The Sad Giant and The Herbalist Witch PART 1 by mairithetree
This year I finally managed to push through this story I've shared tidbits with you folks on this Tumblr since 2021! I'm beyond happy to have printed copies for this story and sold them during YCon this year 💝🥰🌸
The sad giant and the herbalist witch is a fairy tale, lesbian romance🌈 filled with symbolism, flowers, and finding ways to heal trauma. It's a A5 zine of 26 pages and all the drawings inside are made with watercolor ! During YCon, I sold it at 7 euros :3
If any of you is interested to get one copy, don't hesitate to send me a message or to write a note underneath ! I may print them again in January 2024 😉💓Take care folks !

Frida & Sarah by mairithetree
Today for bi visibility day 💗💜💙, celebrated in France and in many other countries, I wanted to share with you a special piece I worked on for the last few days.
Sarah Bernhardt (1844 - 1923) in her Hamlet costume and Frida Kahlo (1907 - 1954) in masculine clothes side by side, two bisexual women who marked art history in different eras. It's a hommage to art nouveau as well and to Mucha who portrayed Sarah Bernhardt in many illustrations. Most of the flowers represented as patterns are flowers Frida had worn in her hair 💖💕
Here are the refs that inspired me for that piece : link, link
I cherish this illustration very deeply because this is how I strongly connect with my bi/pansexuality visually speaking : it's intricate, fluid, and colorful.
Going to see exhibitions about Sarah Bernhardt and Frida Kahlo this year had marked me and helped me a lot with the proccess of defining myself. That's why I wanted to draw them together 💖
Happy bi visibility day 🌈

A subtle flirt in the garden by mairithetree
“It’s a pity you always hide your face underneath these hats. You should reveal yourself more, my dear.” 💕
For Pride Month, a sapphic romance set during the 18th century in the park 🥰 The dresses are “robes à la française”, I took inspiration from these photos : link, link, link & link ! It took me some time to finish it and I’m happy with how the dresses look ✨
This illustration is a companion piece of that one I did last year 💖: link

Sad pink and Emo Green by mairithetree
An exploration of my two fave characters from the respective shonen MHA 🎇and shojou Fruits Basket 🌸 There are so many things that resonate between Izuku and Tohru that my mind keeps going back to them : how they’re filled with a deep anxiety, but manage to keep smiling, and spreading joy around them, how they question their self-worth and always strive to do better to the point of exhaustion, how they’re terrified of losing their loved ones and how fiercely they protect them, and finally how they see the good potential in others and forgive💗
I invented a small AU in which Tohru falls into the MHA universe by accident and desesperatly wants to go home to see her loved ones again. During a panic attack moment, Izuku meets her and befriends her. And of course, he helps her to go home ✨
Take care folks 💖

MARIPOSA by mairithetree 
Eh, yo soy muy mía, yo me transformo Una mariposa, yo me transformo Makeup de drag queen, yo me transformo Lluvia de estrellas, yo me transformo
SAOKO lyrics 
Last drawing of the year 2022. Based on Rosalía's recent album aesthetic Motomami and her outfit during her concert in Paris at Bercy * _ * She was so amazing there I had to make a drawing. It's time to channel your inner Rosalía for the new year to come 🐛🦋✨ For transformation. For creativity. For boldness and change. See you in 2023.

A kiss in the shadows by mairithetree
This piece is the first of a collection I intend to make :3 WLW romances set in different eras! My plan is to finish these illustrations for Christmas and to make prints out of them! I hope I’ll succeed. 
This one is set in the 1900s. The dresses were absolutely amazing in this time period ✨💕

The Sad Giant and The Herbalist Witch - 1/16 by mairithetree
First page of a full colors webcomic I’m preparing. It’s a fairy tale portraying a wlw relationship. It’s a story about healing, care, and breaking curses. I have strong hope it will be finished by the end of the year <3
The last panel is inspired by one of my favorite shot of Pride and Prejudice by Joe Wright : link
Take care folks <3 
Thank you @bladeofthenebula27 for helping me with the text UwU/

Burning bright like hope by mairithetree
Another watercolor illustration with the fire witch and her mercenary partner.
After long and tiring battles, her fire magic drains out of her body. She needs to regain some of her energy by absorbing external sources. Her partner lights her a fire each night so she can take in it. There are only the sounds of cracking wood, embers flying out, and animals lurking around. 
The atmosphere and colors are inspired by the paintings of Félix Vallotton <3 : link 
Between the pandemic, war raging in many countries, and climate change, it’s hard to live without being pessimistic and extremely anxious about the future. Especially, when all of it seems very unstable. 
Don’t lose sight of what you’re capable to do as an individual, what you can bring to others, how you can help them, and how you can bring joy to yourself as well. I hope this picture will bring you a spark of inspiration and hope.

Eclaireurs by mairithetree
First watercolor illustration of 2022 <3 I hope you’ll enjoy the new paintings I’m planning to do, folks <3 This time, I took the concept of the fire witch from last year and modified it a bit :3 Here she’s teaming up with another member of the mercenaries’ squad she belongs to. The armors and costumes are inspired by Italian Renaissance fashion.

Le portrait de Damien Loch by mairithetree
Another character of the writer Shan Millan : the enigmatic Damien Loch :3 He’s a very mysterious guy, not completely human, and hiding lots of secrets UwU The visual inspiration for this painting was the Russian painter Ilya Repine, bestiary of the Middle Ages in France and Art Nouveau <3 
French folks, if you want to know more about the fantastic universe of Shan Millan, go visit her Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/shanmillan/
Here is another link with a summary of the story this main character belongs to : https://www.babelio.com/livres/Millan-Damien-Loch/498212

I keep walking by mairithetree
A continuation of a series I started :3 The first pieces are here and here ! The same character keeps on going on her journey. She visits different places  <3  Here I wanted to feature a sense of serenity and awe in front of the vastness of the sea. 
She still has a long way to go to find the place she would feel the most comfortable. 
The main reference for this concept art is this photo : https://www.flickr.com/photos/jhaider/18425098200/ 
It has been photographed by Jonathan Haider :3

Kyoru-Sunflower by mairithetree
I have two moods for these two : sunny, soft, and sweet (while listening to   lo-fi playlists in the background) OR very emo and nostalgic (I’m preparing another fanart with that particular atmosphere. I want to see more emo fanarts featuring Kyo and Tohru. The kind of fanarts that give you the “ouch that hurts” feeling * _ * )
As you can see, Fruits Basket hasn’t left my mind; you can expect one or two to pop out in the future :3 
Have a nice evening Fruits Basket folks <3 :3 !

The moth messengers by mairithetree
Two originals I will send at Paris City Pop this 27 and 28 of November
It’s based on a dream I had where a big moth came to deliver me a poem written on a piece of paper (also I’ve rewatched some bits of Crimson Peak and a few black moths came one night in the flat I share with my roommates XD) 
The dresses are inspired by fashion around 1880 and 1890. I looked at the Tumblr @historicaldress and some dresses from the MET for reference <3 Have a good day, folks !
