Finally finished 😭 Timelapse at the bottom! I had an idea for my Wings of Pages series, where instead of text, it's a book full of botanical illustrations. The majority of the time was spent on the individual flowers for each feather/page of the wings. I really love the look of old botanical books with the water color paintings and the scientific names written in cursive. So I spent way too many hours painting out 20 of these flower pages, and even then, it wasn't enough for the wings so I did have to duplicate some.

Here are the 20 flowers! The HD image of Atlas Botanicus, and all 20 HD flower studies without watermark will be DMed on Patreon.com/Yuumei on May 5th, along with the hours long video recording of how I painted everything.

Health PSA for fellow stimboard creators!!! Please NEVER tag flashing content with the photosensitive epilepsy tag, epilepsy, photosensitive, or anything related. You should tag it instead with: flash warning, flashing, cw flashing, tw flashing, flashing gif, flashing gifs etc.

Flash warning is the best tag to use in my opinion.

If you use the photosensitive epilepsy tag you are instead broadcasting your stimboards to people with photosensitive epilepsy. The very people you're trying to warn! This is extremely dangerous. Seizures can cause brain damage and death, and should be taken seriously.

I see too many flashing gifs in the photosensitive epilepsy tag and it's honestly terrible to see.

“Be curious about what you’re writing about” is not stock Common Writing Advice but it really, really should be. There are a lot of written works that fail due to the authors just being obviously incurious about what they are writing about.

i had a class last semester about How To Do History. first year of a history degree. ofc, one of the lectures went into what the requirements of a research question are. of course the regular things were said, open question, clearly delineated, but also. You should be interested in it.

whatever your question, you, personally, should want to know the answer

he also said, by the time you get to your thesis, you should have a problem. not a personal problem like a caffeine habit or relationship troubles, there should be something in history that bothers you. something you feel doesn't quite make sense or something. and that's what your thesis should be about ideally

i know this post was probably about fiction writing but it's at least as true, if not more, about non fiction writing

You know, that’s a really good point. I’m currently writing a dissertation about archaeology, and it’s a similar thing. How did these communities organize, and why?

I’ve often joked “to get a PhD you have to love your topic more than you love yourself” and it’s not wholly wrong, lol. You have to be interested and it has to be an interest, a curiosity, that can carry you even when you’re completely sick of the whole thing.
