Love the new Nohr fairy tail notebook! Two questions:

Will this be available digitally? (Shipping to Canada cost more than the notebook 😭)

Are you planning on having more stock later in the year?

Avatar

Thank you!

No, sorry. I'm aware the shipping is terrible, it pained me to type it lol but paper is so heavy and though it should be a somewhat light notebook, it goes over the 100gr mark😭

Yes! I don't know for how long since I will print the quantity depending on how preorders go, but it has high moqs so I will try to make a single run and print as much as I can this time.

Seems like a random and out of the blue question so apologies if you talked about this already somewhere but-

What your thoughts on Gen 2 Nohrians (royals/non-royals) and the relationships with their respective fathers? The concept of babyrealms is ... questionable to say the least but I do like observing some of these characters through the bonds they have with their children, like Odin and Ophelia or Xander and Siegbert for example.

Anyhow- Keep doing what you do! Every piece you create is incredibly inspiring!

Thank you a lot!! No problem! To be honest I have been mostly ignoring the second gen because of the babyrealms basically. I think most Fates criticism is in bad faith and not even true, but this really is the one thing I could do with.

There are a lot of really good designs among the kids and some interesting concepts, but you really gotta make up their whole story and most of their relationships because all of them come with a built-in "baby realm backastory" that's not really interesting nor unique. They neither have any impact in the current story. I know they have a dlc but I'm not a fan of parents died and kid take over and definitely doesn't do any favors to integrating them with the main cast. I'm more about analyzing every single detail than making up my own story so it's a side of Fates I never looked into.

This said Xander and Siegbert are the most likely relationship, probably because Xander is old enough and has a fatherly personality, but I think their actual relationship would be similar. I like the idea of Leo helping with his education, but that's more about the brothers that Siegbert himself.

I did love Selkie in Feh though, her design is the cutest and her just a silly girl personality doesn't need any lore to work.

Who do you prefer to play as in fire emblem 3 houses and engage? I too prefer the male avatar for Awakening and the female for Fates!

Same! I never got to play much as a female in Awakening in fact.

Even though I like the female for Fates I chose the male for Birthright. The way the routes are written make them feel different characters!

I just discovered your art and it makes me really happy to see how much passion you have for Fates and its characters, and your art skills make so many of them shine even brighter, it's almost like your drawings are conveying more stories of them, it makes me imagine things in my head, it's very inspiring

Thank you so much!!

I'm so glad to hear that! There are a lot of things I like about them or can see them doing but I'm not good at words so I try to convey my vision of them through my drawings.

Hi! I'm planning on buying the stickers set (sleeping royals) but I'm a bit confused. The description says that you get 9 models per box (repeated twice) but when selecting I see options for Nohr and Hoshido. If I select Nohr will I get 18 of only Nohr characters?

Omg sorry, that was the leftover from something else. I used copy product for these and forgot to edit the text . The sets are the ones in the pictures, one of each of the Hoshido or Nohr royals (5 stickers each set)

Hello! I found you had a post detailing commission prices, but I just wanted to know if the prices were up-to-date? I also wanted to double check and make sure that you're even open for commissions at this time. I'd love to commission you if you are, although I will have to save a little bit in preparation first! Have a wonderful day. 💖

Hi! Sorry all commission posts I have are very outdated. I would like to open commissions in one or two months, but I'm still trying to find a way to approach them in a way I can handle them and what to do with the prices. Thank you a lot, have a great day!

Recently replayed Fates and have been looking through tags of my favorite characters and that’s how I discovered your amazing art. It’s so awesome to see people still talking about Fates 8 years after release and the numbers you get on your posts are impressive. I had no idea Fates still had any sort of popularity nowadays but I’m very happy to see it does.

It's wonderful to see new people playing the game even now!

And I'm indeed surprised myself at how Fates it's still holding out. I thought making merch for it would be inviable at some point, but it has been 7 years since I started and I can still do well at cons with a mostly Nohr royals table. The fandom may not be very active but it's not dead either, and lot of people seem to remember the characters fondly. I can't chose when to like something else even if nobody cared anymore, but it's really heartwarming to see my beloved characters are still well liked.
