BOOK OF THE MONTH CHALLENGE: FEBRUARY

February's pull was The Everlasting by Alix E Harrow and I'm a little bit obsessed with this. Doomed time loop, my beloved. Dying in your lovers arms, my beloved. Dying in your lovers arms over and over and over and over and—.

When Una's first chapter came around, I was thinking wow this isn't as enjoyable as Owen's point of view, but I was Wrong. She is so FASCINATING. She's doomed from the start. She goes on anyway. She's full of guilt and just wants to die, but Not Like That. Sex scenes aren't usually my thing, but the character insights in these are superb.

Every single character is well rounded and fleshed out and has their own story, even the villains. But who is a villain, really? Who gets to decide?

“if i become a multimillionaire one day i’ll buy an island- i’ll travel the world-”

dude i’m gonna fund a tsc animated pilot that will usher in the glorious era of the animated shadowhunter multiverse. every series will get an adaptation and there’ll be crossovers and a ke family spinoff and more graphic novels and jamie campbell bower will voice act jace herondale and twitter will turn into a nightmare pit every time a new season drops but that’s a faustian bargain i’m willing to strike. the fanfiction will explode, malec will get its third popularity boost, the world will be introduced to the carstairs family, people will be cosplaying silent brothers and iron sisters for shits and giggles and heronchild and heronthorn will hit 1000 entries on ao3 i could go on all night btw-

Caged Fangs~ Part of my Cage Dress series. I've been so busy with other things, it's nice to finish a proper painting again. Here's a quick timelapse of how I painted it. The full hours long videos, HD image and PSD files will be DMed on my Patreon on June 5th.

For the two of us, home isn't a place. It is a person. And we are finally home.

Finally finished 😭 Timelapse at the bottom! I had an idea for my Wings of Pages series, where instead of text, it's a book full of botanical illustrations. The majority of the time was spent on the individual flowers for each feather/page of the wings. I really love the look of old botanical books with the water color paintings and the scientific names written in cursive. So I spent way too many hours painting out 20 of these flower pages, and even then, it wasn't enough for the wings so I did have to duplicate some.

Here are the 20 flowers! The HD image of Atlas Botanicus, and all 20 HD flower studies without watermark will be DMed on Patreon.com/Yuumei on May 5th, along with the hours long video recording of how I painted everything.
