+300 Followers Fic Giveaway!?

I don’t know where all of you came from but, wow, this is surely nice! I’ve been active in quite a few fandoms over the past 15(?) years and I gotta say, I don’t think there were +300 people gathering around me and my silly little brain worms, ever.

As a thank you, I would really love to do a little Astarion-fanfic giveaway!

I’ll randomly select one person who can send me a request for a 1.5-3k words oneshot centered around the elf himself, Astarion. All you have to do is: 1. Be following me. 2. Reblog this post before April 15. Easy. I’ll happily write any genre, SFW and NSFW content, gn!/ f!Tav/Durge x Astarion, Dadstarion, etc.—but there’s little that can’t be discussed.

I’ve never had the privilege to meet so many insanely talented, kind and supportive people until my fellow Pale Elf simps Enthusiasts came along. I’m really so happy to be part of this community, and I want this to continue being a place everyone can enjoy!

I appreciate you so much, my darliings! ♡

(Realized I uploaded the original art with the wrong fonts. Many apologies. Anyway let me try again.) Introducing my first of the three apprentices I made for The Arcana. Her name is Saranna Kallima and she’s the Apprentice I made for Julian’s route. This was my first time making digital art in Photoshop and I hope I did decently with both the art and her design. While her major design influence was Esmeralda from The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996) I took inspiration from many things in pop culture ranging from anime, video games, movies and cartoons. (Ex. her hair design is a reference to Father Abel Nightroad from Trinity Blood, Jedi Padawan apprentice braids from Star Wars and Princess Elyon’s hair braids from W.I.T.C.H.) I could write down all the pop culture refrences in her design but I’ll save that for another post. I hope you all enjoy Saranna and my attempts at digital art.

Process: Pencil Sketch, 2D Photo Scan, Adobe Photoshop CC 2018

Thank you so MUCH for making an apprentice tea for Saranna! I greatly and immensely appreciate it.

If you're still doing Apprentice Teas for The Arcana could I have one for my protective and determined apprentice Saranna? She LOVES thistle tea with her second favorite being heather tea but in the mornings she prefers to have a strong black tea to wake herself up. She likes the subtle sweetness found in the aforementioned teas as she likes floral teas, plus she was introduced to said teas from her aunt who raised her as her own daughter, so there's a personal reason behind her love for them.

Note to self: either give my own fan Apprentice Velia a subtle-not subtle sharp wit for her characterization or her having an airheaded moment in that scene.

Lucio wants them apple bottom jeans, cape with the fur.
