I recently read all of the Guardians of Ga'Hoole books and of course it reignited my hyper-fixation from middle school. I know they look kinda copy-paste-y, but for the sake of simplicity I just sketched out a base that I used for all of them. (They're all owls, what do you want from me?) All 6 started out in my sketchbook.
Let me introduce you to Benter, Orion, Solan, Dymas, Maple, and Ansel! All 6 are up on my artfight (I've nearly quadrupled the number of characters I have there now lol) along with some lore!
(Psst. If you would like me to design an owl for you, message me! - I will likely only do three)
It was supposed to be an anatomy practice for him, but it is what it is. I love him completely drowning in her furs and perfumes and just being delicate. In times like this wearing nothing but this coat. Violet loves this soft, seductive side of him. He's just ready to be devoured and he will be.
Violet in her hometown is a different person. It's a place where she can really rest, leaving her job in Paris that's two hours away. Her town is more like a tiny countryside so there's a lot of nature around. Her days are simple– minus the potential chores do whatever you want. Going for a swim in lakes, going on walks, just laying down underneath the tree and relax.
When she was friends with Francis she invited him for the first time to meet her parents. He said it was the first time he saw Violet this free and relaxed. There's something beautiful to it.
So here she is– singing songs and later falling asleep on the grass.
