Linking Spotlight: February 2024

** Inspirational DTIYS times!!!!**

Missy and her little companion from Fancy Fatale (**18+), and Azalea with her new clothes.

So everyone? Perhaps it’s no secret right now that yours truly has been very, very busy behind the scenes… working on TL… working on projects that can’t be revealed just yet… and working on well, everything! I’ve been working to the max, and thus almost have had no time to simply celebrate some of the nicer moments happening for the TL cast at this time– like Azalea finally getting out of her torn, messed up clothes thanks to all of her messed-up circumstances so far.

Getting to go from this

…To this!

Recently, my dear friend Fancy released a Draw This In Your Style challenge (DTIYS) on her Instagram (open until March 1st!) with her awesome newest character from her Dungeons and Dragons story’s lore: Missy, the astral sea druid tiefling.

And though I have had so little time, I had to, had to take a moment out, even just to sketch for about 30 minutes or so… my own homage to just how beautiful Missy and her attire are, all put together.

My sketch on Instagram!

Everything about celebrating Missy’s beauty, and the tones in her clothes, inspired me to do the same for Azalea… which, as I decided to draw her the next day… I found myself making similar marks— drawing from those same yellows and purples… concentrating on similar detail in folds in the cloth, on one’s right shoulder, those white highlights that make the final touches pop.

Also my sketch on Instagram!

As, Azalea’s just as happy for her new look, courtesy everyone… and to finally be rid of her old attire. And I realize I would not have given time for this special moment for Azalea, amongst all the storms, had I not celebrated as well my link with Fancy, and her own amazing characters and community challenges.

My thanks goes out to Fancy for that. 🙂 I think I’m as grateful as Azalea is herself of everyone’s help for her.
