"Fetch the cartographer," a royal woman fidgeting with her tiara ordered. Waving to guards of varying ranks.
And so the cartographer arrived. Freshly dressed and hair combed back. Cologne perfuming the air in sandalwood.
"It is an honor, your highness!" They chirp, blushing happily.
"I am commissioning you to make a map of our newest territory, try not to make me regret it." She hissed, almost sneering. Ignoring the cartographer's quick change of face.
"If I offended -" They apologize, but the hand that comes up decides the conversation for them.
"Off you go, you have three nights of travel ahead. If the weather is favorable."
So the cartographer is here.
At the overnight camp.
Weather bitter, wind nipping at the apples of cheeks peeking out from a taunt face.
Hours blurred to days that became weeks. Months had passed.
Now, the cartographer stood in the center of the map, watching a series of roads appear around them.
They'd been mapping the bridges and deep waters underneath when the map began to shimmer.
This new territory must have had a reason for being unoccupied...
"A letter, sir." A merely solder announces before laying the paper on the table. Breaking them from their stupor.
With deft fingers, the cartographer opened the royal's letter. Swiftly reading simple sentences and paragraphs.
'It's been 12 years.' The cartographer realized, dropping the letter and whirling around to the map.
Finding it not only complete but stretched out as if to fill the frame it would be put in.
Strange landmarks and settlements akin to castles on mountains doting the paper.
Author's note: I was so excited to write a phycological whump piece 😄
I hope my work will be more famous but now I show you my new sketch. This's little postcard on supernatural. I realy try to do this drawing cute, so I hope you'll appreciate it:)
I usually post on season finale days but I thought why not switch it up and post on a season premiere day instead!
Currently Sascha is the only LI from Wicked Lawless Love that I’ve made, as it was per a request, so I did not have much plans for how I wanted to make the WLL characters, but I just thought I’d try my hand at trying to make the full-bodied, detailed design like I have for the Reigning Passions characters because the WLL character designs are also super complex! And I knew I wanted to make them in their supernatural form, because that’s the fun part about the story!
Super pleased with how he turned out- I knew I still wanted to try and make the gold trim out of clay instead of paint so it’s not totally accurate (since some parts were way too small for me to make) but I’m glad I was able to make it out of clay! And I like how his hair turned out, even if it’s a bit different from what it actually looks like- I tried to recreate that ombre-color he’s sporting with a new technique I was trying out. It worked out ok, but I’d like to try something different next time I make ombre hair and see if it turns out better!
Trial and error friends- that’s the way to go sometimes!
