I finally made a non-art blog so I can interact like a normal person instead of just lurking

My side blog/ non art blog is @starslikethesea

[peasant-player]

I need to show off my cute little papercraft varda from @southaway but the weather is shit and the beautiful gold foil tried to blind everyone when I used the flash ;-;

So I made a little video!

She is beautiful right?! Many many thanks to southaway who has a heart of gold and gifted me this. I hope we are friends forever ✨️

[southaway]

She was very fun to work on! I'll always be happy to make art for you, Peasant! Friends forever

[southaway]

A commission of Vidumavi

I just finished a reread of Unfinished Tales, so I was very excited to have the opportunity to draw her for @from-the-coffee-shop-in-edoras! Iove your idea for the fern frond tattoos!

[babybat98]

Omg I love him😭💚

The most adorable little Galion from @southaway finnaly found his way over here! Thank you so much for this event, he will be cherished for many long years to come.

[southaway]

There he is! I'm glad he made it to you safely! I loved working with your design for Galion! It's such a great design!

[southaway]

A commission for @nerdylizard5 of her OC Evandiel (and Iarril)

I really enjoyed getting to work with such a beautiful character design!

Thank you for commissioning me!

Going to claim these guys as my birthday art this year!

Here are all of the little guys that have reached their destination so far and have already been posted

They are, in order: Háma, Námo, Celebrían, Maeglin, Hiswiel ( @tar-thelien 's OC), Maglor, and Elwing

I genuinely appreciate everyone who took part in this. It was incredibly fun to make and be able to physically give art to people!

I think I might do this again in the future!

I will post the rest once they get safely to their homes

Happy birthday to @southaway !!!

Here´s a Carmëlor for you as a present, enjoying the summer - I tried to make him as close to your design as possible, but I don´t have all the amazing patterns you have, nonetheless, I hope you like him!

[southaway]

I love him, he's perfect! Thank you so much, Thelien, you're amazing!!! What an incredible way to start my birthday! I'm so lucky to have been able to see him drawn by you twice now!

I'm going to have to draw him in that outfit now! It's such a good fit for him. I wish I was better at words so I could go on properly about how much I love him, I keep on scrolling back up to look at him. I'm so lucky to have you as a mutual!

[tar-thelien]

Just got my papercraft Hiswiel from @southaway!!!!

Thank you so so so so much!! She is stunning and I love the little doodle you included! All the details are amazing!! And her small smile is everything!! I love her so much <3

I will enjoy my little guy, take care of her, and place her on my desk right by my microphone so I can look at her all the time!

Thank you very very much <3<3<3

[southaway]

Another little guy! It was such a pleasure to work on Hiswiel, I love doing details with papercraft. An amazing character design as always Thelien, she was so much fun to recreate in paper

It has been like three weeks, and I'm still thinking about the yearly review I got at work. I'm going to preface this by saying it was a very good review. I got the highest rating you can possibly get (which I had been told before they didn't give out). But, like, at the end of the review, my supervisor was going over things I could improve. Like, more small talk with patients. I am "too professional" sometimes, apparently. And she just looks me in the face on the clock and says, "You know, it took me a couple of years to figure out you had a good personality."

Ma'am, what the fuck do I do with that?

[southaway]

Thank you for @peasant-player , @goldenatreides, and @slashmarks for tagging me to share a WIP!

I realized the last time I really posted art was back in May!

I have been making art! I swear! Just for TRSB (can't post yet), Scribbles & Drabbles (can't post yet), commissions (won't post until they're done with commissioner's permission), and papercraft guys

Uh, I'm starting on a request soon

I still exist, I promise!

As an apology for having nothing to share, may I offer my cat Oz *experiencing*

I think most people I know have been tagged already?

[southaway]

All of the little papercraft guys I sent out in the US have safely found their homes! I think people in Europe should be able to expect theirs either this week or next!

[mag-lore]

Huge thank you to @southaway for my paper craft Maeglin!!!

He is absolutely adorable, and the level of detail is incredible!!!!

[southaway]

There he is! I loved getting to work with your design, it was really fun to work with!

[amorbidcorvid]

Celebrían my beloved!

Many, many thanks to @southaway for gifting me a papercraft portrait of one of my favorites 😍

Look at her! She's so cute and perfect!

[southaway]

I'm glad you like her! I love having more opportunities to create art of Celebrìan!

[jaybirdsdelight]

My little papercraft Maglor from @southaway finally arrived!!! He actually arrived a couple days ago but I've been a bit busy with work

Thank you so much again!!! He looks so pretty in person and I love all the different papers you chose and the little gems for his jewelery!

He's got a great spot on my bookshelf in my room :3

Southaway also has their digital commissions open and you should absolutely check those out!!!!

[southaway]

I'm glad he got there safely! I really enjoyed working on him!

[starsofarda]

@southaway my little papercraft guy just arrived!!!

Namo is so beautiful, and lovely, and I love all the little details, and the little beads, and I love his expression so much!

He's beautiful!

I am going to cherish him a lot, thank you so much for doing this!

[southaway]

I'm glad you like him! I loved working on your wonderful design for him!

[notbynary]

a beautiful papercraft Elwing made by @southaway !!

i absolutely love how she turned out, the gold details and the paper textures are beautiful. she is currently sitting on my bookshelf

thank you again southaway for your incredible work!!

[southaway]

Another little guy arrived safely! Thank you for the chance to make art of one of my favorite characters!

And to do wings, I genuinely love doing wings

[from-the-coffee-shop-in-edoras]

HE’S HERE!!! The *incredibly* talented and generous @southaway made me a PAPERCRAFT HÁMA!!! And he is PERFECTION!

I wish my photography skills were better so that you could all appreciate him in the absolute fullness of his glory — the details, the textures, all the little intricate cuts, the cool patterns! And the expression on his face is so put-upon Háma!

There is a little shelf by the door of my office, and I am going to set him there in a place of honor to be my own personal doorward and remind me of the strength of my fellow public servants who are just trying to do their damn jobs in a government gone mad.

MASSIVE and FOREVER thank you to southaway, who is currently offering commissions for other lovely art that you should all check out! ♥️♥️♥️♥️

[southaway]

One of my little guys! I think he went to a perfect home! I loved getting the opportunity to make a papercraft Háma, the armor was so fun to do!

Thanks for being so cool to work with! May he be a worthy doorward for your noble task
