I Feel Warm - a Haunted Winter Apokuna web weave

Myra’s ZombieCleo Redraw 2026! 💖🐍🥳

All twelve rulers of the Empires SMP! One 2-hr painting a day for twelve consecutive days—this was a really fantastic exercise and it was a nice way to relax and take my mind off things while I’m sick with Covid. Thank you to everyone who followed along as I progressed! It’s unfortunate that being sick prevented me from being able to take commissions this winter but I’m glad I was able to do these, if I go too long without painting I get all itchy inside 😅

Some take-aways from doing this series:

- I love painting faces! I feel like this is apparent, but worth mentioning.

- I’m very bi. I feel like this is also apparent, but also worth mentioning ;)

- Speaking of, Empires has a really fantastic gender balance!! This makes me very happy.

- The number of highlights that are visible in the eyes really affects how you interpret the characters’ personalities. I plan to speak more on this later :3

- There are only so many different angles of 3/4 view faces and I think I might have found them all

- While getting Covid is really awful on my body, it turns out to be amazing for my tumblr activity statistics. Silver linings!

I don’t often do this (and I can’t link it because tumblr hates links) but if you enjoyed this series, I have a Ko-Fi I can plug if you’re interested in supporting me that way! The link is in my bio ☕️ 🥰
