A pencil drawing of a plus size, feminine-presenting gnome and a plus size, feminine-presenting elf standing together in a still pool, two of their hands clasped together, the gnome looking angrily trepidatious and the elf looking comfortingly patient. Small spheres float up and around them from the surface of the water, indicating the presence of magic.

** #thankgnomeitsfriday !! ** More Tock in *immense* gratitude for my #tockthegnome volume 1 release party last night! Thank you SO much to everyone who came out, including my beloved family and friends, and the amazing team at Protagonist Books & Coffee 💗 #gnome #faerie #devotional #gaslampfantasy

A pencil drawing of a plump, feminine-presenting gnome in a steampunk/gaslamp fantasy styled gown, covered in sooty smudges and holding both hands to her chest. She smiles, eyes closed, obviously grateful. Lines and dots around her indicate sparkles in the air, and a curving line indicates the path of a stylized heart floating above her pointed cap.

✨ Ding ding!! ✨ A new page of #tockthegnome is now available for reading. – www.patreon.com/rachelillust... (Comic beginning here – www.patreon.com/posts/quot-t... ) 🎩💕 #indiecomics #comics #queercomics #gnomes #orcs #sapphic #queer #romantasy #monsterromance

A cropped preview of the most recent page of “Tock the Gnome,” focusing on a plump, feminine-presenting, gaslamp fantasy styled gnome peeking out from behind a tree, features concerned and speech bubbles whited out. The preview shows that that panel is in pencil and purple wax pigment, while the rest of the page appears to be drawn in black ink and finished with olivey-green wax pigment highlights, as implied by edges of other panels showing at the sides and bottom of the preview.

A pencil drawing of a plump, feminine-presenting, gaslamp fantasy styled gnome sitting on the shoulder of a broad, simply dressed, feminine-presenting orc, both embracing each other as best they can in that position and looking comforted and relieved.

A pencil drawing on grey paper of a plus size, feminine-presenting elf calling across a space to a stocky, masculine-presenting fantasy dwarf sitting and reading in a different physical area, clearly able to hear her and pleased about it. That magic is indicated by echoing shapes of a speech bubble coming across the space between them, to her left (the viewer’s right).

A pencil drawing, digitally tinted to look like dark green linework on light green paper, of a plump, feminine-presenting gnome reaching up to cradle a swirling flow of spheres of energy that move from a star at her chest, while she smiles calmly and contently, her eyes a little manic.

** #thankgnomeitsfriday !! ** Sometimes the best offering one can manage is a smol stress relief Gnome drawn in a moment of exterior frustration. And that’s okay. The fae are here for us and with us in all moods. #gnome #fae #faerie #spiritual #devotional #bodypositiveart #fantasyart #fairyart

A photograph of a very tiny, plump, feminine-presenting gnome drawn on purple post-it paper, torn at the top and adhered to a corkboard, all digitally tinted to be even more vibrantly purple. The gnome looks very disgruntled, arms crossed, eyes closed, while small faerie wings begin to manifest from her back and spiraling lines of energy flow off of her and up the page.

A pencil drawing of a feminine-presenting orc, holding a gear-bladed knife tip-down at her middle. Her expression is comically shaded out to indicate that she’s blushing intensely, and small stylized hearts surround her head.

An ink drawing of a plus-size, tree-bark-capped, feminine-presenting gnome with inverted vitiligo across her face and chest, staring up and smiling as a very large butterfly made of small stars lands on her nose, more of its stars floating up and off the page, interrupting a thick, black curving line that flows up and off the page in the same direction, from around the gnome herself.

** #thankgnomeitsfriday !! ** Something quick, as it’s been a heavier week than expected. #tockthegnome -context-wise, they’re of the generation before a certain curse occurred… 💫🤫 #gnome #faerie #spiritual #devotional #fantasyart #fairyart #bodypositiveart #stars #indiecomics #queercomics

A pencil drawing on a post it, digitally tinted to look like green paper, of a plus size, feminine-presenting gnome drawn from the chest up in vaguely regency-styled garb, turning and smiling and reaching toward a single small star that has floated around behind them and to their left. Swirling lines indicate the star’s path, and other, lighter curving lines fill the background to indicate even more energy around them.

A pencil drawing of a masculine-presenting, deer-like faerie, flanked by several other faeries only vaguely penciled in, small spheres of magical energy floating above and around him and one cloven hand reaching out toward the viewer, though his head is turned to the side, tilted up, eyes closed and smiling.

A pencil drawing of a plump, gaslamp-fantasy styled, feminine-presenting and soot smudged gnome standing and turning to look at a small sprite that holds out a very small star to her. She looks delighted, the energy of the piece calmly jubilant. The path of the sprite’s motion toward the gnome is reminiscent of a railway turnout.

** #thankgnomeitsfriday !! ** Something chill (TockOnna from #tockthegnome ) as I settle back into life post-NYFF. So gorgeous and wonderful as always. Adjusting back to mortal life but grateful! #gnome #orc #faerie #romantasy #monsterromance #bodypositiveart #queer #lgbtqia #fantasyart #fairyart

A pencil drawing, digitally tinted green, of a plump, gaslamp-fantasy-styled, feminine-presenting gnome looking dazed but content and cradling a stylized heart at her chest, while a feminine-presenting orc stands behind and beside her protectively, a shield on one arm and her gaze on a Faerie star to her left. One faerie wing manifests from each of their shoulders, on the outsides of the image.

A pencil drawing of an elf and an orc glaring daggers at each other while a single gnome holds them apart, his gaze of complete done-ness pointed at the viewer. Stylized sun, moon and stars over both the arguers heads indicate the nature of their disagreement.

Both are dressed gaslamp-fantasy style with caps that bear designs similar to the original flag and the demisexual pride flag, respectively, while the rest of their garb integrates the new flag’s pattern and colors.

An illustration of a plump, feminine-presenting, gaslamp-fantasy-styled gnome kissing a feminine-presenting orc, their clothes and bodies colored like the LGBTQ+ Pride flag, and faerie wings beginning to manifest from them both, the gnome’s in the colors and pattern of the demisexual pride flag, the orc’s in the colors and pattern of the pansexual pride flag. They are both blushing, very intent on each other, as the orc pulls at the gnome’s stay laces as well, suggestively.
