new year energy

January 11, 2024 z.m. celestaire  Art!, Original Characters, The Gryphon's Solace  Leave a comment

The last time I felt this positively about the new year was in 2020 which turned out to be the worst year in American history in my lifetime. So at the risk of jinxing it, it feels like Team Glasses has put a lot of bad shit and stress behind us and we’re enjoying our […]

holidays 2023

December 18, 2023December 20, 2023 z.m. celestaire  Art!, Holiday Drawings, MicahxAndrew, Original Characters, The Heartwood Trilogy  Leave a comment

Kind of like with the Emotia drawings, I’m going to start this as a Christmas master post. I think I’m going to add a few finishing touches for this but there’s something freeing about posting on my blog where I know nobody will see it. It’s been a pretty “curated” art year for me which […]

Better character designs

December 2, 2023 z.m. celestaire  Art!, The Gryphon's Solace  Leave a comment

I have been complaining about un-M/Aing their character design for weeks but I think I’ve mostly done it! Nico took a bit more work after this but I think I got him there. I did a REALLY GOOD first kiss drawing of them though at least in terms of the color Next I want to […]

THIRTEEN YEARS AGO I guess I had just started Sun-Walking, so I guess even without participating in NaNoWriMo (recently exposed as harboring a moderator who was grooming teen writers so I’m fucking out), November has always been a productive writing month. I’m 40,000 words 55,000 words! into my latest project which is a huge departure […]

Well, I survived the preorder week of hell and GOT MY PERIOD TODAY which would explain why I was so wretchedly anxious and sad beforehand so that SUCKS. But now I’m not, even though I had a dastardly day of pitching because I let my dad talk me into trying at Uncle Hugo’s, even though […]

Tarot Deck

God I’ve been woefully neglecting this blog because of all the work it is marketing for the book. I keep thinking about it, but talking about my creative work is kind of a chore right now, which makes it feel strange doing it for pleasure. I’m down to the last few weeks before release though. […]

The Auburn Knight

Apparently my class was inspiring to me. The first three days this week I worked on this on the projector during Super Stories and I honestly love how it turned out. The color palette is so autumnal and soothing. And the fox turned out hella cute. So did Andrew’s billowy shirt. I’m not crazy about […]

Preparation

My eyes are bleeding from working for so long on the illustrations for Deny Me and I’m over it. So today I took a breather (well, not really, I was just ALSO doing this) and made this per my editor’s behest. She’s my green-skinned baby. Here’s some old Lucienne for comparison. She’s always been a […]

Ryan started clanging Fae-themed puns at dinner yesterday, so I made a drunk Andrew thing.
