Okay,, but what if the FL was the dominant, rich, and bossy CEO and the ML was the sweet, kind and gentle secretary/assistant who volunteers in his free time 🤔🤩

just something I felt like doodling up real quick haha 😅

Commission for @musing-and-music, gifted to @torchwood-99 !

‘Lady Eowyn,’ he said at last, unable to justify leaving one who was weeping, without first trying to offer some comfort.  Her head jerked up, confirming what Faramir suspected. She sprung to her feet, and her hand went straight to the hilt of her sword. Faramir held his hands up, and stayed like that, until the lady’s breathing steadied. - "The Lady's Hand" by TeamGwenee/Torchwood-99 Fic Summary: After one escapade too many, Theoden and Eomer decide it's time for Eowyn to wed. (post canon au)

This was such a delight to make (and for a great fic too!) !! Thank you to Musing-and-Music for commissioning me!! Everyone go check out this fic and give it some love <3

My two oc's, Freyjr and Kharhad 🥹from one of my original stories that I'm actually running a poll on whether i should write it or another story first go vote now!

The story starts on an island empire, a melting pot inspired by Mediterranean cultures. Kharhad is crown prince of the current royal line, while Freyjr is the daughter of a northern admiral who now serves Kharhad's family. She and her family hail from a northern country heavily inspired by Scandinavian Vikings.

Due to a recent but long history of war between the island empire and this northern country in particular, many who are aware of Kharhad's intense crush on Freyjr are quite disapproving of the potential match, as those of northern descent are often mistrusted or disliked in the island empire.

Kharhad is a beefy nerd who drinks his "respect women" juice daily--and is quite the catch, if only he could stop acting completely awkward and shy and like a bumbling buffoon around Freyjr, maybe she'd notice that he's totally in love with her😭 (she does actually kinda know haha he's not exactly subtle with his feelings 😉). I'd say he has the energy of a himbo but he is probably too academic to qualify as one technically speaking 🤔

They're two of the main POV characters in the novel. The other two are Phasmus, Kharhad's best friend, and Princess Mhessa, Kharhad's younger sister who covets everything her brother has and wishes were hers: His status as heir to the islands, how well liked and respected he is among their peers, and of course, even the affection a certain northern lass has for her older brother 😏

Anyway, if you want to see this story come to life sooner than later pls go vote for it here! (Story idea #2 btw!)

#original story #original character art #ocs #my art #yes in case you were wondering Mhessa is a GIANT lesbian who ALSO has a crush on Freyjr lol #tho she at first assumes it's bc of her competition with her brother for the throne #but then she's like 'oh shit. wait. i have REAL feelings for her?? /shook' #also no she's not a villain (tho she is kinda antagonistic towards her brother lmao) #People who hate love triangles probably won't like this story bc there's like two major love triangles with a LOT of overlap LOL

Please help/vote! Which Webnovel Premise should I write and serialize first?

So, I have two (New Adult) story ideas, and I can't seem to choose which one I'd like to focus on first 😆🤔 (I'm very eager to do both, but I need to manage my time effectively and that means not taking on too much on top of my webtoon lol). I most likely would be writing as serialized webnovels

STORY IDEA 1: (Loosely Based on a previous webnovel I started for a Tapas competition and then decided to scrap bc I wanted to rework the story and characters). "When two best friends go backpacking together, they get kidnapped into, and subsequently separated in, the Fae Realm. One young woman finds a rescuer in a wealthy and powerful female fae, while the other finds an unlikely friend in a socially scorned fae with a dark history." A tale of fae politics, romance, and history.

What makes me excited about this story: Involves a sapphic couple as the main romance, and I've done/doing a TON of worldbuilding to try to make this fae realm different than your usual ballad, while keeping all the tricky fae mischief you're used to ;)

STORY IDEA 2: "Four friends residing in an island empire must contend with their newfound magic powers, as magic leaks into their world for the first time in centuries, threatening not only their safety, but the world as they know it." Involves romance, set in a historical-inspired setting, quite a few queer leads, and a bunch of dumbasses that have to figure out how to save the world lol

What makes me excited about this story: I've literally had this story idea for over a decade, but always felt nervous writing it bc it's so "grand" of an idea. I've drawn the four main characters before (see here and here)

Anyway, I've been struggling with which story I should focus on first, and thought I'd let y'all tell me which story idea intrigues you the most??

I did the donut tutorial! I'm so proud of myself 😭🤩 (lol)

I wanna learn how to create 3D environments in particular, mainly for comic-making purposes. Anyway, this was a great tutorial and I learned a lot as someone without a ton of experience with 3D :>

Beneath the Camphor Tree has updated with Season 1, Ep46!!

Eun-ah is a woman who disguises herself as a man in order to earn a living as hired protection. When she by chance saves a young nobleman from being robbed by some crooks, she quickly learns that the young nobleman was actually the Crown Prince of Joseon, and he wants none other than for her to be his personal bodyguard! Trouble is, no one in the palace, least of all the crown prince, knows she's a woman, so she has to keep pretending to be a man...

I have started recording when I work on my webtoon "Beneath the Camphor Tree" and I finally had an answer to how long an episode can take to make!

This episode was a little longer than usual at 40 panels, and to be completely honest it doesn't normally take only 11 hours to finish most episodes bc I get distracted very easily (lol thanks adhd) but! luckily recording my screen with OBS while I work on my episodes HAS been able to trick my ADHD into staying on task more efficiently due to not wanting to stop the recording in order to let myself get distracted AND not wanting to accidentally record something not related to making my webtoon 😅 So thankfully brains are apparently capable of being tricked into being functioning members of society lol

Just posted Chapter 3 of my Historical Romance Fantasy web novel on Tapas!

Summary 👇

Transporting back in time to a magical Regency England, June finds herself falling in love with a powerful Fae named Moira.

June’s life is not going the way she ever wanted or expected it to. She’s twenty-five, a college drop-out, works a dead-end retail job, lives with her mom, and has never had a relationship before.

Since turning eighteen, she’s dreamed of a magical library—in it, the books often feature imagery of a beautiful woman, someone that June can’t recall ever meeting in her waking life, but who June becomes fascinated by and drawn to over the years.

One night, in one of her dreams, June finds herself traveling through time and space to the 1810s of England, and face to face with this beautiful woman. June is not only surprised, but this sets off a chain reaction of events in June’s life, both in her dreams, and in the waking world, that threaten to not only disrupt her life, but the world as well.

Not only that, but the woman in her dreams, Moira le Fay, claims to not only be the great-granddaughter of the infamous legend, Morgan le Fay, but also a Grand Fae, a magic user, and June’s wife!

As June gets to know this woman who claims to have been married to her, she finds herself quickly falling in love—despite knowing she’s not the real “June” that Moira has been waiting all this time for…

…or is she?

These boys are both 10s but would rather nap/daydream than do their Uni hw 😅

a test panel for an upcoming webtoon/webcomic I'm hoping to start very soon... Will be posting a youtube video on my process for this panel/illustration soon too--Unlike with Beneath the Camphor Tree (which uses 3D renders for BGs), while still using 3D models to help with perspective and basic environment structure, this new comic will be *mostly hand drawn. I forgot how time consuming that is lol! Anyway, I'll post a link to the youtube video once it's posted, but basically the comic is set in a kinda Pre-Medieval World based loosely on Earth. The main characters are from an island empire loosely based on Ancient Greece/Rome/Egypt. If I end up seriously pursuing this comic idea, I expect/hope to be able to start posting chapters/pages in early 2024 :)

dreaming of warmer weather by drawing the three main/central female characters (in modern au) from my historical inspired webtoon "Beneath the Camphor Tree" ☺️ Y'all know Eun-ah of course, but the other two have yet to be introduced in the story (tho one of them is about to show up once the comic comes back from hiatus!) I honestly can't wait for you to meet these other two 🤗🤭

Also I totally am always taken aback by how TALL Eun-ah is when I draw her next to the other girls?? I know I always draw her just an inch or two shorter than Jae-ho but when she's next to other girls I'm like "Oh yeah. She's pretty tall." 😅🤣
