Self Indulgent OC Art bc The Brainrot Is Real @cuteniaarts - Tumblr Blog

After over six years of posting my art online, I’ve finally decided to create a little Meet the Artist page! Featuring pretty bare bones facts, questionable appearance accuracy, and my adorably fluffy roommate-children

#my art #artists on tumblr #meet the artist #I never knew what to put on these things tbh #this is just.. everything that came to mind that wasn’t too doxxy #yay my favourite summer dress ew my handwriting #I should get my hair touched up.. it’s very washed out at this point #I’m gonna be honest I started this MONTHS ago and only now got around to posting #but hey better late than never #and yeah I know I’m cuteniaarts on here but malachitezmeyka is the preferred pseudonym #I just came up with it a tad too late #I love when people call me zmeyka actually….#ANYWAY that’s not the point #finally.. a pinned post for this blog #it was the last one without it #also yeah I’m a bit of an editor too hence the laptop with shotcut #if I made edits for actually existing fandoms I’d post them #but I only do them for the movies my friends played in so… what’s the point #I did post my musketeers edits once though. but I made that on a tablet in capcut #so different thing. doesn’t count #okay rambling is fun and all but I should go to bed I have a nine a.m class #it is currently… 3 a.m……..#ughhhhh #what is a sleep schedule #hell if I know

Happy (a day late because uni kicked my ass) MerMay!!

I think these two would get along in every universe, the one where they’re both half-seacreatures included :)

#my art #artists on tumblr #mermay 2026 #the legend of korra #Kat and Nia and their multiverse of madness #nia’s mermaid au #original characters #sotrl suiren #alasie #Suiren lives in the more southern seas so would she ever swim that far north?#probably not. but bear with me for the sake of these two crossing paths again #mermaid au Alasie makes me insane actually. I recently reread the backstory I wrote for her and now I’m chewing on drywall #selfies are the intersection of two of my favourite things. mermaids and seals. of course I’m obsessed with them #and I do think that when Alasie gets her coat back she spends a lot of time as a seal #making up for the years she lost. she feels more at home in the water than she ever did on land #maybe that’s how she and Suiren meet. Suiren tries to eat her :P #but Alasie manages to make it onto a chunk of ice. de transforms and is like. hey what the fuck #and Suiren’s like oh sorry I thought you were a normal seal #and the conversation spawns from there cause Alasie didn’t know that mermaids were real and Suiren has never seen a selkie #I just think Suiren deserves to have a sea creature buddy #she’s terribly lonely in most verses. and while she has no desire for friends it’s nice to have someone to talk to #especially someone who Gets It. at least in some way #can they be classified as friends? not really. but for the brief moments they share together they’re both a little less alone #and that matters more than arbitrary labels #(I’m sorry I’m just very attached to aplatonic Suiren)#(Suiren is aplatonic and Alasie is aroace so whatever the fuck they have going on is truly the Secret Third Thing)#I need more of these two interacting. UtOS or mermaid au or any other context #creator’s ideal self meets creator’s self insert. is this the Niyaverse of madness now?#who am I kidding. the multiverse of madness was always the Niyaverse of madness. and the Katkaverse of madness too #hey Kat if you’re seeing this come yell with me. about them or anyone else

Once upon a time, long long ago, or more precisely, six years to the day, one @katkastrofa stumbled upon a certain incorrect quotes blog that frequently featured Red Lotus content, and decided to message the blog owner to let her know how much she liked her posts

It is of utmost importance that the blog owner not ignore the message and find it in herself to write back. It will end up being the best decision of her life

Or, in slightly less dramatic terms, today, May 3rd, is mine and Kat’s friendship anniversary!! No matter how busy both of us may be, we’re still the very best of friends and I love and cherish her so, so, so much. And of course, I had to make something to commemorate the occasion:

The reasoning as to why I chose Ehuang to draw is a little cheesy and mushy, but do I care? Not at all. The gist is, I like to assign birthdays to my OCs. I don’t go off zodiacs or some other symbolism, just vibes usually, with the exception of Suiren whose birthday I made the Winter Solstice very, very intentionally. Midori is August 11th, Haya is March 1st, etc etc. So when it came time to pick a birthday for Ehuang… really, only one date felt right in my mind. In our multiverse, Ehuang is truly the manifestation of everything good and pure, a sign that everything is finally right with the world, a perfect mix of her big family, so it felt wrong to give her any other birthday but our friendship anniversary, the one day during that awful year where things were just a little less awful

Happy birthday, sweet Ehuang, and happy friendship anniversary, my beloved, dearest friend <3

#my art #artists on tumblr #Kat and Nia and their multiverse of madness #original character #ehuang beifong #I nearly teared up writing out this post no one touch me #I want to ramble a lot more but I spent like. four hours straight speedrunning this so I could finish it in time #and I’m tired and hungry and have to get up early #but I will say #ehuang’s adult design was invented on the fly and I will probably change it a bunch #the main idea was that she likes experimenting with how she looks. going for more unconventional things #the front part of her hair is much longer than the rest on purpose #she just decided to cut off half of it and keep the rest one day #and I’m getting a little emotional cause like. the other women in her family never had an easy relationship with hair #for Suiren it was the last connection to her mama and also a major trigger bc of Haya’s abuse #for Haya it was also something she shared with her ma. something she severed herself bc she couldn’t stand it anymore #but Ehuang?#she has no one to miss. nothing to fear. she can chop it all off and not care because it will grow back. it’s just hair #and that’s just another symbol of how good she has it. how lucky she is #my beautiful perfect girl who will never have to suffer #who has known nothing but joy and comfort and the love of her family #I want us to put some more effort into her soon #come up with what she’s like when she’s older. finally settle on her siblings’ names and personalities #it’s the least she deserves #but all that aside #the next time we get to talk I will say much more in DMs. tags on a public post are no place for such convos #but Kat. I love you so so much #I’m so grateful to have you as a friend. I’ve known you for my entire teenagehood. I’ve grown up with you #and now that we’re a full year past the five year mark.. I believe we will truly make it to ten years. and to however many more after #I wanna be friends with you until the day I die. and as long as you want me. I promise that I will be here

A little peak into what @katkastrofa and I have been coming up with for the past three days or so, regarding one of our oldest and yet far too ignored AUs, Under the Oak’s Shade, where P’Li’s old firebending teacher rescues Suiren and Midori from Haya and takes them up north to raise in peace with her bloodbending lesbian lover.

In this verse, Suiren is more a healer than a fighter, and the first time she truly stepped outside the role of being merely her grandma’s assistant was when she took initiative in saving a newborn who, along with its mother, almost died during birth. So here is 12 y.o. Renny, looking more Water Tribe than in seven years of previous drawings combined (I do love painting the white fur), maybe a couple of weeks after the incident, coming to check up on the tiny thing :)

(Before anyone comes at me – yes, the background is a screenshot from the show, do I look like some who has the time or energy to draw backgrounds?? All’s fair in love and war, idc)

#my art #artists on tumblr #the legend of korra #Kat and Nia and their multiverse of madness #Under the Oak’s Shade #original characters #sotrl suiren #technically UtOS Suiren but that’s just the tag I use on everything regarding her #it’d get too confusing otherwise #anyway. it’s nearly four a.m and I should really get to bed so I don’t have many tag rambles in me #but I’ve decided to name that baby Mikiruq. meaning ‘small’. or just Miki for short #I imagine she was probably rather tiny for a good while after her birth so the name fits #Suiren is of course always a welcome presence in their house #mikiruq’s parents literally owe her everything. they’re always happy to let Suiren check in on the little darling #and Suiren is perhaps a but too overprotective at first. sometimes spending hours watching her sleep just making sure that she’s breathing #and the only thing that snaps her out of it is her family coming to fetch her #but with time she grows out of it. let her indulge a little it’s the first life she saved #and I imagine she’ll will end up becoming somewhat of a big sister figure for mikiruq #occasionally babysitting her and the like. and once mikiruq is old enough to actually recognise people she always lights up seeing renny #she reminds Suiren a little of Midori. how could she not love that child?#and no. she’s not replacing Midori in any way. she still spends wayyy more time with her actual sister #I just think that Suiren can have an extra little sister sometimes. as a treat #(the treat being that it’s not as angsty as most of the scenarios where the extra sister is Nazra. not counting the ultimate au ofc)#or what. is Midori the only one who can collect siblings? in canon verse she has like. 5 little siblings and just as many siblings in law #it’s Suiren’s turn #okay I said I wasn’t gonna ramble and yet here I am. getting close to the tag limit again #I’m really gonna shut up and try to get some sleep now #if Kat wants to she can ramble about this too #and now I really wanna design a slightly older mikiruq…. BUT THAT’S FOR TOMORROW IDC I NEED SLEEP #GOOD NIGHT

12.04.2019

#my art #artists on tumblr #animal death #I think of Fanny often. how can I not when Honeybun is the exact same breed #and while my heart always skips a beat.. I tend to think that I’ve let her go #until the anniversary. every year on the anniversary I’m reduced to tears #April 12th can never be anything else. every year there’s a country wide celebration of the anniversary of gagarin’s flight to space #this year it’s even orthodox easter sunday. and yet I can only think of her #I’ve been missing her longer than I’ve known her. her time in this world was far. far too brief #and the worst part is that I’ve forgotten so much about her. movies I will never get back #I never got to say goodbye. it sounds so ridiculous but on that day I was dealing with the worst constipation imaginable #I spent hours in the bathroom. last time I saw her was sometime in the early afternoon after getting home from school #she was laying under a tree in the yard. I saw her and thought it looked unnatural. I asked mom and she found it odd too #but shrugged it off as her looking for shade from the sun. I don’t know if she was already dead by then #all I know is that when I finally emerged from the bathroom I was met with my mom staring at me. absolutely devastated #I didn’t get to say goodbye. I don’t know what they did with her. whether she’s buried or burned or throw out like trash #I’m too scared to ask.#the next morning mom never said anything about her again. and so neither did I. we almost never talked about her and now I’ve forgotten #I struggle badly to remember her mannerisms. the sound of her bark. even how she looked like.#most pictures I had were destroyed along with my tablet in October 2020. what’s in the post is almost everything I have left #in the past year and a half it’s gotten even harder to remember. the image of Honeybun is superimposed upon the memory #there was a reason why when my mom started looking at cavaliers I specifically asked for a black one #I couldn’t bear the thought of having a dog that looks just like the one I lost. I didn’t want to associate white and brown with anyone else #and still. inadvertently. the image muddles. how could it not. I was a child back then. I’ve forgotten a lot from my childhood #including my childhood dog. it’s only natural. but I can’t help but blame myself for it #I wasn’t the best dog owner. I was a kid. she went ignored a lot when I had more fun things to do #now I wish I spent more time with her. now I let honeybun sleep in my bed and take thousands of pictures that I post #to make sure I never lose all traces of her like I did with Fanny. their names rhyme in Russian. every time someone misspeaks I want to cry #I don’t think I’ll ever not cry about her. she died when I was 12 going on 13. almost a year later covid hit. my childhood died with her #I don’t know if the seven year cell change is true. but I do know that my teenage years left me a completely different person regardless.

Short haired Suiren sketch because I love her

#cutest little cinnamon bun in the world #my art #artists on tumblr #Kat and Nia and their multiverse of madness #original character #sotrl suiren

Does it hurt? Knowing who you could’ve been?

#my art #artists on tumblr #Kat and Nia and their multiverse of madness #original character #sotrl haya #well it hurts ME that’s for sure #words cannot describe how insane Haya makes me #I meant to post this on March 1st for her birthday but I’m drowning in school work and battling sleep deprivation so. I’m posting it now #last year Kat and I talked about what Haya may have ended up as had her parents not died and I cannot get the thought out of my head #look at her. gorgeous. confident. happy #not hung up on the past #not turned bitter and cruel after losing everyone she loved #not endlessly mourning her parents #not so codependently attached to her brother that him leaving breaks her #not exhausted beyond her years by hard work #and most of all. not the vile excuse for a guardian that she ended up being for her nieces #in a verse like this.. I have no doubts she’d be fond of them #alas…….#I do really love her design here. and the vague bits and pieces we’ve come up for her #yes she’s an abusive piece of shit and her past is no excuse #yes I cry for her and deeply wish she doesn’t die alone and miserable #the situation contains multitudes #whichever way you spin in and whatever you think of her. she’s still easily my most emotionally conflicting character #and I love her but I hate her but I love her #well. at least in one au she got to be truly happy. her narrative isn’t always doomed #at least in one au she got to live up to her full potential #a.k.a. lore drop time. Haya’s an earthbender. a sandbender to be more specific #she just never knew it. she was a late bloomer so it wasn’t discovered in childhood. both her parents are nonbenders so she assumed the same #but in a different world. one where she got to visit the desert and reconnect with her roots. it would have shown through #but history has no room for what ifs and would haves. and so she will always remain the woman on the right

Something a bit different from what I usually post – last month both my uni groupmate and I fucked up our chance of filling a free spot (we had three drop outs last semester) in the exact same ridiculously pathetic way, so to cheer her up I drew her OC Hel from her story, Winter’s Greatest Loser!

(don’t ask me any more details, I know very little about the whole thing except that it’s set in the future on a space station (I found this out three months after following her art channel))

#my art #artists on tumblr #original characters #winter’s greatest loser #she’s just like me fr #I guess you can say both me and my groupmate are urfu’s greatest losers….#eh. there’ll be more chances in the future. I’m not really upset about that #anyways. enjoy this little cutie pie I know very very little about #is this what it feels like to talk to me with my bajillion OCs I rarely tell people about #probably lol #I love drawing hair like this sooooo much I should do it more often #honestly I think in general my lineart is too think and my art always look better when I paint over it #eh. oh well. maybe I’ll try to incorporate it more into my style. we’ll see #I honestly drew this wayyyy quicker than I thought I would. it only took me a few hours #usually I’m a much slower artist #probably cause it was done in one sitting #as soon as I decide to continue something the next day the art is as good as dead #a lot of stuff I posted recently was me finishing off YEARS old art #namely the Ehuang one and the kuviren day one #I really gotta work on that too #okay enough rambles I’m gonna go draw smth before I get too tired and lose inspiration byeeeeee

Continuing with showcasing art I finished ages ago but for some reason never posted, this time featuring Ehuang, Midori and Opal’s daughter, a little older than she was the last time I drew her but just as precious and adorable <3

#my art #artists on tumblr #the legend of korra #original character #Kat and Nia and their multiverse of madness #ehuang beifong #I’m too tied for tag rants so I’ll probably come back to edit these later #god I need to fix my sleep schedule #but for now. here. enjoy sweet baby ehuang who isn’t quite a baby anymore #and try not to think about how her being 13 implies Suiren and Midori are in their mid 40s and the red lotus are in their late 60s #:)

“That’s a pretty ribbon you two have there. Where’d you get it from?”

“Oh you know… off the Swamp Spirit.”

(Context because apparently not everyone can see into my head:

The Swamp Spirit is Suiren. These two, Kesari and Kang-Mi, are her neighbours from up the road, twins the same age as her and the daughters of Rani, who was the childhood best friend and ex crush of Suiren’s abusive aunt. Suiren is ostracised in her community, to the point kids are picking up on the adults’ behaviour and think it’s fine to bully her. Not like she has anyone to stand up for her anyway….. One day, the twins steal a ribbon from her hair, which unbeknownst to them was one of the last keepsakes she has left from her parents. Their mom brings it back to Suiren and all is seemingly well, but the incident firmly cements it in Suiren’s mind that truly nobody is on her side, not even her peers.)

#my art #artists on tumblr #Kat and Nia and their multiverse of madness #original characters #I finished this last year and included it in my 2025 art vs artist but only now realise I never posted it #so far the theme of my 2026 art posts is ‘Suiren having the absolute worst time of her fucking life’#she just wanted to feel pretty for once goddamnit!!#at this point she spent almost half her life insulted and degraded every single fucking day. she just wanted to feel pretty #and all it lead to was someone deciding the swamp spirit isn’t deserving of such nice things #and again. Rani gives it back. but you just know Suiren never found the courage to wear it again #I don’t explore it nearly enough but it breaks my heart that Suiren is hated so much that even kids join in #and she truly doesn’t have anyone. only Midori who is three years younger and isn’t an ally but someone to protect in Suiren’s eyes #if Suiren fights back in any way and it makes its way back to Haya….. Suiren will be the one punished #it’s easier to keep her head down and avoid conflict when she can #she probably doesn’t go outside much at all. Haya hating her is enough without being aware that everyone else does too #my poor sweet girl….. why do I do this to you??#she deserves a childhood where she gets to indulge in all the ribbons and pretty frilly dresses she loves so much all she wants #but alas. not in this particular verse

I am sorry I wasn’t there when you were little. I would have iced the bruises on your back.

January 12th officially marks 5 years since I made my very first piece of Kuviren art, back when it was just a crackship @katkastrofa and I came up with in the middle of the night, and I try to make a point of celebrating it in some way every year. This time, I bring you angst 🥲

#my art #artists on tumblr #the legend of korra #Kat and Nia and their multiverse of madness #original character #kuvira #sotrl suiren #kuviren #implied child abuse #because Haya is awful. what else is new #I do have an AU in my head where they briefly meet as kids. but it’s nothing like this #they’re a bit older and it’s nowhere as heartfelt #cause by 11 Suiren is already very jaded and doesn’t let anyone close #here. though? they’re just two abandoned kids desperate for affection #for someone to look at them and recognise what they’re going through #and maybe in some world. for a brief moment. they find what they yearn for in each other #I’m gonna make myself cry I love them so much 😭😭😭#also.. look at me following my art vs artist patterns #Suiren having a bad times. tons of blues and greens #I truly never change :’)#also hi Kat. hope you like this. come be insane about kuviren with me. I’ve missed it

@katkastrofa wanted, quote, “more Suiren. I need visions of her. Especially like that”, so I, as a humble slave to praise and adoration, am delivering

Or, in less dramatic terms, here’s another Suiren splattered in blood:

#my art #artists on tumblr #Kat and Nia and their multiverse of madness #original character #sotrl suiren #very much based on that one megan fox gifset Kat tagged me in the other day #hey Kat. hope you like this #and as a fun thought experiment…. imagine just what she had to do to get THAT covered in blood #like clothes and body are understandable… but half her face is caked here #so just.. imagine the circumstances 😁#trying to get Kat to fully indulge in this with me and write something. one art at a time #the swamp demon au is genuinely my new favourite thing. I need more of it. immediately #oh. and uhh #blood tw #implied murder

Art VS. Artist, 2025 edition

(+ 2024 edition below)

(Lowkey-highkey inspired by @rokurookajima to do this because I’ve never really done roundups like this before. Very fun but I’m pretty sure any longer on a canvas with all these opened in high quality and my tablet would have exploded again 💀💀💀)

#my art #artists on tumblr #art vs artist 2025 #original characters #Kat and Nia and their multiverse of madness #technically there are like…. two and a half canon characters on here #but I don’t care enough to tag tbh I’ve been up all night #when I tell you Procreate crashed like three times on me…..#I did 4096 by 4096 pixels so the quality of everything is good #and I upped the dpi on all my canvases recently cause I realised it was set hella low #and with all the art plus the photos…. yeah my tablet was STRUGGLING #we made it but.. yeah it’s definitely overheating slightly #also I was playing around with colour settings and read that cmyk is better for printing than rby so I tried it out #*rbg. but who cares #yeah idk about printing but it dulls the colours of everything pasted into a canvas set to it by A LOT #and I only realised when I pasted in the last piece on the 2024 version #so I had to repaste EVERYTHING on a new rbg canvas so it’s all nice and saturated #and yet tumblr’s gonna ruin it anyway……. SAD #also yeah hi my face is on here. don’t do that often #summer 2024 was peak depression era….. picture was me in the sunrise after yet another sleepless night #ironically right now I’m up after a sleepless night once again but. I’m naturally nocturnal leave me alone #anyway I think you can tell by my eyes how done I was with everything. 2025 sucked but mentally I was def doing better #picture is from my high school graduation. one of the only pics I actually like of myself so I shove it everywhere #but imo my 2024 art was better.. on occasion. but I also drew a lot more cause it was a very oc heavy year #2025 wise I am hella proud of my little renny in the rain art. also based on this guess who my fave oc is lmao #I love Suiren I love dramatic lighting I love pretty girls from the waist up (bunch of these are full body but shhh)#I love how you can just see all stages of Suiren here. poor wet meow meow. unhinged feral killer. lovey dovey with Kuvira #and all the bajillion different AUs I shove her into. curse of the face character. but tbh I peaked with the Malina portrait #never could quite replicate that again… it’s like something possessed me. Kat if you’re reading this we should talk about her again sometime #the fact these are all in like two colour pallettes…. BLUES AND GREENS I SURE DO LOVE MY BLUES AND GREENS. AND THE OCASSIONAL ORANGE

Кровь стекает незаметно по рукам брусничным соком,

По косе багряной лентой, алой ниткой на платок.

Слева ряска и трясина, справа дягиль и осока.

У хозяина болота голос ласков, нрав жесток.

I’d love to be kinder to my dearest creation on her birthday, but this is the only completed piece I haven’t yet posted and I have neither the time nor energy to draw or write anything else. So here, a horror-esque piece inspired by our latest still unnamed AU where Suiren goes off the rails and tears apart everyone who ever hurt her 🫠🫠🫠

The lyrics are from “У хозяина болота” by Сны Саламандры, which I’ve been saying has some intense Suiren vibes for a while. I highly recommend the song even if you don’t speak Russian, the vibes are immaculate

#my art #artists on tumblr #the legend of korra #original character #Kat and Nia and their multiverse of madness #sotrl suiren #have to commemorate my specialest girl’s birthday SOMEHOW. even if.. it’s featuring easily the worst au for her 😬#btw this is best viewed at full brightness that way the lighting effect really works #I spent so long fiddling with her dress I did not have the strength to figure out glowing okay #but I rather like this anyway #somehow help her good god #oh and before I forget #blood tw #uhhh… idk if anything else needs tagging #implied murder #?? ig #good enough #anyway #lyrics translation just in case:#‘blood flows unnoticed down the hands like lingonberry juice #down the braid like a crimson ribbon like a scarlet thread on the handkerchief #on the left is duckweed and mire on the right is angelica and sedge #the master of the swamp has a gentle voice but a cruel nature’#it’s more poetic in Russian I promise 😅#maybe one day I’ll do a proper rhyming translation. idk. we’ll see

SHE'S SUCH A KITTEN I CAN'T DEAL WITH HER

#my art #artists on tumblr #original character #Kat and Nia and their multiverse of madness #Lalezar #I love her your honour....#art wip

She closes her eyes, mentally checks on the little doe-eyed girl she used to be, shivering against the whipping of rain, tiny fists pushed into her ears to tune out the thunders, mouth full of swallowed screams she knows are pointless to let out.

‘Please let me in. Please, don't leave me here alone.’

Passing eyes, making themselves comfortable with the ghastly sight by pretending that she's not really there - not a being of this world, but truly the accursed thing Haya recognized in her.

Should Suiren look away like they did?

(Or: @katkastrofa dropped the most heartbreaking few paragraphs in her latest fic and I’m in my feels about my specialest girl again. What else is new?)

#my art #artists on tumblr #the legend of korra #Kat and Nia and their multiverse of madness #original character #sotrl suiren #for the record. no. I’m not a superhuman who could whip this up in three hours #I drew this in like.. April or so. and never posted because most of my art is doomed to rot in the gallery forever #I had an awfully long day so have pretty much no energy to type out a tag ramble #maybe Kat will be feeling up to it. idk #but anyway. enjoy my sad sopping wet poor little meow meow who was born in a cardboard box all alone #someone get her out of that rain please 😭😭😭#and yes I’m aware that a lot of this is messy and unrefined but do I care? no #I’ve had like 10 hours of sleep all weekend I don’t care about ANYTHING anymore #take it or leave it

A year ago, I declared August 11th to be Midori’s birthday and wrote a fic about it, therefore this year, I decided to draw something instead. I didn’t have much time or energy for it since I’m impossibly tired these days, so I chose to do a redraw of a piece from four years ago, a visual representation of a scene from Back to the Roots, one of the first fics @katkastrofa wrote for me

(I recommend turning your brightness all the way up for this one, looks rather grey otherwise)

In the dim light of the harbor and luminescent spirit vines, the wrinkles on her forehead create stark shadows, etching deep into her face. Her hair is pulled back into two pigtails, just like she used to wear it once.

Just like dad used to style it.

The implication stabs with a dull ache inside her heart - yet another proof that it’s not nearly as well protected as Suiren tries to convince herself of.

“They’re back. They’re alive,” her eyes are alight with pure, unadulterated joy, then gloss over with pleading when she doesn’t find a response in Suiren. Perhaps she is no longer able to feel such a thing.

“They will stay with us from now on,” Midori searches her face, waiting for her to smile and nod.

By all means, that’s what Suiren should do - reassure her little sister and not dampen her mood. In the past thirteen years, Midori had precious little good moments to light up over.

But to agree is an undoing in disguise, opening her up to more promises bound to break and to the pain of loss again.

“You don’t believe that, do you?” her face falls.

(Perhaps something happier would have been in order, but here we are regardless :P If by this time next year Kat and I finally finish coming up with Midori’s kids, I’ll make something featuring them, but we’ll see)

#my art #artists on tumblr #the legend of korra #Kat and Nia and their multiverse of madness #original character #sotrl midori #the lighting took me ages and I’m still not sure how I feel about it #I think I’ve been staring at it for too long #thing is. I do have a dramatic lighting tutorial by Nina saved. I was just too lazy to consult it #oh well. maybe I’ll tweak it still #but for now I think this is as good as it’s gonna get #and maybe it doesn’t live up to last year’s commemoration. but I make do with the time and energy I have #genuinely begging life to give me a break at this point. good god #anyway gonna stop rambling and probably go to bed. I have to get up early to #*tomorrow #🙄🙄🙄
