here she is!! the oldest and fluffiest princess of iphimery, second in line for the throne! - early 30s - local autism creature - shy and easily socially exhausted - does not enjoy being a public figure, if you want her to be a useful royal give her some paperwork and a quiet room - likes to do Small Crafts. embroidery, tiny paintings, making jewellery out of shells, things like that - she's paying attention even if it doesn't look like it

I FORGOT TO DRAW HER CROWN...

actually she doesn't like the sensory feel of it and prefers to wear a pendant or a ring instead if she can help it, or some other substitute

@ako-kipali i understand! and as a reward for your Honesty i can offer you this:

some brainstorming sketches of Eldest Princess from a while back! i CANNOT say if her final design will end up anything like it or if 'Adania' will be her final name, but it's all i've got currently :'D

3 days of artfight and my revenge backlog is already ridiculous, but in honor of dear kipali catapulting this royal family ensemble attack i think i should finally create a proper ref for her,,

so after watching the nimona movie and rereading the nimona graphic novel i scrolled ND stevenson's nimona tag (i will not apologize to my sideblog followers for the reblogging spree. in fact you are welcome), and you know what's interesting? most of the nimona art had a couple hundred notes, more recent ones over a thousand. i think the posts have gotten a couple more since yesterday, too. it may sound like a lot, but in the scope of Popular Online Artistdom it's not super much? nate had a lot of other popular tumblr posts that really made the rounds, but nimona was a fairly well known and beloved webcomic that got adapted into a graphic novel i saw on the shelves even in norwegian bookstores. nimona ran during the golden age of tumblr. nate got invited to dashcon. nate and nimona are basically THE tumblr success story. and yet!

it's interesting to me because across social media, many people seem to think Number Of Notes = Success, but that's not reeeally the case. this is Not me saying notes are nothing - but it's not THE indicator of how good/loved/successful/monetizeable your art is. which, to me, is really heartening.

staying at a friend's place and helping out with chores while they're at work

pros: they're fully on top of laundry for the first time in forever!

cons: storage spaces are full. there's not enough clothes hangers. the ecosystem is in shambles. we've hunted laundry to extinction and are facing the ramifications
