I have to thank @ace--of--swords for this dreamy moment of Kipling and Asra. This is exactly how I imagined them snuggled up with their books.

I'm really happy with how they turned out. 💞💞 Thanks again!

Oh lover, when you look at me It hits me just like a summer breeze My heart Hold me close and underneath the moonlight melody Darling, dance with me 'Cause my heart is yours

“A friend of mine once told me that opening Doors is supposed to be fun. The most important part about what we do. The only part that matters.” The steady breath of the Doors caused the tethers trailing from Kipling’s hair to dance. “For me, it finally is.” And dance they did. For they had a mind of their own. “The friend who first told me these things, the one who made me believe…” The Door Lord crouched low on her perch, her wild tethers spilling throughout the space, snapping in the wind like a sentient halo. “Ozy, that was you.” ~ Kipling Bronne, The Sun

Once again at a loss for words over another incredible piece by @hirodraga featuring my oc Kip as a fully fledged Door Lord! 🌊🤪 This moment has been with me for a very long time and I'm so happy that I get to relive it over and over through this artwork. EVERYTHING IS GIVING ME CHILLS. Hiro made magic happen with all of the concepts I threw at them and I have no words. So so so happy with the final product! 😭💖 OBRIGADA!!

I cannot stop smiling over this absolutely wonderful piece by @missrabbitart 💞 Thank you so much for capturing Kip and Muriel's weekly garden visits! I just adore the idea of them looking forward to seeing each other, exchanging eggs, herbs and the stories they saved up for the occasion. The sunlight in this is so warm and their expressions are so bright and heartwarming.

Once again, I'm very happy I got to commission this artist! She's amazing and so sweet to work with. Please go commission her if you can!

Kipasra + Ozadia = Door Lords In Love 💖🌺🐚💖

I have the wonderful @missrabbitart to thank for these incredible pieces. I'm smitten by the way Asra and Kipling are looking into each other’s eyes. And I can't get over the feeling of a fresh romance between Ozy and Nadia. Thank you so much for bringing these ships to life! 💖💖💖

Now please excuse me while I stare at the four of them forever!

🌺💖 I've always wanted a summer tale art piece for Kipasra and I honestly couldn't be happier with how this turned out. Seeing Asra and Kip all snuggled up by the sea with coconuts and hibiscuses will never stop bringing me joy. AAAAGHGHGH! I love them so freakin' much!!! 🌺💖

I have the very lovely @ paula_theapprentice over on IG to thank for this. She was so sweet and fun to work with. She does gorgeous personalized and wedding charms for anyone interested!

“Pudding’s almost done." Asra looks back at Kipling. "Want to give it a taste?”

“Mmm. In a minute,” Kip sighs, snuggling more against him. Asra’s gaze softens the longer he studies the gardener. The crystals scattered about the room throw shards of light that dance across her features.

For a moment, Asra forgets about everything else and only tries to remember... had Kip looked so serene, so sweet as this the last time he saw her bathed in the sunlight of Nopal?

Words literally cannot describe everything this piece has me feeling right now. I've been meaning to capture this scene from the game, but this piece went so above and beyond my expectations. I can't stop staring at them and I don't think I ever will!

Keebs @pxkibu was such a joy to work with. Thank you so much for bringing Kip and Asra to life.💖 Please check her out of you're looking for an artist to commission! She was so accommodating and awesome throughout the whole process.

"One thing you can count on is that hearts change." - Diana Wynne Jones, Howl's Moving Castle

Hayao Miyazaki's Howl Pendragon is one of my favorite inspirations for Asra's design. The film and the novel have held a special place in my heart for a long time. 😌 So naturally, if Kip and Asra ever went trick-or-treating, they would go as Sophie and Howl.

Ouiser @apprentice-vissenta/@ouiserarts thank you so much for bringing this very sweet moment from the film to life! Kipasra looks so free and ready to start on a new adventure together 💖

In case you've been living under a rock, Ouiser has been blessing us with fun and incredible art and y'all should definitely commission them if you can!
