The one who protect

I'm so happy that I'm finally drew them together! ❤️ I've been unsuccessfully trying to draw them together for many years. It's because I have some trouble drawing my favourite characters (it never turns out right), but I'm working on it.

At some point while I was drawing, it started snowing, and I felt like it was the perfect weather for this artwork. And yesterday, I also read a fanfic with a similar snowy atmosphere, and now I like my drawing even more.

I hope I managed to capture the feeling of when it's cold outside, but your heart feels warm because someone important is by your side ❤️‍🔥

Book trend 📖

In my opinion, she perfectly suits for this trend. So I had to do it! 😅

I like this sketchy style I used for this one, it's simple and fast. It's suitable for capturing an idea, but not spending too much time on it. And since I have too many ideas, I will definitely use it more than once! ⭐️

i love you gothic literature. i love you gothic romance. i love you vampires and blood. i love you ghosts and phantoms. i love you unsettling themes. i love you fangs in the neck. i love you religious imagery. i love you manors and crypts. i love you cemeteries and haunts. i love you doomed narratives. i love you rot and decay. i love you centuries-long yearning. i love you all consuming love. i love you hunger as desire. i love you monstrous intimacy. i love you cynicism of the human experience. i love you monsters unaware of their horrors until confronted with them.

Bless @kiebs-creative-corner for bringing my 2011 obsession with Gajeel Redfox to life. And yes, his nipples and belly button are pierced XD

I just saw a post where one of the comments was a woman saying that they don't care about the POV or internal life of female characters in general, and I didn't want to reblog that post because I didn't want to go after that specific person, but I did want to say:

If that is how you feel (regardless of what gender you are), if every time you read a female character (but only a female character) you think, ugh I don't care about them, they're so boring, female characters never have internal lives worth reading about, you need work on that.

I'm serious. Figure out what your hangup is, reevaluate how you're approaching stories, maybe get some therapy or talk to someone about it if you need to, and figure out how to get past your dismissal of female POVs as being worth reaing.

Because whatever problem you have with the internal lives or POVs of female characters, it's an issue you also have with women. It's not like female characters are somehow universally written as so fundamentally different from real women that everything you find so dull or shallow or annoying or uninteresting in those female characters is fictionalized--and, it's not like female characters are somehow universally written as so fundamentally different from male characters that everything you find so shallow or dull or annoying or uninteresting in those female characters isn't also present in those male characters in some very similar way.

And if your excuse is that men can't write women--read more things written by women. (Some men can write women well, but you should read things written by women anyway.)

Tl;dr: If you find yourself looking at every female character you read, or every Black character, or every disabled character, etc. and thinking that somehow none of them quite live up to the male/white/abled characters that you are used to reading, that's something you need to work on.

Wedding Sketches!

So out of complete creative boredom, instead of working on my fanfic, redesigns, or how I'm gonna move into my dorm for junior year, I have instead decided to draw wedding dresses for Juvia and Lucy .

I always imagined Juvia wearing a more timeless wedding dress while Lucy would be a lot more modern. This little challenge also helped me in drawing their respective body types and moving further away from same face syndrome. I always usually draw Juvia a bit more slender and sharp, and I like making Lucy ever so slightly cute and plump.

With Juvia, I was very inspired by 1970's wedding dresses with long thinner sleeves and an empire waistline with plenty of lace. I was also inspired by more fairy tale aesthetics. If I do fully render this illustration, I plan on making her dress a pale silvery blue in color with slight light yellow accents. This is to represent her acceptance of her powers as the Rain Woman and the little bits of sunlight that have ultimately changed the trajectory of her life.

Lucy was obviously a much different matter. My biggest inspirations were 2000s and 2010s wedding gowns. Strapless, big, and very much ruffled. I wanted her dress to be more modern and grounded in reality while still being extravagant enough to be something Lucy would wear. I would make her a dress a light blush color with white accents.

This is a shorter post in comparison to my last one, but this is something I just felt like showing people. I love Lucy and Juvia very much, and I just can't help but always draw them.

I am starting university again very soon. I might not update as much in the coming days. I apologize, but I will come back as soon as I can! I hope everyone likes this posts.

Until next time!
