Also Cerin’s eyes will sometimes glow when he's mad. Magic is loosely linked to emotions, so most magic-users will have some sort of side effect when they're really emotional.

Awh, thank you! It’s so nice to hear that you enjoy my Phantom gifs, I love to make them and it makes it even better to know they’re appreciated. There will be plenty more R/C posts in the future, they’re my favorite pairing and they need more love!

Also I've made a friend for him whose portrait I'll post in a day or two.

Another Poe character! This time, it's Roderick Usher from "The Fall of the House of Usher". You may remember my earlier post with his twin sister, Madeline. Neither of them look like villains, which I love. Roderick just looks so sweet and unsuspecting, but he's actually incredibly controlling and insecure. He's obsessed with Lenore and is dedicating all his resources to finding her--but why is he doing that? Hm. Lenore sure as hell doesn't know. She has amnesia. And the plot thickens.

Happy Father's Day! I didn't prepare anything new, so have this sketch from 2 years ago. The characters are Emrys, a demon, and Starlight, a young witch he adopted. They're so cute. He dotes on her a lot.

Anyway, the results are very pretty and magical. This feels like a chilly morning, maybe in the spring or autumn.

I did two illustrations for this story, the second of which I'll post later. It was really fun to experiment with lighting, because that's not my strong point. Also I loved researching 1870s clothes for Ophelia. Her father died several months before the story begins, so she's in mourning clothes. She's actually moving into a stage called "half-mourning", where she gradually integrates colour back into her clothing.

Pluto and Lenore definitely don't have a Valentine's Day colour palette 😆 I love their relationship. They don't trust people easily, so it's kind of miraculous that they grew so close. They grow to have so much confidence in each other and their abilities, but they're also there to figure out when the other one needs help. Also Pluto’s a cat person, so he's just naturally cuddly. Makes for a great relationship.
