A pencil drawing, inverted to show white chalk-like linework on a black background, of a plus-size, feminine-presenting gnome standing with one hand covering half her face, her expression curious and confident. She wears a thin shift-like garment that shows the shape of her curvaceous body well. A single star falls toward the land behind her, which matches the scar-like outline of a star on the back of the hand she is holding up to block her face.

A pencil drawing, tinted pomegranate-color, of a plump, feminine-presenting gnome – a faerie take on the Goddess Persephone – kneeling with a veil over Her crowned gnomish cap, one hand out to manifest a flower from a floating seed above Her. Spiraling lines of energy around Her, and especially around the flower which is further accented with small floating spheres, indicate the magic of it all. She looks calmly delighted with Her work.

A pencil drawing, tinted green, of a plump, feminine-presenting gnome standing with one hand on the hilt of her holly leaf-bladed sword, the other open at her side with spiraling lines around it indicating magic, her expression calm with eyes closed. Both her pointed cap and gown are designed and adorned with holly or with holly-like elements, two small, similarly-spikey wings manifest from her back, and the background is filled with jagged lines and round shapes to further suggest the leaves of the holly she stands for.

A green-tinted pencil and ink drawing of three faeries – a gnome-sized Krampus-like faun and two gaslamp-fantasy styled gnomes, one plump and feminine-presenting, one thin and masculine-presenting – standing a a line, the feminine gnome handing a gift to the faun, while the masculine gnome hands a gift to someone off-page, indicated by their hands reaching toward it. They are all loosely bound together by a long scarf that goes off the page in both directions, indicating connection to other folk as well. At about or just the same height level as the figures, several stars float against a dark sky to frame the scene, and the ground appears to be covered in snow. While the faun looks blushingly surprised, both gnomes express smiling happiness.

#gnome #gnomes #faerie #gaslampfantasy #nature #sunlight #magic #fantasyart #fairyart #bodypositiveart #indiecomics #queercomics
A pencil drawing of a plump, feminine-presenting gnome happening upon a stone formation that looks an awful lot like a frozen or transformed creature, that is – a Troll, its posture leaning up toward rays of sunlight, its head tilted up as if leaning into that warmth. Moss and other foliage on and around it imply that its been there for some time, and the gnome looks stricken, obviously assuming that it having been frozen is a bad thing. She is packed and dressed for travel, her skirt ending at her calves, a full pack and sleeping roll at her back.

#orc #gnome #faerie
A pencil and ink drawing of two plump, feminine-presenting faerie characters – one orc, one gnome – standing together with arms raised, eyes closed, and multiple speech bubbles coming from them containing text in a fantasy alphabet, their speech matching each other’s. Around them, five vaguely-defined sprite-like faerie flit about in various poses suggesting excitement and approval, while the background is filled with many faces just barely penciled in, as if they’re being pulled through the veil.

A pencil drawing, digitally tinted sepia, of a feminine-presenting, gaslamp-fantasy styled gnome dressed for autumn weather, holding an empty basket in one hand, and raising the other to cup at three leaves dancing in the air above her, her smile open, laughingly, eyes closed. Beside the leaves, a small, vaguely-defined sprite-like faerie is placed as if the motion of the wind that lifted the leaves may have come from their movement.

A pencil drawing on lined paper of a plump, feminine-presenting gnome, holding a sheaf of wheat, a sickle at her hip and an unfurled scroll in her other hand, a pen behind one ear as she looks at the viewer and smiles calmly. Several large crystal points flank her on either side, while parts of the Virgo constellation can be seen marked out behind her, and the symbol of the same zodiac sign rises near her head, to our right.

A pencil drawing on a planner that held a printed ink linework drawing of a large mushroom. A feminine-presenting gnome has been drawn atop that mushroom, smiling with a teacup in her hands, as a vaguely-defined, sprite-like faerie floats around and above her.
