Fanart: Auryn the Beautiful

Dear Xan,

Once again you wrote an amazing book that I could not put down! It gave me FEELINGS! I'm the luckiest beta reader ever!

So of course I gotta draw fanarts! =D

And although the book is about an enby teen returning to their ancestral island home only to get snarled up in an ancient magical plot involving a pansexual psychopomp, the one to get the first fanart is neither Ash nor Rowan. It's Auryn! =D

Here she is!

When we went for a morning walk yesterday, we didn't expect to see much but… the wildlife had other plans! =D First there were ducks and bugs, as usual…

Rhododendrons [Daily Photo #787]

Today during our walk we heard and saw baby birds! First, we came across a birdhouse occupied by great tits. The parents were flying in and out, and their babies were making cutest little noises! Then we saw a mother duck with tiny-tiny ducklings swimming! One of the ducklings tried to chase after a bug but wasn't successful. ^^;;
