'You Must Vanquish the Stars That Blind You' For my fictional video game Donne Toi la Lune
Posting the silly boobie potion here because it's the only place I can post it. A little inspiration came from the 1828 miniature self portrait Sarah Goodridge painted of her breasts.
I sometimes feel afraid to share my moments of happiness. I don't want to take away from how grave the state of the world is. But I've had so many days where a single smile from a stranger made a huge difference for me, so maybe I should share happiness, in case my smile can help someone else too 💜
Every day I wake up with the Malo Mart song as my alarm and it never fails to scare the shit out of me for some reason. Anyway...here's a closeup of the face of Our Lady of Red Ravens from the last post.

I've been pleasantly surprised at how many people have felt the sense of nurturing in this piece. What about you? Do you find this piece unsettling or sweet or both? Album art for the band Shivera
When playing Donne Toi la Lune as the Huntsmink, you have the option to start hunts of your own, which could be useful for battles. But be mindful, for the Huntsmink is already an erratic character to control, and giving into the Hunt tends to be a setback to the player’s progress with him.
You feel ill at ease among the pines. Something dreamlike and dreary makes your head swim with the shifting shadows as a low buzzing whispers beneath the wind. Then, a blinding light, artificial stars screaming from the ruins as they manifest the glinting maws of the Cosmic Static that hunts you.
'TRiCK' A one-off fake video game piece that I'd love to do more concept work for someday. Unlike Donne Toi la Lune, my main project, I'd actually love this to be a real game!
My newest collection, Fifteen Pieces of an Unfinished World is now live! You can see them all here: www.ariafawn.com/fifteen-piec...
I illustrated the cover for a first edition of a book on @realgdt.bsky.social by Third Éditions that released this week!
All things return to the earth and become something new. All things in nature function in a cycle. When I feel like I'm getting buried beneath blackened earth, moments of beautiful life always find a way to creep through, reminding me that something wonderful might still grow from the heaviness
Sit for a spell, be idle in your repose. The stillness is as much a part of your journey as the blood on your hands, as the ache in your bones, as the static in your mind
Mob Psycho 100 seriously undid me in the best way. Finished it two days ago and I'm still emotional and beyond inspired. The paint on glass techniques used in some of the animation blew my mind. I really needed this show in my life right now 💜

New youtube video chatting about the emotional meaning behind Donne Toi la Lune's title: youtu.be/MC8T4U0zx30?...
'Far out in the way beyond, a vast, crystalline desert lies cradled by the cosmic ocean. Deep within the shining rocks, you hear a song that echoes like hollow ghosts chasing you from void to void.' More from my fake video game Donne Toi la Lune
‘ Remember the days when you’d wait for me at my mountain? Before you forgot my teachings beneath your own ego Before the shadows grew beyond her light Before the darkness hid my heart and made you forget me? And now, the weight of a memory returns to you, and you’ll bear it indeed.’

Living in a world where Death Stranding exists genuinely brings me so much hope and optimism. There's really nothing strange enough we can create that won't be beloved by someone <3
So...I made a Youtube video: youtu.be/qWzZbE4Jq6s?... This is a bit of a vulnerable discussion about creative fears and delving fully into my fake video game Donne Toi la Lune. If you decide to watch, I hope you enjoy! There will be more to come 💜
Oh my goodness did I feel stuck this past week but Super Eyepatch Wolf released an extended version of his Unreality of Pro Wrestling video so life is bright again (if you know me...you know my weird love for the original) Here's an unrelated WIP
'A Song to Call the Muses Home' the muse has always found me working, not waiting for them to show up. Mine like attention, not avoidance. How do you call your muses?
Working away on another Donne Toi la Lune piece (my fake video game)My brain has been SO full lately, which always slows down my work but I'm enjoying the hell out of this process nonetheless 💜
