Name: An Anatomy of Tharse
Story: The Year Universe
Colors: Liver Saturation
Styles and Supplies: Saturation, Miniature Collection, Panorama, Cut-Away, Fingerpainting, Graffiti (Three weeks for Dreamwidth), Stain("I have too much respect for the idea of God to make it responsible for such an absurd world." - Georges Duhamel)
Word Count: 1750
Rating: PG
Warnings: Some slavery apologia; Mention of cultural genocide
Summary: Some notes about the structure of Tharsi society, from a Northern Kingdoms perspective.
Notes: Worldbuilding for the Year Universe. Because of how I wouldbuilt Tharse, I knew I had to do this with the Liver list. Originally I was going to do longer pieces as a tapestry, but then decided to do it this way. I've never really done drabbles, or other challenges involving restricting wordcount, so it was kind of an interesting challenge to keep everything to <= 100 words, which is why I put Fingerpainting on it. I thought about trying to do it as Pointillism, too, but I don't think I am there yet.

Name: Winter in the Wastelands Banner
Story: Starfall
Colors: Beet Red #25 (Practice makes perfect)
Supplies and Styles: Illustration + Graffiti (April Food Challenge) + Fingerpainting
Word Count: N/A
Rating: G
Warnings: None.
Notes: 1317, the Wastelands; Leaira Modelen, Marran Delver. (Mod. notes for Illustration says that Mood Boards, Collages & similar graphics editing is allowed, so hopefully these two banners will count! "Practice makes perfect" because I lost my ancient free software in getting a new PC recently and everything involving the more up to date photo-editing software I have now just makes me cry tears of blood, but I decided to have a go at something like this and not stop until I got something half decent and a better idea of the new software's quirks.)
Summary: A graphics edit (collage/cover-style) banner for the North Fort story arc. There are two, because the first one fits what I was aiming for and the mood of the arc much better, but I rather love the way the colours worked out on the second version.

Word Count: n/a
Rating: general
Warnings: n/a
Summary: Teenaged Phyllida Winiger in a watercolor sketch.
Note: I am attempting a bichromatic with Shocking Pink and Graphite using Phyllida for every prompt. Watercolor is in another galaxy from my comfort zone, so this took way longer than you'd think. I am not happy with this, it doesn't look good but hey! I am here to celebrate my bad art until it gets better.

One of the ways Ursula Vernon deals with trolls on twitter is telling stories about her (fictional) Uncle Sven. I decided to follow her example, and this is the story that resulted. While I used some bits of my actual family as very vague inspiration, everyone and everything in this story is fictional and probably wildly inaccurate to the supposed time period, whatever that is.
