Stuck 4 hours at the train station yesterday, so I drew this entire world freehand with just a ballpoint pen. No pre-sketch, no plan, the story just appeared.

@davidrevoy This is lovely, but it makes me wonder if fairies are ever able to sleep on their backs...

@lhauser
Thank you. And good point. I now wonder what is a ideal bed for a fairy. Especially if they are two. Does this mean a couple of fairy can't spoon to go to sleep? That's sort of sad

Wow! This is such a vibe! Between stellar alt text and the story in the picture, I am obsessed. 🧚

@davidrevoy I love that the Fediverse looks at a enchanting scene of a mice army, complete with bottle cap shields and lizard/bird mounts, surrounding a sleeping fairy...
...and immediately jumps to "That six-sided die in the corner seems unrealistic."
@windigo
Exactly! I can't imagine what would happen if I drew an imaginary big keyboard with a fictional keyboard layout from memory. -
@davidrevoy So nice! A friend of mine (who gives me pencils) always says that the ideas are already in those pencils. All you have to do is draw it out.
@astridpoot That's beautifully said!

Not sure I can be relax enough inside an elevator to draw like that! A train station, yes, full of passenger stuck and with the "next info in 15minutes" left really a special moment in space/time. It's sort of easy to navigate with an access to the toilets and cheap food. Part of the comfort of waiting there for an undefined amount of time. Also, sunny and soft weather in Montpelier yesterday, it helped at staying positive and just sketch and enjoy.
@davidrevoy yes that's definitely a different environment than a stuck subway elevator (that's what happened to me). On the other hand, I wonder what kind of drawings that will inspire...? Haha. Not that I wish it on you or anything!
Really like the drawing:)

But it seems that there is a problem with your « AI only » text at the end. There is no banana involved…

@amic Thank you! I'll check La famille Souris, thanks for pointing it.
Ha, right, banana peels probably can help the process of strengthening the paper. I'll check what I can do for the next one!
