update: guys, i read the lotus empire and i am SHOOK.

i loved it so much and it also crushed me at the end.

im definitely making doodles for it and i’ll share my thoughts soon ❤️

THE BURNING KINGDOMSSS 🔥🔥🔥🔥

I freaking LOVE this book series, so here are some doodles of some characters 🩷🩷

1: The main stars of the show, Priya and Malini. Their dynamic was very interesting and the end of The Oleander Sword KILLED ME. I’m SO EXCITED for The Lotus Empire, and I swear, if they don’t get back together, I’ll literally cry. Priya’s betrayal literally made me want to slam doors and cry my heart out, which is the first time I’ve felt that way about a book.

2: Bhumika and Jeevan. Okay, tbh, i was shipping them ever since the scene where Jeevan helps Bhumika with her earring. The two sre literally meant to be, and when Bhumika lost her memories, I wanted to scream, because they both are SO CUTE together. I really want them to get together in the third book and for Bhumika to regain her memories. I kinda based Bhumika off of Aishwarya Rai from the movie Ponniyin Selvan, because I feel like Aishwarya’s style in the movie could also work for Bhumika. As for Jeevan, I based him off of Jayam Ravi in Ponniyin Selvan, and Prabhas from Baahubali, because their designs combined would make a good design for Jeevan (also because i couldn’t find any art of Jeevan, which is sad because he’s such an underrated character)

Okay, that’s enough rambling, I hope you enjoy my doodles <

Remember the five minutes in Oleander Sword where everything was fine, and then nothing devastating ever happened to these characters 🙃

priya: we can't manipulate, manwhore, or mansplain our way out of this one

Bhumika, down on her last nerve: manslaughter it is then

[itmightrain]

"Bhumika had never thought she'd be the kind of woman who would play with a child like this. As the wife of the governor of Ahiranya she'd known she would be required to uphold a certain image. Holding children was all well and good, but running with them? Chasing them like a maid servant? That would've been unacceptable for a woman of her status. But she was not the governor's wife any longer. She was free."

The Jasmine Throne (Book 1 of The Burning Kingdoms)

Just finished reading ‘The Jasmine Throne’ by Tasha Suri! (11/26/2022)

This book was monstrously amazing in my eyes. It took me a few chapters to actually get into it but once I did, I was immersed and couldn’t put the book down. I’m a lover of fantasy books and also wanted something very sapphic and was guided to this book and let just say, it did not disappoint.

The book follows multiple POVs but the main two are Malini and Priya. Malini is the princess to the Parijat, sister to the emperor, and a traitor who is exiled and imprisoned. Priya is a maidservants, who tries to not be seen, has a tragic past and a large secret. Both have a connected through loved ones dying in fire. For Priya it was her temple siblings and Malini her ‘heart’ sister/ ladies in waiting. The other POVs are Bhumika, Ashok, who are the only surviving temple siblings of Priya, and Rao who is a prince allied with Malini. It’s not easy writing multiple POVs but Suri did an incredible job. None of them were boring, they connected everyone together and gave you the much needed individual depth & intimate moments of each character. You can easily see how each one traumas shapes who they are. From Priya’s soft heart and ability to still love, Malini cunning ability to use and manipulate any and everyone for her own gains and not feeling guilty. Bhumika who is wise, a mother to be, and someone in my eyes, who didn’t do enough to protect her siblings and now makes it her duty to protect everyone of Ahiranya. Ashok who believes the only way to rebuild what was taken is to burn and/or kill everything that stands in their way. Rao who was given his fate at birth and has to walk that journey alone until the right time to reveal all. As I said, Suri writing is compelling and fascinating, and does not disappoint. I loved so much about this book.

Spoiler warning!!!! I heard about this cute little Waterfall scene before I read the book, and let’s just say it was worth all the hype. My Queer little heart bursted with joy. Malini and Priya dynamic is something I will obsess over for a while. The tenderness and fierceness of it!

“There are other versions of you that I don’t know. But this one…” Her fingers were against Malini’s lips. “This one is mine.” 🥹

5/5 ⭐️ from me. Anyone who loves Sapphic Books or just good fantasy books with strong female leads should read.

The Oleander Sword (Book 2 of The Burning Kingdoms)

Just finished The Oleander Sword today (Dec. 3rd 2022) and sheesh, this book broke me. My emotional are all over the place lol. All I can say is WTF!

I think I enjoyed this book a lot more then The Jasmine Throne, but isn’t that how series work, each book being better then the last. In my opinion it had a smig faster pace compared to TJT. It’s definitely a middle, set up book but still extremely satisfying and compelling. It dives deeper into faith, war, politicking, trust, and everything else that was started in book 1. I enjoyed and am very scared of the Magical system and yaksa the was shown in this book.

The thing I found the most interesting was Bhumika. Her POVs and storyline in Ahiranya this book was… a lot. I was hungry for more of her POVs then anybody else. My good Sis was stressed to the max the entire time. Good thing she has Jeevan. I enjoyed all the characters. we got to know more about Rao and Aditya and get into more of their friendship and dynamic. We got to see more of Prince Chandra. More morally grey choices both Malini and Priya have to make.

The Romance. The Oleander Sword slaps you with romance between Priya and Malini and I loved it all. Their dynamic is amazing and tender. Suri writes it were it doesn’t feel like she’s going out of her way to create romance between them, it’s just so natural feeling. The vulnerability, the emotions, the desire and need both Priya and Malini have in this relationship is *french Kiss* everything. You are rooting for a relationship you know deep down won’t work in their political circumstances. Chapter 41…. All I can say is thank you, Tasha Suri.

“Let me show you how to break me” -Priya

And now that I’ve thanked you, Suri, I want to cuss you out in the same breath for the emotional turmoil the ending put me through (and everyone who read this book).

Once again 5/5 ⭐️. Suri has created something special with The Jasmine Throne and The Oleander Sword and I can’t wait to read book 3 of The Burning Kingdom.

Btw my favorite line in the book is by Rao, ‘What is a star, he thought, in Aditya’s slurred, smiling voice, but a distant fire, reaching for you across across worlds?“.

*spoiler* for everyone who read the book, is Rao in love with Aditya?

hola amigos ¿cómo están?, espero que bien amigos, bueno amigos, aquí va un nuevo dibujo y que presento a un grupo de personajes originales que llevaba mucho tiempo de no aparecer en mis dibujos y que quise darles una nueva oportunidad para así mostrar qué tan diferente es mi estilo de dibujo actualmente en comparación con el último dibujo que hice de ellos y más considerando el cómo he ido acostumbrándome a dar más carne a los personajes que dibujo, mientras busco mantener las proporciones correctas por como no es fácil mantener tu estilo de dibujo en la medida que vas aprendiendo nuevas técnicas y métodos para hacer tus personajes interesantes y también, ir progresando en buscar un estilo de hacer arte que se sienta que sea más a gusto para ti, mientras se observa que el cómo el mismo evoluciona con el paso del tiempo, bueno amigos, sin dar más vueltas presento a Marco, William, Constanza, Bhumika y Mohamed Reaparecer la Evolución de mi Estilo de Arte Durante la Última Década

Aquí vemos al joven chita junto con amigos el perro galgo de ropas elegantes, la chica puma con traje de equipo de beisbol genérca, la chica tigresa con preciosas ropas de seda y el joven león con un color de melena poco peculiar reunirse tras varios años de no aparecer y que lo hacen mostrando no sólo los cambios observados en su ropa, sino que también se puede observar los cambios experimentados en mi estilo de dibujo durante la última década y que dos de los cambios más evidentes se encuentra en el hecho de que ahora tiendo a preocuparme más con el tema de la proporción de los personajes, por como procupo de no sólo que las caderas y cinturas tengan el largo que deben tener para dibujar bien la musculatura de la zona pectoral del cuerpo, sino que también procure de hacer los brazos y las piernas con el largo correcto para no tener el problema de las piernas cortas y los brazos cortos, mientras vemos que el otro cambio evidente está en el hecho de ponerle musculatura a los personajes cuando en el pasado no era usual que lo hiciera, pero que lo he tenido que hacer para mostrar que los personajes que dibujo tienen músculos y que no sólo simples personajes de palo, cosa que deja notarse por el mayor grosor que tienen estos y que procuro de darles el ancho correcto a estos por como no es fácil dibujar musculatura a tus personajes y que esto no sólo estén sobredimensionados, sino que no se ajusten adecuadamente al esqueleto que tiendo a dibujarles para dar cuenta de cómo es la pose de los chicos, además de que los músculos ayudan a dar cuenta de la anchura que tienen tus personajes, mientras buscas darles la forma correcta considerando las proporciones corporales que poseen y que sirven para probarte a ti mismo y el cómo tu estilo de dibujo evoluciona en la medida que pasa el tiempo

Bueno amigos, espero que les guste, al ver que llevaba un buen tiempo que no dibujaba a estos personajes y que hice como una forma de practicar mi estilo de dibujo y dar cuenta de algunos de los cambios observados en mi estilo de dibujo y que se han hecho más evidentes en la medida que he ido migrando de un programa de dibujo a otro que dejan ver que ello vale la pena hacerlo y más cuando notas que tu estilo de dibujo va cambiando por el tiempo y que te permite explorar nuevas formas de dibujar a tus personajes, los paisajes en los que se envuelven y también explicar diferentes cosas que dejan ver que tu estilo de arte no sólo evoluciona con el paso del tiempo, sino que también las cosas que creas con ello también lo hace y que eso se puede ver cuando haces un análisis retrospectivo de tus trabajos en el pasado y el cómo los recreas en el presente y que dejan ver que el proceso evolutivo visto de entonces a ahora es un proceso que vale la pena explorar y más cuando vas llevando un buen tiempo haciendo estas cosas y sabes el valor que ello tiene no sólo para ti, sino para la gente que disfruta de tus trabajos cuando menos te das cuenta, bueno amigos, disfruten el dibujo y nos vemos

Hello friends, how are you? I hope you are well friends, well friends, here is a new drawing and I present a group of original characters that had not appeared in my drawings for a long time and I wanted to give them a new opportunity to show what My drawing style is so different today compared to the last drawing I made of them and even more so considering how I have become accustomed to giving more flesh to the characters I draw, while I try to maintain the correct proportions because it is not easy to maintain your style. of drawing as you learn new techniques and methods to make your characters interesting and also, progress in finding a style of making art that feels more comfortable for you, while observing how it evolves with the passage of time, well friends, without further ado I present Marco, William, Constanza, Bhumika and Mohamed Reappear the Evolution of my Art Style During the Last Decade

Here we see the young cheetah along with friends, the greyhound dog with elegant clothes, the puma girl with a generic baseball team outfit, the tigress girl with beautiful silk clothes and the young lion with an unusual mane color, reunite after several years of not appear and they do so showing not only the changes observed in their clothing, but you can also observe the changes experienced in my drawing style over the last decade and two of the most obvious changes are found in the fact that now I tend to worry more about the proportion of the characters, because I make sure not only that the hips and waists have the length they should have to draw well the musculature of the pectoral area of the body, but I also try to make the arms and legs with the correct length to avoid having the problem of short legs and short arms, while we see that the other obvious change is in the fact of putting muscles on the characters when in the past it was not usual to do so, but I have had to do it to show that the characters I draw have muscles and not just simple stick characters, something that can be noticed by the greater thickness that these have and that I try to give them the correct width because it is not easy to draw muscles for your characters and that not only are they oversized, but they do not fit properly to the skeleton that I tend to draw for them to account for what the pose of the boys is like, in addition to the fact that the muscles help to account for the width that your characters have, while you seek to give them the correct shape considering the body proportions they have and that serve to test yourself and how your drawing style evolves as time goes by

Well friends, I hope you like it, seeing that it had been a long time since I drew these characters and that I did it as a way to practice my drawing style and account for some of the changes observed in my drawing style and that have become more evident as I have been migrating from one drawing program to another that show that it is worth doing and even more so when you notice that your drawing style changes over time and that it allows you to explore new ways of drawing. to your characters, the landscapes in which they are involved and also explain different things that show that your art style not only evolves over time, but also the things you create with it also do so and that this can be see when you do a retrospective analysis of your works in the past and how you recreate them in the present and that shows that the evolutionary process seen from then to now is a process that is worth exploring and even more so when you have been doing it for a long time. these things and you know the value that it has not only for you, but for the people who enjoy your work when you least realize it, well friends, enjoy the drawing and see you
