this was my other contribution to the megazine in 2023. the concept was a take on the red string of fate between the magical misfits, represented by red accents and friendship bracelets being passed between the different kids' environments :)
i can't believe i never posted this -- i was part of the dimension 20 megazine in 2023, and this was a magnet design i did as merch for the zine. i had so much fun rendering this. binx's side had a bunch of flower metaphors, if i remember right, but the only thing i can recall currently is redoing the moths 50 times over. i think this was the only time ive ever really drawn rue, too!
(wip) i just think wuvvy would be a total heartthrob with her reputation as a champion. wuvvy hot rights
id. a black and white digital sketch of wuvvy from a court of fey and flowers. wuvvy is a satyr with backward curling horns, goat ears, and a goatlike nose. she has freckles and long curly hair that parts in the middle, as well as a small curly goatee. she poses with one arm behind her head, exposing her armpit and neck as she looks up and away from the viewer. small curls of fur can be seen on her chest. end id.
so excited to be part of this year's @d20megazine!! i won't be able to share the full version of this design for a hot minute, so in the meantime, here's a sneak peak! check out the zine and consider getting yourself a preorder tomorrow 👀 everyone's put together some really cool pieces, and proceeds are benefiting the transgender law project!
that's me!! :) i'm so excited about having been a part of this zine. it was so much fun putting this piece together, and there's so many talented artists being featured. can't wait to have my hands on a copy of the physical piece either!!

[id. a digital sketch done in magenta and purple on a light pink background. it's a portrait of a person with full lips, unusually styled eyebrows, a broad nose, elven ears and a buzzcut. a small fang is visible on their lip. they are resting their face on their hand with a content expression, and their fingernails are bright yellow. end id.]

idk i just think the syl x wuvvy bloom hookups would be insane
ID. A series of digital sketches done in blue pencil brush on a white background. They depict Wuvvy and Lady Sylmenar from A Court of Fey and Flowers. Wuvvy is a satyr woman with curly hair, a goat-like nose, eyes, and ears, a goatee, and some chest fur, wearing a loose button-down. She also has a long tail with curls at the end. Lady Sylmenar is an elfish fairy woman with a prominent nose, small, pursed lips, and long, straight hair styled into an up-do. She's wearing pearl earrings and a pearl necklace and has a small beauty mark on her cheek.
The first drawing shows Wuvvy leaning against her right fist with lidded eyes and a nonplussed expression. A speech bubble coming from her reads "get outta your head" in off-kilter font. There is a drawing beside this of Lady Sylmenar's left hand, showing her wedding ring. A drawing beside that shows Lady Sylmenar from the shoulders up, with her hair neatly done and a neutral expression.
Below this is the second drawing of Wuvvy. This time she's naked and drawn in perspective as though the camera is looking down on her from above. She looks up at the viewer with a challenging, snarky expression. She's wearing a collar with a heart charm on it. A speech bubble next to her reads, in the same off-kilter font, "tell your man to drop dead."
In the final drawing, Wuvvy is holding Sylmenar tightly by the arms, the two of them having just parted from a kiss. Wuvvy is wearing metal caps on the ends of her horns, and her hair is falling over her face, obscuring her eyes. Lady Sylmenar's hair is disheveled, having fallen out of her up-do, and she's blushing, looking dreamily at Wuvvy's lips, where a trail of spit connects them. Her hands are braced between herself and Wuvvy, resting on Wuvvy's chest with her wedding ring visible. A speech bubble coming from Sylmenar reads, in the same off-kilter font as before, "get into my bed," with a small heart as the "i" and the period. End ID.

i've got this idea in my head rn for a series of illustrations showing wuvvy as she grew up in the court of hoof and claw, but it's a little complicated - in the meantime, here's concepts for how she might've looked at various ages :)
id. three digital sketches of wuvvy from a court of fey and flowers at various ages. the first one, labeled "munchkin era," is her as a toddler, with large, goatlike eyes and oversized ears, sporadic freckles, dimples, and short, stubby horns. her hair is short, fluffy, and curly, with a cowlick in the middle, and a gap in her front teeth can be seen in her bright smile. the second drawing is labeled "pre-teen." her horns are longer, beginning to curl backward, her hair is longer, and her ears are more proportionate to her size. the last drawing is her as a teenager. her hair is significantly longer and the middle parted bangs are more pronounced. her horns have curled back enough that the tips of them disappear into her hair. the beginning of a goatee can be seen on her chin. she's wearing a stud earring and a pearl necklace, looking to the side with a neutral expression. end id.
girls when they have emotional motion sickness somebody roll the windows down there are no words in the english language i could scream to drown you out
id. a digital sketch of wuvvy from a court of fey and flowers. wuvvy is a satyr with forward-facing ram's horns, middle-parted curly hair, freckles, goat ears, and a wide nose. she is looking forward with a sad expression, head tilted slightly down and brows drawn together. small flower petals lay on her cheeks like tears. end id.
have been chewing on an idea for a bariaur form for wuvvy. here's two different sketches of the concept from the past few days - the first one was leaning toward the idea of this also bring her champion/fighter form, which is why the vibes are so different from each other
id. two drawings of wuvvy from a court of fey and flowers as a bariaur, which is a humanoid torso on a goat body. she has long curly hair, forward-facing goat horns, goat ears and eyes, and a goatee. in the first drawing, she appears larger and more muscular, with a second set of overgrown horns below her first. she looks back at the viewer with a fierce expression. in the second, she only has one set of horns, and is shown mid-leap with a surprised expression. end id.
messed around in krita today designing outfits for wuvvy! this is probably as close as i'll ever get to having a set design for wuvvy lol :) i think my personal favorites are the everyone secretly wants suit and the green regency outfit. design notes below cut
canon masquerade outfit: drawing this made me realize how much wuvvy's masquerade outfit looks like a wedding gown. with their corresponding color pallet, rue's outfit then seems like a funeral. it kind of tracks, in an odd way, given the way wuvvy and rue's relationship was turning this season - rue, away from the court of wonder, and by extension, wuvvy, experiencing a kind of rejuvenating death of the self; wuvvy, wanting to preserve, failing to be able to. the idea of wuvvy in a wedding dress, watching rue tuck a peony behind hob's ear across the ballroom, is haunting to say the least, even if drawing wuvvy in a dress did feel a little weird for my butch brain.
long-forgotten outfit: visually ties wuvvy to hob through similar suit design in the gold epaulets, while retaining her cream-and-gold aesthetic. stage curtain cape as a nod to the wuvvy stagehand meta (that wuvvy's role in the story is like a stagehand, making her largely unseen but still deeply part of the narrative, difficult to place as either a side or main character). gold leaves on white peonies suggest that wuvvy's relationship to rue (white peonies) has been tainted by the influence of the court of wonder (gold motif).
esw bloom outfit: the gold collar and ruffle of canon have been replaced by two plain gold collars, suggesting a retreat from adornment. loose linen shirt suggests comfort, but also a workmanlike quality which is at odds with her new station as master of ceremonies.
esw formal outfit: white suit with gold accents calls back to the original bloom's masquerade ball and her color pallet then, as was dictated to match rue's, giving a sense of nostalgia. fully-done mandarin collar closes her off. gold shoulders once again echo hob's epaulets, while the black-and-white peony suggests conflicted feelings. gold tips on horns reflect her state of being in the court of wonder, somewhat dulled down (no longer exposing the sharpness of her horns), while at the same time prized and adorned. also, they frame her face well and make her look handsome. the bell in her ear is a callback to hob's tracking device in early season and was inspired by obeetlebeetle's use of the bell in his fic, queen of almost.
queen of almost outfit: she's hot. to be honest
southern lawn outfit: ibid.
queen of almost outfit: okay jokes aside, the hair and loose, billowy shirt together makes her look like a prototypical movie poet. the band around her stomach being deep red is... *glances at cyrano* a kind of visual prophecy
regency green: color pallet calls back to canon design, but holds back on the gold. the bird on her chest could be interpreted in many ways. the one that comes to mind for me is the idea of wuvvy's heart as a bird kept for display. it's very pretty, and very vocal, and it never gets to fly. could also be a visual link to the prologue of everyone secretly wants. red gem above cravat suggests a reticence to speak
id. a digital sketch of wuvvy from a court of fey and flowers in profile. wuvvy is a satyr woman with goatlike eyes, goat ears, long curly hair, and a goatee. she's wearing a sinched turtleneck, and her horns are curled in loops around themselves, almost knotted. near the front, her horns curl to a sharp, red point. end id.
