About My Art;

As a trans-lesbian, I see pregnancy in the same way many non-binary people see TV Heads.

If I could *be* a pregnant woman and do surrogacy?? I would in a heartbeat.

However, I know that is extremely unrealistic and impractical.

I still yearn though, and express this through my art.

Thank you for your time.

Hi, I want to say that I appreciate your worldbuilding and would love to see more of it. Few questions:

1. Besides Faeries, which other fantasy races (or “peoples”) in your world-building.

2. Lifespan and age stages of faeries and other fantasy races (or “peoples”) in your worldbuilding.

3. What makes each fantasy race different or similar in your world-building compared to their typical fantasy depictions.

4. In world-building, depending on the medium, what would you say is the reasonable number of fantasy races and whether there is such thing as too much or too little.

1-"none"... kinda- this project was mostly to discuss my thoughts on the faeries themselves- but to be fair theres pleanty of groups that the fairies internally would consdier "diffrent races" (though its much more analogous to the diffrences between "different nationalities" in the real world)

otherwise many of my projects are explorations of singular ideas- which don't too often have a need for more than 1 people group

2-i specifically left the exact ages and times vague, as it was more an idea template that ive since re-used a lot in diffrent contexts with difftent specifics in those areas

(this was more ment to be a template for a type of creature, similarly to how 'birds' are a very specific group, but there is no singular "lifespan" and "age" for the entirety of all 'birds')

3-i only really use differences from their standard fantasy depictions when its theme-relevant

(e.g. the most recent one i made was based on the 4 humors- so it had themes like the elves were very melancholic (sad) bc of their long lifespans but they felt very deeply and that factored into their more intricate magic use-)

i feel it varies from thing to thing

4-i just *go*, i mostly draw things so the medium limitations are mostly "as many as i can remember" but i wouldn't say there's any "perfect number" or anything- though as mentioned earlier if there is variation in the theme id probably try and go for a minimum of 3, as it gives a good way to have variations on the theme without a horrendus amount of work or accidentally making a "good guy race" and "bad guy race".

as far as "more of it" goes, ive seen you liking my posts and its been tempting me to make another swing at some deep world building

(I've since this project made a significantly more generalized version of this lifecycle for use in other contexts, and ive fleshed out an unrelated magic system that explores similar themes of fertility and pregnancy)

[mama-honeydew]

Here to start this!!

ive been posting little doodles to my bluesky

and im going to be posting the accompanying little lore chart here-!! :D

so heres Doodle day 013, chart update 001

I imagine the church as a "fertility church", as fairies in my world have much easier time with pregnancy, and child rearing-

theyre much more r-selected than humans are-

so now i have to consider... what actual church practices are there? is it an ancestor worship type deal? is it more of an orgy/sex cult type thing? idk! id love to hear thoughts.

otherwise i imagine caiman judge is having a secret affair- and that judges are meant to be celibate to avoid bribery (as sex is a common exchange medium among fairies)

little biology explanation of the fairies;

[mad about world building]

im worldbuilding for a d&d campaign and theres so many races and factions and monsters and yada yada yada

me, personally, i have a fondness for simple toys-

i dont like all this bs- im a minimalist designer at heart and all this nonsense is slowly going to kill me-

[mama-honeydew]

im re-drawing the races in a much smaller simplified style (you probably cant directly tell from the art, but the pens are the next 2 smallest sizes)

im specifically drawing them smaller so they take less time to draw-! (also so i can fit more of them on 1 page and more easily do size comparisons-)

hope ya'll enjoy!

[mama-honeydew]

please enjoy this custom D&D character sheet layout im using in my game :D

ive arranged it so its more helpful for my roleplay heavy game (notice Armor Class and Hit Points are less important, and "attacks" isnt actually directly listed-)

i also made a modified version for my paladin player, where the spells were shrunk and moved down, and his class abilities were moved to where the spells start on this druid character sheet-!

(because class abilities will be much more useful than the spells for his daily life)

[mama-honeydew]

More D&D!! i drew this kobold!!

apparently my roots in drawing animals are goin strong- because the original design looked like THIS 💀

Aardvark lookin creature-

inspired by This Post ive decided to mix the old d&d dog-men depiction, and the modern d&d lizard-men designs-

specifically ive decided to take the two main d&d dragon types (metalic and chromatic dragons) and make them dog like and lizard like respectively

basing the metallic dragons off of the "dog + snake" look many depictions of chinese dragons have

and basing chromatic dragons off the "lizard + bat" look many european dragons have-

and then making "dragonkin" (most other dragon-like species) a mix of both these options-!

more d&d !! mountain dwarf this time-

session 0 is on wednesday !! wish me luck! (im the dm💀)

IF YOUR LADY DWARVES AINT GOT BEARDS OR AT LEAST SOME KIND OF FACE HAIR YOU DOIN IT WRONG😤

[mama-honeydew]

working on some fun lore for a D&D game im planning on running!

this is a hill dwarf woman along with the guide on writing/speaking hill dwarf

for this, i am not making full languages- im making what i call "100 types of piglatin"

so each "language" is a small blurb of text on how to modify english

(which is considered to be "common", because all my players speak english)

in this case, hill dwarves are the much more open-air sociable cousins to the mountain dwarves in my setting- and thus hill dwarves bump into halflings a lot-

so their writing system has changed to be an easier adaptation of halfling, while maintaining a lot of elements of their dwarvish grammar- like a lack of vowels and lack of starting vowels in words.

these have both been effected by their contact with halflings however, as true dwarvish even changes words like "of" and "or" and "im" to be "fo" "ro" and "mi" and has as few vowels as possible-

hill dwarf for halfling is "hefling"

while true (mountain) dwarf for halfling would be "huflng"

and in halfling it would be "hafwin"

Im a cancer/leo cusp, but im on the cancer side of the cusp, so cat-paw-crab-claw lady it is!!
