With determination in his eyes, the old badger descended into the valley. The landscape was barren and wasted. The trees sorry and withered. As he neared the forest on the valley floor, the chaos and darkness became palpable. Wild woods are not friendly to strangers. But they would come to know the old badger. Finally, late in the day when the light was dim, he came to a trickling stream. On the other side was the forest’s edge. An old bridge lay mangled across the water. Cautiously, the badger crossed. . . . . . #art #artsy #artist #instaart #instaartist #artofinstagram #badger #journeyjune19 #jjoldbadger #drawing #draw https://www.instagram.com/p/ByWkAnLAIJo/?igshid=1ceuuoyje8xzg

Picking a seed from one of the many pockets on his cloak, the badger carefully planted it. Set before him was a hard journey. It would take all his strength to see it through. The flower that would grow from the seed would be a sign, the tiny growth would be a source of hope. The work was begun, all he had left to do was finish it. . . . . . #art #artsy #artist #instaart #instaartist #artofinstagram #badger #journeyjune19 #jjoldbadger #drawing #draw https://www.instagram.com/p/ByWhiOXgTQl/?igshid=15x31yutu6kkz

Finding a suitable rock, he sat. He listened to the creak of old woods, sighing in an odd and sad symphony, to the gurgling of some distant stream, finding its way through the dark and twisted forest. He smelled the chilling air, the hints of dried up flowers and musty moss. He looked upon the ancient, wearied branches of the trees, like stooped old men longing for freedom. He smiled. This was the place. https://www.instagram.com/p/ByRJKs0g4EM/?igshid=1vonbf0bs8vz7

It was late winter when the old badger arrived. The gray clouds sagged like dampened sheets hung out to dry. Snow threatened. The valley before him was bleak and chaotic. As he cast his gaze upon the place, a single beam of light broke through the murky sky and fell upon the dreary wood. A sign. . . . . . #art #artsy #artist #instaart #instaartist #artofinstagram #badger #journeyjune19 #jjoldbadger #drawing #draw https://www.instagram.com/p/ByOX6q_gn1x/?igshid=1lez1zbmzur6w

As the warm sun rose from its slumber beneath the cool winter earth, the old badger gave a sigh. Gently and tenderly, he pulled the heart-flower from the earth. Laying it tenderly in a jar, he too rose. He smiled. Stooping briefly, he grasped his walking staff. His work was behind him; the road was ahead. And then, he took a step. . . . . . #art #artsy #artist #instaart #instaartist #artofinstagram #badger #journeyjune19 #jjoldbadger https://www.instagram.com/p/ByMBNblgG-Z/?igshid=1arsyo7qqkyly

It has been soooo long since I posted here last. For those of you who weren’t aware, I was super busy with a seasonal job over Christmas time and didn’t end up having much time for art or streams. But now it’s over! So I’m trying to get back into to follow of things. Did some ink landscapes on stream today. I’m back to a regular schedule now, which I’ll put in my bio. Here’s to a great year of art! . . . . . #art #artsy #artist #instaart #instaartist #artofinstagram #paint #painting #painter #twitch #twitchcreative #twitchaffiliate #ink #inking #mountain #mountains #tree #trees #fog #twitchartist #foggy #landscape #landscapepainting https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs6pN9hB50F/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=3u0yhb6nwg8z

Wubbles’ Inktober 2018 introduction (Part 2): . After countless years, some of them began to take notice of the humans around them. When at first they ventured to communicate with mankind, they were met with terror. The very sight of one of their faces would send any man fleeing or cowering in fright. Therefore it took years to convince them that they meant no harm. After many more years, humankind came to know the gods, though at the time they were not so named. Indeed, men referred to them not as gods, but as spirits — though they were truly as fleshly and physical as a man. As they came to know the ‘spirits,’ they found out what each one loved the most, and named them as such. One would become the spirit of the beasts of the wild, which was as much as to say that she loved most the wild animals and would protect them and care for them. Another would be the spirit of wisdom, which meant that he sook the truth and judged things rightly and gave insightful answers to questions that the humans could not answer. Many ‘spirits’ there were, and most of them were kindly and friendly. Some ignored the humans, and a very few despised them and saw them as an infestation. But most of them were good, and they would wander around the land, some stoping in villages and town, and some even being loved so much as to have houses — or temples — erected for them when they came. . Each day of Inktober, I will be attempting to translate the prompt for that day from the official prompt list into one of these spirits. At some point I may turn this into a story, but for now, I plan to just have fun and see what comes out! . . . . . #art #artsy #artist #instaart #artofinstagram #instaartist #ink #inktober #inktober2018 #inking #blackandwhite #story #gods #mysterious #mythology #fantasy #twitch #twitchcreative #twitchart #twitchartist https://www.instagram.com/p/Bofm7kKh_W7/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=17vnhp1uhaqq0

Wubbles’ Inktober 2018 introduction (Part 1): . “Long ago in the ancient days, when the earth was untamed and wild, the gods had not yet come to know themselves. They wandered the lands, tending to it and learning from it. For many an age, they traveled to and fro, some coming to love the forests, some the oceans; some of them took to peace, and others war. Each of them became unique and separate from the others in personality, traits, and domain. One would chose to care for and protect the beasts and wild things, while another would find delight in the light of the moon.

Inktober Day 1: Poisonous . Gwendyl, the spirit of death, disease, illness, and decay. Legends tell of a faceless skeleton beneath his hood and mask, though none ever saw his true form aside from his robes. It is fabled that he could take whatever form he wished, entering villages and cities as a merchant or traveler; like a veiled plague, wiping out much of the population. His name, when spoken, brings fear and mistrust into the hearts of even the closest of friends, driving them apart and afflicting every tribe like a deadly poison. . I apologize for this dark start to Inktober, and I promise that most of the days won’t be like this, but I felt like this character fit the poisonous prompt, so I ran with it. I also apologize for not explaining the context of this, but hopefully by Wednesday I’ll have the illustrations done that I had planned to post before Inktober started - they’ll explain it . . . . . #art #artist #artsy #instaart #instaartist #artofinstagram #ink #inking #inktober #inktober2018 #twitch #twitchcreative #twitchaffiliate #mythology #gods #micron #poison #mysterious https://www.instagram.com/p/BoacpGIB7cZ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=taldqmvs5rnz

iPad stopped connecting with my computer, so I had to switch to something different on the stream today. So I sketched this nature-guardian type thing. Didn’t really have a goal in mind, just a vague idea and I really like how it came out! . . . . . #art #artsy #artist #graphite #drawing #sketch #owl #instaart #instaartist #artofinstagram #doodle #sketchbook #linedrawing #shading
