Taryn & The Ghost

Book: The Cruel Prince series

Author: Holly Black

I'M SO PROUD OF THIS ONE! I know it isn't as gorgeous as the other artists' but I'm happy with my learning process.

Besides, how comes that almost anyone draws them? I've just seen ONE fanart of them in my entire life.

God, I love this. Jude, Cardan and Locke? *chef’s kiss* I’m in awe. The Cruel Prince cover is definitely my favourite by @clarywhen (Twitter).

No closeups 😔

A Faerie New Year

//Warning, this does contain all book spoilers

Here’s a little new years thing for you lovely people.

“It’s 11:58,” Cardan looked to his wife with a smile. 

“Indeed, are you excited?” Jude smiled, watching the countdown on Heather’s TV. Another holiday Cardan was invested in that the mortal world dabbles in, New Years. Again, the family came to Heather’s and Vivienne’s to celebrate. Larkin and Taryn came with Lysander, who immediately began playing with Oak. Cardan and Jude came with their twins. 

Earlier, not too many moments ago, Larkin and Heather dragged Cardan away from his wife for a few. When the three returned with smirks, and when it comes to Cardan and smirks, nothing means good news. 

“What did you do?” Jude arched a brow to her husband, who denied he did anything bad. 

“Mom! It’s almost midnight!” Eva bounced up and down, her tail batting left and right until it hit Cardan’s and she giggled at the ticklish feeling.  Jude grinned at her daughter and husband, looking around for her nephew, brother and son. Eva was the only one not passed out on the couch. 

Oak and Lysander were tangled in one another, and Tamani was sleeping upside down, drooling. “They look like brothers.”

“Well, Taryn. Since they’re all related.” Jude laughed a little, Taryn rolling her eyes at her twin. Cardan’s arm wrapped around Jude with a kiss to her temple, sharing a look with Larkin and Heather.

“Not what I meant.” Taryn took a sip of her club soda, noticing the three. “Okay what is your guys’ deal?!” 

“Exactly. Something is up with you three.” Jude looked at her husband. “You better tell me right now.” Cardan shrugged when they all heard  the countdown start from ten. 

“We can in ten seconds.”

“Oh God they’re gonna kill us at midnight.” Vivi took a larger sip of her alcoholic drink Jude could never remember the name of. Jude began to try and think about what it was, a confused face saying it all. “Pornstar, Jude.” 

“Thank you,” the sister chuckled as Cardan grabbed Jude by the hips and pulled her closer. “Well hello there.” Jude looked at the TV, noticing they had three seconds left. Just enough time for Cardan to guide Jude’s chin to him and press his lips to hers just as the crowd screamed Happy New Year. 

Jude has kissed Cardan many, many times. Yet this one felt different. It felt like their kiss on Christmas, soft, delicate. Like Cardan was grateful for spending this time with someone he loved. There was no eagerness inside, no hunger. It was just Jude amd Cardan, Cardan holding Jude as if she’ll break if he held her too tight, lips delicate against hers. 

“I love you,” Cardan murmured after they finished their longing kiss.

“I did you know about that?” Jude asked, looking around now noticing Heather pinning Vivienne between her and the counter, lips merely apart. She then noticed Larkin hugging Taryn, the girl biting her lip and internally freaking out. “You assholes.” Jude laughed a little, Heather shrugging.

“Listen, you guys wanted the full mortal experience. So I explained the New Year's kiss.” The girl explained. 

When Jude looked back to her husband, she saw nothing but love as she kissed him again. “I cannot wait to spend yet another year with my Queen by my side.” Cardan smiled into the kiss as he just held her. 

“I love you too, my King.” Jude buried her face into Cardan’s neck, hearing her daughter now snoring against the chair.

Jude and Taryn

Okay, this is quick but I keep seeing art of Jude and Taryn where they are too beautiful. These girls stick out from the fey because they are curvier, less willow-y. Still beautiful, obviously, to catch the attention of the court. But their hair is unkempt, their eyebrows imperfect. They have lines under their eyes. They don’t have perfectly sculpted faces. They are human. Beautifully human. 

Jude and Taryn are alike and can pass as the other but there are a lot of differences. I picture Jude has a more hardened look, more worried, more unkempt. And Taryn is more put together, blends easier in with her makeup and upkeep. Her hair is slightly more in place.

Again, this was quick... >30 mins. I’d like to spend more time exploring their characters’ looks.
