vesnaragast:Words cannot describe how talented and amazing @rowatree is. I am so glad I was brave enough to message her when I realized that her fanart took up 90% of my favorites for the ADSoM community, and so happy that she answered me in such a kind and down to Earth manner. I never could have imagined the friendship that followed! I adore chatting with her, and her work is beyond gorgeous (I even got a pretty sweet care package from her recently – I’d like you to know, I shrieked over it in my car when I opened it!) and this piece she’s done for me means a LOT.It’s an anniversary piece for @potchwocket and I. Not only did I give Rowa pictures of the university Colby and I have attended since undergrad to choose from to draw a scene in, but she chose one of my favorites and brought it to life in this fanart, and when we become MA holders in December, I believe we’ll have to sneak into this building to have our graduation photographer take a similar photo. I’ve lost count on how many years we’ve technically been together now, but he shoved the Shades of Magic trilogy at me when I was extremely depressed after my mother passed, and when I caught a bad bout of Bronchitis, was quarantined, and anxious because my bosses were ready to fire me. I read the books in no time, stated to him that we’d be cosplaying Kell and Lila that year, and not only did we bring them to Dragon*Con in the same year, but we also met @veschwab in October, who had found a photo I posted of our finished cosplays talking about how we were going to Dragon*Con.From there, we had so many people who liked and commented on V.E. Schwab’s photo of us find us at Dragon*Con, yell at us as we walked around that Saturday night brandishing various alcoholic drinks and laughing at nothing… we made so many friends (we were chased down going into a pub; I feel like that’s an important detail to note)!This book series has brought me some of the best people in my life, inspired my first tattoo, gave me the first cosplay I worked on completely solo (that is subsequently my favorite cosplay to wear because I feel powerful and confident when I never feel like that on a day to day basis), and gave Colby and I characters we can relate to in a magical world full of adventures.Thank you again, Rowa! This piece encompasses a lot of things for me, and you, once again, have created something so beautiful that I’m just… stunned.***DO NOT REMOVE CAPTION OR CREDIT*** THANK YOU for messaging me, I always love meeting people in the adsom community and I’m honestly so glad I got to know you!!also yall please check out her lila cosplays because they’re GOLD -- source link
