I still have some #MistletoeKisses left, though I might not finish all of them.

Dear @scienceywitch.bsky.social asked for Lumen and Gwydion and I realized WAY TOO LATE that the height difference is wrong 🫣 whoops!

#FabelwesenArt #sketch #OCArt #OCSky #TradArt
#ChildOfDreamsGwydion
#WinterqueenDnD

A black and white halfbody pencil sketch of two characters under a mistletoe.
The one on the left, Lumen, is a male Tiefling with shoulder long hair and horns sprouting from his forehead, going back over his head. He wears a dark shirt with ruffles and leans forward, the hand of the other character in his hand, pressing a kiss onto the knuckles, a happy smile on his face.
The character on the left, Gwydion, is a male Half-elf with long, light hair, most of it up in a high ponytail, with two long braids in front of his chest. He is wearing his monk garb, black clothes with gauntlets and his adorned cowl above that. He looks flustered, blushing and not meeting Lumen's soft gaze while being kissed.
Gwydion appears to be much smaller, which was a mistake on my end, so I imagine them being on the stairs up towards the Winterqueen's castle, with Lumen standing higher, turning back to give the little hothead a sweet kiss on his hand.

YULE (WINTER SOLSTICE)
As much as he dreads this merry time of year, Ol’ Turnip Head can never resist kissing his partners under the mistletoe. Even witches and some goth girls celebrate!

I realized I have free will, so for today's #MistletoeKisses I decided to draw Tabris and V again and practice drawing people kissing (can you tell I gave up trying to draw lips...? 🫠💦)
They deserve some peace 💖

#ViciousBeastV
#EternalFlameTabris
#FabelwesenArt #sketch #OCArt #OCSky #TradArt

A halfbody black and white pencil sketch of two men kissing.
On the left is Tabris, seen mostly from behind. He is wearing light, to a degree see-through clothes, his back exposed. He has light hair and a halo above his head that looks like stained glass.
His face is tenderly cupped and held up by V's hands, who tenderly presses their lips together. V, on the right, is a bigger man with black hair, wearing dark clothes. He has scars on his face and his eyes closed, while Tabris still has his eyes opened slightly.
Above their heads is a mistletoe.

Today's #MistletoeKisses is especially dear to me 🙏

Dear @meerkat-anna.bsky.social asked for Vaughn and Genevieve and of course I needed to draw this very soft moment between my boy and his favourite niece 🥰

#GoodBoyVaughn
#FabelwesenArt #sketch #OCArt #OCSky #TradArt

A black and white bust pencil sketch of my boy Vaughn, a young man with black hair and a three-days-beard, happily giving his niece Genevieve a kiss on her cheek, while they are beneath a mistletoe.
Genevieve has a happy smile and a little blush on her face. She is a teen, has shoulder long, light hair and is wearing a uniform. There's a halo bove her head like two crescent moons.

More sapphic #MistletoeKisses 🥰

The wifes™️ requested by @scienceywitch.bsky.social 🙏💖 I care them. I miss them. Just my sweet, strong dum-dum Hybris utterly in love with her angelic-and-absolutely-not-brought-up-with-Fey-standards wife Sammy.

#FabelwesenArt #sketch #OCArt #OCSky #TradArt

A black and white pencil sketch of my OC Hybris, a horned Hobgoblin woman with scars on her face, pressing a loving kiss on her wife's chest. Her wife, Sammy, has long, light, wavy hair, twig like horns growing from her head, dark skin and wears an ethereal dress with a huge cleavage. Above them is a mistletoe and little hearts fly up from Hybris' head.

It's #MistletoeKisses time 💖

Dearest @scienceywitch.bsky.social asked me to have my babe Bombshell kiss their sweet Mercy 🥰

(Also the only request with that number, so this is extremely special to me in many ways 🙏)

#FabelwesenArt #sketch #OCArt #OCSky #TradArt

A black and white halfbody pencil sketch of my OC Bombshell, a female Tiefling with shoulder long, wavy hair, wearing an elaborate dress, about to kiss Tory's female Tiefling Mercy.
Mercy wears a black dress and has her long hair in a braid over her shoulder. Both women wear lipstick and Bombshell has a hand outstretched towards Mercy's chin. They have their eyes closed and seem to be looking forward to the kiss, while a mistletoe hangs above them.

A special #MistletoeKisses request from @scienceywitch.bsky.social 🥰
This didn't involve a mistletoe, but the kiss happened in-session during our #HaedrisErwacht campaign, in a very vulnerable moment between Irasci and Layne 🐏🐺

#RuthlessLambIrasci
#FabelwesenArt #sketch #OCArt #OCSky #TradArt

A black and white pencil sketch, bust view, of my Tiefling Blood Huntress Irasci, on the left, clad in spiky armor, scars and freckles on her face, hair poofy and wooly, hands gently grabbing Layne's head, while she presses a kiss to his forehead.
Layne has short, dark hair and fur wrapped around his shoulder. Both have their eyes closed, eyebrows tense, but a light blush on their faces. Irasci's eyes are still a bit swollen from crying prior to the kiss.

Another #MistletoeKisses 💖
Not really a kiss, but I found this photo of a creme-coloured wolf snuggling up to a black one who made the exact same face and I just had to draw my favourite brothers in fur 🐺

#ViciousBeastV
#FabelwesenArt #sketch #OCArt #OCSky #TradArt

A pencil sketch coloured with acrylic and alcohol markers of two wolves in bust view under a mistletoe, one black with red eyes, V, the other golden with green eyes, Vuk.
Vuk is lying his head affectionately on the top of V's head, who makes a face as if he was annoyed, but we all know he loves his little brother too much to ever actually be annoyed.

Look at how they evolved 💖
@norfrosch.bsky.social asked for Hotness/Tenderness between Tabris and V, with a #MistletoeKisses on the back of the neck. Let's just say there was a mistletoe here at some point 🤭

#EternalFlameTabris
#ViciousBeastV
#FabelwesenArt #sketch #OCArt #OCSky #TradArt

Black and white pencil sketch of a very tender and intimate moment between Tabris and V. The background is completely black and both men have naked torsos. V is on the left, a muscular man with slightly pointed ears, short, black hair, prominent cheekbones and scars all over his body. A scar in the shape of a hand is very prominently in the middle of his chest.
He presses a kiss to his partner's neck. His partner, Tabris, shows us his backside, his head turned around, a soft look in his eyes, despite the cheeky grin on his lips.
His torso is also scarred, but those scars look like cracks in porcellain or lightning. He has light hair, also slightly pointy ears and a halo floating around the back of his head looking as if made of stained-glass.

More #MistletoeKisses ✨️

This one was requested by @damienvoid.bsky.social last year. Badhor and Ayerah, a soft press of lips on a tired forehead.
It inspired a little writing and made me realize that Ayerah knows this tradition 🥹

#TiredWolfAyerah
#FabelwesenArt #sketch #OCArt #OCSky #TradArt

A black and white pencil sketch of two men in bust view.
The one on the left, Damien's OC Badhor, is a dark-skinned Elf wearing a blindfold. He has long, glossy, black hair, wearing most of it in a sort of bun. Two long scars emerge from beneath the blindfold. He has a black goatee.
He presses his lips against the forhead of my OC, Ayerah, and also pulls his head in with his hand.
Ayerah is a light-skinned man with a messy, stubbly sort of beard and shoulder-long, black hair. A scar splits his lips around the corner of his mouth, another one running across his face and over his nose. He has two little diamond-shaped tattoos beneath his eye and, unseen to us, as they are covered by his hair, also above his eye. Said eye is partially opened, so is his mouth, as if he would be sighing into this tiny display of affection. Above them is a mistletoe.

Another drawing for the #MistletoeKisses 🥰

So this was the pose dear @shiftingdreamer.bsky.social requested for this year of our babes, with their significant idiot 💖 Thank you. I love them.

#GoodBoyVaughn
#FabelwesenArt #sketch #OCArt #OCSky #TradArt

A black and white pencil sketch of our OCs Alaric and Vaughn.
On the left side we have Vaughn, a young man with dark hair and a three-days-beard, with his eyes closed, blowing a kiss towards the other man. The hand he used to blow the kiss with is still visible, with a tiny dark petal tattooed on the wrist.
The other, bigger man is on the right, Alaric. He is middle-aged, with more neatly looking stubbles on his chin, a scar on his left cheek and some minimalistic tattooes on his face. His eyes are closed as well and he has a very fond grin on his face. Above his head floats a broken halo, intermingled with tiny petals. One of the hearts Vaughn blew his way also sneaked inside it.
Above both men is a mistletoe with a cute bow.

More #MistletoeKisses 💖

@shiftingdreamer.bsky.social asked for more Alaric and Vaughn, but before I started with the new version I wanted to update the one from last year.
I love them so much, your honor 🙏

#GoodBoyVaughn
#FabelwesenArt #sketch #OCArt

A black and white pencil sketch. Bust view of two men standing in front of each other, Kassna's Alaric any my Vaughn. The taller one, Alaric, wearing clothes with a high collar, with longer dark hair, some minimalist tatoos and a neatly trimmed beard, presses a kiss to the other's temple. He has a broken halo floating above his head, with tiny petals. The other, Vaughn, is a younger man, head tilted towards the viewer, with a broad grin on his happy face. He has a three-days-beard, shorter black hair and wears a shirt with an open collar.
Above their heads is a little mistletoe.

Now's the official start of my #MistletoeKisses 💖
Once more with Tabris & V and one of the newly suggested poses.
This is definitely somewhere in their future, when things have calmed down and a kiss on the hand suddenly feels intimate
#EternalFlameTabris
#ViciousBeastV
#FabelwesenArt #sketch #OCArt

A black and white halfbody pencil sketch of two men under a mistletoe.
On the left is V, a young man with dark hair, in casual palace clothing, bending forward and placing a kiss on the other man's hand which he holds tightly with his.
On the right side is Tabris, a young man with light hair, wearing light, floaty, seethrough clothes, exposing some of his scarred skin. Lightning like scars are seen on his arms and upper body.
He clutches his free hand to his chest and blushes from the kiss, a very fond and loving look on his face. His head is crowned by a halo that looks like stained glass.

As December draws closer, I once again set out to draw #MistletoeKisses 💖 Tabris and V have been suggested a few times, so I decided to redo their drawing from last year. It's still a sketch but more refined.
They make me so happy 🫶
