How to Finish

I drew this poster for Jon Acuff and his FINISH book tour. Big thanks to Jon for this collaboration, his book has some great ideas about how to complete creative and life goals.

Queen Irar 🌙

Called by her people ‘The light of the Dead’ as she’s said to be a guidance for both her kingdom and those who pass away in it. Rumors say she possesses great magical powers, but no one alive has seen her using them. Instead, they know a benevolent queen who rules her kingdom with patience, beside her husband.

In her youth she was known as Banian by the people of her village, although her birth name was another one. She’s Orris mother (the main character!)

[uxuefrog]

Original character - Aspen (he/him) Chief of the Birds and Forest Ranger 🌿✨

More info under the cut!

Aspen’s life did not play out as he expected when he was young. He didn’t want to become Chief of the birds and, even less, rule without his family there to support him. The incident that killed both his parents and his older brother changed his life forever.

He went from being a very cheerful and outgoing kid to a reserved and serious young adult, committed to his job as Ranger protecting the city. He’s a very caring and sweet person behind his serious facade, a side of himself that he’s not afraid to show to those he loves.

He’s brave and sincere and often people rely on him for advice and support. He can easily admit when he’s scared and won’t hesitate on crying in front of others. His sweet and genuine demeanor is a result of the influence his brother Neem always had on him.

He misses him deeply and still has nightmares with him. Even after all the years since his death, Aspen still tries to live up to his memory.

Elowen was a great help in learning how to live with the grief, always sweet and understanding, his life improved greatly since then. His kids, K and P also helped him see the beauty of life again. His will to live despite everything is something to be admired.

He often wonders if he has become what his younger self dreamed to be. He’s full of insecurities and doubts himself, but even if he doesn’t believe it, he became someone his younger self would rely on. Someone his brother would be proud of.

________________________________

For a bit of context:

- Aspen’s parents and older brother died in the same incident when they went to investigate what was spoiling the crops and killing the vegetation in the borders of their realm.

That left him in charge of the Bird communities at the age of 25 (he just came of age under the bird law, but was only a teenager in elf years). The birds, specially the council of elders (seven crows that must approve every decision taken), never accepted an elf as their chief and relegated him to his job as Ranger, barely letting him take any meaningful decision, even if Aspen could claim his right to it -

[uxuefrog]

Life has mini versions of himself he asks for advice or uses in the choruses of his songs or just hangs out with, but barely anyone can see them in the story, so he’s left looking like a crazy man talking to himself (which could perfectly happen, tbh, he’s drunk all the time)

Life or Biz (he/him) and Aspen (he/him) 🍋🌿

I WILL boop you on this day >:D

BOOP!

Ok, I'm happy now😜

Omg, i totally missed the event! But I’ll boop you back now! 🤏🏻

[uxuefrog]

Hi there! I hope things are going well for you!

Would you mind if I have a secret fan OC of your original story?

Are we allowed to draw something like that? 👀 (of course, while giving you credit for the story/universe/style)

Super chilled if not - I'll just let her exist in my brain👌

Have a lovely day!

Omg I would love to see that! 😭💕

[uxuefrog]

Slowly trying to get back to drawing with stupid memes ✨

I found these three posts and had to put them together in a kind of characters in Modern Family talking to the camera way. Original characters P (she/her), Aspen (he/him) and Life or Biz (he/him). Life will give Aspen the babygirl treatment and everyone in Bird City is aware of it.

Nata - Owlpaca 🍂

Owlpacas are a very popular form of transportation. They’re reliable, can lift huge weights and are very docile.

They’re found across the whole continent, even in wild herds, but the most famous ones are bred by the Birds in their main cities. The breed they rise is the most sturdy and big among owlpacas, known by their good demeanor and intelligence. The Royal Guards often use them as transportation and the Queen herself buys black fur ones from the Birds.

It was the birds who gifted Elowen a white owlpaca baby when they first visited the palace after centuries. They named her Nata, a very cuddly and friendly thing. Since then they have been inseparable and Elowen often uses her to cross the forest for official meetings.

Nata loves pets, treats (wild berries specially) and she always follows Aspen around to cuddle, she loves resting her chin on his head. She lives in the royal stables of bird city while Elowen is away and Aspen himself takes care of her every day.

AAAAAHHHH LOOK AT THIS! IM CRYING 😭 so good 😭

Life's a bit-

All of these characters belong to @uxuefrog - they are not mine.

Here's to poking fun at @uxuefrog's original characters (in good spirit!). Huzzah! It's done! And man, it was good to make art again.

This is a funny "WHAT IF" scenario based on the lore and art of an original story shared on THIS blog. I am not the best person to give context, so I'll add links to the names of the characters to take you to the posts of the original creator.

Just know that the black cat is "Life" and the White Goat is "Death." The guy kissing Life (Aspen) and the one being held back by Death (Elowen) - they are/were married at some point. The jester is Mori - here to make things better for everyone involved! ^^

It's obviously best to check @uxuefrog out yourself. A storyteller and artist I really look up to.

Don't worry, Froggy! I'm done terrorising you

...for now~ :P.

I’M SO CURIOUS NOW

Terrorize your mutual with unfinished fanart

I'd both love and fear to experience to @uxuefrog's (I call you "Froggy" in my mind) reaction to the out-of-character chaos I'm cursing this platform with.

It's taking forever, but at least I started with this 2 panel mini-comic of @uxuefrog's original story with the current placeholder title;

The Elf Princess

Please check out this amazing artist/writer's blog - I love their worldbuilding and art so much.

So naturally, I have to mess with them XP

And hey! 2 posts in one day :D

OC Death

Design for my new visit cards that will arrive soon! The text is different in the cards, it has my name too. The lyrics are from “The Moon Song” from the movie HER because it suits them so much. It was about time that i posted something again!

The back part has this tiny Life playing the banjo along my info. I’ll show you the cards when I have them ✨

[uxuefrog]

I’m working on a two page comic about these two idiots! Have the first panel, I think they look cute 🌿💚

ArtFight attack for @bamsara ✨

I’ve been wanting to draw something related to “The Rehabilitation of Death” for the longest time and this was the perfect excuse to start. Of course I chose Joon because baby! I’d love to illustrate more about this fic in a future, I’m having such a great time reading it!

Hope you like it!

[uxuefrog]

Happy pride!

This one is for the confused and lost people out there who feel like they’re late to everything in their life, even discovering their identity! We can arrive late together ✨

[OC] Life (he/him) He goes by no labels! He loves every living creature equally and he’s no picky when choosing his lovers. That’s why I chose him this year arriving late, because thats how I feel. Late in Life and with no clear identity.
