here is a recap of all the drawings I have made so far of him (and let me tell you this, it’s NOT enough)
This here was my first one- it looked wonky, but I loved it nonetheless
Then we got this legendary one. Actually my favourite of them all, because it captures the feelings I wanted the drawing to have
I know- dramatic. Took me too long to finish this due to art block but I’m happy with the outcome! :)
Then we got this absolute- yeah.. it’s cute! Wanted to make the dangling character trend. Never really worked out the way I wanted it to do, BUT that’s alright! Perhaps it can be turned into merch
Now we have the cowboy. The Lysatra boy. You yeet your last haw guy. ABSOLUTELY love a cowboy version of Eli
The newest addition. One of my favourite scenes from the book (fun fact, the book also has its birthday today :) very peak)
Lastly we got some studies of his very beautiful yet complex face.
That’s it ! There will be more drawings to come this year
Yes I'm alive everyone! I had picked up an old drawing from a year ago and finished it today. I needed to overwork certain areas to adapt to my recent style, but overall it turned out the way I wanted it to be. Hope you like it! -Mr.Thrawn🫐
why does modern star wars always go for a scifi pop dubstep sound for their club music and not the absolutely unbeatable pipe organ jazz thing they had going on in the original tatooine cantina
Keeper: Do you collect/own anything lighthouse related, if so, what is it? If not, what would you like to get?
Fresnel: What is your favorite lighthouse related media? (Movie, book, TV show, song, etc)
Seagull: Do you prefer things that have "generic" lighthouses on them or things that have a specific, real lighthouse on them (like shirts, decor, etc)?
Lightship: Have you visited any lighthouse/maritime museums?
Shoal: Have you planned any trips specifically to see a lighthouse? Would you?

INT. ROOM — EVENING.
[Somewhere in town, a radio switches on. We catch a bit of the music playing before the channel switches, and instead we hear— ]
NICK: Good evening, Kullerluk! You’re listening to the Radio of Kullerluk City, informally but more truthfully known as the ROKC. We’re your hosts Nick Denikin-
MALLORY: –and Mallory Wilson. On today’s bulletin, you can expect a cookout at the local fire department this evening, as long as the likely scattered showers forecasted for this afternoon don’t stick around too long.
NICK: But expect more news on that during today’s disaster report. Kullerluk City Library’s weekly storybook read-along has been postponed to the weekend due to forecasted inclement weather. More information to come.
MALLORY: And finally, citizens are reminded to secure loose belongings stored outside. High winds are prone to scattering around anything that is light enough to be blown away. And now, here’s Nick with his… (with disgust) horoscope reading.
NICK: (mock indignation) Are you hearing this, listeners? The disrespect I’m experiencing? Anyway:
Aries: You have more value to others than how you can be of use to them, make sure you don’t overcommit your time or your emotions, because there will be an opportunity to do so.
Taurus: Is there something that isn’t working in your day to day life? A less-than-ideal pattern? Take some time, see if you can find a way to make your plans fit together better.
Gemini: What do you want from life? Do you fear death? Do you crave meaning? Toss all that out the window! Live fast! Die young!
Cancer: You may have some fights or arguments with your cohabitants this week, there’s no shame in avoiding people for a bit if you need a break.
Leo: You. Yes, you. I cannot stress enough that the only way for people to know what you need or want from them is to talk to them, thank you.
Virgo: You might see a financial windfall this week! Congratulations! Try to be sure you use it where you need it most.
Libra: Ok, take a deep breath. What I need you to keep in mind this week is that not everyone is going to get along with everyone, and that’s okay.
Scorpio: Self isolation is not the way to go, don’t confuse healthy boundaries, inner reflection, and causing yourself suffering. People care about you.
Sagittarius: Your friends will be important to you, keep an eye on their needs in your relationship, they matter too. Also, in three…two…one…duck.
Capricorn: Yes, I know money is important. Yes, I know you don’t want to starve. However, how happy is your job really making you? Can you improve that? Do try.
Aquarius: Honestly? You’re going to be vibing this week. I don't know what else to tell you.
Pisces: Everything takes work and constant effort. I know it feels like a lot of pressure, but I promise, soon you’ll be able to let it go.
[Static, music, the channel switches, or distorts as time passes.]
NICK: Today’s disaster report is brought to you by my roommate Colin calling during the break to tell me that our ceiling has developed a leak. Over to you Mallory, to explain the reason for my suffering.
MALLORY: (clinical, getting straight to the point) There is a storm approaching, listeners. It approaches from the west, tall cumulonimbus clouds that level out as they reach the top of the troposphere. This is – of course – one of the easiest ways to predict rain: watch the sky for dark, anvil shaped clouds and the sight of distant rain. Watch for the flashes of lightning within the approaching clouds and count down the seconds until the accompanying roll of thunder reaches you.
When the storm hits, and undoubtedly it will hit hard, it is best not to venture outside. After all, to a certain extent the weather is unpredictable, and the winds could shift at any moment. Lightning is even more unpredictable, and, for that matter, more dangerous. Perhaps it is best to set curiosity aside in the face of a storm such as this, lest the wind and rain prove strong enough to tear you apart, limb from limb.
(a slight pause. redirecting her train of thought) But do not worry, as this is nothing we haven’t experienced before. Like everything, the storm will eventually pass.
[Static, music.]
MALLORY: (really joyful about a very innocuous thing) This week, I’m here to talk to you about methane clathrates!
NICK: (scripted tone, to prompt elaboration) And what are those, Mallory?
MALLORY: Clathrates are essentially ice sculptures capable of holding onto gasses for a very long time, particularly methane. During the late Triassic, when Pangaea started to break apart, a lot of magma was released to the surface, and with it came a lot of carbon dioxide. As carbon dioxide is prone to do, it trapped heat on the planet and melted the clathrates, releasing even more greenhouse gasses into the air and raising global temperatures about 3-4 degrees Celsius. Megamonsoons, even larger than what we experience today to begin with, grew much more intense, and the oceans grew much more acidic. Food chains collapsed, and by the beginning of the Jurassic, only about 24% of all life was still alive. Interestingly enough, this extinction is what allowed dinosaurs, who many of us know and love, to really take over. Prior to the end-Triassic Extinction, they had been sharing the stage with pseudosuchians – or very early crocodiles – and were hardly distinguishable from them. By seemingly pure luck, early dinosaurs made it through much better than early crocodiles did, and that’s how they came to be the dinosaurs that we recognize today.
NICK: (It is fun but it’s still an extinction) That's. Fun. Really fun. Is it going to happen…again?
MALLORY: I mean, undoubtedly there is going to be another mass extinction at some point in the future, but something exactly like that one? I doubt we’d see it.
NICK: (idle curiosity) Would we know? If it was happening?
MALLORY: (shrugging) For all we know, we might be in one now.
NICK: Well that’s not worrying. Not that it matters much, I guess.
MALLORY: (light ribbing) Oh, you’ll be fine! You’ve survived every disaster you’ve been in so far, an extinction isn’t that much different.
NICK: Then what does make it different? I assume it’s not an extinction every day of the week.
MALLORY: Extinctions are global, I suppose? And more long term. (going off on a disaster studies tangent) Plus, disasters are typically localized events, and really only count as a disaster if there’s been a certain threshold of loss of life or property damage crossed, and–
NICK: Ooookay, thank you Mallory, we Do have a show to end!
MALLORY: Right, right, my apologies. (switching tone) Thank you for joining us this evening on the ROKC!
NICK: We’ll talk to you all again next week, and remember: there is a storm approaching, listeners.
[The channels switch again, and we catch the last of a song as it fades into nothing.]

You have reached The Radio of Kullerluk City (informally, but more truthfully, known as the ROKC), a fiction podcast that follows your hosts, Nick Denikin and Mallory Wilson, as they begin to learn that the natural disasters affecting their world are perhaps not as purely natural as one would expect. And neither, it seems, is their radio show.
As such, please take note that this podcast deals heavily with both natural disasters and climate change, and this blog will as well. We aim to be as educational as possible amidst the more supernatural horrors, since education is one of the best ways to mitigate the affects of natural hazards.
Currently: Off air
Organization:
#aid - fundraisers, focused on disaster relief and related causes
#alert - information about real life events
#automation - queue
#broadcast - episode announcements
#bulletin - general announcements about the show
#call ins - answers to asks
#info - general educational posts related to the show
#inspo - catch-all tag for vibes
#playlist - music
#promo - promotion for other people's projects
#psa - information on natural hazards and disasters, including survival guides, mitigation, prevention, etc
#relay - reblogs
Various disasters are also tagged (e.g., tsunami, drought, hurricane, etc), should be self-explanatory.
Finally, I (blog-runner and 1/2 the creative team) get the majority of my natural hazard information from Natural Hazards and Disasters (fifth edition) by Donald and David Hyndman, plus sites like NOAA, NASA, and FEMA when applicable. My major is in geology so I'm more knowledgeable on tectonics and landslides and the like rather than weather, but I still try to make sure my information on that is as accurate as possible. Though science is, of course, constantly evolving, so if I make any errors please do let me know (cite your sources if you do is my main request)!
