Silly Very Self-indulgent Artemis Fowl X Figure Skating Drawing 👀 With, As @laeliana Suggested, Artemis

Hmm... Not weird, but sweet fact about me : when I was born, my grandma thought the maternity bay was not heated enough and she bought a blue fleece blanket to make sure I was warm. I have never, not for a single night slept without this blankie since that first ever day of my life. So, kudos to grandma for making a very insightful investment lol 😅 When I was a wee kiddo, I'd run around dragging my blankie around me everywhere, so my parents joked that I was helping them dust the floor and said the blankie was my "Serpillière" (Mop). And that's the story of how "Serpi" (Moppie) became my childhood best friend and lifelong doudou 💙 I still cannot sleep without her and take her with me anytime I travel 27 years later 😊 One of her corners is my favourite one to rub my fingers on as a soothing stim (she's become soooo soft there after decades of stimming lmao) and is starting to fall into pieces a bit ^^" But it's funny because the holes there look like she's a pale blue ghost with a face now ! 👻

it's so weird to me that everyone on this website is a human person outside of their weird internet niche so rb this with a random bit of your lore

Opale? Please oh please?

There she is ! 😈 I’ve literally never drawn Opal before, so here goes. There are still a few things I’d like to tweak in the sketch, but I’ll start coloring it soon I think. There are two “pictures” in one because I was inspired by an Ashnikko song. I’ll explain more in due time ✨

Smol Artemis sketches 🤍

Been experimenting with new brushes, now it looks much closer to my actual trad art style. That’s nice 😊

🧡 young Tim & Angeline redraw 🧡 So many things I'm unhappy with in this drawing, but since I draw mostly for my mental health, when I start to get frustrated is my cue to just let the piece be done. I'm still quite pleased to see how far I've progressed with Procreate since I first started ! I won't repost the original drawing though, even though it's a testament of my journey it still makes me cringe, it's so bad x')

Also, again for the ask thing: since I love how you write Artemis, do you have other inspirations for him outside Colfer's books? Like, music, or other characters in books or series, that helps you "channeling" him :3

Oooooh, I love this question !! (and thank you so much for the compliment you’re so sweet 🥹)

To be honest I’ve never really thought about it that way ; Artemis is just a character that I’ve thoroughly obsessed over for almost a decade now :’) so the child is kinda part of my dna now ^^"

But my interpretation of him is probably very influenced by mtv series Daria. This show has been my absolute favourite forever ! My mum had all 5 seasons and 2 feature films on DVDs, and I watched them on loop absolutely everyday, I knew all the dialogues by heart and Daria and Jane were my spirit animals.

I really recommend all of the Fowldom to check this series out ; the main character Daria is extremely intelligent, witty and cynical, she is a great source of inspiration for me in writing Artemis ^^ and also the show is just absolutely great and so freaking funny. (also worth mentioning that I’ve always headcanoned that Juliet had an early teen phase where she was a lot like Quinn ; when I write Artemis and Juliet I’m always inspired by Daria and Quinn ^^)

Another big inspiration, though more recent, is definitely Aurora. She is my absolute beloved, my Stendhal syndrome, her music is everything to me ; and since I am a maniac and cannot be trusted not to combine all my hyperfixations, I’ve always felt like Aurora is very much a “what Artemis could have been", had he had a shot at freedom in his childhood. A lot of her songs (All My Demons, In Bottles, It Happened Quiet, Conflict of the Mind, My Body is Not Mine, Invisible Wounds…) I strongly, strongly associate with Artemis - my interpretation of him at least.

That’s what the key thing must be, though. I think over the years, I’ve really crafted an interpretation of Artemis that really feels like my own. I see him as an initially extremely empathetic, emotionally acute person ; who was broken by his father’s neglectful and abusive parenting, and forced to learn to silence his feelings in the name of Family and Business - and his journey is all about reconnecting with his emotions. I know it’s not that far out there of a take, there are a lot of hints in the books that can point this direction ; but this notion that within Artemis there is a permanent thunderstorm of emotions and deeply embedded guilt, a desire to prove himself worthy of love and respect, is really my main guideline when I write him :)

Thank you so much @laeliana for letting me ramble ^^"

This could be Butler's Tinder (or Badoo because he's a little bit of a boomer) profile bio. If that's the case, I reckon Juliet wrote it, in fact she probably created his profile and he isn't even aware. Whatever this is, I find this combination of three words is actually a very accurate description of him.
