the way ivan aivazovsky looks at the sea…i think…i think that’s what love looks like.

[soracities]

love is surrounding yourself with people who see you this clearly

[ataehone]

Still the freakiest fact about him is that despite being as tall as a person or more, he banged out these beauties in a day or two at most (and smaller ones ina matter of hours). The longest he spent on a painting, at age 81, to make his largest ever painting, was TEN DAYS:

It is 2.9×4.3 meters large. That’s 9'4"×14'1" for people in other measurement systems. It’s HUGE. There are artists out there that spend years on paintings much smaller than this. He was not one of them.

He also didn’t only paint the sea, but he MOSTLY painted the sea. Very few people could draw light filtering through waves the way this guy did and apparently it was tied into his layering technique that allowed him to paint so goddamn fast.

He is obviously my most favorite painter ever.

“Still the freakiest fact about him is that despite being as tall as a person or more,”

Initially I didn’t realise this referred to the size of the paintings and briefly thought Ivan Aivazovsky was “as tall as a person or more” and imagined a freakishly tall Slavic artist lovingly painting the enchanting play of light and colour on the sea

That is horrifying that close and I love it

[disgruntled-foreign-patriarch]

wait they usually don't go up, right?

[novas-grimoire]

Ok, even with the modern knowledge I have of how tornadoes actually form,

Seeing shit like this, I can completely understand how ancient peoples would have thought that was a god.

[cheshireinthemiddle]

Tornadoes kind of...meet in the middle. Like a large swirly from the sky and a small swirly from the bottom lock lips and and become a tornado.

Youre welcome.

tumblr is alive, grunge is back, the earth is healing

thought this was neat

[becomedog]

if on something like giving the option of a gift of food you are like “but what if i AM crossing a boundary/being rude” i’ll share an exchange between my therapist and myself i often think of:

me: “i just want to respect their boundaries”

therapist: “you can’t respect boundaries when they haven’t expressed them. those aren’t their boundaries, those are your assumptions.”

Couple of things I had been working on months ago that will never be finished

The Knight and the Mage

Young Medi

A quick sketch of Bee, my fairy Wild Magic barbarian for Curse of Strahd

I know the placement of her maul does not really work with her wings but tbh I was too lazy to change the pose after I already drew the lineart

[hypnokiddo]

Yrse, she is a Rune Knight dwarf I play in a D&D campaign which is sadly on hold right now

[hypnokiddo]

Old but gold and very unfinished, Captains Roan Reed and Tiberius Stinch. NPCs in my D&D campaign and old friends of one of the PCs

[hypnokiddo]

Cue D&D questgiver theme

The first, Philomena Amryssian, Chancellor of the Free City of Oswynd in the campaign I’m running.

The second, Nour Valerus, right hand of Chancellor Amryssian and High Excursor of the Argent Excursium, an Oswyndian organisation known for espionage and research, both into the magical and the profane.

The third, Robin, the underaged and slightly inexperienced shopkeeper of the Sorcerous Salesman. Her shops pops up anywhere, everywhere.

[hypnokiddo]

My new Warlock Marlowe. Her husband was murdered and she wants revenge. Too bad some drow enslaved her before she got the chance.

Gotta say, I love playing questionable characters

[hypnokiddo]
