Little Lives (gone)

Just a kindly reminder that this hungry trans doctoral student artist is taking commissions! Your favourite deity / literary or DnD character / living or not so living person can be drawn for you in 3-7 days max in this style (normally 2-3 but being on the safe side here).

I've read a 1912 compendium of criminal case studies featuring peasant girls and women from all corners of former Russian Empire as perpetrators, and I couldn't shake the thought of all those 16, 17, 18 year olds driven to killing themselves, their unwanted children, their husbands two or three times them older who were essentially r*ping them for years. Hence the little mermaid - a Slavic edition (in Slavic folklore, mermaids are a type of the undead). All violence starts with domestic and gender-based violence. Russia is a terrorist state and always has been. Down with empires.

One of the most enjoyable commissions I’ve ever done so far - Sreng and Bres as the Barbie and Ken meme. I think they’re a perfect tag yourself meme now!

You might think that this is Maedhros, but this is not Maedhros. This is my OC, Prince Adhnár mac Earnáin of Síd Earnáin (yes, old king Cole Earnán is not exactly famous for his vivid imagination).

Truth be told, this is no Prince Adhnár either, this is Princess Áine. But since her life is hell atm, she is closeted even from herself for the time being (that won’t last forever, I promise).
