[id: a 4 panel meme redraw. the panels are labeled "it's ok to ask for help", "you're not a burden", "murder is okay", and "your feelings matter". the panels feature drawings respectively of csevet aisava, cala and beshelar (together), csethiro ceredin, and maia drazhar]

i can't find the original post that inspired this but... i just had to draw it

For a second, between blinks, she could only see all the white; white brocade over white lace and silk, bedecked in opal and diamonds and pearls; braided into his carefully arranged hair, strung from his ears, on his neck and hands, sewn onto his clothes. He was veiled in fine white organza, and it had a sheen to it which put a hazy obscurity to the grey oval of his face— the distance and the veil kept his expression and his features tinged to the indistinct.

Despite what must have been the immense weight of his clothes and jewellery, he stepped surefootedly onto the dock, and bowed his head in thanks at the soldier, who must have been one of the nohecharei. More of the boats were sliding into dock, the other elves thronging in behind, following their emperor— but they were still in the shadows, pale faces flitting in and out of focus in torchlight, their fine jewellery and brocaded clothes winking.

i absolutely love this fic to bits and knew i would draw something for it as soon as i signed up for this event! this scene really struck me the first time i read it, and the contrast between stark details and blurry obscurity was really fun to try to render visually!

wanted to do one of these...

[id: a graphic showcasing different artworks by peredain. across the top it says 'peredain 2025 art year in review' in stylized text and each piece is labeled with a different month.

brief descriptions of each artwork:

january: text reading 'I was traveling... no art'

february: csevet aisava, a pale elven man, smiling, fully rendered, half body crop.

march: maia drazhar, a gray-skinned dark-haired half-goblin man, half-dressed and smiling sleepily. messy lineart with cell shading, bust up crop.

april: ciris drazhar, a pale elven man, shirtless and grinning flirtatiously. text reads 'don't kill yourself you' and the rest is cut off by the crop. lineart with simple color and rendering, shoulders up crop.

may: maia drazhar again, looking shy as a white-haired elf, presumably cala athmaza, kisses his forehead. cala's back is to the viewer and his face is obscured. fully rendered, close crop on maia's face.

june: csevet aisava again, this time a simplified bust with lineart and bold, vibrant flat color.

july: ciris drazhar and his brother nazhira, who is wielding a sword protectively of ciris. they are drawn in a stylized pose emphasizing nazhira's height and strength and ciris's flamboyance. lineart and cell shading, waist up crop.

august: ciris again, wearing a very ruffly shirt and flapping his hands enthuastically as he talks. lineart, no color except ciris's bright blue eyes.

september: a figure falling from the sky, their red cloak billowing out around them in the shape of wings. white lines cross the sky like an aurora. simplified flat color, mostly lineless, strict black white and red palette.

october: khana arer, a brown-skinned sheep-horned demon man in luxurious patterned fabrics. lineart and flat color, waist up crop.

november: maia drazhar's hand, small and gray with short fingers and prominent knuckles. he is wearing several rings and a bracelet in shades of silver, green, and black. sketch and simple rendering.

december: a portrait of maia, decked in silver-white jewelry. painting, close crop to maia's face.

happy belated birthday to maia drazhar ^w^

[id: a digital painting of maia drazhar, a half-elf half-goblin man with dark curly hair and gray skin. he is wearing an elaborate all-white jacket, earrings, and headdress. he is pictured from the shoulders up, looking pensively upwards as soft snow falls around him]
