Chibi versions of the team from the Leif & Thorn magical girl AU, doing their best Sailor Moon poses!

Doubles as a new color reference for these designs, revamped with a softer palette:

[leifandthorn]

Knights from Leif & Thorn as Lackadaisy-style kitties! Left to right: Rowan, Juniper, Violet, Pascentia, Birch, and Thorn.

[leifandthorn]

Putting all the the Moon Knight pose studies from @bicatperson to good use -- a collage of Leif & Thorn characters mid-battle.

This is all the Order of the Chalice knights with 100+ appearances, which comes out to "Thorn, his original team, and Pascentia."

[leifandthorn]

You know what's cute? Tiny people in perfume bottles, that's what's cute.

April’s new Patreon wallpaper  features lil' glass-bottled versions of Juniper, Birch, Violet, Rowan, and Pascentia, from Leif & Thorn. Mostly with flowers/berries/leaves from the plant they're named after. Didn't really work for Pas, so I gave her amethysts and dove feathers. Comes in a whole bunch of sizes! Download whichever one(s) fit your needs.

Leif & Thorn Q&A #128-130

[leifandthorn]

"I'll do a simple Patreon-exclusive wallpaper this month," I said. "Just some small figures in plain clothes," I said. Next thing you know, I'm drawing 10 figures and spending all evening looking up reference poses of runners from multiple angles. There's a color-tinted version, which I think works better as a desktop, and a clear version, just for fun.

[leifandthorn]

Still a ways off from either Bi or Pan Day of Visibility -- but here's a bi/pan ensemble from Leif & Thorn anyhow!

Left to right: sweet knight Birch, tattooed miner Annie, cute cook Elisa, magical mom Laurel, helpful gardener Leif, social justice goth Hyacinth, shy nerd Hazel, magical dad Ebony, and optimistic guard Geirölul. (...full disclosure, their languages use different categories for sexuality, so the distinction of which ones got flagged "bi" and which got "pan" is pretty arbitrary.)

[leifandthorn]

Dipping back into the Leif & Thorn Gem AU, for some size comparisons! Thorn and his original knights...all the ones who survived the dragon, that is. (Plus, Annie.) Blue Quartz (Birch), Kambaba Jasper (Annie), Ocean Jasper (Birch/Annie), Aqua Aura Quartz (Birch+Thorn)

Green Ruby (Juniper), Blue Garnet (Juniper+Thorn), Sapphire (Thorn)

Amethyst (Violet), Lavender Moon Quartz (Violet+Thorn), Lepidolite (Violet+Rowan+Thorn), Botswana Agate (Violet+Rowan), Carnelian (Rowan), Piemontite (Rowan+Thorn)

Peach Quartz (Peach), Rutile Quartz (Marula)

Promo banner for the Leif & Thorn Volume 1 print campaign -- where the main goal is 50% raised!

Along with our lovely title characters, I grabbed a lineup of the ensemble cast that would highlight some of the major storylines in Volume 1...while forming that rainbow color scheme, of course.

[Image description: A map of the world that Leif & Thorn takes place in. On and around it are various characters explaining how polyamory and plural marriages work in their respective cultures. (Birch’s mother had her arms around her husbands. They are all smiling). Birch’s mother: If we’re talking about polyamorous relationships, West Coast countries have got that all figured out. Take Getsun — it has an elaborate series of laws for just about every multi-person marriage and/or parenting situation you could think of. Like our “one husband and one wife got married, had some kids, brought in a second husband, had some more kids” life story.

Birch: I was born and raised in Ceannis, which doesn’t have such an elaborate system . . . But it tries to recognize marriages from other countries, however they work, so my parents’ marriage is legally protected here. Annie: Getsunese law also says a marriage doesn’t end when you reincarnate! So — if you’re not a long-runner, you won’t know who you’re past-married to, but by golly, you are! I’m all right not knowing the specifics. Gosh, I like having my husband all to myself right about now. . . . Not that we don’t ever have anyone else involved, if y’know what I mean. We just don’t want to marry them.

(There’s an image of Valrún smiling at two people who are grayed out. Leif is below them). Leif: Sønheim only recognizes “marriage” between two people. Multi-person relationships still happen — they aren’t illegal or anything! It’s just, you can only get married in pairs. As for parents: you can legally register up to four for each kid. Probably that started for cases where the original two got divorced, then both got remarried? I have . . . well, I had . . . three.

Colata: The United Islands ‘ave a standard legal by-the-by for two-person marriages, and a “build-your-own sundae” sort of approach for anythin’ else. We made it work out awright, though, eh? Fragaria: Lucky we already had a taste of complicated contracts, from going into business together . . . Unnamed Ice Cream Wife #3: Oh yes — compared to that, getting the three of us married was a piece of cake.

Thorn: Ceannis has kind of a two-tier system, where you can have a “marriage” with up to . . . I think four people? But everybody has to name one person as their “primary partner.” It doesn’t have to be symmetrical — anyone in the group can go with anyone else. This, uh, unsurprisingly, leads to a lot of drama. Kinda wouldn’t be surprised if it was set up that way on purpose, to discourage Ceannic polycules from getting married. Don’t know why I’m even talking about this? I’m not in a polycule. (Leif and Kale are standing on either side of him and looking at him). End description.]
