#cordelia carstairs

i just finished chain of iron.

i— i am not okay.

here are my reactions from the last 10 pages…

ah the duality of james herondale

a demon killing machine that can see the shadow realm and get the ladies to love him with one look… but also… spoon.

my 60 year old dad is reading lord of shadows for the first time, and he texts me every couple minutes with funny or sad quotes omg

it honestly makes my day every time

update: i can hear him laughing from the other room

THIS moment in cassie clare’s penultimate hours short story set literally breaks my heart…

jesse

“meeting him would change her life forever”

THIS IS APETITION TO LET MATTHEW FAIRCHILD SAY FUCK

pls. it would be so ionic.

i’m not even gonna lie, lucy herondale in a DINNER GOWN, climbing out of the window HOLDING AN AXE isFUCKINGICONIC

Chain of Gold, pg. 215

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE DRAW THIS

“i shall beat her to death with her own stupid hat”

did this moment make anyone else die of laughter the first time they read it …

Queen of Air and Darkness, pg. 110

cuz i was SHOCKED to have someone drop the f bomb so directly it’s hilarious eeek

Chain of Gold, pg. 76

“in times like this, all shyness deserted Cordelia: she could only think of what to do next.”

^^ I literally think about this quote when i’m anxious and it helps me calm down and think “what do i do next”

Ariadne Bridgestock. This isn’t exactly how I imagined her in the book, but oh well, I tried.

P.S. If the staircase looks familiar, it’s based on the one from Titanic :O

Cordelia Carstairs, one of my favorite kick-butt warriors.

P.S. her hair was so fun to do!

“A ghost with a sense of propriety. That isfunny.”

Lucie Herondale (finished, I think). This was one of my favorite interactions between Jesse and Lucie in Chain of Gold. It was dusk in the scene though, so that’s why the picture is a wee bit dark.

Hey, I’m back

Here’s a WIP of Lucie Herondale I’ve just started!

Hey sorry I’ve been MIA, here’s a Grace Blackthorn for y’all to make up for being gone :) (I know the hair is wrong for the time period but oh well, she started as Ginny Weasley so :/)

Follow-up from yesterday’s WIP of babie (spelled with an ‘ie’ because that’s cuter and fits Math better) Matthew Fairchild :)

Also I just realized the coloring of his outfit reminds me of Newt Scamander’s color scheme. Whoops.

Mild spoiler for CoG2 below

When I showed this to my dad, he pointed out that Matthew would probably have a fleshier face due to drinking tons of alcohol, so I went back and made his face a liiiittle bit wider. I think he’s probably right.

This week on: How Many Times Can I Use The Same Drawing Of Cordelia While Changing Only A Few Minute Things?

Very mild spoiler:

I changed my last drawing of her to Cordelia in James’ sickroom in one of the years past chapters. This is kind of how I saw it, with the window and light right behind her and the fire to her left (the yellowish colors on her face and dress)

Character by @cassandraclare

Only 11 months, 9 days, 11 hours, and 10 minutes until Chain of Iron comes out.

I need it now.

Cordelia and Lucie

I reworked my last Cordelia and made it a little more portrait-y, and then did Lucie yesterday.

Another Cordelia :)

(Character from The Last Hours by Cassandra Clare)

Romantics

I was inspired by all the dark academia pinterest posts on sculpted heads and statues. So here’s a James and Cordelia AU.

Warrior

I think in another life Cordelia could definitely be a Knight!!
