[thestarlightfairy]

just realised the most important one didn't attach to the last post

Full of Stars

I like the idea, but not so much the execution! So I shall get back to the concept at some point!

Umbra Ella, a sea dwellin' tiefling, for @soumic , as part of the Potluck Secret Satan surrogates! This one was really fun to do-- I enjoyed the hair the most, but sadly the lines are far less visible in the colored version

[thestarlightfairy]

It's done! No more disintegrating clothes, but there is a shirtless version. I need to keep reminding myself that this is a "sketch".

Lady with an ermine faerie dragon

Commission for a friend. Their pathfinder character with her dragon posing for a portrait. She is not thrilled about that, but Eddie, the dragon, is having the time of his life <3

New blorbo time! Say hello to Krusa, they're an air / earth genasi warlock, with an icy theme~ I really wanted a needlessly opalescent character and they were the perfect subject for it. They also happen to be related to Relent, because that family tree is neverending

[thestarlightfairy]

What I mean when I do not control the hyperfixation.

[thestarlightfairy]

Ah, a character with floaty hair and a fun color scheme? I'm in.

[thestarlightfairy]

Okay, time for the Potluck surrogates! There's been a few this year! Starting with @absolutechaosss 's Lovelace and their adorable companion, Cog! I had eyed Lovelace in the past so it was very fun to be able to draw them >:3

as a sidenote, the references for this drawing were a mix of the Guy Fieri pose and the "woe, plague be upon ye" meme, which I should maybe be ashamed to bring up, but--

I really wish I planned animations properly hhhh. At least it's a learning experience...

Started this out of boredom and now I'm in the middle of giving him clothes (which at this point look as if they're being blown away).

no one:

fantasy writers: "i invented three languages, mapped out a political history spanning 4000 years, and sketched 10 different kinds of swords, but no, i haven’t figured out what my main character’s motivation is yet.”

[thestarlightfairy]

Man it's weird to continuously grieve yourself, your own health, your ability to do things,

It's heartbreaking to go through the comics I've made about it

Im so increasingly desperate and hopeless, I need help badly but I also know there's no point because I have never once been given genuine help from a fucking doctor

The older I get and the longer I've dealt with this the more upset I am that the only "help" I have ever been offered is antidepressants, anxiety meds and telling me to get a different job or to listen to diet podcasts. I've waited over a year for an appointment to be told to be mindful about my nervous system malfunctioning

I have so many more problems than currently on paper because I know I don't have it in me anymore to do that fight again for things I know I won't get help for

[thestarlightfairy]

My second piece I did for for @monerelluvia this secret satan!! Getting to draw some drow gals in love was simply a treat🪷💜✨

drowning in ruffles over here (and not complaining about it)

these are all made from gored pieces so they have a lot more volume than traditional ruffles, which are usually made from rectangular pieces.

after these are sewn together I turned the bottom edge inward and trimmed very close to the stitching.

they are hemmed using a rolled hemming foot.

after gathering most of the ruffles (I think 16 of the 20ish?) are made of four pieces that taper from 1" at one end to 5" at the other, and are 14" long.

the body was assembled from the same material as the ruffles, though it is backed with muslin since the ruffle fabric is a very very flimsy gauze.

ruffles were sewn on, then trim was added, then I fussed around a loooot to get them more symmetrical (and I still have more to do)

the sleeves feature more ruffles, of course, and I might add another to the front (see above). there will be a lot of tacking involved at some point and steaming which will hopefully make it look a bit more orderly lol.
