Next art that @leaglem.bsky.social did of Mila and Nora, featuring this gorgeous background!

#Nora_UM #Mila_UM #uncertainmagia #writing #art #fantasy

A color illustration of my characters, Nora and Mila. The background shows a purple sky. Several blue and purple flowers swirl around them. The artist's signature and the year are written next to Nora's knee.

Nora is shorter and has short hair. They have blue eyes. Their hair is black, except for a tuft of red hair in the middle of their bangs. They wear a light blue headband, a too-big, long-sleeved, white button-up shirt with the sleeves rolled up (the shirt belongs to Mila, their girlfriend, also pictured here), and blue-gray pants. Their feet are bare. They are fat.

Nora is sitting on their legs and leaning forward, on top of Mila's lap. They have one hand on Mila's cheek and one hand on Mila's chest. They are looking at Mila with big, shining eyes. Their eyebrows are slightly creased and their mouth is slightly open, making a loving, emotional expression.

This art is meant to represent Nora after their character arc. They have made some progress in unpacking their trauma. This is shown visually through the more relaxed clothing choices, more open nonverbal communication, and their increase in weight.

Mila is taller and more muscular than Nora. She has long, blonde hair and brown eyes. Mila wears a short-sleeved shirt. The torso of the shirt is blue, while the sleeves of the shirt are dark blue with gold trim. There are two threads from the shirt that crisscross in the form of a X in the middle of her chest. Mila wears black pants and white socks.

Mila is sitting cross-legged, with one hand on Nora's shoulder and her other hand at Nora's side, under their elbow. As in the first art, Mila is gazing lovingly at Nora as well. However, in this art, Mila's expression is more relaxed and open. Her mouth is open as well, as if speaking, while smiling.

A post-character growth illustration of Nora and Mila!

@leaglem.bsky.social absolutely outdid themselves with these arts, which is amazing to say because the first Noramila arts I commissioned from them blew my mind. Thank you so much!

A color illustration of my characters, Nora and Mila, on a transparent background.

Nora is shorter and has short hair. They have blue eyes. Their hair is black, except for a tuft of red hair in the middle of their bangs.

Thank *YOUUUU* 💚

Diana Elena @uncertainmagia.bsky.social · 8d

Fun fact! Had I commissioned this art later, I would have asked for Mila to be there. In the time between when this art was made and now, I decided that Mila was transfem. (Which also makes Noramila t4t lesbians) That'll get updated in the arts for next year~

Diana Elena @uncertainmagia.bsky.social · 8d

Along with Leaglem's pride art of Noramila, I also commissioned this AWESOME art of my trans characters from @artichow.bsky.social !! Thank you so much!! (Y'all GO COMMISSION THEM NAOW HIS ART IS BEAUTIFUL)

#Lalo_UM #Lisandro_UM #Yandiel_UM #Nora_UM #Saúl_UM #uncertainmagia #writing #art #fantasy

A color group illustration of five: Lalo, Lisandro, Nora, Yandiel, and Saúl. There is a rainbow in the colors of the trans pride flag above them. The background is pink with lines in the shape of celebratory stars, and confetti falls down on the characters.

Lalo is the first left-hand character. He has short, straight, and brown hair, brown eyes, white skin with vitiligo, and a lanky body. He's wearing rectangular wire glasses, a light green tank top, and blue-gray pants.

The first right-hand character Lisandro. Because of the lighting, Lisandro's hair seems brown, but it is black. He has long, wavy hair in a ponytail and a muscular body. He wears a shirt with pink and white vertical stripes, and blue suspenders. His shirt has long sleeves, with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows.

Below Lalo is Yandiel. He is wearing a long, yellow-orange dress with geometric patterns and gold trim along the hem and waist. Her hair is black and Afro-textured; her hairstyle has shaved sides and curly hair on top. She has brown eyes, black hair, and brown skin. They wear gold hoop earrings.

Below Lisandro is Nora Ester. They have short, straight, and black hair, with a tuft of hair in their bangs dyed red, and blue eyes. They're wearing a light blue headband, a pastel yellow jacket clipped around their collar with a red amulet and drapped over their shoulders like a cape, a long-sleeved purple shirt, gray pants, and lace-up blue boots.

The fifth character overall, in the middle and closest to the viewer, is Saúl. Only his torso is visible. Saúl has brown skin and black, Afro-textured hair, which he wears in locs with gold looplets interspersed throughout. His eyes are yellow, with a thin pupil similar to a snake. She has a blue ruana with gold and green geometric designs, and under that, a yellow shirt with an open collar. He also wears two rows of a red, beaded necklace.

Like Lisandro, both Saúl and Yandiel appear to have brown hair, but only because of the lighting.

Behold this beautiful art of Yandiel by Lunamoondrops! www.instagram.com/luna_moon_dr...

I commissioned this art around the time I realized Yandiel would use any/all and Luna knocked it out of the park! Thank youuu

#Yandiel_UM #uncertainmagia #writing #art #fantasy

This is a color full body illustration of my OC, Yandiel. He is wearing a long, yellow-orange dress with geometric patterns and gold trim along parts of the hem and cuff. Her hairstyle has shaved sides and curly hair on top. She has brown eyes and black hair. They wear gold hoop earrings. There is a golden, tasseled string decoration tied around his stomach and around her right foot. There is a light, pinkish-brown rectangle behind Yandiel. In the left corner of the picture, there is white text that reads "Luna Moon Drops," which is the name of the artist. Thank you so much, Luna!

Really wish people learned to deal with the weird little thoughts in their heads and built trust that the things their brain conjures up and chooses to respond to does not reflect their morality. Your actions do. That's all this puritanical shit is. People scared of their own thoughts and feelings.

@leaglem.bsky.social gave me SUCH a big surprise when they added this extra art to the pride art I'd commissioned.

"?!? gae-webcomic-senpai made me *fanart* ?!? foaming at the mouthhh" was the vibe of my reaction. THANK YOUUU SO MUCHHHH

#Nora_UM #Mila_UM #uncertainmagia #writing #art #fantasy

A color, bust illustration of my characters, Nora and Mila. The background is white, with a parchment-colored square behind Noramila. Mila has one arm around Nora; she uses her other hand to caress Nora's cheek with a finger. Mila rests her head against Nora's head. She's looking down at them adoringly. Nora has one arm flat on a surface. They hold their head up with the other hand. Nora is looking up at Mila with a big smile, mouth open, as if mid-conversation.

Nora and Mila are in their "comfy chill times" clothes. Nora wears their light blue headband as always, but they're also wearing one of Mila's white shirts, which is too big for them. Mila is wearing a blue, short-sleeved shirt. The sleeves are a darker blue than the torso of the shirt. The sleeves also have a gold band at the end.

Mila is taller than than Nora. She has long blonde hair and brown eyes. Nora is shorter and fatter. They have short black hair and blue eyes. A tuft of hair in the middle of their bangs is dyed red.

Gae Fantasy Latine peeps~ As ever, all of my thanks to the incredible @leaglem.bsky.social for this awesome art!

#Nora_UM #Mila_UM #uncertainmagia #writing #art #fantasy

A color illustration of my characters, Nora and Mila, on a pastel yellow background. Behind Nora and Mila are semi transparent colored flowers. Toward the middle of the image, there is bright rainbow band. The rainbow band is less transparent than the colored flowers, but still transparent, and some colored flowers can be seen through the band as well.

Nora is shorter and has shorter hair. They have blue eyes. Their hair is red, except for a tuft of black hair in the middle of their bangs. They wear a light blue headband and a yellow jacket over their shoulders like a cape, clipped at the neck with a red amulet. Their shirt is long-sleeved and purple, their pants are blue jeans, and they wear high, lace-up blue boots.

Mila is taller and has long hair. She wears a long red coat, a white cravat, brown pants, and black, laceless bloots. She has blonde hair and brown eyes.

Mila is sitting crosslegged, looking down lovingly at Nora, who sits on top of Mila's lap. Nora has their gaze downcast, looking worried and concerned. This art is meant to represent Nora at the start of their character arc, while they're still dealing with a lot of baggage from their conservative upbringing. Notably, Nora is thinner here than they will be in a subsequent art that depicts them at a later point, when mental healing has begun happening. Nora's arms are crossed, with one hand making a fist. Rainbow light emanates from their fist. Mila cradles Nora, one hand over Nora's clenched fist.

Now.
In September.

Those are now just going to become Hispanic Heritage Month arts, given that all the characters are *both* Latine and gay xD

my time sacrifice has pleased the autism god #uncertainmagia #UM_website

A screenshot of my Uncertain Magia website in Elementor. It shows the credit page where I list every artist who has been commissioned for art used on the site. There are two categories, "Character Sheets" and "Illustrations," and under each is an alphabetical list of artists with their respective links. Each artist name is its own section in Elementor.

Oooo this is very cool!

Heyo! My name's Diana Elena and I've spent the last eight years working on writing a fantasy universe and novel. Right now the site mostly has art commissions; I plan to build it up in time. Come along for gae, ND, LATAM shenanigans

This mirrors similar language when people call it a partner who’s available 24/7 or a friend who will never let them down.

They want a thing they can treat like a person because they are used to people who they treat like things.

There was something freeing, I found, in having a conversation without the need to take turns, to soften my opinions, to protect someone else’s feelings. In that freedom, I gave the machine everything it needed to pick up on my phrasing.
