Galath & Hari (I'm not sure at what point things become spoilers...)

#TheIsleInTheSilverSea #art
5 sketches of a man with pale skin and long white hair. He has broad shoulders and is in pale white brown and green ragged clothes. He has a red circle on his forehead. Sketches of Hari, an Indian man with brown skin, wearing simple brownish shirts and waistcoats/suspenders. In some he is older, with longer hair. He has a black cat on his shoulder in one, and is next to Simran in another.

Simran! (and Maleficium and Adder)

#TheIsleInTheSilverSea #art
Sketches of Simran, an Indian woman with long dark hair and vine tattoos, in a red dress and black jacket, sometimes a hood and satchel. There is a fluffy black cat, which she is holding in one drawing. Sketches of Simran looking younger, with shorter cropped hair and mostly simpler black/brown dresses. In one she has a gown and mask. An inky black shapeshifting animal is also in some, in the form of a raven, mouse, and snake.

Con Ribbons from Laya Rose Art
Con ribbons! These are collectable stackable ribbons for con attendees! While these usually are intended to be exclusively for conventions, realistically most of you aren't going to be able to attend...

I have a display copy for people to draw in at conventions, here's some good doodles
notepad page with 4 doodles: a dragon (with Ben smells written above), a portrait of i think Phil from Minecraft (???) by tegulai.cosplay, a cat, and gale (?) from bge by alexxuun. There's also a nail sticker. doodles of two boxy dog heads with a crown by theorthrus, and two doodles of pinchie (small dog) dreaming of fries (caption: fry heaven now) by kalesbug and genue. doodles of two snails kissing captioned snesbians. a bean labelled bean. And a tiny house. full page doodle of a person shooting someone with a bow and arrow saying hehe. The victim says ow and has lots of blood around it (they used one of the arrow stickers). This was drawn by a very polite child.
