So Iāve been in a very fantasy time in my life (hehehe) so I had to draw the children in a Frieren-Fire Emblem inspired outfits! (All the Dimitri edits on TikTok did not help iykyk) I also have fomo for the new fe game coming out but I cannot justify a switch 2 sadly :ā)
I present to you, the āæBlossom Partyāæ!
āæ Our Pegasus knight, Valeria - skilled with the lance and bow. She has been with her trusty Pegasus, Notte, since childhood, and the two of them are unmatched when it comes to speed and dexterity āæ
āæ Next we have our wyvern rider / lord Hiroki! Heās a master of axes and swords, but loves to experiment with a variety of different weapons. He and his wyvern, Sora no Mizuchi (Sora for short), are a powerhouse on the field āæ
āæ We have our bard (though his official classification is trickster), Archie! Heās not bad at playing his flute but he truly shines when it comes to nefarious activities like picking locks, opening treasure boxes, and speedily retreating. His weapons of choice are daggers and swords āæ
āæ Finally, we have our mage, Nila! She controls a mix of both light and dark magic, with her favorite being Luna. She has incredibly high defense stats and can remotely provide cover and support to her teammates. She may be small but she is mighty āæ
That saidā¦ I know I yapped a lot but also wrote a little š¤š if youāre interested, more under the cut!

Nila sighed. Heavy and deliberate. For the life of her, she could not understand why she was still here. It had been six months and four days since she had joined her party - against her will, she might add - and it had been impossible for her to leave. Every time she came up with an excuse, she was dragged to yet another town on another adventure.
But that was besides the point. Did they even need her?
Nila glanced up from her drink, a sweet mulled wine that seemed to make her headache even worse, to the three misfits she was bound to. Valeria and Hiroki sat beside each other, animatedly gesturing their hands as they excitedly chatted about their latest weapon upgrades.
These two were monsters in their own right. As a former Pegasus knight and a Wyvern Lord, they dominated the skies and had no problem plowing through the hordes of enemies the group had faced. Their strength always held Nila in awe, though she would never admit it. Every raid, the two of them would charge ahead and basically wipe out the monsters while Nila and her other companion leisurely caught up. Not that Nila fervently seeked the thrill of battle - definitely not, she was a pacifist after all. But after not doing anything for the last twenty four raids, this routine got boring very quickly. She too wanted to test the newer spells she learned!
āWhat are you thinking about, Miss Little Witch?ā
Nila groaned and turned to her other companion Archie. Blonde, freckled, and annoying, the self proclaimed bard was now happily staring at her with his face resting in both his hands propped up on the table. Nila felt her blood pressure rise.
āDonāt call me that, bard.ā Archie pouted playfully in response and sighed dramatically before sipping some of his (disgusting) mead.
āYouāre breaking my heart, darling,ā he moaned, clutching his chest like he had a heart. Nila narrowed her eyes and frowned in response.
Nila grumbled as she thought of how her master had volunteered her to join this party six months and four days ago, how she had promised that she would have an adventure of a lifetime, experiment with as many potions as she wanted, and collect her grimoires in peace, just to become a full time babysitter for two filers and a bard who liked to pick locks. She had to figure out a leash spell or something so they didnāt impulsively run into trouble at the most unopportune time.
āNila!ā The mage looked up to her three companions holding out their drinks. She cocked her eyebrow up questioningly.
Valeria giggled before continuing, āto our beautiful mage and leader, Nila! Who always makes sure we are well prepared and taken good care of. What would we do without you!ā
āHear ye!ā Hiroki joined, clicking his glass against Valeriaās.
āHear ye!ā Archie followed.
The three looked at Nila expectantly. She looked back at them with eyes wide in surprise. Their grins widened and they leaned closer towards her, with their drinks still held high. Despite all her complaints, Nila couldnāt help but smile. As much as she didnāt want to admit it, she enjoyed their company over the past six months and four days. They had formed a close bond after traveling across the country and fought their way through countless dungeons. Sure, they could be a little eccentric and irresponsible, but they were always there for her when it mattered. Somehow, Nila had grown to trust them, perhaps even consider them her friends.
āHear ye,ā she said with a small smile before clinking her glass with the others.
āHear ye!ā They bellowed back at her and lauded.
āAnd to our next adventure!ā Hiroki continued, āweāre going to usurp the demon king!ā They cheered.
Nilaās laughter stopped as the words finally registered.
Hey y'all! I finally got around to starting my tutorials and this has been a long time coming. My apologies for it taking forever, but please enjoy!
Today I'll be showing my method of how I do day lighting since we all know the lighting in HL can be cheeks sometimes. In order to do this, you must first have the Otis_Inf camera mod that you can find on his patreon. This won't work without it.
Tagging: @amethystandemma & @sage-pages who I know I've tried to explain this rather poorly to in the past LOL.
Step One: Change the weather to clear
Skipping this step could result in clouds blocking proper lighting and the potential of you getting rained on and unable to get the rain spots out of the clothes, ruining your photos. It's a good habit to get in while taking outside shots.
Step Two: Change the time of day
You don't have to adjust it to exactly where I put it, but mess around with it to get your wanted daylight. It depends on your location and where you are standing.
Step Three: Optional (Somewhat) Post processing
You can mess around with the White Balance to make your photos warmer/colder, for daylight shots I prefer warm. Auto Exposure just makes the screen brighter, so if you were in daylight that was not as bright as the photo, you can somewhat fake the amount of brightness that's actually outside. I just have it a smidge up in this photo. And turning off the Vignette just looks better for bright photos.
Step Four: Turn on the Spotlight
Can't have a lighting tutorial without it.
Step Five: Crank up Intensity
Sometimes both don't need to be all the way up, but in this instance and most, they need to be otherwise the light WILL NOT show up. The outside brightness is brighter than the default spotlight setting so you will need to turn it up.
Step Six: Edit your spotlight
Turn off the shadows, as it kind of defeats the purpose of this tutorial & change your channel lighting from channel 0 to channel 1. This allows the lighting to be more direct on your MC's face.
Step Seven: Attach your light to the camera
You can do this by clicking that little camera icon that the arrow is coming from that I totally forgot to circle. Make sure your camera is on when you do this so you don't accidentally control your mc instead of the camera. Then, position the light directly on your MC's face as needed.
If you would like more of these spotlights, simply hit the copy button that's right next to the camera button and also move those to the MC's face as needed.
Before & After:
In different lighting: (With auto exposure off. In this lighting, the surrounding is too dark and with the setting I had it on, the auto exposure will turn the screen white. Though you can adjust it to make it work if needed)
Thank you for reading! Please reblog if you think others would like to see this. Thanks for the support and I love you all so much! <3
I found the cutest picrew!!! I absolutely adore it!!
Hence why I made 3!! š¤. This one is really unique because it actually has the Hogwarts robes!! But anyways! I made a regular one, winter, and then summer! Make as little or as many as you like!!

Thank you for the tag, @willowwhisk ā£ļøā£ļø Happy to be included in this cute picrew chain!
I made Sebwyn (Sebastian x Gwyn) and Jarwyn (@jarvissaywhat's Jarvis x Gwyn) bc they're rotting my brain a little more than usual lately. I wanted to make Jeddy (Jarvis x Teddy) as well but I can't make the avatar to look like him at all šš
Aesthetics - Teddyās aesthetic is a mix of wealthy CEO and dark academia as it gives off the facade of being respectable and learned, something he actively tries to be for his own selfish agendas
Colour - His pink hair is a big part of his characterisation bc his mother has the same head of pink hair. A spitting image of his father, the pink hair is the only resemblance he has with her, and he holds onto that fact dearly bc of his strained relationship with his absent father
Movie - The first movie that came to mind bc of the main characterās schemes to charm their way into becoming someone theyāre not
Animal - A bit self explanatory. Theodore - Teddy - Teddy bear. Unlike other bears, however, the image of a polar bear alone in the vast expanse of the north pole snow feels like the true him somehow
Inspired by -
YEVGENY āZHENYAā BOGDANOV
Specifically the first season of Codename: Anastasiaās webtoon version where Zhenya somehow outsmarts the MC at every turn. He has this mysterious charm about him where it seems like heās hiding something, but you just canāt confirm it
SUOCHENG (BLUE GUY)
Definitely more extraverted and more engaging than Suocheng, but still hides a lot of aspects of himself just like Suocheng. In the webtoon, I interpreted Suocheng as having a complex relationship with his mother based on what little crumbs we have of his backstory, and that definitely seeped into Teddyās backstory a bit
IVAN
Just like Ivan, Teddyās an observant guy who picks up little social cues here and there from his surroundings and uses them to put on an image thatās palatable, even sometimes attractive, to everyone
MIZUKI KAWANO
Once again with the wearing a mask to hide his true agendas, just like Mizuki. And similar to Mizuki, he would soon find himself at a crossroad when he begins to feel attachment towards the buddies he pretends to befriend. I also think Mizukiās voice is very fitting for him. The amount of charm and sass is just perfect
Songs -
HOZIER - TOO SWEET
Terrified of commitment and only using people for his own selfish goals, especially the naive ones, the line of āYouāre too sweet for meā definitely speaks to his attitude towards those whose feelings and emotions he takes advantage of
LEAGUE OF LEGENDS - RISE
Teddy can be a bit stubborn about his own goals of tracking down his wizard father, and the song speaks to his dogged desire of āchasing his fatherā and āproving himself to his fatherā
NEWJEANS - GODS
āIām on my knees praying for glory. Anyone read this underdog story?ā
Teddy started off as a (perceived) squib with no magical ability and no idea how to make contact with the magical world, and heās desperate to prove his father wrong for abandoning him
COLDPLAY - VIVA LA VIDA
Itās always been on my mind that I want Teddy to fly too close to the sun one day and Viva La Vida perfectly encapsulates his fall from grace that Iāve always imagined
Thanks for the tag, Ruby!!
I've been listening to "Heavy" by the MarĆas a lot lately. It's also the song I heavily associate with Liezel (and I might even consider it to be her sort of "theme" song)
NPT: @syrooo, @colettening, @catohphm, @amus2110, @le-rryder, @espressoristretto-patronum, @violetmcdowelliscool, @sallowsoul, @elkingwriter, @charliehlblog, @4t33n4g3d1rtb4gbby, @pierrot-dokki, @ravenothere, @light-of-the-room, @rvchelking, @willowwhisk, and anybody else I didn't tag!
Perfect timing on this one bc a conversation prompted me to revisit decade old Vocaloid songs recently and Iāve been looping Lukaās Just Be Friends for at least 50 times now
Itās still such a banger even more than ten years later. And itās such a cheery tune for a song with such a depressing meaning
NPT: @honeyed-blossom @colettening @stein0806 @jarvissaywhat @idrewastar @cgway17 @le-rryder @sage-pages and YOU š«µ
Completed 5/6 of my raffle art and I'm at the last stretch!! I'm soooo excited to finish it bc just the thought of the raffle winners seeing their OCs has got me all giddy and giggly

Iām making Teddy despise any classes that involves reading the future. Divinationā¦ Arithmancyā¦ Astronomy. He thinks itās rubbish to define something that has yet to come.
There is no way that Gwynevere is not at least a little haughty with her upbringing. Using regular spoons and not dessert spoons for desserts? Unthinkable
