The encounter

"Far, far away in the woods
The scent of freshly disturbed soil
Humus sprinkled by the mist
A dead tree, rebirth
The Beast lies in wait, still vigilant
Oh, you who dare to enter
Be aware"

An ancient inscription found on a stone, unknow writer

"Loin, loin dans les bois
Odeur de sol remuée
Humus arrosé par la brume
Arbre mort, renouveau
La Bête guette, toujours veillante
Oh toi qui t'y aventure
Prend garde à toi"

Ancienne inscription trouvée sur une pierre, auteur inconnu

The creature is inspired by an unfinished paper figurine that I've made some time ago. 💚 Made with watercolours on paper ✨️

Moss Grotto 🌿💚

FINALLY! As soon as I saw the trailer at Gamescom, I knew that it was time to do it. To make this fanart as a tribute for the game.

Not a spoiler, it's the first area of the game. Full of green, full of moss, I love it. 🥰

Goat Boy ~ #kawafitober26

This might not be what people were expecting for this prompt, but I just couldn't miss the opportunity to draw Ralsei (from Deltarune game) for the firts time ✨️ and for once I swapped my usual watercolours for alchool markers. It's good to change sometime 🥰

Thornblade ~ Cursed Relics 2026

The blade of a fallen knight who died in regret and sorrow. Reborn from the earth, in the heart of the brambles. Whoever believes they are brave enough to hold it will succumb to the Curse of the Thorn.

It took me way longer than expected 😵 so I’m a little late for showing you my entry for #cursedrelics2026.
I chose only the prompt Thornblade, which inspired me to create this sword haunted by the souls of dead knights.

There are no religious references or religious interpretations for this drawing. I simply chose the crown of thorns as a motif and for the storytelling🌿

Swipe if you want to see a little bit of my wip 🥰

You as a Demon 👹 Kawafitober 2026

This is my first time participating in this really cute art challenge (just take a look at the list of themes 😍)

Let me introduce myself as requested by the rules✨️ I'm Mystimily, a traditional artist from Switzerland passionate about fantasy, folklore (especially medieval European and Japanese) and nature 🌿✨️ Usually my favorite colors is green, but for this drawing, I wanted to challenge myself a little by using shades of purple and pink.

I was inspired by Japanese folklore, I drew myself as an Oni (Japanese demon) wearing traditional clothing inspired by Kabuki theater (patterns, colors, outfits…).

(Swipe to see the scanned version, I'm a huge fan of this type of post with a nice pic behind the illustration 🫢💓💓)

Coeur-des-bois, the First Rabbit Knight ✨️🌿☘️

"The Order of the Valiant Knights Cotton-Tails was founded by Coquille Cœur-des-bois, a proud rabbit who never turned her back on the weaks. Even nowadays, her bravery and sense of justice inspire many to become knights"

A new watercolour illustration that I've made during this week. It's not perfect, the light source and shadows aren't quite what I wanted. I'm going to make some adjustments to it for the prints for next year's conventions 🤞

🌿🌿🌿

Traduction de la petite légende lié à cette image :

"L'ordre des Preux Chevalier à la queue de coton a été fondée par Coquille Cœur-des-bois, une fière lapine qui jamais n'a tourné le dos aux plus faibles. Encore aujourd'hui sa bravoure et sa justice en inspirent plus d'un à devenir chevalier."
