Little Fawn - Queen's Orders

When Emil Conrad is summoned by the kingdom's Most Beloved Queen Ennlin he drops everything to serve her. But, when the Queen asks him to cu

I’ve been drawing Snow way too sad in canon so I had to draw her happy somewhere 😭😭😭 modern au save me 😭😭😭

Something I had to keep reminding myself of because I keep imagining her like she was in Catching Fire-

Wiress was still a kid when she mentored Haymitch- they're like 2 year apart

I feel like we're so used to the idea of the mentors being old enough to be the tributes parents

but so many of them were still babies forced to blame themselves for other babies deaths

Hey realized I hadn’t mentioned it officially on here

But I’m now publishing a comic on Webtoon!

I know I’ve talked about it before but that was a WHILE ago so sorry for advertising again

It’s called Little Fawn. It’s a Snow White retelling about the huntsman deciding to risk himself and go with Snow White to protect her from both the queen and the forest. It’s centered around found family- especially between the huntsman and Snow who he becomes a father to. I’d like to say it’s very sweet and cute but it’s been pretty dark so far so be aware of that going in 🥲 (there will be a lot of light moments! But the start of Snow White isn’t exactly the cheeriest in any adaptation)

It’s officially up to 4 chapters as I’m writing this so please check it out if that sounds at all interesting!

i love you like all-fire

I was trying to look up medieval inn names and the awful google ai thing popped up with what was clearly ai generated names

And I know that because one of them was Jolly Jester

Felt like I was in a horror movie for a second ngl

I hate when someone makes a criticism or argument that I have a legitimate answer/explanation for but I KNOW they’re not arguing in good faith and saying anything would be more or a headache than it’s worth so I just have to cross my arms and be moody about it

MAJOR SOTR SPOILERS

I feel like most stories I've seen that tackle the topic of propaganda always show the dangers of it in a similar way. They show blatant displays of violence that are hidden away from the people

But in Panem, violence is the point. So how does SOTR show the dangers of propaganda?

A) They cover up The Capitol's incompetence. (D12's Reaping, The Tribute Parade, Louella's death, Lou Lou being a real slap-dash solution, Haymitch being able to break parts of the arena, tributes finding and killing low rank game makers in the arena)

and B) Erasing any memory of the solidarity between the districts, and the strength it gives them. Mainly in the way Haymitch's games were edited to erase the Newcomers- an alliance between EIGHT DISTRICTS. (Some might say it failed, but a lot of those kids survived longer and were a little less scared because of it and that matters.) And by making Haymitch seem like he's the victor because he only played for himself (aka that's the only way to survive-forced individualism)

no one here is guilty of this crime but her name is LENORE DOVE. Not Lenore. Dove is not her middle name it’s the second half of her first name.

Double barrel names are full names. You say the whole thing. It’s like Mary-Kate Olson. It’s not Mary or Kate, it’s Mary-Kate. There’s just a space between Lenore and Dove instead of a hyphen, which is totally normal. The whole thing is her name. Just like Lucy Gray isn’t Lucy. Double barrel names are a part of Covey culture AND ALSO current southern and Appalachian culture.

Omg I just found your blog and your art is LOVELY. I was wondering if you had a timeline for when your commissions will be back open? Totally understand if not but I had to ask!

Thank you!!! I've been working on a webcomic that's been taking up a lot of my free time so I'm not sure yet! But I love doing commissions so I'm hoping to open them again soon!!

I don’t precisely know how to phrase this, and truly, I have too many things I would simply die to see in your wonderful style, so I can throw some potential inspiration out there:

1. (More THG adjacent but) I am so compelled by the fact that Lenore Dove, Lucy Gray, and Peeta all have a connection to the color orange … would you ever draw a Lenore Dove-centric piece with nods to LGB & P?

2. And then of course any scene with Haymitch … I simply love the way you illustrate him … particularly the way you show us scenes from the trilogy from his POV … 👀👀👀👀

3. Orrr maybe, more SOTR specific … Burdock (perhaps emerging from the mist in the woods as he does) and the Covey graves …

But honestly, I’ll gobble up anything you create with a spoon. A spoon, I tell you.

All very very very good suggestions!

BUT something people might not know about me is Burdock has been one of my absolute FAVORITE HG characters for YEARS now (when his name was revealed my reaction actually startled my friend I was with)

And in the epilogue Haymitch’s mentions him proudly touting baby Katniss around

I HAD to draw him proudly with both his little girls

Did you draw that photo of book accurate Katniss, Peeta, and haymitch? If you did, I really love the way you illustrated their burn scars. I’m a burn survivor and I’ve never been burn scars be illustrated so beautifully. Thank you for that

I (probably) am the one that drew it! You have no idea how happy I am to hear that!! 😭

A character of a story of mine is also a burn survivor and I’ve tried my best to do all the research to get it right, so that means a lot to know!! 🩷🩷🩷

I forgot I made this lmao

His first real birthday

I JUST REALIZED I POSTED THIS ON HIS BIRTHDAY

Family Portrait

The only family he has.

SOTR Spoilers Ahead:

I've seen a couple of posts now about people's suspicion over The Capitol being able to find a girl that could replace Louella as fast as they did, especially after finding out Lou Lou's from District 11

But I'm gonna be honest, when I found out she was from District 11, it actually put a lot of the pieces together for me. My mind immediately went to Seeder, the D11 female victor in Catching Fire

If its been a second since you've read CF here's her description:

She looks like she could be from the seam. I wouldn't be surprised if Seeder's description is the reason SC chose D11 for Lou Lou tbh.

Also for making their faces match, I've always just kinda assumed fast fashion cosmetic surgery is common place for The Capitol so there's probably plenty of surgeons able to do the job quickly and well enough to pass her off as Louella to anyone who didn't know her.

And it’s not like they did a particularly clean job at it either. Their “solution” was so incredibly slapped together and messy (And that’s HORRIFIC because we’re talking about a CHILD). She’s hooked up to drugs 24/7, which could easily be ripped out, manipulated, etc. and also make her barely able to function and causes more problems for the Capitol than not. One thing that’s brought up over and over in sotr is the Capitol’s gross incompetence, but because of they’re good at propaganda, you wouldn’t realize it. Lou Lou’s another example of that

(Also....Seeder's in her 60s in CF...meaning she would have been a victor and, I dunno, old enough to have a 13 year old by the 50th Hunger Games...I'M NOT SAYING SHE'S LOU LOU'S MOM I'm just saying the timeline lines up weirdly well)

I want to just

Draw sotr fanart

But there’s so many moments and characters to choose from that I can’t decide

So send over any suggestions you have for inspiration

Without fail every single THG book has had at least one moment (usually multiple) with a district 11 tribute/citizen that had me ugly crying and GOD LOU LOU’S GOTTEN ME LIKE 4 TIMES

I love the covey girls so much (also im only halfway through the book so no spoilers please I beg)

a little concept for a story I'm working on "Lost Dawn"

set in a post apocalyptic/ fantasy setting and heavily inspired by middle eastern aesthetics and mythology

the BEST THING about America is that one of their timezones is called mountain time. i cannot tell you how funny that is to me. it sure is always time for mountains in one fourth of america

Thank you for tagging me!!!

Sweet/Spicy/Savory: Sweet but specifically fruit kind of sweet not dessert kind of sweet

Current obsession: My own comic lol but Nocturne is on the back burner and I can feel THG creeping back up

Last thing I searched online: The etymology of the word dad (trying to figure out what characters can call their father in a fantasy setting)

Looking forward to: FINALLY posting my comic!!
