a commission for @byleslierene, inspired by Hellelil and Hildebrand, the Meeting on the Turret Stairs. it was such a joy drawing these characters and representing this story that I can't wait to read myself.

I designed an Ex Libris bookplate inspired by Cicely Mary Barker's Flower Fairies for families needing help in 🍉! This printable download is entirely pay-what-you-can and 100% of the proceeds will go towards GoFundMes for families in need. Available here: ko-fi.com/s/8ec25b554b
