It is @antivan.bsky.social ‘s character
Panel 1: a miqote with purple hair and black claw nails licking his open palm while staring at the viewer.
Panel 2: a progression of the same, with his tongue dragging on the fingers now, head angled differently but still not breaking eye contact.
Panel 3: a small pic of the miqote using the wet hand to groom his ear like a cat, with his tongue stuck out.

This was drawn for a fandom calendar project in 2022, shipping Trainer Red and Green Oak from the Pokémon game-verse. #reguri
Red and Green (adult) run to take shelter from a sudden rain shower in Alola, on their honeymoon. Large purple storm clouds loom overhead and mountains slope in the background; rain rendered as clusters of small lines dots the page. Some wild pokemon like rockruff and alolan vulpix stand around, while the trainers’ pokemon pikachu, pyukumuku, eevee, and pidgeot run with them. Green is holding a black and white jacket over Red as they run, and a gold band is visible on his left ring finger. The whole illustration is largely rendered in lineless shapes with some shading.

I counted up all the brushes I used for these and it was coming out to like 14 per piece on average not counting whatever I used for eraser. So when I say I can recognize most default procreate brushes on sight I’m not kidding
The fashion Annie drawings off to the sides of the canvas with various brush strokes in between them, color coded by which brushes were used on each piece.

Claude: Aww- Please! I’ll bother you until you tell me something.
Cyril: FINE.
Panel 3: Cyril: You wanna know something from your future? You, at seventeen, have already hit your ADULT HEIGHT.
Panel 4: Claude with a DOOOM sound effect
Cyril from offscreen: but I’m nineteen and I’m STILL GROWING.

Edelgard and Ferdinand, #FE3H 2020. I think I first shared this one on her birthday.
Panel 1: Edelgard and Ferdinand sitting together. He is glancing over at her, but she is staring forward.
Edelgard: did you misremember what I said, Ferdinand? I never told you I was born to rule
Panel 2: Edelgard and Ferdinand sitting together from the back, in shadow. A long straight scar with stitches is seen along Edelgard’s spine through the heart cutout in the back of her dress.
Edelgard: I said, “I was made for it.”

Ferdinand and Edelgard, 2020. I think I first published this on his birthday, haha. #FE3H
Panel 1: Ferdinand panting on the ground, kneeling and propped up by his lance
Panel 2: Hazy edelgard timeless viewed as if standing over viewer.
Ferdinand: I will defeat you, Edelgard. One day-
Panel 3: Ferdinand: I will become a better ruler than you!
Panel 4: Edelgard in stark black and white, furious, looking back over her shoulder
Panel 5: Edelgard obscured half in shadow with her axe over one shoulder, illuminated by the Crest of Flames, walking away from Ferdinand kneeling in the light. What little of her face is visible shows her losing her composure, with a bright tear streak on her cheek.
Edelgard: Mark well, Ferdinand. You are looking at the ultimate emperor to rule Fódlan. Your own father has made abundantly sure of that.

Panel 1: Avilina, sad and cuddled up behind another au ra. Cursive text shows Avilina’s inner monologue: “dark red hair, round white horns.”
Panel 2: Avilina continues: “Enbracing her from the back like this, she could almost be you. She even said it’s alright. That she’s used to pretending to be someone else.”
The image from panel 1 has been moved over to reveal that the red hair and round horns belong not to Avilina’s canonical friend Milisandia, but to Hisui.

I had the immense pleasure of creating a portrait of Marjane Satrapi for the NYT Book Review back in 2021. It accompanied the original review of Persepolis from 2003. I came to know her work through it. If you're in NY, it will be reprinted in an upcoming tribute edition of the paper. 🕊

Before Laurent’s birthday is up, I wanted to share my old comic of Laurent and Annette! #feawakening #fe3h
Panel 1: Annette fans herself with a hat.
Annette: whew! I don’t do too well in the heat. You really saved me!
Panel 2: handing the witch hat back over
Annette: I’m seriously lucky you were passing through
Panel 3: Annette listening as Laurent speaks from off-panel: that was no mere coincidence. I’ve actually been searching for a woman who matches your description for quite some time. In mage’s robes, with shoulder-length orange hair.
Panel 4: Laurent puts his hat back on
Laurent: though in my recollection, mother’s hair was darker, and she wore glasses and a hat just like mine
Panel 5: close up of Annette’s eyes widening

Annettentide continuation. #FE3H #feawakening
Panel 1: Annette with hands clasped
Annette: m-me too! I’m looking for my father too.
Laurent, offscreen: (oh! One of us)
Panel 2: Annette speaking over an image of Gilbert with his back turned: he’s a tall knight with hair the same color as mine
Laurent: (ah yes, in that respect most of us take after our fathers…)
Annette: he left when I was younger and I think he may be going by a different name.
Panel 3: Annette and Laurent silhouetted against some scribbly palm trees
Laurent: (a tall feroxi knight with orange…) Apologies. I don’t believe I can direct you to your father after all.
Annette: At this point, it’s expected. He’s probably just avoiding me.
Panels 4-5: Laurent in minimal white outline against black background, eyes obscured by his glasses, face fallen and then speaking with plastered-on optimism.
Annette: is your mother the same?
Laurent: an… not quite
Panel 6: Laurent standing with his hands on hips, smiling; Annette still resting on the ground.
Laurent: But I have utmost confidence I will locate mother here. I may even discover what transpired immediately after her disappearance. After all, it’s not as though they ever found a body!
