IT ARRIVED!! 🥹💖✨

After what felt like an eternity, the prize from the Mystical Plantlife contest finally made it all the way here!

Thank you so much @billiebustupofficial, for the lovely surprise and for hosting such a fun contest.

Request #4 Only the echo of water droplets striking stone accompanied Elaine as she walked between ancient columns worn down by time. The deeper she ventured, the colder the air became. Heavier. As though this place had remained forgotten for centuries.

And then she saw it.

At the center of an underground chamber, illuminated by a faint ray of light filtering through a crack in the ceiling, rested an ancient vessel: the Canopic Jar of Horus.

Elaine picked it up and examined the inscriptions.

"Tsk… the lettering is so tiny." She tried to brush away the dust covering its surface.

The cavern began to tremble.

An ancient roar echoed through the chamber as the gems embedded in the vessel flared to life. Dark clouds of smoke burst from within, twisting toward the ceiling like living shadows. An ancient presence was awakening. A power forgotten by the ages. An entity capable of altering the fate of the world.

Elaine took a step back, ready to draw her sword.

The shadows exploded.

Confetti.

Glitter.

Rainbows.

And in the middle of all that completely unjustified happiness appeared Horus.

"Hello! :D"

Elaine blinked once. She looked at the jar and at Horus repeatedly.

"You're the ancient entity?"

"Who else would it be? I am the one, the only, the incomparable… and also quite charming."

He spread his wings, showering the cavern with even more confetti as signs, arrows, and absurdly flashy typography appeared around him.

"HORUS" ✨

Elaine stared in disbelief. She had crossed an entire ocean to find the legendary being said to dwell within this ancient relic…

And apparently, she had found him.

She took a deep breath.

"Right… so you're Horus. I'm here because…"

"Tell meee! Do you like ducks?"

"…Excuse me?"

"Oh, I love your enthusiasm!"

Out of nowhere, he produced a gloomy-looking duck with fangs sticking out of its beak.

"This is one of my favorite toys! I found him in a faraway land full of monsters, macabre things, and all sorts of stuff. Wanna pet him? He doesn't bite… usually."

Elaine was rapidly losing patience.

"GET THAT INFERNAL THING AWAY FROM ME! AND LISTEN! I'm here because I was told you're a genie capable of granting wishes!"

"Ummm…" Horus tapped his beak thoughtfully while smiling to one side. "To be fair, they informed you correctly. They simply forgot to mention the emotional hazards~ 😏"

"You…" growled Elaine, clenching her claws.

Sorry, I couldn't help myself. 😆

This little scene kept playing in my head over and over again while I was drawing this piece.

When I asked @will0thew1sp about Horus's lamp, she told me it didn't have a very specific design and gave me some creative freedom to play around with the idea. That's when I thought of making it a canopic jar instead, and I liked the idea of giving it a more serious and ancient-looking design to contrast with Horus himself. n_n

I had a lot of fun working on this one. 😊

Request #3

I think the most fun part of this piece was drawing Gold's enormous desert fox ears and working on both characters' expressions ☺️✨

I wanted to portray a sweet interaction between them.

Request #2

Finished request ☺️

It had been a while since I last drew human characters, so this piece was really refreshing and fun to work on

I honestly enjoyed drawing their expressions, the soft atmosphere and all the little bird details so much.

Enjoy! 🌙

Request #1

A warm hug, and a little bit of videogame nostalgia 💖

This request was really fun to draw because I loved the idea of turning a simple hug into a more playful little scene together 🎮

Hello everyone! ☺️✨

Lately I’ve been wanting to make some cozy storybook-style sketches and small illustrations, so I’ll be opening a few requests for fun!

I’ll choose the ones that inspire me the most, and the comments on this post will stay open for 3 days, so feel free to leave your ideas below! 💖

The idea is to suggest two characters interacting in a small scene together — this can be:

✨ A canon character with an OC

✨ Two canon characters

✨ Or two OCs

You can suggest small scenes or interactions too! For example:

✨ Character A having tea with Character B

✨ Studying magic together

✨ Exploring a forest

✨ Cozy or funny little moments

Rules:

✨ Fandom characters & OCs are welcome

✨ Please provide clear references if possible

✨ I may take some time depending on energy and queue

✨ I’ll only choose the requests that inspire me the most

✨ I reserve the right to decline any request that makes me uncomfortable or contains inappropriate or hateful content

✨ No NSFW or heavy gore

Thank you so much! 😊✨

✨Noctis Resonantia✨ Also known as Noctirae, this nocturnal plant shelters a small bioluminescent creature within its petals.

It reacts to the vibrations and sounds of its surroundings, unfolding its petals and glowing more brightly the more harmonious the music becomes. In the presence of unpleasant or discordant sounds, it remains closed as a natural defense mechanism.

Despite its appearance, Noctirae is a harmless species that inhabits forests and valleys where music and nocturnal sounds abound.

Not long ago, I found a small flower that I absolutely loved and placed it by my window. Coincidentally, shortly after that, this contest appeared and ended up inspiring me greatly to participate. 😊

I didn’t want to create just a pretty flower, so I tried to design a creature with some kind of gameplay mechanic in mind.

Noctirae would function as a small musical creature: the player would need to press specific button combinations to “sing” to it. If delighted, it could reveal secret doors, show the location of hidden objects, or even share small secrets hidden throughout the environment. 🎶✨

I took my time with this piece… I originally wanted to share it earlier, but life had its own rhythm for a while.

Still, I’m really happy to finally show it ☺️ It’s been a quiet process of learning, experimenting, and slowly refining each detail.

There’s something special about letting a piece grow at its own pace.

This is just one part of a bigger project I’ve been working on… I’ll be sharing more soon 👀✨
