![A simple line drawing of a woman in a loose-shouldered shift, stays, and a long skirt. The drawing is done in black (underthings & stays), light blue (shift), and dark blue (skirt) to show a cross-section of clothing layers.
CLOTHING
I never draw hannie’s layers correctly,
but I do know what they ideally would be.
Her clothing isn’t drawn from any single period, partly for fun, and partly because the setting she’s in is a bit of a time-period mash-up anyway.
[We don’t need to talk about the inaccuracies of Branwen’s armor (crying)]
---
DRAWERS
“Split” drawers, which have a gap in the middle for convenience.
- For boring practical bathroom purposes, not fun sexy ones. Though, why waste the opportunity?
- They should be down to her knees, but I like the short drawers (“pants”) better even though they were a much later development
---
STOCKINGS
Held up by leg garters– around the knees. not the sexy kind (unless you’re into that)
---
SHIFT
Worn against her skin to keep her outer layers clean. Probably made of linen; she owns more than one.
- I should draw embroidery on them more...
---
STAYS
Chest & Back support (which my girl clearly needs). Made of leather, worn over her shift.
- While often made of cloth & whalebone, lower class women in the early 18th c. did wear leather stays reinforced with reed
- They also would have worn an outer layer over their stays– presuming they could afford it. She can’t.
- They should be spiral-laced in the front, but it’s a pain in the ass to make sure the lacing is always lined up right...
---
SKIRT
Probably made of wool, dyed with available plant dye. would (or should) normally wear an apron over it.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5cdanoh72pxyjz24d2sjgpsc/bafkreicjad4wqrlbpt6zsig45nv5h25wpiay5qsfyie2xdmrmox7aupqia@jpeg)

also should probably attempt to explain what's going on with these two. plus some clothing notes for hannie, because i'm normal (and sane)
![A simple line drawing of a woman holding a flower. She seems to be missing a finger on her left hand. A sigil prominently hangs over her chest.
HANNEVER BAKER - LVL 1 summoner
A simple woman caught
in events far beyond her.
offered “branwen” (the valravn) shelter in her home. was mildly infatuated with him. did not know his true nature until it was far too late.
later Murdered & soul consumed by the valravn as a “tiresome” consequence of his true goals.
Resurrected by local heroes (after they defeated the valravn).
---
A simple line drawing of a man in armor. The same sigil hangs over his chest.
"BRANWEN" - lvl 1 (?) summoned creature [fey]
(also known as: the Valravn, Shadow of Doubt,
the Terald, Oathsworn, et cetera.)
A small fragment of a much more powerful primordial fey entity.
Previously preyed upon the souls of ambitious would-be kings. defeated by well-meaning heroes. Now bound to the newly-resurrected soul of his most recent victim (Hannie).
He is greatly reduced now that he’s confined to this form. Currently, he can only appear with the visage Hannie remembers.
---
Notes in the margin state:
- The Valravn’s natural form is a giant (4ft tall), monstrous raven
- But (among other things) it was an adept shapeshifter, often wearing the faces of its victims
---
To the top right, a height scale image shows that BRANWEN is 6'7", and HANNIE is 5'2", with a 1.5ft height difference.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5cdanoh72pxyjz24d2sjgpsc/bafkreigauucaounknu3b4n55xglyeqm3jnoqz6u7cmt4t24ynehaupzzm4@jpeg)

i figured it was probably about time to introduce my OCs, since i never shut da fuck up about them
![A simple line drawing picture of a smiling woman in armor, holding a broad blade.
FINCH WIDOWKNIFE - lvl 17 champion [redeemer]
Changeling (hag-born) champion of the redeemer queen. Believes the best in everyone, to a fault and beyond. One of the heroes that slew the valravn.
Went to Hell (with friends) to free meg from her contracts, name, and infernal nature.
building meg a house and gave meg halF OF her last name. still blushes every time meg kisses her. Cares for meg, without reservation.
---
A simple line drawing of a woman with long hair and elven ears, smiling at the viewer.
MEG TARCHANJAN - LVL ??? witch patron (?)
Previously a type of devil known as an Erinys.
refused an offer to serve a deity. no longer a fiend, she is navigating freedom from restriction and order.
views finch with great and inscrutable fondness.
Off to the side, there is a small height scale drawing, showing that MEG is 6'0" and FINCH is 5'0", with a 1ft height difference.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5cdanoh72pxyjz24d2sjgpsc/bafkreic5mzy3mrzwfdoglgq5ujoa2yvcrrrs7roblr35hfhmxdghhqohju@jpeg)

also super old but speaking of unposted art, etienne & her brother ruthlessly destroying a single enemy. marshal rogue using To Battle! to give the Fighter a first MAP swing (crit), into an Opportune Backstab crit was. nice.

Mildly early but my jank #artsummary
I drew virtually NOTHING from Jan - March. For the year, ~300 pictures is my best estimate based on my procreate gallery of canvases. I draw a lot I don’t share (unfinished, etc) and cram them in 2-3 to a canvas, tho
