Notice anything different out the front of Bruhaha? Our new planter (with beer shelf) is now complete with many thanks to Eric Dougall and the good folks at #blaise_plants. Together with the table flowers supplied by neighbours #Floriography, it definitely helps bring a little happiness to the front of the brewpub.

Some time ago, I got interested in #floriography, the system of communicating with bouquets of flowers. I thought it would be fun to draw a few #PixelArt flowers (now in #Pico8 colors) for their meaning and visual aesthetic value.
This particular #MastoArt is lily of the valley, which according to Language of Flowers (which you can read in this #ProjectGutenberg ebook: gutenberg.org/cache/epub/31591) means "Return of happiness."

From earlier this year! I streamed for 6 hours doing just this one lol. Hoping to put up the edited timelapse eventually later on my Youtube but in the meantime--

Characters are my Lady Rosalyn and Lady Lillian from a story of mine. The one on the right is me trying to adjust the colors and liking the accidental pixel game "aesthetic."

Color illustration of two women dressed in garbs similar to knightly orders. The woman on the left wears underneath it a red and yellow tunic, while the one on the right wears a blue and yellow tunic. Both of their hats are different, with the left wearing a white feather and yellow hat and the right wearing a brown leather hat with a red ornament.

The woman on the left looks to be attentive to something off-screen while the one on the right appears to be enjoying whatever's going on off-screen.Color illustration of two women dressed in garbs similar to knightly orders.

This is a different version, with colors reminiscent of old pixel games.

And then today's actual entry, which is from a story in...well, it's sorta in the air at what stage it is in lol, maybe pre-planning since I'm thinking of readjusting it to be a visual novel instead. We'll see!

All of the captions for these posts will be copy/pasted from my tumblr: jadinerhine.tumblr.com/post/13 Of course, you can take a look on there ahead of time. MIND THE 7 YR OLD CRINGE.

:ai_wave: Lady Orkidya and Lady Clavelle :ai_wave:

Knights of the Orchid and Carnations respectively, these two sometimes get along pretty well but usually aren’t a normal Pair of Friends[TM]. Orkidya is much more active than Clavelle for one, and prefers more typical ‘masculine’ activities; she’s in charge of the horse stables just to note one of her duties. Clavelle on the other hand likes tranquility – tea hobbies, taking care of gardens, walking, etc. Each one has their preferred person to share these things with, and each one is not the other’s first choice XD

But Clavelle tries her best to come out of her shell and this is one of those times! Orkidya ain’t havin’ it, though.

Up above you’ll see Clavelle’s hair is blonde-ish; she’s actually albino, and that’s one of my old studies to see how coloring her “pre-Knighthood” works. I disagree with the coloring style used for albino characters’ skin because they look dead. (Grey shading, eww.) I figured out how to draw extremely pale skin recently however, so I’ll be using that as a basis next time I do another study. Her real ethnicity is a secret until comictime c: Orkidya’s name suggests hers, however.

Black and white inked chibi figures. There are two people here, both dressed similarly in variants of a tunic with flowers on the chest. The one on the left is holding a horse's leash, dressed in black pants as well. She's a little annoyed at the other woman and is telling her not to ride a horse in pictorial form. The other woman, holding an umbrella to protect her from the sun, is wearing a long dress. She seems a little sad and is wanting to ride a horse and telling her in the same pictorial form.

Yeah, the speech bubble from the woman in the dress goes first but that's the way alt text goes, I suppose.

According to legend, knights in the Middle Ages would wear two daisies to show he was the favourite of the ladies.

Dreaming of daises in the spring or summer means good luck is coming, but dream of them in autumn or winter and bad luck is coming.

In the Victorian language of flowers, the daisy meant "innocence" and "I share your sentiments".

Clematis is also known as Leather Flower, Old Man's Beard, Pepper Vine, Traveller's Joy, and Virgin's Bower.

The ancient Greeks used 'clematis' to refer to a whole range of climbing plants.

It can symbolise artifice, ingenuity, love, and want.

According to Mrs Burke's 1856 Illustrated Language of Flowers, it means 'mental beauty'.

The forget-me-not was once called scorpion grass because the flower heads curl over and people thought they looked like scorpion tails.

In the mid-1850s, there was a trend in Germany for planting forget-me-nots on graves.

In the Victorian language of flowers, the forget-me-not meant 'remembrance'.

Jessica Roux, whose book An Illustrated Guide to the #Victorian Language of #Flowers was published a few years ago, says #floriography bloomed in the Victorian era as a secret tongue. Unable to say and do what she wanted, when she wanted, the Victorian #woman used flowers to communicate instead. Ms Roux says, “The Victorian language of flowers — also called floriography — emerged as a clandestine method of communication at a time when etiquette discouraged open and flagrant displays of emotion”. tremr.com/rashmeerl/flowers-sp
