Mucha inspired Elspeth is done! So glad I finally got to put my artbook to use

I sorta like the idea of her in an “elevated“ nightgown, something loose that should be comfortable but feels vulnerable and revealing bc of how light it is. I feel like it fits her situation and would be something she'd feel defenseless in buuut also leaves room to find comfort and self acceptance... the duality of clothing... I've been overthinking about it mayhaps, I just really like the idea of her in a flowy light fabric, it feels regal and sexy but also sorta motherly and pure like a saintess (it's also why I try to draw her horns more circular, so that it sorta looks like a halo)

Also completely unrelated, but did you notice that Raphael's tail tip is bare and doesn't have that triangular thingie at the end (it's like...rat tail shaped) but archduchess Raphael DOES have the triangular bit? Sexual dimorphism?? As a fan of that part of the tail it sticks out to me so much! I'm definitely giving miss Elspeth one, she deserves it

Ahhhh!!! She is sooooo gorgeous, I love the colours! <333 You make her absolutely STUNNING! Also, I fully agree with the clothes and the light vulnerable feelings of them, of her feeling exposed as well with her skin showing. You make her look beautiful and capture her essence so well <3333 I am forever grateful and touched with how much you bring her to life and love her!!!

Miss Elspeth in (my loose interpretation of) devil fashion featuring some experimental colouring

I don't have anything interesting to say today so the anecdote is that this is an outfit I had originally planned for tanon that ended up being completely modified to suit miss Elspeth and include underboob. It was originally meant to have red gloves to really hammer in that devil vibe but i didn't like how it affected the way the colors are balanced, so they had to go (but they exist in my head... and if I do draw tanon in the original outfit they will be here, trust)

AAAHHHHH LOOK AT HEEEERRRR!!!! She looks GORGEOUS omg. You spoil me rotten with your gorgeous art of Elspeth, thank you thank you <333 She looks amazing, and I looove the style. The red gloves would definitely look amazing as well in my opinion, but WOW this is beyond amazing. She looks gorgeous and you do such justice to her with your art.

I really like green on her, I feel like she suits dark blues and greens really well, though I wonder how she would look like in red... I'm actually running out of clothes ideas to draw her in but tbh I feel in my bones that clothes won't be a concern the next time I draw her (but if you have ideas/requests, feel free to shoot them at me)

She looks amaaaaziiing, and yes, I definitely feel like she suits earthy colours for sure! Greens look wonderful on her, so do browns, they go with her hair and eyes :3 I looove the design of these clothes, they work so well with her :D

Your art is always a blessing in my inbox and on my dash, so thank you so much! I really am touched every time you draw her! <333 I feel like my thanks doesn't come across enough but I REALLY DO LOVE IT and am so appreciative!

(if you didn't know, I'm probably the last to know as usual)

it's ridiculous that we have to scroll down to the "blog settings" and check this box to not get our art stolen by this shit "ai", and if it wasn't for my friend warning me I'd never even known.
