greyREDROY'S ART

here's my postcard! I drew it as part of an event organized by @shining-seal ! Thank you so much for organizing and bringing us all together. ☺️💖

The gist of the event: we randomly assigned CLAMP characters to each other and drew them in a maid café style for CLAMP Day! I got the Magic Knight Rayearth trio. Our hashtag #1aprilCLAMPcafe

Ashura-ou, Fai and Yui. Storytelling time! 🫶🏻✨

Small explanation:

Жар-птица / Zhar-ptitsa (Firebird) is a magical creature from slavic fairy tales. Since Fai is slavic coded to me, i came up with this idea.. Firebird or her feather is an important and desired artifact in fairy tales. And it's a very typical trope for fairy tales where the protagonist finds a Firebird's feather and then setts off on a long journey, the main goal of which is to find and obtain the Firebird. The feather is a kind of harbinger of a journey full of trials.

I also have a vague feeling that as a child I read a fairy tale where the goal of the journey was the feather itself. But now I can't find anything about it, so maybe these are false memories lol .. I also think that in some fairy tales or maybe more modern works it was mentioned that a feather can grant a wish. But again, I can't recall where exactly this was, so nevermind T____T.

But anyway the whole this thing with travels and feathers is giving me Tsubasa (⁠ ⁠╹⁠▽⁠╹⁠ ⁠)

tbh i've came up with the idea and made the first sketches back in 2022! im glad that after years, my skill have improved enough so i'm finally able to draw this exactly the way i wanted.
