in a swirl of blue butterflies

                             Hello all!
My name is Adele Lorienne. I'm an artist with a passion for fantasy and nature, and I love to combine the two in my artwork!  :) My personal website is Meadowhaven.net.
 
You might also know me as Saimain from DeviantART, or recognize my Doctor Who fanart from Tumblr. 

Why Patreon?
Ever since I was a wee sprout I've nurtured the dream of bringing my stories and characters to life. When I wasn't climbing trees, I doodled on everything within reach (particularly cardboard boxes that I'd turn into epic ships to voyage to other worlds) and wrote endless stories in my notebooks and journals.  These days I'm too often forced to stifle that dream and lock it away in favor of keeping bills paid.

This is where I hope Patreon might be able to make a difference.  Your sponsorship would mean less outside work and stress for me, and more time to devote to creating and sharing more artwork with you! 

What exactly is Patreon and how does it work?
Patreon is an affordable way to sponser artists and content that you love, and a way for artists to personally connect with and give back to you in return for that support!  You can set your own pledge amount--starting as low as $1 a month--and enjoy exclusive rewards and tier benefits!  Patrons can access content via the Creations/Activities tab above, and any future updates will be automatically sent to your e-mail so you won't miss a thing!  

What will I get for supporting you?
You will have exclusive access to WIPS I never share anywhere else (you can offer feedback and suggestions), and also get to see new finished pieces days before anyone else!  The $5 tier and above also has access to never-before-posted step-progressions of some of my older traditional artwork, monthly and bi-monthly raffles for custom art commissions, free hand-signed art prints, discounts in my Meadowhaven Store, special gift bundles + more! 

All $5+ pledges can also request larger (un-watermarked) files of my linearts to color for fun or practice!  Some examples: (all previews available in my Creations tab)
   

What are these art/story projects you refer to?
Mainly my two original fantasy storylines: " The Wars of Avenan" and "Not All Kings Wear Gold." Nearly all the characters you see in my artwork come from these storylines.  For character information, world details and history behind the artwork please visit my website Meadowhaven.net. It's divided into three main sections so you can easily find all the artwork and info pertaining to any particular theme:
    
Your sponsorship will help greatly to restore my sanity and breathe new life into my neglected characters! I'll be able to bring you more artwork and glimpses into the world and storylines, and maybe even put together a new series of story-themed artbooks centering on the lives of individual characters, with writing to accompany the illustrations.

I also occasionally draw fanart from BBC's wonderfully vast sci-fi series "Doctor Who!" You can see my fanart  HERE and on my Website/Tumblr galleries.  I promise a few Doctor Who and other fandom sketches will pop up in here from time to time.  :)  As a patron you can even make fanart requests for stuff you'd like to see from me!
