I loved her human version!
If you ever draw a young Juste I will give you a kidney. Not one of mine, but definitely fresh.

"Thus Ar-Pharazôn, King of the Land of the Star, grew to the mightiest tyrant that had yet been in the world since the reign of Morgoth, though in truth Sauron ruled all from behind the throne."

This is mind-blowing. All those different layers of detail - including hand-lettered text - all put into the same painting, oof. :O ♥

A patchwork of painting details showing sharp-featured otherworldly troublemakers with good hair.

Some of my favourite paintings of 2024.
The total = 28% cheekbones, 46% elfin malcontent, 26% shrubbery.

Please tell me you're going to do a warrior ant now. 😁

Holy moly this is gorgeous. 🥹

Ditto! I saw yours and was staring at it for ages. 😍When I saw your work in my feed I was like: THERE IT IS. 😁

This is looking fabulous! ☺️
(And I think we're working on some same books as well. 😁)

The greens! This is glorious. 😍💚

Love this. 😁

This is beautiful, Jenny!

But I like yours better. 😄♥

QRP with your green art 💚🌿

Take it from the fun mum, I'm just saying what we all know: You have an immediately distinctive style which is all charming whimsy on the outside, and big emotional core on the inside, and it is *beautiful*.

This is brilliant. Your work is brilliant! I was admiring a screencap redraw of yours just now - and I liked your version a fwillion times better. Why are you not obnoxiously famous yet, good lord.

Thank you! :)

D'aww thank you! 🥰
It could be cos they've (rightly) guessed that I'm mostly faeries, nonsense, and faerie nonsense, and not even in a booktok kinda way (I'd rather draw them sinister than 'hot') 😁
But for people who like their art folkloric and unnerving, I'm here. 😀

A traditionally drawn and painted portrait of a young, unearthly man standing outside the window looking in. His hand is stained with blood (that is not his own) and is pressed to the glass leaving smears. He has long brown hair, wild orange eyes, and gorse flowers and thorns embroidered on his doublet. He looks like he wants to come in, and like that would be a bad thing.

'Long Lankin', a grisly character from British folklore murder ballads, and who I've borrowed for my story with an 'under the hill' twist.

This is how I drew the sinister gentleman in pencil and watercolour on toned paper, A4.

Heyyy it's nice to see you in a place where it's not raining wankers. 😊

This is the first list I've seen myself on. It's so nice to be included, thank you. 🥹♥

Mine took a delight in walking across paintings while looking me in the eye.

What everyone else said, please and thank you.

The cat made me laugh out loud. I've had two black cats, and 'no' meant nothing to either of them. 🥹

Gorgeous use of granulation, so soft!

'Crown of Vines' a shady faerie painted in watercolour and acrylic ink on gessoed paper (in an unsuitable but irresistibly pretty notebook from Paperblanks).

🥹🥰 Aww, haha, thank you!

We've got gifs now! And emojis! That's how long I've been away. 😁

D'aww, thank you. 🥰🥰

Hello to everyone who's just found their way here from Twitter. I suppose I really should start to use this thing. :3
