Up until things get blurry and messy.

A moment heavily requested 👀

[blvnk-art]

welcome back!!! it s soooo nice see you back on track, we all missed your art, but will you draw hinny or just jily for the moment?

Thank you so much! I got that question so much that I need to answer: I will draw hinny but right now, my moment is with Jily.

they were so bored at Godric's Hollow that Lily didn't realise she was living with Michelangelo.

One problem with Jily fandom is that they make it as boring as possible. Like Lily is always that self insert character which writers like yourself projects a lot. They make Lily this serious, soft, rigid girl who is internally wanting James to want her. James is their trophy. Like it's so boring and people can't make it even slightly interesting.

I'll use your message as a way to talk about her ❤️

I have no shame in admitting I put a lot of myself in her. And a lot of what I want to be. Was that on purpose? No. But once I realised that, I thought "it make sense". Did you even know, when I did a face reveal, some thought I even look like her? I disagree hahah but well.

You see, it's not like Lily is always serious.

If you take your time to look at my drawings of lily, "internally wanting" is not a bad word. Of course in the begining it was internally, that's where feelings usually are.

And James is not her trophy. She admires him, and respects him.

I don't find boring drawing her at all. I have done so many times. But you have all the right to think it is and that there's a lot of problem, but I believe I also have the right to defend her so thanks for the opportunity 😉

there was something about James making Lily's intimate fantasy come true, and not the other way around.

Dialogue:

"May I come in?"

"Here?"

"Sorry, I know, this is too intimate. I'll leave you"

"No no no no... it's just that, funny enough, I never even thought of this."

"Never? I guess it was just me then."

"Come here."

hi,

i just wanted to say how genuinely happy i am to see you back and creating again. i hope you’ve had the time and space to rest, breathe, and take care of yourself.

your jily drawings have always been such a source of inspiration for me, especially while i was writing my fanfictions. there’s something so special about the way you draw them. there’s so much life, tenderness, warmth, and gentleness in every piece. it’s just you can really feel and see how much love and devotion you have for your characters, and i think that’s what makes your art so beautiful and unique.

i’m really, really glad you’re back. i hope this new chapter of creating brings you nothing but joy, and that you never feel pressured to give more than you want to. i’ll just be very happy to see whatever you choose to share.

i can’t wait to see your characters come to life again. wishing you the absolute best, and sending you so much love and good energy for whatever comes next. 💌

This is such a nice message, thank you so much! 🖤🤍

I love Hinny and Jily, but god, do I struggle with making them look distinct while still keeping them recognisable as themselves 😭. There’s always someone commenting on my art saying my Lily looks like Ginny, my Ginny looks like Lily, and the same thing happens with Harry and James.

How do you guys do it? What features from James and Lily do you use when designing Harry, and how do you make Ginny and Lily look different? I’ve tried playing around with different face shapes, features, and different shades of red hair colours, but it’s honestly so demotivating when I put so much effort into making them feel like their own people and people still say they look alike just because they both have red hair.

I’d love to hear how you approach this or any tips you have!

Ooh what I can say is: don't beat up yourself for this, I've also received comments like "love your ginny" when I draw Lily or "oh I thought it was hinny" when I drew Jily.

It's not my fault and it's not your fault and it's not their fault.

Even this week I received a comment on twitter saying "I thought this was Paul McCartney and John Lennon". ANYWAYS...

My advice is: before jumping into drawing features, focus on the character personality. In my drawings... Harry is more restrained and traumatized but quite sarcastic and happy, while James is easy going and a bit dorky, emotional. Ginny is explosive, fun, mischief. Lily is quiet, soft spoken, but her smile brights up the room.

I think when people don't know what you are drawing, the room for imagination is wide. I draw lily with bangs as the main feature to make such distinction. My ginny is full with freckles and her hair is all over the place because I imagine her moving it a lot with her hands 🥰 James has curlier hair than harry and he's a bit more jacked lol. I draw harry with beard, but I think James didn't like that much.

If you are confident the characters you draw are different (and it's okay they have similar features as well), you won't be demotivated, you will enjoy keep drawing them!

Hi! Do not take this in the wrong way, because I love your art. I'm just curious, are you prepared for the hate and other ugly messages that people might send your way, because you are making fanart of characters from the Harry Potter universe?

Oh no, it's not about being prepared for the worst... It's about the fact I have my own safe place to deal with things about sharing my art. Whats outside of my control (what people feel about my art), I just have to let go. I don't chase comments nor views, did you know I never once published my links outside Tumblr other than Instagram?

I just want to share my art with those who also like what I like 😊

[blvnk-art]

are there other fictional couples who remind you of jily?

I used to try finding couples from tv shows that could remind me of them. But now I have such clear vision of them that I'm just fully satisfied and complete with my drawings 🥲

[blvnk-art]

Oh you're back! That is amazing, I am so glad to see that you're feeling better.

I have a question, this piece of jily art that has been haunting me for forever and I am like 90% sure it is yours. It is at the train station and one of them is leaning out the door. Like holding onto the handle, standing on the stair sort of out the door. I think it is Lily, but my memory isn't what it used to be. Anyway, I think it involves an 'I love you'.

Did I hallucinate this?

I didn't draw them at train station so perhaps it's from another fanartist? I drew an I love you scene but not like you described.

Thank you!!

Jily fanfics

Can we use this post to share links of Jily fics? 😊

I'm totally out of date, and I would love to read some that could be inspired by my arts (yes I totally allow it, in fact I love it)

[blvnk-art]

i would LOVE to see James and Lily seeing each other's patronuses for the first time. But ofc, only if it's something you'd like to draw!

This is such a classic Jily moment but I have a hard time imagining how it would be and how I would portray this. Were them at Hogwarts? Did the patronus changed or they matched since the beginning? How do you guys see that?

[blvnk-art]

Any nsfw Jily headcannons that you plan to draw?

Not specific situation, I know I just want to draw them. Feel free to send me yours headcanons and suggestions to fuel my own inspirations.

[blvnk-art]

Any songs that remind you of your Jily? 🥰

I'll share a song in my native language that I listen to when I draw them. And when I don't.

Areia - Sandy, Lucas

One thing that I am happy about your account is that you started commissions, you stopped being obsessively posting new headcanons every single day like back in 2021. It used to be extremely unhealthy, but now you are back with the energy but this time you sound wiser and more cooler. I am happy to know you are really happy.

I'll be open and honest:

I was extremely unhealthy at that time.

I don't look at my art as the reason of that, but my art and fandom was me trying to escape from that.

I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder a year later, so now I know I was in mania phase.

And I'm here now because I am working through this, I have real life support, I'm stable, happy and loving my life.

Sharing this very personal thing, because maybe someone is struggling too.
