#maidens and knights

[amalthea-felsblood]

Beneath the sky of dawning light, Stood Marian, maiden pure and bright. Her gaze turned north, where mountains loom, A heart aflame to break the gloom.

The winds of Ishgard softly sigh, Through towers tall, they whisper by. Yet in her chest, a longing stirs, For him, her knight, whose vow is hers.

The morn grows bold, the shadows flee, But still she waits, near frost kissed lea. For love endures where hopes are sworn, Her knight returns with the coming morn.

That magical moment when you bring your sword and shield to the party and encounter a like-minded soul with their own sword.

One of my many highlights from Kindle this year was clashing steel with Sterling Bishop on the beach. I really couldn't have asked for more for my birthday weekend.

A huge thank you to Jason Surh and to all the other photographers out at Kindle for capturing the moments so we can hold and share them for years to come. 💛

Flat color commission for Soundwave3591! Featuring the Arkos family from his "Mother Maiden" RWBY AU. So here we have adult Jaune, Pyrrha, and their lovely children – Lia (Liakada) and JJ (Jaune Jr.)!

I always loved this family concept, so drawing them all together smiling and happy was such an enjoyable experience. What's not to enjoy here? They all look so fine >w<

barbatos with an mc who isn't afraid of rats, and maybe even likes them. say the two are talking in the castle, barbatos sees a rat, and momentarily goes into O_O mode. mc spots the rat, smiles, and either carefully scares it off or leads it out of the castle. barbatos goes back to normal and thanks them, before going to the kitchen to prepare tea and a proposal speech to his glorious savior for ridding the castle of the foul beast (that's small enough to fit into luke's hand btw)

Я нарисовала коллекцию Царевен Союзмультфильма по аналогии с Принцессами Диснея. Часть вторая. В этом посте у меня Царевны из мультфильмов: I drew a collection of Soyuzmultfilm Princesses similar to the Disney Princesses. In this post (Part 2) I have Princesses from cartoons: «Царевна-Лягушка» 1954 (The Frog Princess) «Сказка о мёртвой царевне и семи богатырях» 1951 (The Tale of the Dead Princess and the Seven Knights) «Аленький цветочек» 1952 (The Scarlet Flower) «Снегурочка» 1952 (The Snow Maiden) «В некотором царстве…» 1957 (At the Pike's Behest)
