baby iskierka for @tane-p! i’ve been having a hard time drawing dragons despite being very motivated for it ever since i started listening to the temeraire audiobooks, so this was a lil exercise to loosen up. i started with loose, spiralling scribbles and used them as base for the poses, ignoring anatomy completely, which is great and very relaxing
sometimes in an effort to save on paper you end up drawing your bae @spiderje stepping on his own crotch and thats just how it is on this binch of an earth

Sketch for a hypothetical sculpture. A mashup between Degas’ “Little Dancer Aged Fourteen” and Danziger’s “Nimrod”.
Degas was known misogynist, who was quoted comparing the ballet dancers he made a career out of drawing, to work horses and rats. His Little Dancer used to be one of my favorite sculptures, until I saw it last year in DC and read up about it and him, and what I learned saddened me deeply.
I carried that sadness around for a while. Yesterday I went to the Israel Museum and saw another one of my all time favorite sculptures, Nimrod. The biblical character Nimrod is described as “a mighty hunter before the Lord.” But the root from which his name comes means “to rebel,” and in Talmudic literature, he is the despised idolater who erected the Tower of Babel in order to overthrow God. Danziger took the hawk on Nimrod’s shoulder from Egyptian art, underscoring the link between his sculpture and the ancient pagan world. The absence of legs likens the figure to an archaeological find, as does the reddish sandstone from Petra.
I suddenly realized how similar they look- same arm pose, same defiant, chin-up manner.
So I gave the little dancer a hawk, and cut off her “work horse” legs, and finally her defying stance is complete. She can finally rebel against her oppressors, armed with Nimrod’s mythical hunting abilities and his intent to overthrow the powers who would dominate him. Time’s up.
Some of you who follow my bouts of inactivity more closely may remember that I worked on art and costumes for a theater production a few months back- a stage adaptation of @tkingfisher‘s novella “Nine Goblins”, Performed by the Morpheus Productions ensemble at the Olamot Convention in Tel-Aviv on April 2018.
The production was in Hebrew of course, but getting the author’s enthusiastic blessing made us wanna translate and subtitle the video we have of it. And then we made a website for it. So without further ado i present to you the
On it you can find a gallery of photos from the shows and behind the scenes, an embarrassing teaser video, the subtitled show video itself and much more info about the amazing people involved.
This production meant a lot to me because it’s the last one I’m gonna be able to take part in before going to university. The crew was amazing and the shows were a success! But more importantly we had a lot of fun, even during the more stressful times. We even had a functioning portal ON STAGE!! How cool is that!!!
Annecy short is over, time to prepare Japan Expo ! We’re doing a greek mythology serie with the girls, as stickers and badges: Dyonisus, Aphrodite, Athena & Ares Jeanne –> Apollo, Artemis, Hera & Hestia Manon –> Hermes & Persephone Edit: added Dyonisos and Aphrodite !
i hosted an art sale in my living room last week. it was an anxiety inducing & emotionally exhausting event, but I’m so glad i did it. its such a motivation to see that people like my art enough to buy it, and are happy to support me while i continue to make it. and also, people came and had fun, regardless of if they ended up purchasing anything! so all in all a good experience, I’ll probably do it again sometime 🌹 gwen helped a lot!
i do still have a lot of originals! send me a message if you’re interested in something

במקביל לצבא עבדתי בחנות חיות שנקראת “פנדה” ובואו נגיד שאם יש כמה רבש”צים ברמת הגולן שטוענים שהחמ”ל ענה להם ב”פנדה שלום” כשהם התקשרו ב3 בבוקר אני לא אכחיש
