π€ Character you least understand?
Thatβs such a tricky question to answer, depending on how you interpret βunderstandβ. Thank you for asking ! After pondering for a bit, I think Iβll say Artemisβ grandfather. What I donβt understand about this person, is why we know so absolutely little about him, when he should be SO important to explain why Tim became Tim, and thus how Artemis became Artemis. The little we do know about this grandfather just feels off and weird to me. Basically, heβs only truly mentioned three times : - In book 1, Angeline mistakes Artemis for his grandfather, and talks to him extremely fondly and casually, even calling him (in the French version at least) by the most informal term possible to adress a grandparent/FIL ; indicating a very warm and soft relationship ? Though it might just be her psychotic episode distorting the actual truth of how they interacted ? - Then Tim, in TEC, claims that his father only treated him as a businessman and barely knew him as a person ; if his relationship with his father was so cold and distant, why would Angeline show this man such kindness, when we know how fierly protective she is of the ones she loves ? - And then, in TAC Artemis recalls a fond memory of spending time in his grandfatherβs workshop. Sure it might be Angelineβs father in this memory but I donβt think it is. I feel like Timβs father deserved to be a much more prominent, menacing shadow, even being long dead before the start of the first book. I would have loved to know more about him (like, I donβt know, a name would have been nice ^^β), but thatβs also just me wanting to know more about the Fowl family in general. The good thing here at least, is that there is such little lore that it gives a lot of leeway for headcanons π And oh, how many do I have about this man π
Smol Artemis sketches π€
Been experimenting with new brushes, now it looks much closer to my actual trad art style. Thatβs nice π

Meep π³ β¨ Give you and your writing a compliment. Go on now. You know you deserve it. π
Your writing is not too shabby, if I can say so myself π πΆ Do you listen to music while you write? What song have you been playing on loop lately?
Always !! Lately, I've been listening a lot to Prokofiev's Death of Juliet. Most infuriating piece of music ever -- the melody is drop dead gorgeous, but only last for about ten seconds π I need someone to whip up an extended version of that theme !! π€― What's a genre you struggle with as a writer (ex. romance, action, etc.)?
Comedy ! It's so hard to pull off !
Thank you so much bittersuite π
β¨β½ΰΌβΌ Fairy Ring β½ΰΌβΌβ¨ It's been too long since I had the time to draw my favorite lil gremlin. A somewhat-confirmed-but-still-a-bit-of-an-headcanon I've always had is that Artemis has pretty much always been obsessed with fairies - obsessed, as in reading all the books and resources he can find on the topic, filling notebooks upon notebooks with sketches, paintings and scientific observations, composing entire symphonies on banshees and various magical creatures... ... and also, willing to spend entire days observing the fairy ring he found inside Fowl estate's woods hoping to find an actual fairy. Here, he's found a dragonfly (as a nod to Pan's Labyrinth), that seems to be strangely glowing, and he is very happy in his mischievous way π Do not worry, the dragonfly was left unscathed - Artemis tried to capture it, failed (ending up covered in mud after splatting face-first in the grass like the athlete he is), went to the manor to ask Butler to help, was thoroughly chewed out by both Butler and his parents for disappearing for hours, and was ultimately sent to take a warm bath after spending an entire afternoon soaking wet in the rain. He did catch a cold, and was very upset that he might have had the chance to capture a tiny fairy but let it slip. Just be patient, Arty π (Now, is the dragonfly actually magical or not ? I had fun playing with a surreal lighting to left it open to interpretation π§ββοΈ)
Of course Artemis Fowl for the fandom ask thing :3
Thank you for the ask !! :D Here goes :
the character i least understand I already answered this one in a separate ask, but letβs interpret the question differently - and honestly, I donβt think I have one. I feel like all the characters in the book are pretty straightforward in what their goals, needs, motives and morals are, sure some of them are jerks but itβs understandable why they are jerks - and those that are more difficult to figure out, itβs mostly just because they are not that developed and mostly side characters.
interactions i enjoyed the most Artemis and Angeline in book one were so heartbreaking, in a good way. Itβs really one of the things that drew me in the most when I first read the book. I loved the complexity of their dynamics, and was so sad to see it get mostly abandoned for the rest of the series :β( But outside of them, just everything Artemis and Butler. I love this duo with my whole heart.
the character who scares me the most If I were to run into him in the street, I would be terrified of Butler for sure. But as a writer, I think it would be Foaly ! I find him so difficult to write faithfully, itβs hard to do him justice.
the character who is mostly like me Angeline. Without a shadow of a doubt.
hottest looks character Pass. I just donβt think about them that way :)
one thing i dislike about my fave character The way Angeline is treated past book one will always infuriate me. Her character had SO much potential, all wasted in the name of a Randomosity shirt.
one thing i like about my hated character Timβs backstory is so underdeveloped that I had a lot of fun trying to come up with something that would make him at least a little bit likable for future fanfics xβ) And well, Iβve grown to be fond of the sociopathic pathetic wet cat Iβve forged through headcanons, spite and willpower alone ^^"
a quote or scene that haunts me βNonβ¦ parce quβalors, je les verrais.β When Artemis, visiting Angeline in the attic for the first time in book one, offers to open the curtains after she told him about voices crawling all around her, she starts crying in pain, fear and desperation. That entire scene broke me, and this specific line stuck (sorry I didnβt feel like looking for the original English version). I guess it hit a bit too close to home somehow. But since then Angeline has been my absolute beloved, only topped by Artemis himself of course.
a death that left me indifferent Turnball Root. There were just too many things that infuriated me in TAC for me to care about his death. The love story also felt way too clichΓ© and I couldnβt manage to become invested in it.
a character i wish died but didnβt I know she died eventually, but for me Opal should have been dead and gone after book 4. She had served her purpose and I feel like bringing her back twice was too predictable, unnecessary, and turned her character into a gimmick.
my ship that never sailed For some reason I really wanted Foaly to end up with Lilli Frond for a long time ?! I figured it would be interesting for Foaly to be the one to see past Lilliβs facade and reveal more depth to her character - and that would have also made for interesting interactions with Holly ! But oh well, why develop existing characters when you can create random ones mid-series ? ):
Silly very self-indulgent Artemis Fowl x figure skating drawing π With, as @laeliana suggested, Artemis and Minerva as an ice dance couple ! (I know it makes no sense, it's alright, it's for the β¨vibesβ¨) The pose is inspired by my fellow Frenchies Evgenia Lopareva and Geoffrey Brissaud's free dance - first because, well, it slays and it's iconic, and second because I feel like it fits Artemis and Minerva's vibe pretty nicely π
The perspective and colours are SO wonky on this one, I'm a bit frustrated with Minerva because I feel like it's hard to recognise her without her signature glasses... but well, it was just something I scribbled during Europeans' Zamboni times in only a few hours, and I had a lot of fun, so I guess it's okay π
Also FUCK YES NIINA PETROKINA EUROPEAN CHAMPION LET'S GOOOOOOO ππͺπͺπ
:(((
So apparently there is going to be a musical theatre adaptation of Artemis Fowl. I love musical theatre, but honestly I just cannot see this going well.....
