[Start ID. Two drawings of the same person, humanoid but with honey bee wings, antennae, and miscellaneous other traits. The first one was drawn December 25, 2020, two years ago, and the second is a redraw from just before the time of posting. In the first drawing, the person faces the camera, holding a cup of tea, posed against a blank background. She wears a fluffy top and boots, her entire character in golden tones. The second drawing keeps similarities with the first, but her vague outfit has been changed to a jacket and sweatpants, and she is waving to the viewer and smiling warmly, with the text "TWO YEARS" behind her in green. End ID)

Happy second anniversary-slash birthday, both to my first piece of digital art ever and to a beloved character and world.

(And thanks @ameliejoyart for making it happen. <3)

It started off as a joke, I doodled it so I wouldn't forget, then I wanted to elaborate on their designs a bit so I spent like six hours doing that, and finally I decided some parts looked too blank so I spent another >6 hours with that: My characters Carmine and Kalanchoe as Runaway to the Stars aliens (species of @jayrockin !!)

Starting off with my basically-main-character, Mosaïkó! They're a dragon god, sometimes going by the mortal guise of Nephrite, eldest and most powerful but oftentimes a calm and kind figure who has experienced...pretty much everything and is good to go to for guidance.

They live with their demigod partner and child in the God Hall, an Olympus-like place with white marble, blue, and gold architecture heavily inspired by the Isu in AC Odyssey, along with the ten other Gods, one of which they might be crushing on oops

They are very much aware of alternate universes and exist canonically in pretty much every world I've made.

^^Dragon and human(oid) refs, in no particular order. The first image is part of my header (cause! I love them enough for that), and the second-to-last was actually drawn by NovaArora on Art Fight, or @mother-of-monsters-verse on this (@ isn't working??? but that's their user), many thanks to them!

Just as a note: while it's pretty straightforward on its own, here's more detail on how to navigate my tags (as I've prioritized them mostly for my own use).

-"Peridots-Art" vs "Not My Art": There's always one or the other. Peridots-Art is... pretty obvious (includes digital art, pixel art, written work, etc.) and Not My Art usually refers to reblogs or me just talking about a random subject.

-World Tags: Pretty much always on anything with the Art tag. Can either be a fandom (Bug Fables and Hollow Knight, or WoF for Wings of Fire), or one of my personal worlds (Tonpterus, Mostly Mollusk).

-Character Category: Most posts with the Art tag will either be labeled "Canon", referring to a canon character from a fandom, or "Character", referring to my own characters--whether completely original or a fan-character.

-Specific Characters: Canon characters will have the respective fandom after their name, not always stylized the same as the fandom's tag (e.g. Quirrel HK). Characters of my own creation will only be referred to with their name, regardless of whether they belong to a specific original universe or not.

-Creature Category: Unlike the above three tags, this doesn't always pertain to art. They describe the (currently, only three) categories of species/characters in the post: Humans, Dragons or Bugs. That's all
