kink bingo artses

[pauraque_bk]

I didn't think I'd have time to do fic for kink_bingo this year, so I thought I'd do art instead, but... here it is almost the end of amnesty, and I've only finished two pieces. Art is hard! I need to practice more.

These are both original, with text from my conlang Saolõ. (It's not my most developed conlang, but it does have the prettiest script.) They're ink and watercolor on paper, with cut-out elements.

Queen Nikué and her slave
For the 'service' square.





Text: T'aluẽ lási sumusípe Adouẽ Nikué Tálbasu, tuiuẽ emuẽ a ámilbu páopi Síli Piã, a kaéte Elbeuẽ lanomãm sa k'éti. Sẽmalu a iéletu takalipéle al sáopili taesidéle al épi t'aluédu. - Piã

Translation: A desert slave serves Queen Nikué Tálbasu, who is chief wife and eternal beloved of King Piã, and who causes (the land of) Elbeuẽ to be awestruck with (her) beauty. The sun and moon wish in vain that they could be in that slave's place. - Piã



Aituẽ and the Sea Serpent
For the 'breathplay' square.





Text: Iásolu sesãde Aituẽ k'il iuédu teuẽlu. Laõnulu sep'iálda télu káitu a meuẽ suãbe k'il k'olduélu káitu.

Translation: The sea serpent pulls Aituẽ into the deep water. The breath leaves her chest and pleasure blossoms in her soul.

I love your style! The pose of the slave is so elegant. :)

Thanks. :)

These are wonderful! I love how joyful the colours are, and the strong inking and the crispness added by the cut-out shapes. And the alphabet/writing you've created flows so beautifully — it all comes together like something with a whole culture and a real history behind it.

Also, you've been on my mind and I'm so sorry I haven't replied to your email yet. :/ The last month and a half have been something between a squeeze and a rush. But I haven't forgotten. The kids' school term ends next week — that ought to help.

Thanks. *hugs* Don't feel bad, really! I know how crazy RL has been for you lately. I've been running around like mad myself. This is our kid's last week of school too, and then we're going right into a vacation, eep.

These are really gorgeous. I love the watercolor/papercut technique you use, and I love how the palettes and styles of both pieces fit together, like an artistic tradition to match the language.

Thanks! That's just what I was going for.
