Final Reunions - And Final Partings.

run red river run home and back again

ever since i made this post, i kinda knew i could have done better. finally got around to it :] vallerina continues to be absolutely heartbreaking but we move [eyes red + covered in blood]

closeups, ref, and speedpaint below :p!!!

shoutout to james for the idea of the corpseish hands!!! i love them so much, finally puts my raynaud's syndrome to use :3

the dancer in the reference is Alina Somova i believe !!

some gouache sketches inspired by the magnus archives

I think it's so funny that Carpenter actually hates all the religious parts of her religion she really only likes the part where she looks at water and broods. everytime Faulkner actually practices their religion in front of her she wants to throttle him it's hysterical

oh to live in a world where the worst thing that ever happened to carpenter was a scraped knee :( notes and closeups below the cut!!!

part of the concept of this painting was that it's one of carpenter's memories, so em is painted with warmer tones in his hair and she is painted with cooler tones, because she remembers him as a comfort. he also looks much older than he would have been at the time of the memory, again because of the warping of memory

thanks to @spectralanomally for advising on the wound!! my fav doctor fr fr

of the 3 paintovers ive done so far, this is the one ive changed the most. patch notes include: mallory's face has been completely rejigged, the angle of her foot has been changed, the angle of em's wrist has been fixed, and both of them have had their proportions shifted to look younger

i was super proud of the rendering on the stones :] that's it

pov your friend just got ritual sacrificed and you're trying to have a moment but your inner monologue gets interrutped by an unhinged twink trying to add grand theft auto to his list of crimes

saddest girl to ever wear a hazmat suit

I tried drawing Paige with straight hair in some of my past drawings but I just can’t do it. she’s gotta have curly hair

Quick inktober practice with best unhinged woman Carpenter from The Silt Verses

Carson: Are you sure, though, Shrue? I mean, how can you be certain that you had a family before last week, when Val invented them for you?

And in the end, it is a matter of the length of the narrative.

Actually, I find Tolkien's treatment of Aredhel a bit annoying. It makes no sense for Aredhel to follow Turgon to Gondolin. Turgon's building of Gondolin and hiding there was perfectly reasonable for Turgon. The only thing he did that didn't make sense was taking Aredhel with him. Aredhel and Gondolin? I don't understand anything. Turgon is not her father, the king she must obey, nor is he the most agreeable of her siblings. And the Gondolin-like approach is completely incompatible with Aredhel's character as described throughout the book - a hunter, a lover of travel, and a temper that can be inferred from her friendship with the sons of Fëanor. Tolkien has her join Gondolin without any reason. Aredhel follows Turgon to Gondolin because Tolkien needs her to give birth to Maeglin, which will bring about the downfall of Gondolin. She was captured by an evil husband because she had to give birth to an evil son (and if you don't think race determines personality, this is all annoying.). Unlike the sons of Feanor, who brought about tragedy because of their own contradictions in personality, she had contradictions because she had to be the tool of tragedy. It's annoying to see a character who could have been really interesting get treated like this…. Like many women in real life, who had potential but were ignored and used only as a tool.
