Sourcream draws

Artfight is over. It's time to slooowly post all the arts from the month :D

Beginning with the only art I made in traditional:

I've had the avian oc-s for a while but their plot had barely moved since their creation.

Until the recent time when I changed one thing about their lore and got so many more ideas.

And now I see all your wonderful attacks on her

It cheers me up a lot :)

FINALLY

JULY IS SO SOON!!!

Emberiza citrinella is Yellowhammer! Their song is really nice. It reminds me of tiny tiny bells. Also, fun fact. Yellowhammer in Russian is овсянка (ovsyanka), which means oatmeal!

While we're talking about food. Common rosefinch (Carpodacus erythrinus) in Russian is чечевица (chechevitsa). It's lentil! :'3 I like their song a lot! It has lentil vibes. I won't explain, my logic works in weird ways. I noticed that local rosefinches don't sing the final syllable, which I saw in many mnemonic techniques for remembering their song.

Ficedula hypoleuca or European pied flycatcher. They had a nest in a tree hollow right in front of my window. I could see the male regularly tending to the nest. Besides bringing food to the chicks he chased off thrushes, tits and squirrels. I haven't noticed the female though. But I wasn't watching them 24/7 so eh. These birds actually have really complicated relationships. I've read about occasions, in which single males fed the chicks of an unrelated couple of birds. Also, males can have up to 7 morphs! From the grey brownish female like one to the almost black!

Hope you'll have fun drawing!

Corn crake. I like this dork XD

A "what if" scenario, some sort of an au for tadc

Out of breath📎

It's an art for the song - Кровь Эльфов (Elven Blood)

Here, Deimos with his dragon companion Sky explains why he invaded the elven kingdom Enia. He did it because his own world became unsuitable for living and his people needed a new home. The artifact of the elven kings can help him open a portal for them but to use it he should either become a king of Enia or spill elven blood on it in a special ritual.

Deimos gives princess Alatiel a choice. She can either marry him and stay alive or he'll kill her and use her blood in the ritual. The princess chooses death.

It took me a year to finish the embroidery. I think it's the biggest project I've ever made. All in all, it took ~300 hours. That's what the canvas with the pattern says in ibis paint LOL.

The pattern is Dimensions Celestial Angel - 3755.

It was really fun to make and I have learned many interesting skills like making cords and tassels, WORKING WITH METALLIC! Also, I figured out how to stretch the canvas over the cardboard properly. My previous embroideries were attached with pva glue xD

Some extra close-ups are under the cut :)
