Elliott with his daughter
Recently, I had to leave my home (and my computer, more specifically) for an indefinite period — though they say it’ll be short. All I have with me are notebooks, pencils, and paints, so there will be a few traditional pieces

Sketch for a art
POV: you wake up and see him, what do you do?
I've had this work hanging since the end of the year. Honestly, I was even embarrassed to post it because it's a bit unfinished, and originally it was supposed to be in color, but my account engagement is completely dead, so oh well. I'll probably finish it later
Actually, I really love these bunnies. I feel like I could draw them forever until my hyperfixation fades
P.s. Those who understood the reference to Tarkovsky’s «Ivan’s Childhood» have my respect, and those who didn’t — go and get acquainted with the classics, on the double
When drawing Kent, artists fall into two categories:
the first depict him as Doom Guy
the second as Gorrister
I have a very beautiful headcanon that Jody was a ballerina before she got married
To elaborate on her childhood and youth in general, I imagine Jody being born into an upper-middle-class or solidly middle-class family. Her mother was surely deeply immersed in the ballet world—perhaps a former ballerina herself, now working as a choreographer and teacher for children's groups (though she openly despises her work). Jody's mother had a hard time getting along with children in principle; she had a difficult pregnancy that frayed her nerves, so much so that one could set her off just by breathing nearby. So why did she even have Jody? Well, it was the result of a fleeting, passionate romance in her youth with a fellow theater artist who eventually ran off with a younger lover, accusing Jody's mother of "letting herself go." This story of her mother's will later resonate deeply with an adult Jody.
Life with her mother was a constant game of Russian roulette. That life left its mark: Jody is perpetually anxious, terrified that something will go wrong. The alternative to this domestic minefield was a ballet boarding school, which was essentially a bubble where a child is locked in a ballet vacuum from morning till night, deprived of strength and time for anything else. Although Jody found the boarding school somewhat calmer, she didn't make any close friends there.
The question of whether Jody actually loved ballet was rhetorical. Jody was born in pointe shoes. Not by her own choice, but because they were put on her, and she never spoke out against it. In her teenage years—a time when you desperately want to be someone—she was obsessed with ballet, but it was a brief flash of passion. The rest of the time, she had no "like/dislike" opinion about ballet. It would be like asking a person if they enjoy drinking water or breathing air.
Jody was not a prima ballerina. She didn't even want to be one, though her mother actively tried to push her into that spot (connections, you see). But Jody was a confident soloist. Not a first soloist or a prima with leading roles, but with her own distinct parts (like one of the little swans in Swan Lake or the dolls in The Nutcracker). It sounds like a source of pride, but how much of that title was her own merit and how much was the pulling of her mother's strings remains an open question—one Jody doesn't want to delve into.
The topic of youth and preserving beauty is an extremely painful one for Jody. This fear stands on several pillars: her mother's fate, abandoned after she became "unattractive" (although in reality, Jody's biological father was just an irresponsible asshole); beauty standards in general (and Jody habitually sets the bar too high for herself); and the very structure of ballet, where after 30 you are considered old (and because of the ballet school vacuum, you willingly or unwillingly fuse your identity with ballet entirely. So the crisis of uselessness after stopping is very palpable). Jody takes meticulous care of herself. The number of jars of creams and other skincare items on her vanity is countless (and in my headcanon, she definitely has a vanity, because for Kent, her preening is nothing more than feminine whims, since Jody has never once told him about her anxieties regarding her appearance. Like: "It's not a man's concern"). She diligently maintains her figure, especially through diet. And in a bad way—especially through diet. Yes, that's an eating disorder. But that's a separate topic I'll delve into some other time. Probably after I lay out my headcanon for Kent, because her disorder manifestly reveals itself through their dynamic.
As for how Jody and Kent even got together, I think it happened before Kent joined the military. Kent is a person absolutely removed from the glitter of the theatrical stage, so he definitely wasn't sitting in the audience, spotting Jody from the stalls. And he couldn't have run into her on the street by the theater, because Jody's entire life schedule was "Home — Ballet Studio — Home — Theater — Home." I think Kent was just working odd jobs at the theater at the time. He had neither money nor romantic skills or flirting ability, but he knew how to show affection through actions (helping out, carrying something, watching out for you, fixing things). For Jody, around whom empty flatterers were always buzzing (and she was very distrustful of men, afraid of repeating her mother's fate), this was very telling and touching. As their relationship developed, they literally had to fight for their right to be together against Jody's mother, who was vehemently opposed. (Not so much out of egoism—though can the fear of being completely abandoned be called egoism?—but out of worry for Jody's fate. It's true that Jody's mother was an unstable bitch, but that's only one side of the coin. The other side was a lonely woman who repeatedly snapped at her child, causing the child to literally shrink away into corners, while Jody's mother couldn't bring herself to approach and apologize.) Getting back to the "war" over their relationship... "fighting together" is a strong way to put it... Kent fought, and Jody stood beside him mute, because her lifelong exhaustion with this whole circus was off the charts. If earlier she could suppress her fatigue with training, when she got together with Kent and he covered her head to toe with his care through deeds, her exhaustion could no longer be ignored. In her relationship with Kent, she finally allowed herself to just be a woman who is cared for, protected, and provided for as best he can (Kent didn't have much money back then, but he was a bright and hardworking guy) with nothing asked in return but her presence. Although, sometimes even presence wasn't required. Kent would come by her window on his own, even if it was out of his way. Jody finally let herself relax, and when during yet another conflict with her mother, Kent simply took Jody by the elbow and said, "We'll manage on our own. We don't need you anymore," and led her out of the house—Jody followed him. She was just tired. And even her mother's eyes, deeply filled with pain as Jody left, said nothing to her. Though Jody wasn't obligated to listen to them anyway. What followed was a shared apartment, marriage, pregnancy, maternity leave, and... well, I suppose I'll leave the rest for another post. This one is already far too long, and I'm starting to feel a bit awkward writing so much. A strange feeling. As if I'm sharing something very personal and silly.
I finished my first commission!! 🥳
YCH for Stardew Valley!!!
I have this little sketch of Sebastian lying around here, which has been sitting idle for an embarrassingly long time. Maybe someone could use it? Anyway, it’s all up to you ^^
Well, or not only with Sebastian of course (look, look, Sam as a bard)
And here are a couple of ideas for clothing for your characters.
If anything, I'm waiting for you in private messages 🎀🎀🎀
Have you ever thought about Elliot might cry like a princess?
Actually, I have a personal headcanon that Elliot, in his moments of vulnerability, uses his hair as a "curtain" to hide his tears from others. By the way, my second headcanon fits perfectly on top of this one
I believe Elliot came from a very conservative family, where they tried to raise him as a "real man," and viewed his tears or his passion for anything creative as weakness or "gayness." Of course, over the years, after Elliot grew up and cut ties with his family (or, well, his family disowned him), he long ago realized how wrong his upbringing was. But deep down, he still carries that fear and an intense reluctance to be seen crying by anyone (let's not forget his pride, which wouldn't allow him to appear in a less-than-perfect light)
I am more than sure that if you (that is, the farmer) accidentally caught him in such a state (who knows, maybe a book review was too scathing or he's in another creative slump that makes him feel powerless and incapable), he would either try to escape under some polite pretext or would deny it until the very end, saying something like: "I just have something in my eye," and... okay, for God's sake, could someone please write a short little fanfic about this? I've gotten too fixated on this small headcanon, sorry
Yes, it's been a while since I've been here, sorry, I've been very busy. I wish everyone an early Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, all the best, and here's a wonderful gift for you, heh heh
🎁 Care instructions for the gift 🎁: love it, feed it, dress it, and listen to its literary musings.
Also, I have a business question for you, my dears. I want to start taking commissions. Yes, I know there aren't many examples of my work yet, only Elliot on the account, but I can assure you that my professional art education can bring many of your ideas to life! So, how much would you value my work? In terms of price. And how much would you actually be willing to pay for my art?
It's just that my financial situation is really bad right now, and I would be very grateful to anyone interested in my work who orders art from me.💔
AU where Willy and Elliott have known each other for a very long time.
Their first meeting happened during one of Willy's night fishing trips, which, as you can see, ended in failure. In the end, it was Elliott who saved him.
Because mermaids live much longer than humans, Elliott still looks young, while Willy has eventually turned into an old man. Yet, they are still buddies.
Initially, I planned to depict them simply as friends, but while working on it, I realized they started to look more like a couple cosplaying "The Little Mermaid." I didn't want to change anything at that point, so I continued working despite a slight feeling of cringe.
P.S. Elliott's long hair isn't just for aesthetics. It has plot significance, which I will reveal later.

Inktober Day 2: 'Cotton Candy' - prompt by @stardewfanficwritersguild
Vincent and Jas at the Valley Fair 🩷
I feel like Jodi is the kind of parent to refuse to let her kids go near all the deep fried carnival food and artifically dyed sugar, whereas Shane would just hand Jas a 20 and tell her to go wild
They are so cute
"I have to comb my hair every day, otherwise it gets tangled. It's a lot of work. I'm surprised I haven't shaved it off in frustration yet. I suppose I'm too vain for that."
Drawing based on one of Elliot's lines
Actually, I was very surprised and upset when I went to the wiki and realized that my translation in the game was incorrect (I understand that in the original, he simply said that it takes a long time to style his hair, but in my translation, for some reason, he mentions combing and wanting to cut it off. That's weird, lol), and half of Elliot's lines were deleted altogether. :(
