Barefoot contessa levels of contempt in my voice: If you can’t source your vizier the real way, store bought is fine.

Some pose practice 😬 I feel as though I’ve unlocked a new level of Drawing Secrets ™️ This is Julian. He has hair And eyes and everything just like a normal guy.

A collage of shaded sketches of Julian in different poses and clothes. Very basic little detail but I like to think a lot of movement and expressiveness !

For the harmony of seasons kickstarter campaign i really wanted some cute stickers of all the guys. Bear actually suggested @justmissart.bsky.social (and Fox for that matter. THE BLESSED TRINITY!) and i am SO GLAD they did. Again--wonderful to work with and adorable result that exceeded my brief!

Em Strange@emmalinestrange· Apr 17

@foxglovefaun.bsky.social does such amazing work, and BOY do they have range. A lot of their work that i've seen is edgy atmospheric almost cyper punk. And i really said, can you draw some soft bois with flowers 👉👈🥺? and they just RAN with it. <3 (also I had this piece made into a blanket)

Spicy intimate character art collage of Auro and Alexios

Em Strange@emmalinestrange· Apr 17

Most of the series artwork came from the magical cryptid brain of @crossroadart.bsky.social . They are a delight to work with, and if you've been here a while you know almost all my covers have been done by them <3

Crossroad Art's beautiful cover illustration for Bright Spring, featuring Alexios in a toga and Auro half transformed into a statue.

A cursed demigod with a tragic past. A young prince with a future he can’t face. Is their love powerful enough to save them? read Bright Spring: www.amazon.com/dp/B0CW1PLS3D/

A pretty graphic with the blurb for my novel Bright Spring.

text: A cursed demigod with a tragic past. A young prince with a future he can’t face. Is their love powerful enough to save them?

Auro has forgotten the sound of a human voice. For four hundred years, he’s been cursed to wake alone on the first day of spring, shepherd the earth through the season, and turn back into a lifeless marble statue at its end. The demure demigod is content with his solitude and his ghosts–or, he thought he was, until he stumbles across a handsome stranger unconscious on his forest floor.

Prince Alexios can’t stand it one more second. The reckless royal flees the castle for one night of freedom when his horse spies a snake and throws him, leaving him out cold in the dirt. When he awakens in the gentle care of a beautiful, pink-haired stranger, His Royal Highness refuses to rest until he uncovers the truth about the alluring Auro.

Auro is enchanted by the bold princeling, but can’t bear to tell him he’ll turn to stone in three months’ time. Alexios finds in Auro everything he craves but can never have, because he’s destined to marry someone else.

Can they work together to free Auro, or will spring fade and see him returned to cold, unfeeling stone?

Bright Spring is the dreamy, steamy first book in the Harmony of Seasons queer fantasy romance quartet. If you like cinnamon roll heroes, swoony romance with high stakes fantasy action, and togas, then you’ll love Emmaline Strange’s sword-and-sandal series starter.

Buy Bright Spring to defy a curse in the name of love today!

Stunning human illustrated cover art by Bear (@crossroadart) for my gay romance novel Bright Spring. Features a cutie in a toga kissing a pink haired cutie who is half way through turning into a statue.

MY BOOOOOYYYY (left) Leofric was a side character in bright spring. I loved him so much I wanted him to be happy. But I also needed to inflict upon him the world’s worst pansexual menace to society (right). It is not always good to be beloved of the writer 😂😬 Art by @justmissart.bsky.social

Cute squishy chibi art of leofric and cosmo from Dauntless Summer.

I don’t care what anyone says, I think this show has some queer subtext 🤔🤔🤔🤔
