I just read your last post! Congratulations! Wonder what House your kid will be sorted into? 🤣🤔

Aww thank you so much!! 🫶

I'm hoping for Hufflepuff obviously 💛 But if they're anything like their dad, they'll definitely be Slytherin 💚

Gryffindor or Ravenclaw is fine too ❤️💙

Any House will be lucky to have them! Only time will tell 🫣

[keri-mcberry]

Just wanted to say how happy your art makes me! It's like a Ray of sunshine on a rainy day. Please never stop blessing us with it!

Every day I check back in for more ☺️☺️☺️

Aww this is so sweet, thank youuu!! 🥹💕

I wish I had the energy to draw every day, but I'm always so tired now lol. Maybe once my schoolwork is done, I'll have more time to myself 🥰

[keri-mcberry]

Loveeee your work. Is there a chance you could draw more scenes of Lyla in her grief-stricken moment after Professor Fig? It's a motive not often used. Thx in advance. Your drawings are super duper cute~

Thank you so much!! I actually have a WIP about this topic! I can't stand seeing my bby all sad though, so I added a bit of a happy ending lol 😭💕

This ask brought me back to one of my older posts 🥺

[keri-mcberry]

You did your MC with longer hair but now I’m imagining she would be so feral for post hogwarts Sebastian with longer hair as well 😭😭

LMAO OMG this is such a funny idea 😂😭 I HAVE to draw this now!! She'd honestly be like:

[keri-mcberry]

OMG THIS IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL

I'm so in love with your art style! Clora and Lyla look so soft and elegant, and the color palette is gorgeous 😭💕

Big fluffy dresses are so much fun to draw. I need to draw them more often 🥹 AND I NEED TO WATCH BRIDGERTON. I'm always hearing about it but haven't gotten around to watching it yet 👀

Thank you so much for drawing Lyla! She looks absolutely stunning in your style 🫣💛

Ok I only have two reasons for this🧍‍♀️

1) it’s raining all day

2) I’m bingeing Bridgerton & I wanted to draw big fluffy dresses😭

I hope it’s ok that I borrowed Clora and Lyla for this😇🙏😙 tbh I drew the sketches underneath super fast & I wish I had spent more time on them but I was too excited to do the dresses jajajajajaja

Just giving everyone a heads up that I may not be as active since my husband and I are expecting our first child 🥹

I'll still be posting art and lurking, of course! I have so many WIPs that I plan on finishing before the kiddo arrives ✨

DIANAAA 😭💕

ALL OF THESE MCS LOOK SO AMAZING 🤩 Thank you so much for drawing Lyla and her adorable otter Patronus!! 🦦 And I really appreciate the kind words! It means so much to me 🥹🫶

Wanted to draw some of my favourite MCs for practice. This fandom is so inspiring! I thought that maybe I would try the MC drawing challenge, but while working on these, I realised that my drawing muscles are still too stiff. I will keep this idea in mind for the future when I warm up enough because I LOVE MCs!

Hellendil @theravenchild — I didn't have enough space for a thestral :( But I finally did him justice without dressing him in a uniform!

Elland @lil-grem-draws — Yes, I'm aware he's indifferent to sweets. It's for Will. Unless someone grabs it first.

Sally @siboom777 — It's the weirdest toy I could come up with XD Thanks again for drawing Chris!

Charlie @heyitszev — I really enjoyed this story [link to AO3], there are so many brilliant ideas!

Lyla @keri-mcberry — One of my biggest source of drawing inspiration. And the most adorable MC award goes to Lyla!

Ruth @phinik — I need more lore about her family curse! Also, seeing her and Ominis together in my feed makes me melt.

A Victorian Couple Trying Not To Laugh While Getting Their Portraits Done

My husband sent this picture to me the other day, and I thought it was the cutest thing ever! 😭💕

[keri-mcberry]

I promise to make at least ONE-TWO sets 👀

(for now)

I feel like I need a little disturbance from Disturbance *badum-tss*

[keri-mcberry]

Just Lyla hanging out with people after school and being a normal student for once 🥺

Shadow of the Mountain: Part 1

A fan comic I’ve wanted to do for fun and try give my take on sequence of events

One’ve my favourite main quests for the confrontational exchanges of Sebastian and MC, opening set up and with butchered dialogue to fit

I’ve been wanting to draw this for ages and as a challenge to myself in staging. initially I only panelled up to this point but I thought why not see it through to end. Also cannae be doing a goblin fight at the start, am saving the action for later. More to come

[keri-mcberry]

hello keri!! i adore your work sm lovely 😭💓💓 it's literally a breath of fresh air, im always scrambling over myself to see your posts and like and reblog whenever you come up on my dash!

i came here to ask what lyla's wand type is? personally, i always spend a lot of time deciding on wands for my wizarding world characters and wanted to know if others did the same. 🤭

anyway, have a great day!! xx

Omg that's so nice, thank you!! 😭💕 I would LOVE to talk about Lyla's wand! I actually started replaying the game recently (I couldn't make it until summer LOL) so I figured I'd show you in-game!

This is one of my favorite cutscenes in the entire game! It's so cute and whimsical 🪄✨

Lyla has a Spruce wand with a Phoenix feather core. The wandlore for this is that the owner is usually a "bold spell-caster with a good sense of humour" so I thought that fit Lyla perfectly 🤭💛

I spend a lot of time changing up her wand handle though LOL. I can never settle on one for too long, so I guess we're in the same boat in that regard 😅

Thank you for asking! I've been wanting to share this info 😍

[keri-mcberry]

AWW STAAAHP 😭😭😭 YOU'RE THE SWEETEST 🫵

This is such a nice post to see after a long, stressful day at work, thank you so much!! 🫂💕🥹

i’ve been having a rough go of it so i feel like hyping some beloved mutuals <3

@girl-named-matty is iconic and both an amazing writer + meme maker. also her modern/social media AU is so silly and fun ❤️

@plxnetn1ne takes PHENOMENAL in-game screencaps and you are doing yourself a disservice if you don’t look at them- both of the landscape and NPCs, they’re AMAZING!

@kerimcberry is SO sweet and her art is absolutely adorable. her MC lyla is also previous and she, imo, does soft sweet seb the BEST. just the sweetest 🥺

@rednite-dork is hands down one of the best artists in this fandom. not up for debate. i blame you for the chubby!seb agenda (and i mean that in the best way possible) seriously check out her work!

@little-emerald-snake is an angel. her writing is simply amazing, always high quality, and she writes for just about everything. if you have a rarepair you like she’s probably written it, and VERY well. i adore you!

[keri-mcberry]

CH-CH-CHOOOCCYYYYYY!!! 😭💖😍

THE WAY I DROPPED EVERYTHING I WAS DOING TO TYPE THIS OUT. GOODNESS GRACIOUS, LOOK AT ALL OF THESE GORGEOUS GOILS 😍💖

When you told me you were planning on drawing Lyla, I was SO EXCITED, AND GIRL YOU DELIVERED!! I LOVE THIS SO MUCH! LYLA LOOKS SO ADORABLE!! I WILL CHERISH THIS FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE 😭

THANK YOU SO MUCH! 🫂💕💕💕

another batch of MCs as thanks for drawing clora!!🧎‍♀️🙏TY AGAINNN I HAD A LOT OF FUN DRAWIN ALL UR CUTIES🥹💕 (in order: @kerimcberry / @noelles-legacy / @lara-kaminari @serpentsillusion / @slytherincursebreaker / @kaviary-blog @4ever2000lover / @bassicallymaestra )

[keri-mcberry]

WHOOOAAAAA!!! I am COMPLETELY IN AWE with the sheer amount of hard work you put into this project!! I can speak from experience when I say this is NOT an easy task! YOU ABSOLUTELY NAILED THIS!!👌

Thank you so much for including Lyla! 😭😭😭

I'm so sorry to have kept you all waiting on the requests, however I hope that now you see what I've been working on, you might understand why it took some time!! Especially when I've been working on this only in the evening, and while trying to keep my tiny human alive!

When I started this, it was originally a combination of requests/characters I really like! and somehow I ended up with 62 of them!! I'm hoping maybe in the future Ill revisit this, maybe try get 100?! But for now I'm glad to be able to take a break and start on other projects!!

This was really a labor of love, and I really hope you all like it as well! I did try my hardest to get as many details as I could, but I did take a few uniform liberty's here and there!! I hid a few little movie and game Easter eggs in there as well, let me know if you spot any!

And for those interested… Gryfindor - 12 Hufflepuff - 12 Ravenclaw - 15 Slytherin - 23

Natty: Have you seen Lyla? I’m worried about her, especially after what happened to Professor Fig.

Poppy: She’s painting rocks in our common room again…

Natty: …Oh no.

Lyla had a rough year. There may or may not have been an intervention in the Hufflepuff common room 😭

This is in reference to this ask I got about otters collecting “special rocks” LOL

[keri-mcberry]

Hello! ive always been a silent fan of your work (Lyla is just so LOVABLE! 💛 and your Seb is honestly a breath of fresh air - love soft!Seb) so ive decided to break my silence just to offer you these favorite facts i know of otters 💌🤭

Bawww thank you so much! It’s lovely to meet you 🥹💕

When I saw your ask, I IMMEDIATELY needed to draw out the second one! It’s so adorable 😭🦦

This is Lyla and Sebastian in their twenties! Lyla 100% holds Seb’s hand when she sleeps 💛💚

Also, imagining Lyla carrying around a “special rock” is so funny to me LMAO 💀 I will def be drawing that scenario too 😂
