As I was re-arranging my arts for 2020 to fit this template… I realized there were several “good” months, and then several. More than several months of emptiness. So I replaced them with overflowing creativity from the good months instead of leaving it empty~ And I’m happy with it! ✨ That’s okay. It’s been a heck of a year. It’s okay. 2021 will come. It will be another, hopeful, beginning.

I didn’t realize I only came up with Khayalan’s sprite design in January… it feels like I’ve been in love with him forever xD Thank you for always being with me - Sketchy, Agent, Lazy, for inspiring me, for encouraging me, for … everything. For… being my friend. For making life bearable, and for quality-of-life improvement tips, and self-care and puns. There’s obviously more but well. You know what I mean. xD Looking back on the art and remembering the process behind each of it… and the empty months and months… and you guys were with me, through it all. All the way through every step of 2020. Thank you for making every tomorrow a new day to look forward to.

Working on character references. Here’s a work in progress for Obayana! Clothing is the bane of my existence and I’m saving that for tomorrow

Happy Valentine’s V! Characters are @vargatheapprentice  ‘s Obayana and @agent-darkbootie ‘s Val~ I had a little idea of them cuddling together by the beach bonfire, after Val’s fire dancing~ Can you hear the fire crackling and the waves swooshing in the distance? SURPRISE!!!! IT ME!!! *evil cackling in the distance* Oh GODS you have no idea how hard it was for me to keep this a secret. I almost cracked in front of Agent, so many, many times. xD Hope you like it~! Event by @thearcanasecretcupid , thank you so much for the fun!

Doing some very fast and very lazy doodles for this ship because I can 🚢❤️

Obayana doesn’t smile much but I don’t think he’d be able to help it around Illain, a literal ball of sunshine and perfection.

The lovely Illain belongs to @lazyvoyager who’s an even bigger ball of sunshine and perfection- and one of my favorite people ever.💖💕

Why is Obayana so tall lmao I shouldn’t have made him 6’5, this is ridiculous

I saw a post about the bread guy having a dough daddy apron, so I had to draw my baker’s son in one 😂

New apprentice? New apprentice.

(Some quick, imperfect art so I could get this all down)

The standoffish apprentice with a mind full of daydreams.

Male

6’5

Obayana is the son of the baker who makes Asra’s beloved pumpkin bread. Though his father wants him to follow in his footsteps, Oba’s true passion is forging enchanted weapons and armour. He helps his father run the bakery and builds armor and weapons in his spare time, and is revered for his craftsmanship. Oba is dyslexic and excels in manual labor, and has focused on it his whole life- he is completely illiterate as no one had been able to teach him.
