The Lady of The Abyss 🪼🐙 by mairithetree

"The Lady is among the most ancient entities living in the ocean. Jellyfishes & siphonophores are born everytime she sings 🪸When the world is getting dark, the Lady calls out to lost and tired souls to find strength again."

Empathy & Apathy / Love Cupid & Black Cupid by mairithetree

Massive artpost for tonight 🌙 Let me present you Love Cupid & Black Cupid 💗 They are characters I've been exploring since last year 💓 The first two posts are from 2023 (I posted them on my Instagram) and the last two are from this year 💖

I decided to take a permanent break on Instragram and stop posting anything new on that platform, to bring a new energy to my Tumblr instead 💞

👉 The character with the red hands popping out of their bodies are inspired by the fashion designer Hu Sheguang : https://www.sheguang-hu.com/

European artists and fanartists, I know some of you follow this account, and perhaps you may have missed it so I share this petition to protect our art and data from AI companies 🔥! They need more voices to fill it 🔥🎇 !

The Sad Giant and The Herbalist Witch PART 1 by mairithetree

This year I finally managed to push through this story I've shared tidbits with you folks on this Tumblr since 2021! I'm beyond happy to have printed copies for this story and sold them during YCon this year 💝🥰🌸

The sad giant and the herbalist witch is a fairy tale, lesbian romance🌈 filled with symbolism, flowers, and finding ways to heal trauma. It's a A5 zine of 26 pages and all the drawings inside are made with watercolor ! During YCon, I sold it at 7 euros :3

Frida & Sarah by mairithetree

Today for bi visibility day 💗💜💙, celebrated in France and in many other countries, I wanted to share with you a special piece I worked on for the last few days.

Sarah Bernhardt (1844 - 1923) in her Hamlet costume and Frida Kahlo (1907 - 1954) in masculine clothes side by side, two bisexual women who marked art history in different eras. It's a hommage to art nouveau as well and to Mucha who portrayed Sarah Bernhardt in many illustrations. Most of the flowers represented as patterns are flowers Frida had worn in her hair 💖💕

Here are the refs that inspired me for that piece : link, link

I cherish this illustration very deeply because this is how I strongly connect with my bi/pansexuality visually speaking : it's intricate, fluid, and colorful.

Going to see exhibitions about Sarah Bernhardt and Frida Kahlo this year had marked me and helped me a lot with the proccess of defining myself. That's why I wanted to draw them together 💖

Incubi by mairithetree

First the succubi came (link here) now it's time for the incubi to shine 🏳‍🌈🥰💝✨I was inspired by some looks from drag queens to draw their outfits, especially for the red latex 💕(refs here and here, Shea Couleé and Cherry Valentine)

The Sad Giant and The Herbalist Witch - 2,3,4 & 5/16 by mairithetree

A subtle flirt in the garden by mairithetree

“It’s a pity you always hide your face underneath these hats. You should reveal yourself more, my dear.” 💕

For Pride Month, a sapphic romance set during the 18th century in the park 🥰 The dresses are “robes à la française”, I took inspiration from these photos : link, link, link & link ! It took me some time to finish it and I’m happy with how the dresses look ✨

Sad pink and Emo Green by mairithetree

An exploration of my two fave characters from the respective shonen MHA 🎇and shojou Fruits Basket 🌸 There are so many things that resonate between Izuku and Tohru that my mind keeps going back to them : how they’re filled with a deep anxiety, but manage to keep smiling, and spreading joy around them, how they question their self-worth and always strive to do better to the point of exhaustion, how they’re terrified of losing their loved ones and how fiercely they protect them, and finally how they see the good potential in others and forgive💗

I invented a small AU in which Tohru falls into the MHA universe by accident and desesperatly wants to go home to see her loved ones again. During a panic attack moment, Izuku meets her and befriends her. And of course, he helps her to go home ✨

MARIPOSA by mairithetree 

Eh, yo soy muy mía, yo me transformo Una mariposa, yo me transformo Makeup de drag queen, yo me transformo Lluvia de estrellas, yo me transformo

A kiss in the shadows by mairithetree

This piece is the first of a collection I intend to make :3 WLW romances set in different eras! My plan is to finish these illustrations for Christmas and to make prints out of them! I hope I’ll succeed.

The Sad Giant and The Herbalist Witch - 1/16 by mairithetree

First page of a full colors webcomic I’m preparing. It’s a fairy tale portraying a wlw relationship. It’s a story about healing, care, and breaking curses. I have strong hope it will be finished by the end of the year <3

The last panel is inspired by one of my favorite shot of Pride and Prejudice by Joe Wright : link

Take care folks <3 

Burning bright like hope by mairithetree

Another watercolor illustration with the fire witch and her mercenary partner.

After long and tiring battles, her fire magic drains out of her body. She needs to regain some of her energy by absorbing external sources. Her partner lights her a fire each night so she can take in it. There are only the sounds of cracking wood, embers flying out, and animals lurking around. 

The atmosphere and colors are inspired by the paintings of Félix Vallotton <3 : link 

Between the pandemic, war raging in many countries, and climate change, it’s hard to live without being pessimistic and extremely anxious about the future. Especially, when all of it seems very unstable.
