Woooofff... At first time I thought this picture was going to be a huge mess, but somehow I managed to fix it, and it got even better than I expected! I'm so happy to show it to you ^^

These are my OCs, Laerith and Niobhai. They're in spring, outdoors, assisting the Botany class in their Academy. When spring arrives, the students can go out to the fields to collect plants, organized in groups of two to four persons. These two always go together, as they're soooo BFF. It is dark out there because two races study in the Academy, and one is nocturnal, so classes start at 6 PM and end at midnight. Botany professors take advantage of the longer days of spring to teach the subject with the last hours of daylight. Those blue shiny things everywhere are... how it is said? Ignis fatuus? However, those magic beings who fly all over the place and try to get into your ears at the first chance.

Advice: Do not eat those white flowers unless you're really, really constipated.

Other works with Nio/Laerith


Thanks to for the textures ^^

Beautiful! I love their outfit designs and the way you drew the puffiness of the material! I also love the dark nocturnal colours and the motion in the whole piece, the foliage must have taken forever


I'll remember your advice lol

Do you have any of your story posted online? I love the unique characters you've come up with and would like to read them in action!

Oh thank you so much! Well, it isn't online. This summer I hope I'll finish the book so I can publish it *w*

Wow, they are both so beautiful! I adore your style.
However, if I had to nitpick, I would say that the hands are a bit too small, in my opinion (not that there's anything wrong with that. I too do very small hands for some reason :-P ) Also, the backround is really lovely. All in all, great painting!

Thank you!!
Oh, the hands. That's because we can't see the entire hands. The fingers are bended (Hidden under the cloth in the plants, or under the books), so they look smaller. A friend of mine told me the same thing, so it's my fault XD They look weird. Aaah little monsters with tiny hands!! XDDDD

Oh, okay, I get it Yeah, that happens to me too. There was a time when I ran away from drawing hands as if they were the plague because I couldn't do them right (in fact, I still can't :'-( ) But like I said, it was only a tiny detail, nothing more, the rest of the painting still looks stunning!
