#handpainted pets

[lainyart]

Trying something new! Pastel pieces on real wood slices.... And let me start by saying, I've been having a blast creating them! I started with family pets - like my brother's husky Boomer. And my sister's piggy Poppy 🖤 I've got several more to share already, I've been enjoying them so much and I hope I get to draw some of your pets on them too! They're available on my Etsy or you can send me a message to get started!

this call is coming from inside the house // zhou guanyu

summary: y/n shows zhou one of her favourite small town fall traditions. it’s a shame that they can’t find their way out.

pairing: zhou guanyu x female! reader

warnings: getting lost in a corn maze, reader tells a story about how she failed her driving test the first time (but she passed the second time! that is what matters), brief talk about past regrets

i once fell in love, and it was gas…soon found out I had a heart of glass

she hummed along to the blondie song playing in the radio, pandora charms clinking into each other as she tapped on the steering wheel, her lovers hand resting gently on her thigh as they drove down the old country laneway.

“and there’s where I failed my driving test the first time. i still can’t park for shit.”

zhou laughed, gently rubbing his thumb in circles on her thigh. “babe, i hate to break this to you, but you still can’t park.”

“oh, fuck you.” she feigned offence, turning down a side street. “i have a backup camera now, my reverse parking has gotten so much better.”

she never thought she’d be here; showing the love of her life around the town where she grew up, introducing him to her parents. she’d come a long way from the shy, timid seventeen year old she was, grown into an outgoing, lively twenty-two year old.

and zhou was everything she could have ever asked for. he treated her like a queen every minute of every day, made her feel like she was alive, truly alive. he was her safe haven.

all it had taken for the two to meet was a chance trip to miami. y/n and her friends couldn’t get tickets to the gp, so they’d impulsively signed up to volunteer on race day. zhou had been in her car for the drivers parade, and he asked her out after the race that night. they had never looked back.

she pulled off the street and into the parking lot, indicator ticking in the background as she circled the parking lot, looking for somewhere to park the car.

“love, you might need to parallel park here.” zhou frowned, looking around for spaces. “the lot is packed.”

y/n cursed, lining up her car to parallel park into the only opening in the gravel lot. “god, please don’t watch this shitshow.”

with a laugh, her boyfriend covered his eyes, allowing his girlfriend to painstakingly put the car in reverse and back into a spot, eyes roving between the backup camera and the blind spot mirrors. her shitty parallel parking had been one of the reasons she’d failed her test in the first place.

finally parked, the couple stepped out of the red jetta, holding hands as they walked towards the farm entrance. they passed under a large orange sign proclaiming the farms official name, groups of excited children running back and forth over the grass, paper cups of apple cider in their hands.

she had worked there for three summers, and two falls, setting up the u-pick orchards and picking berries for the farmers market. and in the fall, she had the best task of all: helping plot the course for the corn maze.

the maze's path had barely changed in all the time that y/n had lived there, and there was something so quintessentially small town about it that reminded her just how different her upbringing was from zhou's

"babe, you've gotta be five pumpkins tall to go in the maze without an adult." zhou joked, pointing at the handpainted height sign: five cartoon pumpkins stacked on top of each other.

"you're lucky i love you." she laughs, putting her arms around her lower back and resting her cheek on his shoulder.

"i love you, too." he hummed, pressing a chaste kiss to her forehead before wrapping his arm around her shoulders and venturing into the maze.

there was something magical about corn mazes, almost as if they existed in liminal space. the soft fall breeze carried with it the smell of grass, the odors from the petting zoo nearby and the apple cider stand by the entrance. her heart swelled with love as zhou took her hand in his, softly guiding her through the first corner of the maze.

"it's usually a left here." she hummed, pointing a black fingernail towards a bend in the path. "many things about this maze have changed over the years, but never this corner."

"it's no fun if you already know the way." he laughed, following y/n down the bend. "where's the guess work?"

"um, i'd rather leave the maze in one piece."

zhou squeezed her hand reassuringly as they turned left, boots crunching over the leaves underfoot as they walked, jacket sleeves pulled over their hands. "walk on the wild side with me, babe. i'm not going to let you die in a corn maze."

"fine." she sighed, slowing her walk as they approached another fork in the path. "three paths, i'll let you choose."

she knew that this portion used to go straight through the middle, but that it had been changed to the right hand pathway. and of course, her lovely boyfriend had picked the left hand path, and she had to bite her lip to stop the protest bubbling in her throat.

she was supposed to be having fun, not worrying about dying in the maze with no food or water. there was cell signal, so she could always call her brother if worst came to worst.

the passage was narrow, only wide enough for one person to walk comfortably, so she drifted behind zhou, still holding his hand. the wind ruffled his dark hair, and he looked back at her with a fond smile. she blew him a kiss, gripping his hand and wrist as they exited the passageway.

when there was enough space for them to stand side by side again, she moved to stand next to him, placing one hand on his smooth, soft skin and angling his head towards hers before she leaned in to kiss him softly.

"thank you for sharing this with me. i know coming back here wasn't easy for you." zhou said softly, wrapping his arms around her.

"it's not that it wasn't easy, i do love it here, with my parents, and with my brother . . . but i don't really have much left here, all of my good friends are out in the city, and i met them in college. it brings back some memories that i'm not so proud of."

zhou rubbed his thumbs along her sides, leaning down to kiss her forehead. "i know, sweetheart. i know."

she kissed him again, sighing into his kiss. "i love you."

"love you more."

there was a rustle behind them, followed by voices as another group of tourists pushed through the maze. zhou tugged on her arm, pulling her around another, more secluded corner. it was a dead end, but that didn't matter when zhou pulled her in for another kiss.

"what'd you do that for?" she chuckled, looping her arms around his neck.

"wanted to kiss you some more."

public displays of affection had never been zhou's thing. he was so calm and reserved and shy, and the idea of being so vulnerable where other people could see it made his skin itch. things like hand holding, and an arm around the shoulders, a gentle kiss on the forehead were normal, but he was very shy about kissing in public.

she kissed him back, lips curving up into a smile. his lips were soft and warm against her cold skin, his hands cradling her body.

he made her feel so goddamn loved.

"zhou, sweetie?" she hummed, giggling as he kissed her hairline. "i think you got us lost."

"no i didn't. i know exactly how we ended up here." zhou frowned, looking around the dead end space. "it was just through here." he dropped her hand, walking back the way they came. "but i'm not sure where to go from here."

"is that not what i just said?' y/n laughed, coming up beside him and looping her arm around his. "you should have listened to me."

"we should have dropped breadcrumbs."

"come on, i think i know how to get us out of here." she giggled, grabbing his hand. "maybe it's time you let me take the lead."

zhou followed her, a lovestruck look on his face as he watched y/n pick her way back the way that they came, and then down the cetner path.

when that path eventually got them turned around as well, all zhou could do was laugh.

"you were saying?"

"shut up. do you remember how we got here?"

it was a sheer miracle that they found their way out before sundown, but they managed, the sun low in the sky as they emerged triumphantly from the mouth of the maze, y/n's arms pumping up and down in triumph. zhou reached for her hand, pulling her in for a quick kiss when he was certain that nobody could see them.

"you're a genuis, babe." he gushed, draping his jacket over her shoulders. "now, do you want the petting zoo or the apple cider?"

"why not both? we have all night before the maze changes over to the haunted house experience."

"you mean we have to go through that thing again? but this time with animatronics and men in costumes?"

"um, of course! but we know the way through this time!"

he laughed as he squeezed her shoulder.

"you're lucky i love you."

Completed pet portrait. This commissioners companion rock pidgeon was lovingly handpainted on a windstone pyo rock dragon.

They’ve already had this piece for a while. I just like showing the wip lead up to the finals.

Porter Geiss is one of of my favourite one off characters from Monster High so I feel a bit compelled to make various versions of him in a What If situation. One of the designs I've been mulling over is a swim class/Beach fashion for him.

His shorts and tank top are Creatable World pieces but altered by me. For his shorts I added a draw string make from twisting up some thread into a cord and adding them to give them some more detail, while I removed the graphic from his tank top and handpainted my own design.

The design is of Porter's cancelled pet Racoon Huebert with a graffiti style look to it.

I also added some zinc style patches on his face as a fun detail.

For his hair, I have very similar wavy hair as his basic doll, but when I go swimming my hair becomes wild and curly, so I decided it would be fun to give him a messy curly hair do.

humbug. i was going to get a cast sculpture cat urn from an etsy artist until i noticed that alongside all their expensive and stylistically consistent animal sculpture, they have dirt cheap clearly AI pet portraits sold as ''no photoshop, handpainted''. i'm not buying expensive sculpture from someone who lies about their affordable options.

prompt 004 - the offering she deserves. tw: abuse mention, death mention

"it is important to leave open a pathway between yourself and your parent." after chiron's speech about offering something to their parents, it kept ringing in the back of his mind, how was he supposed to offer something to someone he had never met? harley immediatly went down to the stables to watch the horses and pegasai for inspiration, he knew what his mother liked, he had done so much research on her when he first arrived, he just had to find a way to make an offering that was along his wavelength. inspiration hit when he was petting one of the horses heads, he jogged backto his cabin and started preparing what he had to do for his offering, he'd spent the entire night in his cabin preparing his offerings, he missed lunch and dinner, he had been way too focused on this. by the time he finishes and leaves to go to the temple, it was pitch black outside and there was no one around, he had no idea what time it was, he just knew he needed to do this before he changed his mind.

when he enters the temple, it's mostly empty, maybe one of demigod making an offering to their godly parent, he waits until they've left before he decides to go to hera. harley had waited until it was the quietest before he came to make his own offering, he didn't want judging eyes on him. the brunette slowly approached his mothers statue, the only sound in the temple was the sound of his footsteps on the marble floor. once he arrived before hera, he sank down to his knees in front of his large, imposing statue, he felt so small and inadequite beneath the queen of gods statue. harley laid a beautiful basket of fruit and wine beneath his mothers alter, the basket decorated in beautiful peacock feathers and two beautiful handpainted gold roses on either side of the basket. tucked into the back of the basket of fruit was a letter he had handwritten himself for hera, he had no idea if she was even going to read it, but he wanted to find a way to talk to his mother without his fellow demi-gods hearing.

hey mum, or hera, i guess, or queeni don't know what you want me to call you. but lets go with hera for now. to be safe.

i know you like poems and songs written about you and this isn't one. i hope this letter is just as good. i'm not really a great writer, or the best at getting my emotions out. so forgive me for that, but it is pure and from the heart and i think that's what matters, right?

i hope i've done you proud so far and not embarassed you too much. i'm trying, i really am. i know i wasn't the most faithful or dedicated son when i came here, i just didn't know how to be faithful to a mother who was never there for me, or help me when my own father was beating the crap out of me on the daily and belittle me. or when he killed my earthly mother and tried to kill me, or when my sister hated me and was blaming me for her death? where were you then? i sure could have used your motherly love then. so please tell me how was i supposed to to worship and praise someone who let me go through all of that alone?

i had so much anger that you didn't show up for me, or help me. i still do, i guess. but i'm trying, i really am, but this is so hard, this is whole thing is a shock to the system, i'm learning. just give me time. but i did want to say thank you, thank you for choosing me to be your son, your heir, thank you for giving me my gifts. i hope i continue to do you proud and hope one day to be worthy of being your spawn and get to meet you.

your prettiest son, harley

had his letter turned out a little angrier than he had meant it to? maybe, he hadn't realised how much anger he had for hera, but could he really be blamed? how was he supposed to feel when his mother the goddess of family refused to be a mother to him and let him go through so much pain for so long? the young godling eyes flicked up to look at her statue, his own bright blue eyes finding his mothers own stone ones, searching for something there, searching for her. he couldn't help but think he was betraying his earthly mother by being here and doing this, it was one of the many reasons he was having such a hard time communicating with hera.

"i praise you bright and noble hera, great lady of olympus, gracious queen of the deathless gods, dark-eyed goddess, fairest of the children of rhea, graceful and comely, cloaked in the starry skies, garlanded in poppies fragrant and blood-red, crowned in brightest gold, the lotus wand in your hand, your form ever draped in the finest of silks, majestic one whose blessing is sought by all, whose gifts are treasured, whose favor is a surety of good fortune. accept my offerings."

after a few moments of bowing his head in prayer the his godly mother, harley pulled himself to his feet, giving the queens statue one final glance, before he wastaking a step back away from the statue, just waiting. waiting for a sign to know if hera was there. he didn't know if the goddess was even going to accept his offering or was going to strike him down where he stood in anger at his words in his letter, but she wanted a offering and this was what she was going to get. take it or leave it.

👩🏻‍❤️‍👨🏾, 👶🏻, 👕, ☠️!

Thank you for the ask!

👩🏻‍❤️‍👨🏾 What was your first kiss like?

Innocent. It was on a bus on a school trip with a boy I'm still friends with, who was my first little boyfriend.

👶🏻 If you had a kid (or a pet, if you don't want kids), what would you name it?

For a kid: Noah for a boy. Nora for a girl.

For a pet, I would love a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever in the future, a female I'd name Tauriel lol

👕 What is the weirdest thing in your closet?

Tincos! They're collectible limited edition toy-art designed by a Brazilian artist and while the pieces are industrially made, they're all handpainted. They're all in their respective little boxes in my closet because I haven't figured out where to place them yet. Just bought the new one last night hehehe

☠️ What is your worst habit?

Procrastination, by far. And biting the skin around my nails when I'm anxious.
