Lara Silvestris

The last time I posted something in here was in March apparently. Oops

You might have guessed already but this blog is coming to an end. It survived this long even though these past 3 years have been one huge rollercoaster for me and I don't even like rollercoasters.

But don't you worry! I'm actually doing great! I got a job few months ago, I'll graduate soon and I'm on a path to heal myself. I just haven't had the motivation to draw much and even when I've managed to draw something, I've wanted to keep them to myself. Just my silly sketches with no pressure to put them anywhere, you know?

I won't destroy this blog, I want to be able to come back to it. Plus I don't want to make a new account since this is my main one and I still want to check upon some blogs I follow from time to time. I might post stuff in here or not, so feel free to keep following me or just move one. I also have an Instagram by the same name but it's pretty silent too atm.

To sum it up, thank you for everything ❤️ I've gotten so far in my art thanks to your support and I'll always be grateful for that. Stay awesome, live your best life and maybe we'll see again later

Edit: Cat gifs make everything better

Ruf ruf! He's so happy to be finished! I wonder what kind of adventures and allies he'll end up encountering?

Such a good boy~ Or maybe a bit mischievous? Nobody knows for sure yet!

I drew the earlier sketch digitally, hope you like her!

I've been traveling by train today and used that time to sketch this cutie. I don't have a name for her yet, would you like to suggest something? I imagine her being cheerful and active, prefering practical clothing and equipments. She specializes in potion making and can heal or cause some serious damage with her potions.

Just a little doodle with Promarkers and some more ideas for these guardians. Also, I don't know whether to call them guardians or something else, what do you think?

What's this? I actually made another drawing of the same random concept? Daamn.

Anyways, here's some more concept art about the idea I briefly introduced in my previous drawing. The core idea is that some animals, usually pets, who have a really strong will and need to protect others are reborn as anthromorphic spirits, representing the same species they once were before their deaths. In anthromorphic body they have more means to protect others and most of them learn skills from humans such as fighting, healing and potion making. To honor these strong-willed spirits, some humans devote their lifes to guide these spirits when they are reborn, clothing, feeding and teaching them.

I drew Ella again. This is surprisingly fun.

Remember that species I doodled in the middle of the night? Here’s one creature drawn digitally!

I went to Pinterest to find some references. Well I did and I started sketching some random creatures and now I'm kinda planning my own species...?

Anyways, here's some random doodles!

Heya! Just a small update regarding Inktober and my own well-being. I will put the more personal stuff under the cut so you don’t have to read it unless you want to. No matter what, I’m still grateful to you all for your support ❤

As you may have noticed from my lack of content, I’m not able to finish Inktober this year. It saddens me since I managed to do it two years in a row but I would rather not get burned out from making art too. There’s always the next year and at least I drew a bit more than half of the prompts! Thank you for supporting my Inktober process, I’ll see you again next year!
