Rothvir’s outfit for the @danse-macabre-masqball! It looks like it’s going to be tons of fun. Also, this coloring style was very inspired by @kottkrig, their coloring is so so lovely I wanted to try it for myself!
Uuh… right now I can’t think of anything particularly with Faes but…
Uprooted by Naomi Novik is a gorgeous piece of art and I totally recommend it, it doesn’t have faes but it’s one of my inspirations!
The Winternight Trilogy by Katherine Arden: fairytale-like and Russian folklore! Def another of my inspirations!
Mahou Tsukai no Yome by Yamazaki Kore. It’s a manga but it’s a HUUUGE INSPIRATION, with Faes and magic and Celtic folklore, the art is gorgeous, the characters are lovely and the story is just enthralling!! I feel like reading it gives you a better hindsight on Stories of Qelt haha >u>”
With Hat Atelier by Kamome Shirahama. Another manga which inspired me a heckton, and the art is beautiful!! I totally recommend it!
Aria/Aqua series by Kozue Amano is not exactly a manga but it has some supernatural elements which make the whole story (gorgeously drawn, wholesome and makes you fall in love with the little things in life) even more enthralling.
The Kingkiller Chronicle by Patrick Rothfuss mentions Faes (I only read the first book for now tho) and is beautifully written. I’m in a period where I’m getting tired of traditional medieval fantasy so I didn’t expect myself to be so taken by the book and to finish it so fast!
AND ANY BOOK BY BRANDON SANDERSON, WHOSE EXISTENCE REASSURE ME EVERYTIME I GET ANOTHER IDEA FOR A NEW PROJECT BECAUSE THAT MAN IS WRITING SEVERAL 800+ PAGES BOOKS AT THE SAME TIME (also writes beautiful non-traditional fantasy with amazing characters and well-crafted magic systems)
That’s all I can think for now! I did read some other book with faes but the only one I can remember, I didn’t really like it >_>” and for now I don’t remember any titles… shame on me.
If anyone else has recommendations for good fae books, feel free to shoot me an ask!!
The First Watcher of the North was a favorite among many. Azazel’s beauty and kindness were a thing of legend. He taught mankind to forge swords, handling both his hammer and his blade with equal grace. And though he loved mankind, he feared them as well. This was their land. He had tread upon it without invitation. A stranger. He was many wonderful things, but he was not human. https://www.angelarium.net/grigori/#/azazel-angel-of-sacrifices/ — Thanks to all my subscribers on Patreon for making this series possible!

In January 2017, for the beginning of the Chinese Year of the Fire Rooster, I did this painting (of which you can see a step-by-step in my previous post)
