Primrose(Prim)! Ben and Holly’s scene daughter!!

My ocs Olive and Fern! They’re adoptive siblings :3

They’re from outside the little kingdom so Fern really grew up with only elf culture and influence. Fern can’t fly since he never learned to but since moving to the Little Kingdom he did learn a bit of magic.

It’s Gardenia and Aethel again!!! This is very obviously inspired by Ivan the Terrible and His Son Ivan. That painting makes me feel things 😞😞😞

I won’t spoil much to their story and what this scene is about but I will say this is where Gardenia goofed too hard

I kind of gave up drawing this after like 5 minutes I could’ve done more with it but for a 5 minute sketch it’s not that bad

Sum art I did of King Thisle and his progression to Kinghood in my mlp au.

Oh and there’s a concept sketch I did of Mr Elf. Him with sunglasses is just based off of a loose headcanon that I had about what he was like before he had children lol.

Some more oc!!!

1. There’s Myopsida- an octopus princess pretending to be a human so she doesn’t get turned into sashimi

2. Maple- a teenage fairy who is an unnaturally fast flier. Just not a very careful one. Though her speed makes her great at her job. She’s basically the Little Kingdom’s postal service.
