everyday i wake up and think about Rzeczpospolita Obojga Narodów, rest in peace angel (1569-1795) [*]🕊️
shout out to my grandpa for giving me asymmetrical eyes
guys i need help with choosing new glasses frames (and maybe new haircut cause the last time scissors had touched my hair was 5 months ago)
i need something to make my lethal masc face card more prominent
this is me:
this is the vibe I'm going for (would be amazing if balanced between badass and kinda angelic):
(also the guy from my pfp)
this was my last haircut (which was good but i can try something new which could potentially suit my face more)(i cant get shorter than jaw length, and my hair is really flat without styling):
for glasses i was thinking about thin rectanles/ovals maybe? i had thin frame cat eye (but they're too feminine looking, i wanna look even more androgynous/masculine) and wire rectanles from AliExpress (they were too big for my face)

Here's Blud but human forms
In my headcanon Yerem and Yeremiya were twins who died in the Forest. Than Blud found their bodies in and took their appearance. The entity, back in the days when they were allowed to leave the Forest, had enjoyed watching the strange twin since their childhood...
UA: хіх
Людські подоби Блуда
У моєму гедканоні Єрем та Єремія були двійнятами, які загинули у Лісі. Блуд знаходить їх тіла і бере їх подобу. Сутності ще за часів, коли було дозволено покидати Ліс, подобалося спостерігати за дивакуватою двійнею з їх дитинства...
ENG:
"He grabs your barely perceptible shoulders and breathes hard, looking into the face, as if he didn't expect to see you among the living.
Y: Yulian... Are you...
Vodyanyk doesn't let you finish and hugs you close. His lips cover yours and at that moment the world around dissolves..."
This fragment still makes me cry. This made me so emotional...
And the drawing took a long time (for me). If it weren't for the ref (I don't know who the author is, let me know if you know, please), everything would have gone to hell ;-;
Save me from squama!
UA:
«Він хапає за ледь відчутні плечі і важко дихає, вдивляючись в обличчя, ніби й не сподівався вже побачити серед живих.
Є: Юліане... ти...
Водяник не дає закінчити і пригортає до себе. Його губи накривають твої і цієї миті світ навколо розчиняється...»
Цей фрагмент досі змушує волати. Я буквально випала, коли це відбублося..
А малюнок — було довго (для мене). Якби не реф (не знаю, хто автор, підкажіть, якщо вам відомо, пліз), все попливло б до біса ;-;
Рятуйте від луски!

Pagan winter solstice welcome ritual (probably Balkan)
self hating slavic people are pathetic
yall are doing EXACTLY what americans want, they want you to be ashamed of your own culture because they want to deflect from their own problems, their own shady history
they won't pick you bc you're using full english sentences in your everyday speech 🙄
Haven't shown this lady warrior yet! She's dressed as a Ukrainian cossack (more of a costum-y version than a historical one). A digital sketch, mimicking old graphite on paper drawing.
Ще таку воїтельку не показувала. Скетч цифровий, але в стилі старого рисунку графітом по жовтому папері. Дуже таке люблю!
I spend a lot of time just smoking and drinking wine in this window, and It is not even mine.
There is a small private library in this apartment, with many books printed at the begining of the 20th century
Mara is a powerful Slavic goddess who personifies winter, cycles of life and death. She is also considered the patroness of witchcraft and symbolizes justice.
Mavka is a character in South Slavic demonology, an evil spirit, a mermaid. According to a number of signs, it is close to a mermaid, a Carpathian “forest lady” or a mountain female spirit. It was believed that young girls or young children who died on Trinity Week because of unhappy love or whose parents were killed this week became Mavkas.

Since Inscryption seems to have a large Slavic fanbase, I've been curious...
Also, add in the tags/comments where you're from and what about Inscryption appealed to you!

warnings: i’m not idealizing any eating problems, drugs, or any of those things that models used to do. be healthy !!
✧₊⁺. girl was MESMERIZED when you walked in front of her
✧₊⁺. you actually meet in uconn because you decided to study there
✧₊⁺. she grow fame in college basketball, you were in many vogue covers
✧₊⁺. watched all your runways and photo shoots
✧₊⁺. she lovessss to show you off
✧₊⁺. usually models are 5’8 or higher
✧₊⁺. soooo i think you are still a little bit smaller than her
✧₊⁺. but if you use heels, like high ones
✧₊⁺. you can actually reach her
designer’s usually put you on heels that are almost impossible to walk in
that’s why your feet hurt maybe because they’re too tight or too tall
but she will massage your feet after a long day
has a hard time getting you now clothes because it’s so difficult to find your exact size
lovessssss your walk!
it’s somehow aggressive but fancy
tries to mock your walk and face
obviously fails
goes to any fashion week you go
also buys the vogue’s magazine you appear in
also loves the outfits you use
“oh my god!” paige suddenly let out a high scream grabbing quickly a vogue magazine, you in the cover of it “girl boo, what’s all the commotion about?” kk appeared out from a cover. they were in Walmart, restocking the things that they were low in.
kk approached the blue eye girl, both hands occupied with bags full of tru fru looking down on what paige had in her hands.
“i’m going to buy it”
“you are already have thousands of them!”
her fans LOVEEEE YOUUUU

The Witches Oven
My slavic thaumaturge characters very important oven!
I think my favourite thing about drawing stuff I'm unfamiliar with is the rabbit hole you can fall down of learning, both in how to draw the stuff and its history and background. I now know considerably more about eastern european rural home design than I did before!
I haven't thought of a name for the character yet, but I know her Domovoy (house-spirit that lives in the oven) is called Uncle Ugol. You can see him peering out of the stove.
By Mother, By Father, By Grandfather
The axe, candle and pelt-cloak of my recent slavic witch character! The thaumaturgical impliments she uses to rid the world of evil, be it magical or mundane.
Her mothers axe, a lumberjack with a love of the forest. Made of humble oak and iron, turned to a fearsome weapon in the right hands.
Her fathers candle, a scribe who had a knack for uncovering truth. Now burning as long as the one who holds it.
Her grandfather's pelt, a man first cursed and then blessed by a ursine transformation. Heavy when comforting, light when worn.
By Axe, Candle or Skin
Another D&D Character! A slavic Witch inspired by the likes of the Discworld Witches; sometimes local and sometimes nomadic problem solvers. Her class is Thaumaturge with her special impliments being her mothers axe, her fathers candle and her grandfathers skin. (He was a bear, long story)
Art-wise this is about the most effort I’ve put into a digital piece thus far using a drawing screen. I’m happy with everything but the boots and candle-arm. I couldn’t get the angle and placement exactly right, and I figured the piece was better done than held off on. I would have also preferred to give her a more muscular and wide shouldered build, but overall I’m very happy with it!
