Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!

I’ve been working on and off on this art challenge that I will be continuing until I finish them all despite the month lol

I’ve got an important commission set to finish before my birthday so my time for self indulgent art is lower than before.

We’ve seen Day 1 earlier this month but a cute first kiss between Fleur and Razer when she confessed her feelings to Razer.

Cha’l and Shiyoon sharing a morning kiss before beginning their day with all of their childlings ready to cause mischief lol. I imaging that the two stay in bed a few extra minutes to just enjoy each others company before their days truly begin lol

Next is Kiel and Sammi enjoying a well deserved date away from all their childlings. Azra is probably babysitting because she knows how to gets all the kiddos in line. Kiel and Sammi’s dates are always welcomed breaths of fresh air, enjoying the serenity and quite of the forest or shores, depending on the location.

The following are two characters no one except my bestie and sister would know, because they are Ocs from a story my sister and I were creating. The guy on the left is Tatsuya and the girl is Asphodel. They have a intense slow burn romance because like all stories with young adults, they are trying to prevent the end of the world. Normally Asphodel has much longer hair but I always intended to have her hair short before the big battle. Here the two share a final kiss before that battle because I imagine they confess to each other earlier.

Continuing on with OceanPetals, we have them trying to share a kiss but their itty bitty baby had a nightmare. So kissy time has to be put on hold lol. The romance isn’t lost for the new parents though! They sneak little pecks here and there. But when their precious treasure calls out for them, nothing else matters. A rare pencil sketch from me because my eyes have gotten pretty bad so I need to limit my screen time. A girl can spend hours and hours straight drawing a piece *cough cough* and searching the web lol

Finally, we have a younger Bhihaar and Maeve sharing a secret moment together. I need to figure out what Bhihaar’s lie is to his Xeric that makes it easy for him to sneak out without much suspicion. Maeve is conflicted because on one hand she doesn’t care what her parents think of the relationship. But, she also is deathly afraid of being disowned by them in these early romantic meet ups. Her wings are missing for the laziness I feel atm, I tried but my brain kinda shut off.

All of these pieces range in many coloring styles but certain ones I plan on prettying up like the first piece.

Razer, Shiyoon and Sammi belong to my dear friend @jack-toons and you can check out their work of them on their other account @myfanartblogplusshippingtrash

Zela the Charm Weaver

I know I don't have the most interesting OC, mainly due to my lack of confidence in drawing skills and the fact that I don't post about her much at all to begin with, but regardless if this gets any notes or not I want to share some things about my girl 💙💙

- Zela is a half-Stonewood Sifan (though I'm sure most people know that by now from my user lol)

- Her mother Lana is a Stonewood who officially joined the Sifa after marrying Zela's Sifan father Shal’un

- She is 20 trine old when the Resistance begins

- She has two younger siblings, her brother Mar (13) and sister Tida (Ty-da) (10)

- Despite the hectic lifestyle of the Sifa, Zela's family prefers a more relaxed, domestic living. They own a ship, of course, which they live in but it is more often tied-off in Cera-Na than out at sea

- This mainly has to do with a horrific accident when Shal’un was involved in a shipwreck while on a voyage with friends during his younger trine. He was the only survivor, and hasn't been too far out on the Silver Sea since

- He still provides for his family and clan as a fisherman

- Zela found a keen interest in Sifan charms early on in life; she loves jewelry, especially the kind that holds special meaning to Gelfling

- She enjoys crafting intricate Sifan charms, even making personalized ones for her friends, family and occasionally any Sifans when her work catches their eyes, as long as they're willing to pay (the Sifa do nothing for free, after all)

- Zela usually tries to avoid much social interaction with most Sifa, especially strangers, because here's the thing: she's a selective mute

- This sort of trait is rare among the Sifa (and Gelfling in general), making Zela the target of more teasing than feels acceptable.

- There's no major reason for her being mute, she's just more reserved and prefers not to speak

- She basically gets a lot of crap for not being a "true Sifa" because of her meekness and the fact that her family doesn't participate in the super adventurous ways of the Sifa. Not to mention she doesn't have soothsaying or Far-Dreaming abilities of any kind, so she has been more often than not referred to as a "dud"

- Despite this, she lets her mother "bless" her charms (even though Lana obviously has no sense of Far-Dreaming, soothsaying or any form of Sifan magic either), because it makes her feel a little better

- Though Zela is proud of her heritage on both sides, she often questions her identity and how she fits into either clan beyond her general appearance

- She is reminded why when exploring the beaches and cliff sides of the Coast near Ha'rar and Cera-Na, when she looks out to the sea and feels the welcoming ocean winds. She feels that she's home.

- She still struggles from time to time, of course, regarding her muteness; although she could speak if she wanted to, she doesn't, and it makes her feel less worthy of having friends

- However, she does find comfort in the small friend group she has, the closest being Azra and Fleur (who belong to @thanatasia <3 )

- Zela has a drastically different personality from either of them, but they are super accepting of her choice to be silent and love her for who she is

- She's super close with Azra because both of them know what it's like to be deemed the "odd ones out" in their clan. They usually spend their time crafting mysterious charms and potions together. This becomes especially fun (if a bit terrifying at times) whenever Shiyoon (who belongs to @myfanartblogplusshippingtrash <3 ) comes around. Nothing but pure chaos ensues but Zela always finds herself getting involved every single time.

- Let’s just say the only sound heard from her in years was a scream.

- She became friends with Fleur during a visit to Stone-in-the-Wood while visiting family. Fleur came to her defense when a particularly rude Stonewood chided her for not speaking and made remark about her belonging to the Dousan more so than the Sifa or Stonewood, telling her to go back to the “Desert of Death”. Fleur just happened to be sitting nearby when this happened and you can guess what happened from there

- In spite of her flaws and shyness, Zela is one of the kindest, loving Gelfling you will ever meet. She may not be able to say it, but she cares deeply for those closest to her. <3

I hope one day I can finally be satisfied with my drawing style and post my own portraits of her. Until then, you can admire the drawings and sketches done by @myfanartblogplusshippingtrash (latest one in my icon) and @thanatasia !

POV: this post is gonna hit the nostalgia for some of you lol

This series is an ode/friendship letter to 2007 - 2012 AMVs but with a Gelfling twist lol One of these Gelfs is listening to Cascada- we all know which song lol

Only six so far. Idk who will be the cut off but I know who is gonna be in the next bunch!

I had come back from Anime NYC when I sat at a pizzeria that played; Pain by Three Days Grace and when I tell you my nostalgia ignited- I remembered the early days of YouTube (the anime side of it) and the thousands of AMVs my sister and I would watch. Then I also remembered those iPod anime compilations some people posted where it mimicked the iPod ads and used silhouettes of said characters.

OMG the music! The AMVs with the ICONIC songs of the genre and era of early internet anime fandom. The endearing moviemaker watermarks, filters, and transitions. Fanart used without the artist’s knowledge or consent. A lot of dance pop. I was thrown back and it only continued when my sister and I reminisced and listened to some of our favorite AMV songs.

What a marvelous time. Literally any song/most songs you typed in would have an amv, or a slideshow. I believe many of the AMVs my sister and I watched are either deleted, privated or taken down for copyright. The worst is a, Nightwish Sleeping Sun AMV that was BEAUTIFUL sad but well paced, but I believe it’s gone because I can’t find it anymore.

Present day AMVs are good- I saw a recent one for Demon Slayer S2 that was chef’s kiss. The crisp animation makes them more epic compared to the charming but also kinda wonky animated clips in AMVs of anime before 2010-ish.

This was also a mini test to see how recognizable some of my Ocs are when they’re just a silhouette. I’m gonna tag their names below but for funsies in my long description I won’t name them although the placement of a few of them is gonna give it away lol

2 of these Ocs belong to my dear friend @jack-toons / @myfanartblogplusshippingtrash Again, I think we can all tell who they are because 1) their characters have strong silhouettes. And 2) the Gelfling they’re next to give it away lol

[thanatasia]

I wanted to ask, what kind of character is Azra?

Does she have a story behind her, personality, likes and dislikes, what?

Old sketch of Azra!

Azra is a Sifan soothsayer, herbalist, and "witch." Mostly a witch because that's what she prefers to be called....but not many gelfling take too kindly to that title.

She learned much of her talents from her paternal grandmother, who she calls Gran.

Both of her parents died while on an expedition when she was a childling. As a result, she fears the open sea and boarding ships. Unlike many/all Sifa who journey the open seas, Azra stays on land concocting potions and charms. She's quite popular amongst gelfling looking to get revenge on a former lover.

Azra is most famously known for her "odd" behavior of enjoying all things creepy, grotesque, and scary. Not too many gelfling genuinely enjoy her company, but she doesn't care. She has her soul sister, Shiyoon who belongs to my friend @jack-toons

Her personality is kinda hard for me to describe. She's laid back and chill, but she has her creepy antics that make her appear "weird," but she's a fun lass to be around once she's deemed someone her friend.

Azra dislikes loud gelfling, so she avoids big parties and taverns. Although she has a great love for her friends and family, Azra does not have time for romantic love. She's not interested in it and is happy to be single!

Azra has two pet giant centipedes who are named Goldie and Sawtooth. They are her babies and she speaks about them like any pet parent lol

I hope this gives a bit of insight on Azra. She's one of my favorite Ocs- lol I have so many but I love them all.

My (very late) 2021 Big Gelfling/Podling Oc Project!

From the top row, left to right:

@rubyonearth Oc, an Denju from _r0b0crazylady on IG, Shiyoon! @jack-toons / @myfanartblogplusshippingtrash (I had to add Shiyoon, the sisters-in-law needed to be together lol) , Delta and Kasari @everadream , and Miethra @tamiry-the-bonobo

From the bottom row, left to right

Velan @smaaenart , Adara from Imapinkwriter on IG, Bora @yellowtribalwolf , Fleur (moi), So’nan @feusus , Pippa hubermanproject on IG and Esmeray @skekheck

Thank you to everyone who took part in this and let me draw your Ocs. If there’s one thing I love most about TDC fandom is the Ocs so many artists and writers come up with. Like, it makes the world of Thra so much more beautiful and lively. Everyone has some really beautifully designed Ocs and I had so much fun drawing them!

I have my 2022 version in the works which should be posted around the holiday season.

[thanatasia]

Happy Valentine’s/True Love’s Day

Here we have the wonderful and dear ships @jack-toons and I have; EnchantedSandstorms, OceanPetals, and WanderingSails. As well as introducing EnchantedSandstorms’ childling, Iry ,and WanderingSails childling, Zuri.

What most of these kisses have in common are that they are from romance movies my mom introduced to me lol EnchantedSandstorms are doing the end kiss from, Titanic. OceanPetals are doing a kiss from, Tristan’s and Isolde. And WanderingSails are doing a kiss from, The Notebook.

I imagine that these kisses happen when the pairs have been reunited after a long while. Especially EnchantedSandstorms and OceanPetals because neither Shiyoon nor Fleur join Cha’l or Razer on their voyages. Or maybe Shiyoon does, she gets along with Captain Sera lol. Fleur is afraid of big open water. The closest she’ll get to a boat ride is a small boat ride on the river or not far from the docks.

I think WanderingSails’ kiss might be their first kiss as an official couple because the two of them hung out a lot after meeting. They also weren’t shy of stealing a few kisses with one another.

OR! This is everyone’s first kiss that was shared out in public.

Iry and Zuri is referenced from the kiss in the movie, My Girl. I have never seen this movie though. The kiss between these two is probably Zuri saying that they should give each other their first kiss so they don’t give their first kiss to someone who they regret. Or maybe that was the plan but Zuri got the jitters and stopped it. Iry and Zuri have an interesting friendship, especially since their personalities are so different.

I love these ships! They are too precious and aahhh their stories are so good!

Shiyoon, Razer and Sammi belong to Jack-toons and you can see them all on their dark crystal page @myfanartblogplusshippingtrash

Both Iry and Zuri belong to the both of us

I hope you all enjoy today and enjoy that discounted chocolate tomorrow!

Happy Halloween/Thralloween everyone!

I hope everyone had a fun and safe celebration. To celebrate the festivities I share with you all OceanPetals, EnchantedSandstorms and WanderingSails all dressed up in cosplay.

I included the reference photos for the side by side of the originals. For some reason I couldn’t find a nice official Haruhi and Kyon full body to redraw (everything was fanart or the entire S.O.S Brigade) but I loved the pose from this cosplay.

Fleur and Razer are dressed up as Minmay and Hikaru from “Macross: Do you remember Love?”

Cha’l and Shiyoon are dressed up as Kyon and Haruhi from “Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya”

Sammi and Kiel are dressed up as Nezuko and Zenitsu from “Demon Slayer”

I could go on and on about why each is dressed in each costume but we’d be here all day lol

It all boils down to conversations me and @jack-toons had about our ships, anime, and modern au! EnchantedSandstorms being Haruhi/Kyon was my idea because Shiyoon loves anime and I remember when “Haruhi Suzumiya” was really big. I really like these cute sketches of the ships decked out in their best cosplays!

Fleur, Cha’l and Kiel belong to me

Razer, Shiyoon and Sammi belong to Jack-toons and you can find their art of them on @myfanartblogplusshippingtrash

[thanatasia]

A quick chibi drawing of Fleur and all the Gelfling who have become friends with her! Holy moly is there a lot!

Let’s pretend a majority of the Gelfling in the back are standing on a tree stump or log. Shiyoon and Mothria are the exception since they’re tall lol

From the top row from left to right;

Bora who belongs to my bestie @yellowtribalwolf

Thea who belongs to my friend @_nukamira_ on IG

I meant to post this earlier but I forgot and was overthinking something.

Anywho~ seeing all of these characters together makes me so happy! Thank you all for drawing, writing and talking about interactions between your Ocs and Fleur. They truly make my day so much brighter and definitely makes me want to draw more friendship drawings!

I hope you all enjoy this little piece!

[thanatasia]

Thought I’d share a low-rez and filter-fied version of the entire Stonesan family so far! My first of two gifts to my very good friend, @jack-toons

I’m also very proud of it and thought it’d be cool for everyone to see the family thus far since I’ve been M.I.A since Halloween lol

I said we’d see all of the EnchantedSandstorms childlings before OceanPetals’ baby and here they are! Cha’l and Shiyoon have 5 childlings in total. Iry is their oldest son and sitting next to his father. Keziah belongs to @everadream and she is at the bottom left in the front. Zipporah and Anasi are the fraternal twins in the center and youngest son Pratt on the bottom right with the mask. The other childlings named belong to Jack-toons and myself. I’ll make a proper post introducing them when my schedule frees up, they are a fun bunch!

Starting with Fleur and moving to the right we have excited parents-to-be Fleur and Razer. Cha’l and Shiyoon embracing in the center. This next one hurt lol, older Ofir! He is giving rabbit ears to his brother and father. Maeve and Bhihaar are leaning close together and Razer’s mom, Fiona, is at the end giving Bhihaar a second pair of rabbit ears. (A stand-in design for now. Prepare to see some Mom friend silliness because I want to sketch some Maeve and Fiona shenanigans lol)

All that’s missing is Jujubee and the newest member to be born! Such a big happy family, I love them so much 😭

Shiyoon, Razer and Fiona all belong to Jack-toons and you can see Shiyoon and Razer on their art page @myfanartblogplusshippingtrash

[thanatasia]

My sweet ships with the wonderful @myfanartblogplusshippingtrash

Our ships are so sweet and wholesome and I just think they’re all so neat and adorable!

Cha’l, Fleur and Kiel belong to me.

Shiyoon, Razer and Sammi belong to them.

Together the ships make the sacred trinity, EnchantedSandstorms, OceanPetals and WanderingSails

When I say I step closer and closer to making comics of them, I mean it. There’s so much to draw!

[thanatasia]

Here are some EnchantedSandstorms sketches I hadn’t shared with everyone.

The first is a panel from a 3 panel comic on Shiyoon showing her appreciation for Cha’l’s “unique” singing voice.

The second is Cha’l stumbling upon the soul sisters Shiyoon and Azra. He’s crying because the best and most powerful concoctions are always the smelliest and the ingredients make him a bit nauseous lol

As always Shiyoon belongs to @myfanartblogplusshippingtrash

[thanatasia]

Another IG questions Story! With Razer and Shiyoon who belong to @myfanartblogplusshippingtrash I love these ships

Viara is a sweet bean and she is happy that her Stonesan friends and *cough cough Kiel* are in such loving relationships!

Lol Cha’l and Shiyoon are giants so EnchantedSandstorms are the tol couple and OceanPetals are the smol couple lol

[thanatasia]

Happy Halloween!!!!

This is my Halloween shipping art (and the grand unveiling to Cha’l and Fleur’s true loves to everyone who doesn’t know) of Cha’l x Shiyoon (EnchantedSandstorms) and Fleur x Razer (OceanPetals)

Shiyoon and Razer belong to @jack-toons & @myfanartblogplusshippingtrash

EnchantedSandstorms and OceanPetals ship names were created by @deetcore

Cha’l and Shiyoon are dressed as a Ghost Pirate and Siren, very fitting of the two of them lol. Fleur and Razer are dressed as a Sexy Bee and Sexy Flower, they’re sexy and they know it lol.

These ships make me soft and they are way too adorable!!! This is the beginning to seeing more of these happy couples!

[thanatasia]

In Thra, this month belongs to Azra and her best friend Shiyoon who belongs to @myfanartblogplusshippingtrash / @jack-toons They’re two spooky girls and they love it! This sketch was made a while ago but I wanted to post it up because it fits with October and Halloween.

In a modern AU I imagine them singing the “Hex Girls/I’m a Hex Girl” song by the Hex Girls from Scooby Doo lol

Azra’s eyes are normally not as wide as the bottom sketch. They get like that when anyone asks for curses, she’s talking about odd/gross things or she’s babying her 2 pet giant centipedes.

[thanatasia]

Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers/mother figures of our lives.

This took me so long to complete but here it is!

From the top we have Maeve kissing Ofir goodnight. He’s her youngest and her little prince. Ofir makes Maeve feel young and she loves raising a young childling again!

Captain Sera can’t have childlings so all of her crewmates see her as a mother figure, especially the ones who are without any parental figures. She later learns of another way of having a childling of her own thanks to WanderingSails, but for now she is content with her found family of crewmates.

Azra didn’t grow up with either parents because they had died during a fatal ship wreck. Her grandmother is the closest Gelfling she has to a biological mom. The two of them are super close and she gets to see a side to Azra very few Gelfling get to see.

Quinta belongs to @nurloxx and Kenai is her loving boyfriend. The baby in her arms is her little sister Zora, who sees Quinta and Kenai as her parents. I love their relationship so much!

Shiyoon and Cha’l have already begun their big family lol The childling on top of Cha’l’s shoulders is Keziah who belongs to @everadream EnchantedSandstorms has some of the most mischievous childlings and their family is so entertaining.

Fleur and Razer are the happy parents to their Tumbeloth, Jujubee! There's another Tumbeloth they have named Fabio (Jujubee's mate) but I couldn't fit him in nicely. We'll see what the future holds for them, 👀

And finally we have Sammi and Kiel who have created a found family. Here Sammi is teaching they and Kiel's adopted daughters how to fly. Kiel is here because this is a moment Kiel didn't want to miss (the boys are being watched by Azra lol) and he can't pass up the chance of getting flown in Sammi's arms (it's not everyday the smol can look down on from high heights lol) WanderingSails also has a lively family and we will definitely be seeing them! In this piece they're with Zuri (Spriton), Ula (Sifa) and Cinder (Grottan)

Shiyoon, Razer and Sammi all belong to @jack-toons / @myfanartblogplusshippingtrash

[thanatasia]

May I introduce my Drenchen Gelfling Rizzi and Kenai! Also a colored Ofir (Bhihaar’s genes are strong and only Cha’l came out looking like a mix of both he and Maeve lol)

Rizzi is a sweet Childling who loves flowers and animals as well as taking part in many sports activities! She and Ofir become friends prior to the events in AoR. They hit it off really well and enjoyed playing around during his and EnchantedSandstorm’s visit to the Swamp of Sog. The second image is what she and Ofir look like as teenlings when they reconnect during the Garthim Wars.

Kenai is a super chill guy who is a musician and his preferred instrument are the drums, which he plays throughout the day at the Great Smerth. When he’s not on his shift, he’s at home getting high as a kite or creating tunes to show off to his friends. He is one of Shiyoon, who belongs to @myfanartblogplusshippingtrash , ex boyfriends but the two of them are still friends. He’s shorter than the average Drenchen but he makes it work lol

Thank you @nurloxx for Rizzi’s name and if the person who suggested Kenai’s name is here on Tumblr, please let me know so I can tag you in this post! Thank you to the both of you for helping me out, I love these names!

I hope you all like these two!
