Ella is from The Glass Gate by @hannasandvig Here's another chibi for ya. Ella here was another that I got done sketch wise last year. I think she came out cute, but MAN that dress took me a bit to get through haha! Ella is a young woman wanting to be free from her step family constantly belittling and overworking her. That is, until her friend tells her about a place she's never heard of before, a place called Faerie. Ella wants nothing more than to be an amazing fashion designer, but she feels her portfolio is pretty underwhelming, she needs something that'll help make her portfolio shine through all the others, and thanks to a proposition she overheard from a fae Prince, Ella might just get it, and perhaps, something more. . . . . #chibi #whimsicalfeatures #fanart #artgram #digitalartist #latinamericanartist #artistofig #fantasy #fantasybook #yabook #nabook #wip #doodles #sketch #photoshop #photoshopartist #animestyle #animeartist #theglassgate #hannasandvig #romantasy #yafantasy #nafantasy #indieBook #indieauthor #cinderella https://www.instagram.com/p/CpYFWANO4Yj/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

QotD: If you were thrown into a competition to meet the love of your life, would you take part? Also, would it be a Prince/Princess or one of the competitors? Alright, time to talk about book 1.5 in The Faerie Tale Romance series, The Lily Gate by @hannasandvig TLG is a The Frog Prince/The Princess and the Frog retelling with a talking frog who loves sweets, a bachelorette competition, a half fae half human princess who takes charge of her own life, and a true love's kiss. You follow a young woman named Tuala, a fae princess who loves to bake and likes order just as much. This competition to find the love of her life her mother concocted should be simple enough. Fae princes from around the Seelie kingdom just need to take part in 3 competitions, and win each one and earn a . . . Kiss from her. Tuala isn't super stoked to kiss a bunch of guys, but her mother swears that a way to find love is to feel the sparks from their kiss. Alright, should be easy enough, except, someone Tuala was expecting to meet hasn't arrived, even though a talking green frog is telling her otherwise. This was the third book I read in this series. It was so fun and cute and I actually enjoyed the challenges in this bachelorette style competition. If you're a fan of The Frog Prince or The Princess and the Frog and just want a cute, fun, chill romancy filled read, give this story a try. I think you'll have a lot of fun 😁 . . . . #bookstagram #fantasybook #booksofig #readersofig #booknerd #booklover #bookworm #bookdragon #ilovebooks #bibliophile #bookcommunity #thefaerietaleromance #yafantasy #yabook #nafantasy #nabook #hannasandvig #romantasy #cozyfantasy #portalfantasy #romancebook #thefrogprince #retelling #thelilygate #indiebook #indieauthor https://www.instagram.com/p/CoxbNHzLNsO/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Norsevember day 9 Niflheim and Muspelheim Welcome to my final day of Norsevember where I get to talk about my New Adult Epic Fantasy alternate telling of Norse Mythology, Valhalla The Call of Yggdrasil. Today I will be talking about both Niflheim, former realm of the dragons, and Muspelheim, realm to the fire demons. The reason I'm talking 2 realms instead of 1, is because the doorway to get IN to Muspelheim was created IN Niflheim. The dragons were once ruled by 8 great dragons, until they were corrupted and began to war with each other. While that was happening, there was no one around to stop Ragnarok himself from creating the firery realm. Why? To cut off the other 8 realms and have Yggdrasil all to himself. After the war ended, and Nidhogg was punished for starting the Great Dragon War, imprisoning him in the now frozen tundra that is Niflheim, the remaining dragons were transported to Midgard, where they should be safe, but their numbers struggle to remain stable and increase. Surtr, the Muspelheim ruler, is locked away in his own realm with his followers, patiently waiting for Ragnarok's return, and bring about the end to all. . . . . #bookstagram #newadult #nafantasy #nabook #vtcoy #ajtorres #indiebook #indieauthor #fantasy #fantasybook #epicfantasy #norsefantasy #booksofig #readersofig #booknerd #booklover #bibliophile #bookcommunity #bookaesthetic #aestheticboard #mybook #norsevember #norsemythology #norsegods #johanegerkrans #niflheim #muspelheim #nidhogg #surtr #bookwip https://www.instagram.com/p/CllreBqrIdz/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Norsevember day 8 Jotunheim Welcome to my day 8 of Norsevember where I get to talk about my New Adult Epic Fantasy alternate telling of Norse Mythology, Valhalla The Call of Yggdrasil. Today I will be talking about the other OTHER gods from Jotunheim. Now I'm sure you're wondering, gods? Jotunns are giants, and I would say yes, but the reason they are called Giants in THIS world is because they're taller than Aesir and Vanir, and they stand over 6 feet tall, Jotunns are over 7 feet. Jotunheim is a realm where the elements are important: earth, fire, water, and wind. There are others, but because of challenge of rules and rebellions, many were banished, the Frost Jotunns being one of them, closed off within the freezing mountainous tundra region of their realm. . . . . #bookstagram #newadult #nafantasy #nabook #vtcoy #ajtorres #indiebook #indieauthor #fantasy #fantasybook #epicfantasy #norsefantasy #booksofig #readersofig #booknerd #booklover #bibliophile #bookcommunity #bookaesthetic #aestheticboard #mybook #norsevember #norsemythology #norsegods #johanegerkrans #jotunheim #jotunn #bookwip https://www.instagram.com/p/ClgiIuAr8iT/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Norsevember day 7 Alfheim Welcome to my day 7 of Norsevember where I get to talk about my New Adult Epic Fantasy alternate telling of Norse Mythology, Valhalla The Call of Yggdrasil. Today I will be talking about the OTHER gods from Vanaheim. However, unlike the Aesir, the Vanir can't partake in the golden apples of Yggdrasil, but they can live for a long time, centuries worth until they start showing signs of aging. The once former home of the god Njord and his twins, Vanaheim is lush with plant life and magic, their realm is almost like a mix of Asgard and Alfheim with seidr and guardians of their own. In the past the Vanir and Aesir had a tumultuous relationship, but now, mostly thanks to Njord and Ódin's youngest brother, their connection has never been stronger. . . . . #bookstagram #newadult #nafantasy #nabook #vtcoy #ajtorres #indiebook #indieauthor #fantasy #fantasybook #epicfantasy #norsefantasy #booksofig #readersofig #booknerd #booklover #bibliophile #bookcommunity #bookaesthetic #aestheticboard #mybook #norsevember #norsemythology #norsegods #johanegerkrans #Vanaheim #Njord #bookwip https://www.instagram.com/p/ClY_pGvrjOk/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Norsevember day 6 Alfheim Welcome to my day 6 of Norsevember where I get to talk about my New Adult Epic Fantasy alternate telling of Norse Mythology, Valhalla The Call of Yggdrasil. Today I will be talking about the light elf and fae realm of Alfheim. Unlike the dark elves, the light elves and faes rely heavily on magic for pretty much anything. The light elves pride themselves on experimentation and tending to their beautifully forested gifted realm while the faes are more for festive gatherings and exploration of the body. The god Freyr, with help from Yggdrasil, created the realm Alfheim for the light elves and faes to protect them from human enslavement. He watches over them, even takes part in any and all festivities, although he does watch what he eats and drinks when with the faes. . . . . #bookstagram #newadult #nafantasy #nabook #vtcoy #ajtorres #indiebook #indieauthor #fantasy #fantasybook #epicfantasy #norsefantasy #booksofig #readersofig #booknerd #booklover #bibliophile #bookcommunity #bookaesthetic #aestheticboard #mybook #norsevember #norsemythology #norsegods #johanegerkrans #alfheim #freyr #bookwip https://www.instagram.com/p/ClOrXI_rC33/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Norsevember day 5 Svartalfheim Welcome to my day 5 of Norsevember where I get to talk about my New Adult Epic Fantasy alternate telling of Norse Mythology, Valhalla The Call of Yggdrasil. Today I will be talking about the dark elf realm of Svartalfheim. Unlike their light elf counterparts, dark elves don't rely on magic for day to day needs, or protection. In fact, they scarcely use it. They live almost similarly as humans, but more agile with ingenuity that could rival the dwarves in weapon making and engineering. Broken up into 4 clans, their realm was put together thanks to Freyr and Frigg. With the help of 3 of her owls, the dark elves were guided to a realm of their own away from enemies, especially human hunters trying to enslave them. . . . . #bookstagram #newadult #nafantasy #nabook #vtcoy #ajtorres #indiebook #indieauthor #fantasy #fantasybook #epicfantasy #norsefantasy #booksofig #readersofig #booknerd #booklover #bibliophile #bookcommunity #bookaesthetic #aestheticboard #mybook #norsevember #norsemythology #norsegods #johanegerkrans #svartalfheim #bookwip https://www.instagram.com/p/ClG9Qy7rJ9_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Norsevember day 4 Nidavellir Welcome to my day 4 of Norsevember where I get to talk about my New Adult Epic Fantasy alternate telling of Norse Mythology, Valhalla The Call of Yggdrasil. Today I will be talking about the mountainous realm of Nidavellir. Home to the dwarves, they are known to be great smiths and crafters, but they pride themselves in other specialties as well. Such as magic, agriculture, fishing, and caretakers of dragons and griffins. Because of the consequences of turning to stone by sunlight, Nidavellir had no sun, but placed within each of the six dwarven clan regions is a massive yellow crystal that acts like one, thanks to the goddess Sol and Freya. . . . . #bookstagram #newadult #nafantasy #nabook #vtcoy #ajtorres #indiebook #indieauthor #fantasy #fantasybook #epicfantasy #norsefantasy #booksofig #readersofig #booknerd #booklover #bibliophile #bookcommunity #bookaesthetic #aestheticboard #mybook #norsevember #norsemythology #norsegods #johanegerkrans #nidavellir #bookwip https://www.instagram.com/p/Ck8pbWZLOJE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
