In my fantasy novel, there are four teenage mages who hang out a lot. I drew each of their houses in a different season:
"Winter at the Orchard"
Winter at the Orchard (part of my Methyean Seasons series): Rows of dormant apple trees sit steadfast against the falling snowflakes, while one of the family's mounts--a unicorn--dozes under the branches. I originally wanted to do a line of trees during the winter, but it wouldn’t show the house. Plus orchards are prettier in the spring, but I had already used spring. In the end I settled on the unicorn dozing amongst the trees on the road leading to the character’s house
"Summer at the Estate"
Summer at the Estate (part of my Methyean Seasons series): A peaceful path leading up to a home build in the trees. Outside the family's horses graze on the summer grass. Since she is the archsage's daughter, they have a very fantasy style house--a tree makes up the front door. Their house is connected to a cave system behind, and has a connection to their barn, where their animals live. I included my own pony in the front yard.
"Spring on the Farm"
"Spring at the Farm" (part of my Methyean Seasons series): The colorful trees are in bloom against the backdrop of the blue mountains . The family's livestock enjoy the warm air while their young hatch. I based the town they live in on mine so I needed blue mountains (for the Blue Ridge Mountains). This character lives on a farm in a style that I would feel home in one day, and he raises an alien bird-alpaca hybrid.
"Autumn at the Grist Mill"
"Autumn at the Grist Mill" (part of my Methyean Seasons series): Withing the changing leaves sits a family home with a waterwheel. The pond by the house has the best fishing. I adore the cozy cabin with the waterwheel and would love the sound of the water lulling me to sleep. Over the bridge the family owns a grist mill where they make cider. The mages love to walk downstream and fish in the pond that forms.

Tomorrow I will start the art polls for my upcoming painting series! There will be two polls since 1. There are too many characters and 2. The characters are from two different fandoms (Arcane and Baldur’s Gate 3)
There will be FOUR paintings in this series inspired by the warm weather rolling in. Each character will be drawn from the waist up with a flower. What kind of flower? I’ll hold polls for that too!
Of each poll, the top two highest voted will be picked!
I’m looking forward to seeing who y’all want me to paint!
Also I may or may not release a Fallout Lucy painting before starting these
