Hanamaki: *hysterical wheezing* Matsukawa: He knows it's infertile, right? Iwaizumi: If it makes him happy...

Update for this ~ They are having an egg 🥚🐉

In this AU, all dragon genders can lay eggs—it's just something that happens when they start building a nest with a trusted partner. Young dragons lay 4-6 infertile eggs before they have the process figured out and can make eggs that actually hatch something. "Test eggs" are very potent ingredients for potions and also a delicacy—Iwaizumi, Matsukawa and Hanamaki want to make an omelet, Oikawa wants to be extra and show it off to everyone.

Oikawa: This is my boyfriend Iwa-Chan, he is very tiny, cute and soft. Iwa: ...

The "draw concept art for your stories to cover up the fact you aren't writing them"-disease has reached my Urban Fantasy University AU. So have some dragon-shifter Iwaizumi and undead Oikawa 🐉🫀

Still struggling to find a good format for my art summary, I hope I can come up with something more efficient next year.

This year felt so gawd damn long and my creative process was super weird with many, sudden bursts of motivation and then long, long droughts and months where I just barely managed to get any art done at all (no comparison to my absolute writing block though—big oof on that front! Maybe I'll try a writing summary next year to see if that motivates me to make something every month).

Thank you all still for putting up with me again this year ~ you can find all individual pieces and some more in my art tag #charleedraws if you are interested ✨

Leave my crown on the branch to the east, where the last ray of light shines at high noon; rest my sword behind the two rocks, where the moss grows green and soft. And I will always be there to guide you, among the souls of our forefathers, in this Sanctum of Kings, Temple of Death.

-> ATKB Masterpost

(Small spoilers ahead in case anyone is actually reading this AU and cares)

Crows burn the bodies of their dead to free the souls from attachments as far as possible and allow them to pass beyond the veil more easily.

Kings and Queens however are oath-bound to the land upon coronation and once they die, their crowns and blades are brought to a sacred cavern beneath the highest hill, in order to bind their souls there so that they may be called upon and provide wisdom and advise to their successors.

Nobody who is not a crowned royal is allowed to enter to sanctum and nobody who has entered is allowed to ever speak about it with anyone who hasn't.

In the night after a coronation the older/ruling kings/queens show their chosen successor to the sanctum and decide where they want them to hang their crown/place their blade once the day comes. In order to complete their anointment, a newly crowned ruler must submerge in the waters—this will bind their soul to the land for eternity. This is why becoming a king/queen of Karasuno is binding for life and can not be reversed.

The cavern also has a much older purpose: It serves as temple and resting place to the Angel of Death, whenever they aren't inhabiting a vessel (which they current are -hint hint-). The Angel, who embodies the concept of death, is worshipped by many although barely anyone knows what the being really is and that is is far less omnipotent than commonly believed.

We have ONE WEEK left of pre-orders 🔥✨

'sup, suckers!? *lights blowtorch* The Volleyball Club sends its regards ~

(Forgive me for my sins >.< Anyway I needed to practice drawing humans a bit & get starting on my TropeFest Bingo, so have some genderbend MatsuHana ~ Can you tell that I haven’t done proper art in over 2 months and was too lazy to do anything but the bare minimum >.>? Baby steps... baby steps)

Finally finished some art that I started mid February—was originally intended to be an attempt at more realistic hair but while this was collecting dust I got a rather radical cut, rendering this kinda obsolete, so now it's just a shading and bit of a design experiment)

Character Charlotte belongs to me & Art made by me! Don't use, trace, copy of heavily infringe!

Then his fellow kings and him enter the room Hajime has dreaded for months. He doesn’t really know what he expected. Maybe a torture chamber with a thousand eyes painted onto the walls and the constant, hellish echo of people laughing at him, but the council chamber is just another, circular room, decorated with noble curtains and golden trinkets. ~ All the King‘s Blades, Chapter 2 - Challenge

Art and design made by me!!! Do not trace, copy, steal or heavily infringe!

Okay so I had this version almost finished, before trying to find the text passage in my draft for Chapter 2 where I described the room and noticed the fu*king “noble curtains” and because I am weak spirited, I just made 2 versions (please punch me). Anyways I swear I am working on actually writing the damn thing but AKJSDBCNALVNCF have I mentioned that I am WEAK!?

Art Trade with @corginauttmblr

(Character Meij belongs to them, Art made by me)

So a couple weeks ago I decided to design myself a carpet/shoe mat for my kitchen/entrance way (my flat only has 1 ½ rooms >.<’’) and today it arrived.

The colors didn’t quite turn out how they should (as you can see the blue of the background got rather dull, but this photo also doesn’t have the best lighting so it’s still better than it looks) but I still wanted to share this little experiment, especially because I’m considering adding that kind of pattern design to my art commissions and making myself a new phone and/or laptop case with this particular one. I also made a bunch of other variations but I‘ve only added the most „relevant“ ones here.

So anyway this was super fun, I finally have somewhere to take off my boots without messing up half my flat and I can’t wait to try around with pattern designs some more ^-^

Possible alternate form/redesign of my secondary sona leviathan!? 

Idk, just me toying with making her a bit more feral/lion-like. Apologies for the sloppy quality, I drew this to calm down after my first round of exams and my brain is nothing but mush! Click here for more (and better quality) design-scheenigans.

2020 was kind of a mediocre year!? Like I experimented a lot with textures, brushes and layer modes in shading and lighting especially and I really like what I created but it doesn’t feel like I’ve had any major break-throughs unlike the last years ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Anyway, if you are interested in my art you can either visit me on DeviantArt as CharlyLee or on the Arts&OCs Amino as Charly Lee OR you can have a peek at my art tag #charleedraws OR check out the single pieces here on Tumblr ~

January | February | March | April | May | June | July | August | September | October | November | December

And while I know that 2020 technically isn’t over yet, I have decided to quit art for now, since I have a hell of a lot of writing to finish and also exams to prepare for, so I’d still like to wish you all a merry rest of the year and let’s hope that 2021 will be a better year or at the very least less of a clusterf*ck!

Two (somewhat galaxy themed) pieces I recently did as contest prizes on the Arts&OCs Amino.

Some style/design experiment featuring my secondary sona Leviathan.

I haven’t been very happy with the original design of the upper horns recently, because I never manage to get the curve right, so I’ve decided to explore some alternative shapes - don’t know if I will make this design permanent yet, but I like it plenty for now ^-^

Art made by me, character is mine too, please don’t use, trace or heavily infringe!  You can also find my art on DeviantArt where I go by CharlyLee.
