I drew art?? Oh well.

Cloud goddess, who I'll call Stella out of love for the Astrophil and Stella sonnets.

Some days ago, I drew this cloud goddess based on a picture of a cloud my sister sent.

I love these clouds

I originally wanted the clouds on her to look pinkish but decided it didn't really suit her... After all, I was more in love with this vibrant orange colour palette with dark brown clouds in the foreground. 

When colouring, I've decided to make her hair this bright yellow colour with hints of orange glowing softly behind her. Her skin tone would then be this rich chocolate-brown colour to contrast against it. I have yet to finish it, obviously, but I think it'll look super pretty as a bookmark.

Speaking of bookmarks, I've designed something interesting! It took a while to get it right but I'm quite happy with how it looks so far.

Out of love for Edmund Spencer's The Fairie Queene, I've decided to call him the Fairy King, King of the flowers.

Yes, it's another big person, but it's a guy this time. Since drawing him, I wonder if he looks okay. I had always imagined my subject to look a bit stern but he looks more extraverted here, a man with kind-sexy-eyes and a big laugh. 

I would think he's Stella's little brother who's born much later than her but no less powerful or imposing in size. They're flirting with the same knight and they court him in sort of funny ways. Stella gives him the most beautiful sunsets and the Fairy King makes sure his garden is always thriving. Silly, huh?

At first, I wanted them to be lovers but then I keep thinking their auras are too similar so they're siblings instead. At any rate, they're complementary bookmarks!

For the Fairy King, I want his hair to be made up of lots of beautiful flowers. It'll be painterly like the cloud one but... Different... Ish.

These are the flowers I'm talking about! Find them on my Instagram page.

I also want to give him lots of hair on his body. I think it'll be quite nice.

I also find it funny that he has this cheeky, somewhat kingly vibe to him when he's guarding something so demure and lovely like flowers. I'd think he'd be more suitable to rule the skies so he can cast lightning strikes and create tempests whenever he's angry. Perhaps me wanting to switch his and his sister's roles is very gender-normative of me haha.
