Midnight melody—acrylic ink and watercolor on paper

"In the passing years after the dissolution of the Boundary between fae and human territories it is rumored that many sounds could be heard from beyond the remains of the wall. Some spoke of the growls and grumbles of nightborn monsters that prowled the edges of the mundane world to feast on the foolish. Others thought that they heard clear, bell-like laughter over the hedges. Some even disputed that it wasn't laughter they heard, but the mournful keening of a young man.

But one thing that the human settlements near the former Boundary all can agree on is during beltane, just as the moon rises, heavenly tones from a variety of instruments could be heard in the path of the fairie court of spring; despair and delight intertwined..."— calanmai post canon

@tamlinweek this took me way too long to complete but here's a look at tamlin in a potential future during calanmai, in a version where he's has full agency over himself and drives people to dance alongside him in revelry.

(This is also technically the day one post, semantics y'know?)

Finally finished the sketch portraits of all the major ladies of hybern (and ianthe). The portraits goes as follows starting on the third image:

1. Aramantha (right), Clythia (left)— the captain-general of the first army and the (former) lieutenant of said army

2. Moxuan— stewardess to cnoc ah riabh, capital of hybern, patron to all major merchant guilds and unofficial equerry to uther

3. Ianthe— socialite and priestess from rosewood, was not invited to afternoon tea

4. Brannagh (with a rough dagdan in the corner)— the crown princess of modern hybern, is the official equerry of the reigning monarch alongside her twin

5. Ynmyn— court mage and master of executions; runs the entire healthcare system in her spare time and maintains the third army

6. Medb— former crown princess of hybern from a era better known as mythical. Has dead for thousands of years but in recent centuries, finds herself roaming now unfamiliar halls in unlife; giving advice to those who can and are willing to listen

And without fail, both of thier reactions are:

Sometimes, even the worst situations can be bearable with decent company. Even if they're a little, uhm... unorthodox.

This piece for @tamlinweek day 3 features ynmyn (an oc I use a lot in different contexts) jurian and tamlin during one of the King of Hybern, Uther's, infamous parties in the capital. Its a potential au where tamlin is a "guest" of hybern and his traitorous gentry, the war with prythian going on for much longer, needing a closer eye on the uppermost ranks of the king.

This is a quiet moment of shared misery and hesitant solidarity, a foundation for a rather unique fellowship.

Here's my oc(ish)s, dani, ynmyn and gula:

I also did my own interpretations of @geniemillies & @highlordofkrypton 's ocs Johan and Niamh respectively

And my version of the lady of autumn, Isolde
