your art makes me wanna overcome my issues and just start creating as well after decades of not being able to. anw, just wanted to say you're an inspiration to me < 3
Aaaa I support!! <3<3<3 I'm really glad I've been able to inspire you! At least in my opinion, creating stuff is always valuable — Art art been very therapeutic for me :0 When I was younger I had a lot of trouble getting myself started on making stuff, and I was very on and off with it, especially during more tempestuous times. It's been about...seven or eight years now since I decided to start drawing every day, and admittedly some days all I have time/energy for is stuff like this:
But to me it still counts! Even though most of the stuff I draw in my sketchbook never becomes a finished piece, and it's all very messy, it still helps my brain to create it. Even when I just end up making a page of vaguely dinosaur-like creatures and weird little beasts like these ones from recently lol
Anyway! That was a bit of a ramble, but most importantly: If you do decide to create again, I wish you the best of luck, anon! <3<3<3

Took me all week since I was using a new drawing program and I'm still learning digital art in general, but I made a Faeu Sona! haven't even made a reference sheet for my regular sona...
Anyways, this is Cricket! She doesn't have wings since she's a beast type fae but that doesn't slow her down. (I'm taking some liberties here, the point is she's not based on an insect.)
@owl-bones @antlered-prince I wanted to make something inspired by your au since it's so pretty already! I hope it's okay.
@sparticus2000art I though you might like seeing the finished product since we were chatting about it.
Transcript:
Nightmare: "I thought I told you not to come back. How'd you even get in?"
Cricket: *chuckles* "It's just so hard to stay away from you, handsome~"
Nightmare: *unamused* "Get out."
Cricket: *pathetically* "No... Please, let me love you!"
Facts and close ups under the cut!
She has multiple names but Cricket is her favourite name that she only reveals to very close friends. She considers this her true name.
She was actually a human once, but since she tended to be a kleptomaniac, it got her in a world of trouble. After getting caught stealing from, unbeknownst to her, a powerful fae, she became indebted to them and was cursed. Her unique stripes serve as a warning to others that she is a known thief and isn't to be trusted.
She hasn't learned her lesson, although she has gotten better at not getting caught. Occasionally, she'll make deals with unsuspecting mortals or new fae but most of the time she just takes what she wants.
She prefers small items, especially shiny ones, that won't be easily missed. Her pockets are often full of ill gotten trinkets and she's hesitant to part with any of them.
She also has a bad habit of breaking and entering. She's pretty much a nomad since most people don't like her and tend to get upset if their stuff goes missing. As such, she often sneaks into houses and other buildings to spend the night. Sometimes she gets away with it but a lot of times the resident has to chase her off.
She's very charismatic and will turn the charm up to 100 if she thinks she can get something from you or is in a bad spot. Most older fae can see this for what it is though - a distraction.
She's also a not-so-secret admirer of Nightmare, The King of Winter, although he doesn't return her affections, much to her dismay. Most of her time is spent simping plotting a way to get his attention, although no matter how hard she tries, his eye socket is always on someone else.
Every now and then she manages to find a way into his castle, usually by fooling newer fae in his court or by other means. She's technically banned and is thrown out whenever she's caught. She's also banned from the Summer court for obvious reasons.
