« He heaved a flat of wild geraniums into the canal over the protests of the flower seller and grabbed the clothes Matthias had stashed there earlier that morning. He swept the red cloak around Inej’s shoulders in a rain of petals and blossoms as she continued to strap on her knives. She looked almost as startled as the flower seller. »

inspired by the iconic Anne Hathaway picture! thanks to the BOTB people for all the encouragement on the making of this drawing :) this one’s for you @feelinglikecleopatra<3
impulse posting! Kaz patching up Inej, ugh I love them!! this is my first time recording a digital drawing process, so hope you like it!
speedpaint:
There were a few technical difficulties and the video was cut halfway through the sketch. oops. I’m too busy and tired to re-do it honestly so I’m just gonna share it like this! The goal for this sketch was to do something quick, without using refs or taking breaks, in order to get a clean quick screen recording of the drawing. I love watching other artists’ speedpaints so this was fun and cool to make myself!!
I was part of the BOTB Winter Festival Exchange this year, and I made this for the lovely Burner @desidarling123<3! hope you like it :’)
This was also very much inspired by the hundred of fics out there showcasing Kaz & Inej’s path towards healing and intimacy. fic writers, y'all are doing amazing!! :)
Kaz working through the complexities of braiding hair, namely, Inej’s hair.I’m just so weak for the Kaz- brushes/braids Inej’s hair trope, aAAAa. just thinking they’d both have an easier time starting with hair, and then Kaz and his tricksters hands are carefully crafting a braid as Inej guides him through it, him marvelling at the unreal wonderful feel of her hair on his fingertips for the first time…
Kaz is definitely a diva when it comes to his clothes and general edgy aesthetic, and I just love thinking of him taking extra care to press all the wrinkles away from his dear suits before carefully putting them on and straightening his tie. kanej who? now, that’s love.
«Tears, of course, were forbidden. She had cried the first night. Tante Heleen had used the switch on her, then the cane, then choked her until she’d passed out. The next time, Inej’s fear was greater than her sorrow.»– CK, Chapter 17, by Leigh Bardugo.
