Helicopters Don’t Cry

Watch that bird

Can this be considered as an intro…?

Ok, folks, I’ve made a side blog, where I’ll be posting only my arts, since I draw quite rarely and these drawings get lost among various other things. So it is not even a blog, but rather an archive, and if you want to see what sketches I was making two years ago, you’re welcome!!🛩️💕

@kelpies-archive · First, look at the sky, then in my eyes

Only for my arts

There you can find some of my previous doodles using tags from this post:

Oh this is a common scam I find at work. Any file that:

isn't jpg, jpeg, pdf, or png

Is a file extension you don't recognise (this one is a visual basic file, used for scripting, but others like exe or bat are used)

has a very low or unexpected file size (this one's is less than 1KB, or 0.001MB, a good reference should be at least 500KB)

Is likely a scam. Stay safe kids.

Yantarni, the volcano and her river/bay that flows in an abundance of colors from her minerals. This was the most spectacular and colorful place I have ever seen and hope to see again some day. The samon and other fish that come up this bay are truly massive. As are the bears that live here.

Something about seeing a place this magnificent in person has done something to my head cause I miss it so much.

ink and acrylic gouache on mineral paper. A somewhat attempt at impressionism again.

She really said happy pride 💅

Updated take on plane creature classification

Proud hunter and their satisfied mother)

Late-night experiments with scanning and postediting in GIMP😓 And I’m still not happy with the results.

The scanner makes everything grayish and phone camera makes everything seem acid-bright. The original painting has a lot of soft gradients and pastel hues(

Giving my Aeromorphs humansonas

I also really like the sketch versions on their own

Many aspects of their characters would be different given that as people they have a lot more free will than their plane counterparts. Piper is still a dissatisfied flight instructor, but she also knows she could’ve been an airline pilot under different circumstances. She blames the fact that she’s an older woman, that the aviation industry is biased against her and concludes there’s no reason to keep trying. At the same time she knows many female captains, and plenty of women of color who have succeeded despite being in a field that can be openly hostile to them at times. So this version of Piper ends up more defeatist than the cartoon version who’s just bitter and trapped.

And then when it comes to someone like Needles, she had a choice when it came to being a fighter pilot in the Air Force. So she’s actually just evil and insane and enjoys blowing stuff up without regard to human life.

Synthetic planes’ alphabet.

I was thinking about my aeromorphs once again and as a result decided, that they need their own unified language. They understand human languages (mostly English + one or more of the country, where they were born), but between each other they prefer to speak Airborne (I’m still coming up with the name), which alphabet shown above, because it is greatly simplifies communication by reducing diversity of accents (and thus - misunderstanding) from different parts of the world.

I figured it out last night, trying to make all symbols easier to write, maybe will go further in grammar and syntax
