"You've got shoulder fur? I can do that with leaves, Queenie! Only fair, since you copied my hair!"
HIII! Feels like it's been ages, Jelsa fam
We all know the drill, we've got busy busy lives. But I decided my first personal art of the year was going to be my Early Winter AU and now I'm finally posting it! Even in 2026 we continue to persist!
I'm still writing Barriers whenever I can, it's just taking a looot longer than I wish... And I can only wish I finish it before Frozen 3 drops and dumps more lore upon me haha
I hope everyone's having a decent January so far, and if not, I hope it gets better! 💞
I'M BACK! And I've already rambled so much in my ao3 comment so I'll keep this one short(er). Two things that I really wanted to draw were this and them flying together. Didn't have time to make multiple pieces though, so I started working on this one just to see if I could capture intimacy. Good thing too, because I could not have thought of a better outfit for Elsa than the one @cautumligth drew her with!
The lighting here is inspired by the northern lights
I'm probably like a broken record at this point but THANK YOU AGAIN SO MUCH @callimara and @therentyoupay for feeding us with this entire project!
Shipping two characters with a winter theme? I started this blog bc of Jelsa, would you expect me to say anything other than yes?
Now, putting four characters with a shared winter theme in a Dance AU? I have no idea who wanted this but my brain kept imagining them shuffling to one I'm Blue Da Ba Dee Da Ba Die remix so...
*Offers art on a plate* if you wanted some?
Adding some crossover AU thoughts under the cut:
Lucius owns a small dance studio he named Frozone. His students started calling him that for fun one day and it stuck. There are only a few kids there right now, but every single one has added a new flavor to the place:
Jackson, stage name Jack Frost, was the first kid who stumbled upon the place and just... never stopped coming back
Elsa, stage name Snow Queen, appeared one day asking to learn in secret. It took a while, but it's not much of a secret anymore
Periwinkle, stage name Frost Fairy, is the youngest kid of the group and is always dropped off by her gang of friends (calling themselves the "Winter Fairies") after school
Occasionally they would go out and perform together, and the winter theme made them very memorable. What shenanigans happen in that studio? Well, only Lucius knows that best
I LIVE!! Been busy running around irl lately so I have not WRITTEN, barely DRAWN, in the last few weeks. And unlikely to go back to doing either regularly for a while T-T My poor WIPs...
But I saw this and I just HAD TO

Why is this the most Jack-ish face I have ever drawn and why did I draw him in his human outfit? Idk I just did and it's done now
Growing up on Barbie movies made me fond of ballet and skating imagery so for as long as I've been drawing I've always included them in my references. Hm. Maybe I should revisit more of my art roots when I find free time again...
Hey so, what if I say I'm open to Jelsa sketch prompts/requests? (My asks are open if anyone wants to!) IRL stuff has mentally blocked me from drawing anything for long enough and I miss them
Also, here's a clean sketch of their Early Winter AU versions haha
I love your Jelsa sketches! If you're still taking requests maybe one of Jack trying (and maybe succeeding) to get Elsa to fly with him? I feel like she might have trust issues with that hahaha!
Thank youuu and very glad you're enjoying these, Anon <3
I swear every time I sketch them they look different, but that's what this practice is for haha. Anw here's my shot at this prompt, hope you like this one too!
There's 2 requests left in my inbox and if any more comes in (I'm leaving asks open for a while longer!) I'll probably be slower at getting to them. Gotta work on IRL stuff and also my Barriers fic wip oops
