Ok so i don't have the book with me and I won't be able to get it anytime soon, but i wanted to ask: what village or town does Alina come from and was she orphaned because of the shadowfold or because of a border war with another country? did Mal come from
Thank you! I’m glad you like S&B and I love questions :)
Mal and Alina come from a group of nameless settlements in the valley of Dva Stolba, near the southern border. Their families were the victims of one of the flare ups in the border wars with Shu Han. Technically, they weren’t orphaned by the Shadow Fold, but I think it’s worth saying that Ravka wouldn’t be nearly as vulnerable to attack from the north and the south if it hadn’t been crippled by the Fold.
now back to work I go :)

You are a Zuko AND Mako fan? We should be best friends forever. Fire Nation love. <3
I do love Mako, but I’ll admit to not being a hardcore Makorra shipper. I’m curious to see what happens in season 2. (And I hope Tahno is back!!)

I’m sorry but this is just the best thing ever.

Some doodles of Genya, Alina, Mal, Zoya (and a little David) from the lovely fantasy Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo.
I like giving Alina goofy expressions :3
So much adorableness happening here! The “hat head”! AND I checked out clzwart’s blog and she has hipster Mako!! So much

NOT YOUR USUAL DISNEY PRINCESS QUOTES
So I decided to make something Disney inspired and got lines from the movies. And YES, they did say that at one point in their respective movies.

I just finished reading Shadow and Bone and I am so excited you have a blog! I've been drawing some fan art and I was struggling to find good costume references... I think I was on the right track but it helps to see exactly what inspired you! I'm curious,
Fanart fanart fanart! *does the fanart dance* *resorts to elaborate gestures and clapping*
Ravka was inspired by Tsarist Russia of the early 1800s. I have loads of inspiration on my pinterest boards.
Can’t wait to see what you come up with!
