Turning flowers into fairies 🌻🌺✨🧚 (CHARACTER DESIGN CHALLENGE... but it didn't go so well lol)

[@BajuliiiQ]

I know fairies mostly translates to foragers, but hear me out: fairy knights? That way you get cute cottagecore fairy aesthetic AND ✨ladies with swords✨

[@jesterfairy3845]

Omg yessssss

I love this idea

"Brain no work right now" is about the most relatable content there is. Hope you feel less blocked soon. Know that we're with you in spirit, also suffering pollen death. EDIT: It's fantastic you're taking a vacation, especially with the extra busyness on top of your usual workaholic mode. It's well deserved and I hope you get plenty of r&r!

I love the dresses, makes me want to attempt to sew a real life version. The Daffodil dress has my heart. ❤️

3:43 I don't know how to feel that when you said red hair I got a notification for Rachel Maksy. The universe really wants me to draw Fairy clothes clearly.

“Bad art days.” What are you talking about?! Your art is so beautiful and I loved the designs! Please don’t bring yourself down :)

[@halidramzan2803]

Tell her!!!😍🤌

[@prodgypotato3199]

I love the last fairy sooo much, she just looks like she'll rope the other ones into a picnic near a river and get them to spill their guts about gossip from other fairies. I think her name would be Fayetta or Lila. Please get as much rest as you need before you try to challenge yourself with another one of these videos.

Fun fact: According to Greek Mythology Apollo created hyacinths. Hyacinth/Hyacinthus was one of Apollo’s lovers, but Zephyrus, the god of the west wind, was also in love with Hyacinthus. One day Apollo and Hyacinthus were playing discus and out of jealousy Zephyrus blew the discus towards Hyacinthus’s head accidentally killing him. Then distraught and full of grief Apollo forbade Hades to claim Hyacinthus’s soul. He instead turned him into a flower, and out of Hyacinthus’s blood grew the first hyacinth. The hyacinth is also a symbol of peace, commitment and beauty, and also of power and pride. *TLDR: Apollo turned his dead gay lover Hyacinthus into a flower after a jealous wind god killed him.* ✨☀️🧝🏼‍♂️👨‍❤️‍💋‍👨🌬🥏🧝🏼‍♂️🪦😭🌸🏹✨ *Edit: I love your designs!!!*

That's so cool I did not know that story! Also I live in a city called Saint-Hyacinthe it's nice to know what the name means.

Wow, they’re really beautiful, I love how they turned out ❤ Could you please do the planets/space 🪐 as mythical girls at some point, I think that would be really cool. Edit: (Obviously if you do not do them it’s totally fine, you should alway put you and your health first, sorry if I sound demanding).

[@citrusmoth1103]

Spring allergies are the worst, I’m with you. Cute designs as always! I think the second one was my favorite, I totally agree that the hairstyle fit it. I think an okay name for the third one would be Gigi. Maybe Freya/Freyja or Blaire for the second one?

[@StargazerDragonlove]

As someone about to graduate in two weeks I absolutely feel that "brain empty" mode. I have like...3 or 4 assignments left for the entire semester and I just don't want to look at any of them because I'm exhausted and can't process the words anymore. I wish you luck with graduation! May it all go smoothly :)

[@ToilAndStitch]

I think it would be really fun to have some whimsical trash demons. I specifically have a mighty need for one to be made of an old milk jug….. just wondering…. Do you think whole milk or 2% would read more whimsical?

[@asanyr9902]

Please do more full-length process videos or stream your process!! I love watching along them so much

Turn trash into fairies/character designs - kinda like the little trash mermaid It could be like a fairy colony that was forced to live in city’s and pollutions a problem…

0:21 to 0:28 there was a rickroll...I dont know if i hate you or love you for that Edit : NOT ONLY AT THERE

[@nighteclipse1045]

Seeing this a couple weeks before I compete in floriculture makes me so happy. I can't really explain why, but it does. I too am about to graduate at the end of May, so I feel your pain with dealing with all the things that wrap up your high school career. So, I wish you and everyone good luck with the end of the school year, no matter what grade you are in!

[@halley8105]

good luck with your competition

[@pockspocket]

did you just rickroll is in like the first 40 seconds of the video?

[@codeearth9820]

I really like the designs! This concept reminds me of the Flower Fairies series by Cicely Mary Barker. The designs in the books are more childlike and old (cause they were made in like the 1920s), but it's kind of the same idea. Hope you have a good vacation and get plenty of photosynthesis done!

[@Asuna-qr7ru]

The daffodil fairy's name would obviously be daphne, nettled iris could be astrid or cora, and hyacinth could be willow :D

[@MeLMeLMox]

Daffodil-Daffy Golden Nettled Iris-Niras/Cirus(i cant choose between the two) Hyacinth-Cinthya

[@avivagodfrey]

Right after your daffodil fairy, I was like...smacked in the face with inspiration that I thought was for a hydrangea fairy, but by the time it made it to my list it was like "No hon, you're from the south and like color." So now it's a Lantana fairy that will be rockin some nice steampunk looks with the 1880s lobster tail bustle and I'm actually really psyched to try drawing it. >A< This might just be me, but I felt like you chose some very...dignified??? Dignified flowers. And you might've had good luck with some slightly wilder choices. Stargazer lilies have really gorgeous patterns and coloring, for example. Or were you specifically looking for simpler, more dignified flowers? I'd love to hear why you picked these three. ovo (and just as I'm about to hit send I get struck with "lavender fairy = herbalist = a lavender fairy doctor" thankyou the wellspring of inspiration is deep as heck with this video)

[@apocalypsefrog2008]

"It's a little muddy but..there's a lot of mud in the forest" is my new favorite motivational quote. LOVE the vibe of the Iris fairy, I think the name Meredith would fit them nicely. Also maybe Anabel for the daffodil fairy? I love seeing your artistic process and it's always refreshing to know I'm not the only one who thinks negatively about my art, even when it genuinely looks really nice :) Sending you good vibes for the future!!

[@RocRolWriter]

The whole concept of this video takes me back. Way back. Specifically, it reminds me of me and my sister sitting on the floor as kids, reading the encyclopedia's section on flowers and discussing which ones fairies would use and for what purposes. I don't think either of us ever tried to draw any of them though...maybe someday.

[@amyloreen]

I’m new to your channel and have loved watching your art videos. These fairies are so cute! I think it would be interesting to see how you would interpret different types of water …. things. Like a waterfall, the ocean, a river, or a lake (like Lake Hillier in Australia). Also congratulations on graduating soon!

[@cutekitten4395]

Despite you not being 100% happy with your designs this episode I still really love them. I have been in a funk over my art for years after taking art in high school and it just killing my creative spirit and enjoyment of art. I really love seeing your art even when it's not the best cause you inspire me so much and your videos brighten up my life. Keep up the amazing work

[@PerlaBliss]

I want to see hyacinth again same skin color and original design with corset and flare pants but instead of pink do purple hyacinth and it will look bomb

[@violetpencil9614]

I can feel your disappointment. I can see why you don’t like them I know you love Maximalism, but those backgrounds really weren’t helping. The daffodil was probably the best one because it’s design was coherent and smooth.

[@violetpencil9614]

Rather than not explaining what I mean by that and actually being giving actual criticism that could be useful… The second fairy has very flat colors for its wings which looks very strange because you did a lot of shading and blending for the rest of it. The outfits super cool, I really enjoy genre blending in character designs especially if that’s the characters personality. I can totally imagine a punk girl who basically has her own style in a society which is mostly cottagecore even if it’s not time period appropriate. They’re fairies, let’s have fun girl. Although I think the main issue is just the colors and saturation.

[@violetpencil9614]

The last one is… It’s not it girl, yikes. I could tell you struggled with that design, but we as a community are very proud of you for managing to push through and actually finish the piece even if it’s not the best. It’s actually pretty nice to see someone you look up to make bad designs because it makes you look more human and really does show that don’t expect everything you make to look perfect. I really idolize your art, your style, and your ability to create tangible art.

I think for the background- you're faires already had a cute style and what would've been perfect would be the alphonse look, you could've traced the flowers and using just a flat gradient could've made it pop. I suck at backgrounds so any cheats to go simpler the better.

The three Flowers are: Daffodil (yellow); Orchids (purple); Hyacinth ( pink/purple-ish). Daffodil~ are easiest to grow, they come in bulbs, and generally vibe with most plants, and can live in any soil They are perennials: so they regrow every year. Orchids~ needs soil that doesn't clump/compress, and is deep, you can keep it from compressing by adding fine gravel/ mix in sand, they get also vibe with most plants. They grow better next to trees. It's perennial Hyacinth~ same as daffodils when it comes to planting, but may need chilled air to bloom, so keep them in shade, or if you live in an area with chilly spring mornings, you can just plant them wherever. Their perennial. If you ever wanna take any of these out of the garden, wait for them to stop blooming, then carefully dig out the bulbs/ roots( roots look a bit skinnier than a blob, also wrinkles a bit).

[@eloisetremblay58]

Love your vidéos. I don't know why but the jonquille, no daffodil (jonquille is in french) I mean the yellow flower gave me "art nouveau" vibes. Maybe because she's a red head drawn on the profil, but she's certainly my favorite. I would call her Camille. Prends du repos, I know what's like de mourir sous le poids des travaux scolaires haha

[@spaghettibete4286]

Ohh I haven't watched the video yet but 1. I'm sorry I in part made you feel bad :') I (along with probably a lot of the other viewers) will be pretty excited about any character design you make, so don't worry about it too much ^^' 2. Then again now I get to see flowery fairies so I'm not complaining >:D

[@eldritchabomination9726]

I think my favorite design is the third one, it looks so pretty! As for names I think Jessie for the first girl, Irene for the second, and Julia (J pronounced like an h) for the third?

[@Classicbutterscotch]

Not a name suggestion, but thought I’d throw a couple iPad art program options into the ring if procreate isn’t vibing for you! Art Studio Pro is pretty great, a mix between photoshop, procreate, and clip studio if that’s your thing, plus you can import abr brushes if you’ve got em 👀 there’s also infinite painter which is free for trial I believe, affinity designer (which is basically one-time-purchase photoshop for the iPad), and of course the clip studio app (this one only works if subscription payments don’t bother you though, lmao). Great video as always! ❤️

Art block. So you still make very cool art but it takes longer and you feel like shit all the while? Yeah not fun. And relatable :) Also it's admirable that you still go for it. Doing what is important for you is a more crucial decision when it is hard to make! Also you asked what we think of the designs so I got my critical eye out! An interesting observation that hit me right in the face is that they look less rendered than other designs I've seen you do. I don't mean it as a bad thing (oh gosh believe me) it's so cool to observe that having trouble with your art has made you call a piece ''finished'' sooner in the polishing maybe? To me it's can totally be a good decision because the designs are solid (and freakin pretty might I add) and even though they are less polished they are superb. It also probably took you more time because you were struggling so I think you worked hard enough :) The dafodil looks a bit more pushed too and it makes sense since you said you struggled less with her. Maybe that's why you like them less but of course you know that more than me! Again it's only an interpretation and in no way I mean that as ''art bad'' because they are really well made😅. It is inspiring me to work harder when it's important as I tend to put out nothing when I don't feel like it. Again they are awesome it just hit me like that and I feel it's important to talk about such things in art. I am always scared when making this kind of comment but hopefully you'll get my intention :) I really like what you do and please tell me if I overstepped I'm not good with this thought sharing thingy that people do. That would also help me so yeah!

To your comment on the last design. Not a better artist, a different artist. A different artist may have been able to pull that original concept together more cohesively. Saying a “better” artist puts yourself down, and you don’t deserve that.
