Mother Aughra sketch! I’ll be at Planet Comicon in a couple weeks and currently taking commissions for pickups (and to ship out). If interested, check out my commission rates/details here: http://www.corinneroberts.net/comms
Skekmal - The Hunter sketch commission! Had a blast at Grand Rapids Comic Con and did some really fun commissions that I’ll be posting this week. Always great to see con family and friends as we come to the end of the con season!
I drew a picture of Gurjin, with shadows and details, the body isn’t the best but I think this will be my new art style. This also took like 9 years to do so,☺️
Naia contemplates Gurjin’s dagger while her flying eel Neech tries to comfort her and Tavra shares some advice on stabbing shit or something. (Character designs based on the books more than the show.)

the fact tht ppl reach so hard to redeem the skeksis but disregard seladon for being a multi-faced character with flaws is SO goddamn telling. very embarrassing of u
May I introduce OceanPetals’ daughter, Saffron! And what a little bundle of joy she is!
A little princess who is loved by her parents, Fleur and Razer as well as her Tumbeloths Jujubee and Fabio. Unlike her Momma and Papa, Saffron is a shy and pretty soft spoken little one. As the youngest of all the childlings she enjoys spending time with her older cousins, as well as any of the WanderingSails childlings who enjoy being around the baby lol
Fleur and Razer couldn’t be happier with the arrival of Saffron. They didn’t think they’d become parents until the day they agreed they were both ready. Oh boy are both of their parents, especially their mothers, happy for the arrival of Saffron.
I don’t want to share too much lol
In case I can’t finish my, Mother’s Day sketches, Happy Mother’s Day everyone!!!
I have no other words besides that Star Wars day was 2 days ago, and yesterday I drew this when Star Wars ep3 was playing lol
Very high key, Padmé’s wardrobe in the prequels is Fleur’s dream wardrobe! I had to draw her in one of Padmé’s maternity dresses. Because Fleur is dressed like Padmé, Razer had to be dressed like Anakin! Thankfully, OceanPetals don’t have a tragic love story like Anidala.
Because the big Gelfling oc piece was posted I could get ready to unveil the OceanPetals baby!! Eeeee I’m so excited! Soon they will join EnchantedSandstorms and WanderingSails in the joys of parenthood.
Thank you to everyone who took part in this and let me draw your Ocs. If there’s one thing I love most about TDC fandom is the Ocs so many artists and writers come up with. Like, it makes the world of Thra so much more beautiful and lively. Everyone has some really beautifully designed Ocs and I had so much fun drawing them!
I have my 2022 version in the works which should be posted around the holiday season.
As we can see from the screenshots I forgot crop these were meant to be posted a lot earlier lol
I still have quite a few of these IG questions to answer. I wanted to share these four because they were my most fun. There’s another that I will post up but it will be included with any other angsty questions
The first one is a few Ocs and their taste in music. I separated them and wrote more but I forgot to watermark them. I don’t think anyone would steal these drawings but still.
Sera loves opera and takes Ortun and Tau to them as often as she can. It’s one of the few activities she keeps up with from her childhood. Ortun wasn’t the biggest fan but grew to enjoy opera and is quite the connoisseur lol On IG I had the two of them listening to a talented opera singer, Maria Callas. My friend introduced me to
Fleur and Takoda in particular like just about everything. If it’s got a catchy beat they will be fans of the song/artist/group. I had watched, Turning Red, before drawing this and had them dancing to, I Want It That Way, by the Backstreet Boys. The two of them would be those friends who sing with a hairbrush and put on a performance in front of an invisible audience lol
Azra I want to say gets introduced to anime and amvs by her soul sister and discovers a bunch of rock and symphonic metal. She has no regrets watching amvs lol She’s listening to Nightwish, Sleeping Sun. A personal favorite song my sister and I discovered one day that cemented our days surfing YouTube for good amvs
Cha’l can be an old soul and enjoys music similar in beat to Frank Sinatra. It’s easygoing and Cha’l has to have music on when he’s cooking for his family. He’s the type that can play music and not get distracted if he’s focused on a task. He was listening to, “Poetry in Motion” a song my sister showed me from a Fisheye amv from Sailor Moon! But, Cha’l also loves music that makes you want to dance! I’m getting pictures in my head- like if he’s making a recipe he’s done a thousand times he has no problem letting the music speak and make him dance. If I drew him dancing he’s be listening to either Hector Lavoe, Marc Anthony or Elvis Crespo because those artists hold specific moments I see Cha’l and his family doing
Fleur singing in the tavern! There was a commercial that was playing all the time (maybe January? That’s when I believe I drew this) and it gave me jazz bar vibes. The poses and composition were taken from a childhood favorite movie of mine. If anyone could guess it will get a digital cookie! I will say the movie is a direct to video sequel to a much better movie. I’d give another hint but the other hint is giving too much away
MY FAVORITE!!! Lol Kiel and his expressions. He and Fleur are the most expressive but Kiel is the king of expressions. Kiel is a menace to Captain Ortun and he thrives off of knowing that. I love how close he and Tau are. He’s an only childling so Tau gives him a taste of what having a sibling is like. If Tau looks like they’re in vampire garb that’s because I was looking at/thinking about, Interview with the Vampire lol
Lastly, Gelfling Viara and Podling Fleur! Something I never would’ve considered. Even as a Podling Fleur still looks like she can take anyone on while looking cute doing it lol Viara is still just as sweet looking as a Gelfling.
Here we have the wonderful and dear ships @jack-toons and I have; EnchantedSandstorms, OceanPetals, and WanderingSails. As well as introducing EnchantedSandstorms’ childling, Iry ,and WanderingSails childling, Zuri.
What most of these kisses have in common are that they are from romance movies my mom introduced to me lol EnchantedSandstorms are doing the end kiss from, Titanic. OceanPetals are doing a kiss from, Tristan’s and Isolde. And WanderingSails are doing a kiss from, The Notebook.
I imagine that these kisses happen when the pairs have been reunited after a long while. Especially EnchantedSandstorms and OceanPetals because neither Shiyoon nor Fleur join Cha’l or Razer on their voyages. Or maybe Shiyoon does, she gets along with Captain Sera lol. Fleur is afraid of big open water. The closest she’ll get to a boat ride is a small boat ride on the river or not far from the docks.
I think WanderingSails’ kiss might be their first kiss as an official couple because the two of them hung out a lot after meeting. They also weren’t shy of stealing a few kisses with one another.
OR! This is everyone’s first kiss that was shared out in public.
Iry and Zuri is referenced from the kiss in the movie, My Girl. I have never seen this movie though. The kiss between these two is probably Zuri saying that they should give each other their first kiss so they don’t give their first kiss to someone who they regret. Or maybe that was the plan but Zuri got the jitters and stopped it. Iry and Zuri have an interesting friendship, especially since their personalities are so different.
I love these ships! They are too precious and aahhh their stories are so good!
Shiyoon, Razer and Sammi belong to Jack-toons and you can see them all on their dark crystal page @myfanartblogplusshippingtrash
Both Iry and Zuri belong to the both of us
I hope you all enjoy today and enjoy that discounted chocolate tomorrow!
Introducing Azra’s Gran from her father’s side, aka the more eccentric side of the family lol I had to put her side by side with the most recent drawing of Azra I have. Right now Azra’s Gran doesn’t have a name.
There is a reason for her creation what I can say is that she is a Songteller of sorts. We’ll learn more about her in due time.
She’s that unapologetic type of Grandmother who doesn’t worry about who she embarrasses or annoys. She’s a feisty old gal who is also well versed in potions and concoctions. She taught her son what she learned in the hopes that he would teach Azra, but Thra had other plans. Gran taught Azra all she knows and has learned a few new things from Azra.
She is Azra’s role model although she isn’t AS creepy as Azra is. She does still give off a witchy aura about her.
