May i present to you proudly my new child Dawn? 

I worked on this painting for quite a few days and I'm so happy with the outcome!

Her opposite Dusk is currently in the works and will either be her sister or lover, not fully decided yet

.⚝.

Also 'soft glow' and 'overlay' layers. My new best friends for effects ♪

After some pretty stressful weeks and also looking back and rethinking my social media I decided to start uploading sketch collection posts from time to time.

This mostly allows me to 1 - have less emotional stress brought to you by perfectionism, 2 - more art, especially of my OCs for you all, 3 - all that without me needing to upload to four platforms everyday while cluttering everyone's feed but also uploading more in a way and last and (with 1) probably most importantly 4 - have a better chance of keeping up weekly posts while also taking my time with more finished illustrations

♡

‘Short’ character introduction:

⋆ Ava - A girl from the future timeline; lives on earth and has a small flowershop and a lifestyle that is considered ‘vintage’ in her time. especially loves caring for all types of flowers from and history of earth

⋆ Liv - future girl 2/3, close friend of Ava, fellow plant enthusiast; was born and lives in a human space base and cares for the extraterrestrial flora as a scientist assigned to discover more about the biosystem

⋆ Elysterëa - An ancient nature spirit of the magic world, takes humanoid form covered in various mushrooms; a friend of Majura, often acts rather childish, but especially in her anger can very quickly be just as unpleasant as many mushrooms

This art is already almost a year old but I'm still very much in love with it.

It was one of my first detailed art pieces that I genuinely really adored, one of my first illustrations with my favorite ink, the first painting and birth of my dear flower girl OC Ava, basically the only print of my own art that I have hanging up and one of my favorites overall to this day.

So basically this one means a whole lot to me.

I never really uploaded it for various reasons (mostly nervousness, i suppose), but today is finally the day, i really hope you all like it ♡

here’s number one (of most likely 18) characters that i want to slowly and briefly introduce everyone to!

these posts will feature a #meettheartist style artwork as well as some extra info in the description! i hope you’ll like this format!

Onto the extra info we go:

⚝ lily is one of four characters based on real people and is therefore not limited to any time or world when it comes to meeting other characters

⚝ lily is often referred to as lilytar (- aka lily’s avatar character)

⚝ lily recently REALLY needed a break from social media as loads of highly important things are going on in her life but she’ll start posting again :D

(extra stuff under the cut)

I made myself a pastel gouache palette by mixing white gouache with a tiny bit of vibrant watercolor! And i LOVE IT SO MUCH!

I doodles tiny Majura on the side and decided to call it the crystal palette from now on :D

The eyes are a bit creepy, but hey.

Also built-in art tip: use colors to do softer lines! I used the lower row of darker watercolor and a detail brush for the lines \(♡.♡)/ (pictures under cut)
