Storybook - Tumblr Posts
First time ever trying procreate! I've always used FireAlpaca for my drawings. The programme isn't too difficult to understand unlike others I've tried, and I had a lot of fun with these include brushes! I'm looking forward to testing this out more.
What everyone's thoughts on this? :D
The Littlest Lamb
Once upon a time, There was a small lamb
They was always overshadowed by their older brothers and older sisters
One day her Mother gave her instructions to bring a basket of goodies to Grandma
"Stay on the path and beware of Stray dogs lurking"
The small lamb obeyed her mother's words for a short time but was soon distracted when seeing a field full of beautiful flowers.
Wanted to bring some to grandma the little sheep pick some of the flowers.
The lamb never noticed a bottle dropped out of the basket and spilled on the ground spilling red juice.
Worried about getting a scolding from her mother The Lamb quickly placed the bottle back in the basket and ran to grandma's house.
The Little Lamb's Grandma was delighted with the flowers, so she gave the lamb a key tied to a green ribbon
The Little Lamb went back home only to see a terrible sight
Her whole family was gobbled up, any remaining parts of their bodies was covered in a pool of their own blood.
The little Lamb cried but there was no one there to comfort her
The End.
The pig in princess clothing
Once upon a time there was a pig who was shunned by all. Not wanting to face the truth she made a fantasy world where she was a princess who had everything their heart desired.
Her parents who neglected all of this only encouraged her thinking that this would help their reputation.
They whispered pretty lies coated with sickening sweet honey dripping on every sentence, they used her delusions to fuel their writing.
The only one who cared about her was the Pig princess's handmaiden…but she soon disappeared
For the Pig's envy did more harm than good.
Wanting to save their own skin they sent the princess packing to a school far away
Now facing the truth of her situation the Pig had no choice but to pay for her misdeeds
She still has her delusions sometimes. But they're not as strong as they used to be.
A side comic for a fanfiction I'm working on:
I wanted to give off a dreamy vibe to the comic (reasons I might explain later), So I'm not finished yet but I'm glad how this turned out. I was inspired by an Episode of Salior Moon.
Sorry for the late post, I'll try to post more soon. Ask any questions if you're interested.

Also sorry for the late post.
Duchess & kittens meet Thomas O'Malley... inspired by the fashions of 1910s France.
This looks like a storybook cover, anybody else agree?

Once Upon A Time Masterlist
******************************************************************
“I had so much fun tonight.” Y/n spoke with a big smile on her face as she turned to face her boyfriend.
“Me too, Love.” he smiled back as they came to a stop in front of the Swan Family loft.
“I love that.” she smirked up at him, biting her lip.
“Love what?” Ryan asked reaching out his hands to hold her waist.
Y/n smiled up at him as she walked into his reach. When you use the petnames: Love, Darling or Darlin.”
“That’s what you’re supposed to use where I come from. For endearment.” he winked playfully, even though every word he spoke was completely true.
Y/n nodded, acknowledging that she does know and understands. But to her, it’s still nice to hear the terms of endearment. “I know, but people don’t anymore.”
“Which is just not right.” Ryan shook his head with a scoff. It’s not right how most men treat women in this world.
“I agree” she grinned, agreeing full-heartedly. Men think women should do all the work now or once they get the girl they can just stop being sweet. Cause they figure the hard works done and it’s not, cause now they should try harder to keep her.
Ryan let out a sigh, it was time for them to part ways for the night. “Well, this is your stop.”
“Ah, yes. Where the embarrassment will in sue.” Y/n scoffed looking to her building that holds home.
“They still give you a hard time?” he asked smiling in amusement.
“Yes! It never stops! We’ve been dating for almost 2 years now.” Y/n exclaimed, clearly annoyed with the long treatment of teasing from her loved ones.
“They just want to tease you, Love.” Ryan tryed to reassure her and calm her annoyance.
She let out a sigh of frustration. “It’s annoying and frustrating.”
“Once Harry starts dating they’ll tease him and not you.”
Y/n let out a laugh. “Hopefully… Well, it seems everyone’s here tonight.”
Y/n hoped he was right. That soon Henery would find a nice girl to date and he would be the one getting teased.
“I love you, Darling.” Ryan spoke softly as he brushed her hair back.
“I love you too. See you tomorrow.” Y/n smiled at him as she gave him a goodbye kiss.
“See you tomorrow. Be brave, Love.” he winked at her, pulling away from the kiss before they took even more time. Ryan didn’t want her to be late and miss curfew. Again.
With that Y/n headed on up the stairs towards the loft. Once she got to the door, getting her key out she could hear that everyone was in there. Letting out a sigh and taking a deep breath before entering. “Well, look who’s back Lass.” Killian greeted with an amused smug look. BUt between the two of them, Y/n knows it’s all in a joking manner, the teasing she gets from him. So when Y/n rolled her eyes looking directly at him as she did, Killian let out a laugh at the girl’s actions. It’s all fun and games between the pirate and his surgery daughter.
“Soooooo, how was it?” Snow asked once Y/n had closed the door.
Regina rolled her eyes at how fast the question left Snow’s mouth. “Why not let her get through the door first. Before you start with all the questions.”
Emma sighed at the argument that could break out. “Regina.”
“What? I’m right.” Regina shrugged her shoulders. She wanted to know as well, considering she was Y/n’s mother for so much of her life. Before Henery found Emma, his and Y/n’s bio mom.
“Yeah, but-” Emma started, leaning back against the counter with her arms crossed loosely.
“She just means you could have said it in a nicer tone.” Robin cut in. Trying his best to defuse the situation at hand.
Regina snapped her towards the archer in the room.”Who’s side are you on?”
Robin tilted his head and raised his eyebrows. “Well-”
“Not again….OK, GUYS! Really?” she exclaimed loudly. All Y/n could think was ‘when will this stop.” but with who her family is made up of that’s a question not worth asking. “Mom?”
“Sorry.” Regina apologized with a tight voice to her daughter, well adopted but you know.
“So Lass, how was the date?” Killian asked trying to ease the conversation back to the topic at hand. Or well hook.
“Yes, details.” Snow snapped her head towards her granddaughter again.
“Oh boy” David sighed leaning back in the dinner tables chair, with his arm around Snow’s shoulders.
Y/n let out a sigh and gave them a nod with a little smile. “It was good.”
Snow scoffed in shook her head that - that seemed to be all she was willing to give them “Come on Sweetheart.”
Y/n shook her head ‘no’. “No. When I give you all more you get crazy about it. You all tease. Well besides Killian and Robin. Thank you by the way. So it was a good date and I enjoyed myself is all you people get.”
“Aw come on Y/n/n.” Snow whined wanting to be able to gossip about this kind of thing with her granddaughter. Since she never got to do it with her own daughter.
“No” she continued to shake her head walking over to where her younger brother sat at the breakfast bar.
“Did you guys kiss? I bet they kissed.” David teased looking between everyone teasingly.
“Oh, many times.” Henry nodded in agreement, trying not to laugh. He always took the chance to tease his sister.
“Hey!” Y/n smacked Henery upside the head.
“Was he sweet? I bet he was sweet.” Snow asked in a dreamy tone. She really likes Ryan and the way he treats Y/n.
“Is he still treating you right?” Emma asked adding into the conversation.
“You mean is he not trying to force her into anything.” Regina pinched the bridge of her nose at Emma’s question. Even though she did wonder the same.
“If he does I’ll hunt him down.” Robin stated in a protective manner.
“I’ll join.” David nodded agreeing with the archer.
“Aye, me too. Though I vote to kill the young lad if he tries anything.” Killian joined in as well, raising his hook in the air.
“I’d be able to get behind that.” Everyone looked to the 3 men in shock. Well besides Y/n. She’s always noticed how protective the 3 of them are towards her.
“I’d be in as well for that plan.” Robin added
“Guys!” Y/n yelled, getting everyone’s attention. She took a deep breath before continuing. “Look, he was a perfect gentleman. Like always. Yes, we kissed, we are in a relationship. Have been for close to 2 years now. There’s never ever- been any pressure going on. He’s not like that, you all should know that by now.” Y/n smiled, looking at all of her family. “Thank you all for worrying and caring so much about me. Thank you for asking and wondering how it went and if things are ok between me and Ryan. Thank you Grandpa, Killian, and Robin for being protective and occasionally overprotective. But now if you excuse me I want to go shower and go to bed.” With that, she gave them all a nod and started to head up the stairs to bed.
“Night, Lass.” Killian moved a hand with a smile.
“Yeah, night.” Emma spoke with a smile as well.
“Night sweetheart.” Regina added also. Everyone gave a slight nod and a ‘night’, as Y/n made it all the way up the stairs.
the five branches of magic: pestilence, war, famine, death, and mathematics
There are other tales too! Also there's Giles and Milton in this world. So I like to think there's other fairytale author's descendants too. Like they could be storybook adapters to make stories go seamlessly but they pretty much don't get to do anything. Headcannon that the lesser known tales are very confusing to try and follow. Charlotte Perrault, Gabriel de Villeneuve, and Jean-Mario Leprince de Beaumont are cousins And second cousins of Andrea Lang and Monsieur d'Aulnoy. The key story their ancestors adapted was Beauty and the Beast. They like historians to help the tale be easy to follow and live. Lesser known tales are usually harder to live through because of how unadapted it is. Story simplifiers or adapters aka Storytellers They don't go to EAH and they a shunned secret cause Milton thinks they not needed anymore (Gatekeeping to the max)
but what exactly is a fairytale? does it HAVE to be Grimm? what about Anderson? Meeshell, Nina, and Crystal imply that Hans Christian Andersen is also allowed into the EAH canon, despite Milton and Giles. I am sick today and staying home from school so will attempt to categorize exactly what is in the EAH universe and how I can twist this to include whichever manner of beast I please (these posts will be tagged “#EAH spellbook” bc I couldn’t come up with anything better)
Another storybook that seem to be showing a female knight, she have blond hair and have freckles on her face showing off that she went to a hard on battle, she even holding a rather large axe that is taller than her.
The 2nd page showing how she fought the war, the way she swing the axe and using her own strength and weight to do so despite her height.
3rd page show now she is a maid that also clean after a rather luxurious castle that seem to be familiar. You could see the same parent from the previous storybook.
The 4th page show vanny once more but no longer a toddler but now a child that seem to be happy to see her maid...there are other maids yet....there wasn't the same red hair glass maid around, just the two.
The 5th show the maid telling story with princess vanessa especially about the way she use the axe. Heck she even taught her certain weapon in a young age.
The 6th even show the maid giving vanny her own throwing axe and a sword at her birthday as vanny smile in joy having those.
7th show vanny hugging this maid with a happy blush, the child back then seem so over joy retrieving such wonderful gift.
(For lyla)
You would find yourself at the subcon forest, at first you would think it like any familiar subcon forest that you came from but would notice the difference as there seem to show more signs of where it lead to. One would say mushroom village, spooky library, the stores and the towers. Not just that, you would notice other beings aside of the minions who live here that seem to be walking by yet is wearing the theme of the said minions and snatcher, what a strange place.
Lyla blinked, confusion taking hold at first, before awe flooded her tiny being. The child’s eyes grew massive, lighting up like stars in the night sky as she took in the familiar- yet clearly different- forest.
“Oh, my stars…!” she gasped, holding the sides of her face as she gazed at the village. “There’s so much to explore…!”
Naturally, the child looked between the stores, library, and towers, tapping her chin and furrowing her brow thoughtfully. “Hmm… I think I should go to… there!” she said to herself, pointing at the spooky library. “I bet I’ll find lots of stuff in there that will help me find secrets!”
With that, Lyla ran towards the library, eager to explore this strange new version of Subcon Forest.
I still say, ‘Shoot for the moon; you might get there.’ Buzz Aldrin Yep, I couldn’t resist, I shot the moon…..and it was positively magical, storybook even……highly recommended;-)….Bon Vendredi, mes amis!
Honey Possum Illustrations
Set of Prints based off of diffrent types honey that I drew up for uni project. Drew them for a fictional set of honey targeted towards children, so lots of bold colours and a soft simple character.
I need a main character and a lot more characters for this Roleplay discord group I am creating! There are a ton of roles needing to be filled, so yeah. I have a link to the list below. Here is the basic plot of the story:
In the realms of history, there have been many magical items. Some of these have been used for evil, some good, some not used at all.
One of these is a book that has been passed down from generation to generation but no one quite knows how it words, so it’s just a book to most.
...that is til it’s passed down to our main character of this story.
Once they get it, they accidentally release a single character from the book, one of the most well known villains and pirates ever, Captain James Hook.
After this, they began trying to help him come to terms with the world around them and his new situation.
After this, they began releasing more storybook characters, one after another.
——
Rules:
- please only apply for a character you can actually play
- While these are characters with a certain personality, appearance, etc. you can make them your own as long as you respect the original
- Please use 3rd person/ narrator perspective and paragraph formatting when roleplaying
- If you are applying for the main character, please know you have to be on a good bit of time in the roleplays and I will need to know that you won’t do something stupid like ‘and then everyone died. The end.’
Here is the list of characters:

My first piece of digital art! I’m so pumped to get into this, my friend gave me her art tablet that she doesn’t use anymore. She also told me about GIMP, which is a free software that she says is much like Photoshop (I wouldn’t know as I have never used Photoshop before).
I decided to take more of a simple storybook kind of approach in drawing and coloring, but without black lines.
I also thought it would be nice to show a more step-by-step post to break up my mainly finished pieces
D is for Dragon available now at our lulu.com store.

Today is a big day, the launch of my first Kickstarter campaign!
The project is a children's picture book called D Is For Dragon, a collaboration between author Nathaniel Beach-Hart and myself, and with your help we can make it a reality. Check out some of my art above.
The art for D Is For Dragon is 33% finished but publishing is an expensive business, if enough people kick in we can afford to print the books in bulk and make what would be a vanity project into something professional and high quality. we’re not just asking for donations, join our Kickstarter and you get a copy of the book, a T-shirt, or can even become part of the art! If the Campaign goes well enough we may even be able to produce additional titles and make this into a whole fantasy series!
Check out our Kickstarter page for more:
