Playing Dolls With Them And Making Them Kiss

Tenar <3 my friend promised me a strangegirl protagonist in the Tombs of Atuan and I was not disappointed

love your little arya with her fists clenched!!

thank you!! I would love to draw arya again bc I had so much fun w her the first time. currently re-listening to adwd between other books though so not much arya to be found 😔

I just finished a big revision of Compromise Chapter 10, which means I should only need to do a round or two of proofreading before posting. 🥳

To celebrate (and to thank my readers and followers for their patience), here is a wonderful portrait of the Velargirls by Liesl / @shripscapi 🥰

Liesl was great to work with! She aced all the little details that I asked for:

Velargirls’ eye color, especially Jace’s Tyroshi / Tyrian purple.

Jewelry! All the jewelry! Sunfyre pendant, dragonglass tension ring, rubies like blood drops in Joff’s hair.🩸

Joff’s creepy AF book cover.

Sapphire blue yarn!

Luce’s gloriously curly and perpetually untidy hair. And her silver hair net!

All the pretty ornamentation on Jace’s gown. It’s easier to see on the individual portrait version I have for each of the girls, but her sleeves are soooo luxurious and lacy.

I also think you can feel each girl’s personality coming through the portrait. Jace is taking it the most seriously with her classic pose and “just a little smile but not too much of a smile” expression.

Luce is having fun but probably arguing with the painter, “What do you mean I can’t show teeth? Also I am going to lean on this table, because it gets tiring standing in this pose.”

And then there’s Joff, who doesn’t want to be here. But Rhaenys and Rhaenyra really want a nice portrait of all the girls, so she’ll put up with the ordeal.

10000/10 would recommend working with Liesl. Definitely check out her other ASOIAF art!

Jon Snow with the letter from Ramsay. This was the second half of a commission, done to match Dany!

i love that your brienne always has braids in her hair

thank you!! when she’s first introduced as having a nest of hair that is where my brain went immediately.. a messy braided updo with hairs poking out. I think it’s also convenient for keeping her hair out of her face <3

do you have commissions?

I don’t I’m sorry :( I used to but I found that monetizing my art really took the fun out of it so I prefer to keep it as a hobby.

dude your art deadass makes me feel emotions i usually only find in like, a pretty piece of literature or music like it’s genuinely incredible !!!! pls know your work is so so so appreciated by us asoiaf girlies

Thank youuu this is so sweet and such a high compliment ❤️

if nobody got me I know the asoiaf girlies got me…

i don't know if it's already your birthday but happy birthday and your art is one of the most beautiful and heartwarming things i discovered this year, i simply adore your style!🩵🩵🩵✨🌱

thank you sm!!! mwah!! my bday was a week ago but I haven’t been able to update my bio bc I’m without a computer and mobile will mess up the formatting -_-

hello!!! first of all i absolutely adore your art, i kinda use it to motivate me to draw 😅😅 i wanted to ask you if you’d want to draw hotd and the x files characters in the future!! have an amazing day

hello! I'm glad to hear!! that's very kind :)

I haven't seen the X-files, so unless something possesses me to watch it someday, probably not.

Unfortunately, same with HOTD. I only watched season 1, but from what I've seen I'm not that interested in watching season 2. If I ever did fanart, it would probably be of the book versions. I like depictions of book rhaenyra
