind, skipping a beat at the sound of his voice before he knew the meaning. His eyes found constellations in the space between freckles and divot that appeared on his brow when he concentrated. Everything seemed to brighten in his presence- even the dullest greys growing more vibrant.

Soon all of Obayana’s daydreams included Illain. His kind companionship seemed a constant- Obayana could no longer imagine a place he wanted to be without him in it.

It was on one of their quiet afternoon hikes that the truth hit Obayana, the weight of it slamming into his chest like a bag of brick.

He’d always stuck to the easier trails when Illain tagged along- forgoing physical exertion in favor of watching enthusiasm light up golden eyes. It was spring, and mountain flowers were popping cheerfully through the pine needle bed where they’d slumbered for winter. Illain had disappeared further down the trail, ducking underneath sloping branches. Moments later, he reappeared laughing, one hand full of wild daffodils, the emerald dappled light painting patterns on his fair skin.

Obayana felt his face go several shades of red, his chest tighten. The realization knocked the air out of his lungs.

He was in love.

He would have told him then and there, had he been able to form the words. His tongue seemed to forget how to function, and instead his voice stuttered until he slammed his jaw shut. He’d never been good with words. He certainly wouldn’t be any better now, as Illain stood before him, looking more beautiful than any person, creature, or thing he’d ever seen.

As the weeks passed, he found it was the quiet moments alone, doing mundane things, that he loved the most. He loved the way Illain tucked his hair behind his ear when he was reading, the quick upward twitch of his eyelids when surprised. He especially loved the soft sound of his breathing as he fell asleep curled up against the bakery wall, while Obayana kneaded dough in the early mornings. He’d put an extra batch of pumpkin bread put aside for when Illain inevitably napped through the opening hours, smiling as his cat wound her way around his love’s sleeping form.

Illain’s kindness seemed to fill in the empty places of his heart, ones he didn’t even know existed.

He would tell him, eventually. He would tell him of the love that unfolded like the petals of unending flowers, deepening each day in his heart until he felt it would burst. He would find the words, someday, to explain that the only thing he was certain of, was that he wanted to be beside him as his hair greyed and his skin wrinkled. That he wanted to sleep with him tucked under his arm every night, listening to his steady breathing as the stars came and went.

Maybe someday Obayana would find his voice and tell him of his melting heart, but for now he would just keep memorizing all the little things.

@lazyvoyager Ornata isn’t lying; he can actually read palms, just sometimes often he has ulterior motives.

[kuhal-art]

wheEEEEEze @lazyvoyager why is Illain so cute wtf I love him??! (I’m so sorry I hope he’s at least recognisable in my art style, it started as a headshot so the background and everything is really hashed together ;v; )

[bastart13]

I had to give Illain the fancy cape he deserves

And he’s adorable, swamped in Muriel’s cloak

I couldn't sleep without making something stupid
