"I just... don't have Illario's gift for flirting."
I have to disagree. 🫦
Anyway, I finally finished this painting after 29.5 hours!
I'm so happy with the end result and the progress I made during the bootcamp. 😍
I even added a little bonus with Spite. 😎

Just a quick heads up: I've changed my username from "CL, the Bard" to "V, the Librarian".
It's the one I've been using for my art anyway and running around with two handles felt a bit redundant after all this time. 😅

The cold accompanying the constant #drizzle soaked into our clothes and seeped into our skin and bones.
Still, we kept walking to stay as warm as we could as well as to find some shelter.
You stumbled and hit the ground hard.
I helped you up, supporting your weight.
We had to keep walking.

They say the boat only appears every ten years.
Or was it 15?
Maybe when the stars were right.
It was just a myth anyway.
The boat which will #unmoor itself and vanish on the sea as soon as it has lured in passengers.
Just a myth, I tell myself as I board, my doubts immediately forgotten.

LOOK AT HIM! LOOK AT THAT ADORABLE COO BARISTA! 🥹
I love him your honour.
If I had such a barista in a coffee shop near me, my caffeine intake would increase by a very unhealthy amount. 🥰

Carpets can be magical, but rarely subservient
When I saw him at the bazaar, his threads glinted gold. I jumped on his back and demanded he fly, so we did. He dazed me with the beauty of sky. Then I felt the #veer
Now I'm falling like an Autumn leaf. The carpet is circling me with a giggle

The crows have fallen silent years and years ago, leaving empty skies behind.
At first everybody was relieved their incessant cawing no longer kept them awake at night.
Then, the silence they had left behind became eerie.
Oppressive.
Until the #murmurs started.

The hot metal #seared her skin, the smell of scorched flesh sickening.
The pain subsided as quickly as it began at least and she took in a shuddering breath.
She had succeeded where all of the others had failed.
With a final look around, she left the burned bodies of her predecessors behind.

He didn't expect a #heartfelt apology from them when they kicked him out, because he dared to speak up when they betrayed everything they had worked towards.
Lucky for him he still had some tricks up his sleeve.
He would make sure they wouldn't be able to leave the proverbial sinking ship.

He always wanted to become famous.
To be so important, influencal and desirable that people would stop in the street to just look at him.
And his wish was granted.
Yes, he's literally #unmissable now.
In every sense of the word.
I click my tongue as I line up my shot.

Working in ink only is bloody terrifying but also very rewarding.
Is it perfect? Nope.
But without being able to correct I had to commit to my lines and accept the imperfections.
And I love the result a ton, I only wish it was in my sketchbook and not on loose printer paper. 🥲

Gathering spell ingredients ranges from visiting the nearest supermarket to risking your life.
That's why my family consists of specialists for procuring elusive and dangerous items.
For a price of course.
Our newest order is for a lock of hair from a banshee, marked as express #delivery.

You look beautiful with the way the glittering snow #adorns your figure.
With your lips and cheeks wearing a rosy tint from the cold air.
I don't dare to touch you, afraid to break the spell.
I'd rather keep admiring you as you are.
Frozen in time and never changing, only for my eyes to see.

Once, there were words and songs when we were together.
Now all that's left is a silent elegy covering us like a suffocating blanket.
Pushing us down to the ground like a burden, leaving us unable to move, to close the gap or move away for good.
Our #symphony is all but a distant memory.

"Any idea where your wife could've gone?" the cop asked.
"No," he replied, "I'm completely #clueless. She's never disappeared like this"
That's when his wife walked into the room.
"How did you get in here?" she asked the cop.
"Your husband let me in," the cop pointed at an empty chair. #vss365

“The Crows rule Antiva, and Treviso will be free.”
First art of the year is done! I’m back with my neon shenanigans, as I needed a little palate cleanser before I continue with CO EX33 art.
Also, I finally accepted I have a thing for men with nice beards. 😌

Syl‘s portrait bootcamp in the beginning of the year has been a real game changer for me.
Also, I couldn’t choose just one favourite piece. 😬

QRP with some pieces of 2025 you're really proud of!
I started the first piece in December 2024, but I finished it in January 25.
This collection illustrates my shifting fixation from DA Veilguard to DA Inquisition to Expedition 33 really well. 🤭🌹🥖

The first part of the final instalment of my Clair Obscur Expedition 33 notebook series for all of the characters is done!
The next piece will be a continuation of this, so stay tuned. 🧡

"Here's your tea." The elderly woman handed him a cup.

#Reality is slipping, cracking.
Lines like a spider web separate the pieces, dividing them into #relevant and neglible.
What is important though?
Which parts should be ignored?
Are there #specific signs, a path I can follow hidden somewhere between the lines?
I hope it leads to Wintery Bay.
