i need to make more imperial radch art...

#their outfits would be so fun to do. and spaceships!#文字

also just a heads up that i will be changing my username soon

#goodbye wigglybunfish you served me well #文字

you're an antique rover abandoned by the galactic empire who originally deployed you to a remote moon but now a princess from an opposing polity is stranded here too so to bound you show her old cave art you discovered in the moon's lava tubes....

#come with me. on my asian sci fi agenda.#wears shirt that says 'i love austronesian and sinosphere culture'#also cave art. but who doesn't. green ochre from outer space. which makes perfect sense #basically a remix of the Chang'e myth but it's Asian Space Opera. are you picking up what i'm putting down #queerplatonic #science fiction #chinese mythology #fly my story thats been brewing since high school #id in alt #traditional art #ink #watercolor #art #my stories #my art #the danqing rover

I simply cannot believe you are putting all of this Left Hand of Darkness out here for free... I saw your comic about the color red and I thought FOR FREE??? I AM SEEING THIS FOR FREE??? Your art is incredible and under-appreciated, and I LOOOOOVE your interpretation of the look of everything- the clothing, the characters, the settings... Do you have a ko-fi or anywhere you sell prints or anything like that?? I would love to support your art somehow!!

thank you!! that's very kind :)) I don't have any sort of website at the moment, but I will be sharing some of my original stuff soon so stay tuned for those

Sound of Morocco

Gnawa music for the soul! this was the final project for my traditional music class (my beloved!!!!

done in ink and chinese painting media on paper, scanned with the campus library scanner on a windy night.

#got back into Oum recently and gosh. she's good. she's really really good. i 🫶 pop-adjacent music with traditional instruments #you are not safe form my ethnic music propaganda #srb

ink and watercolor on paper

#if you're on mobile pls click for better quality bc tumblr ate much of it. rip my scanner's work #quote 'I had forgotten there was anyone alive who did not look like estraven' ...falls backwards into a river and drifts forever. ok genly #did the inking on a cramped hotel desk in nyc lol <- weirdo who brings abroad their ink stone and inksticks and brushes and #on a different note. who else stood up and punched the air and hollered for them when they made it off the ice. i did.#i have to say it truly felt surreal to see civilization again along with them after the ice chapters. is that a light indeed #id in alt #the left hand of darkness #tlhod #ursula k le guin #therem harth rem ir estraven #genly ai #art #traditional art #ink #watercolor #comic #my comics #my art

thinking about gethen and the color red. red cement. its rufous moon. corner red dwelling. the king's red hall. the pale scarlet needles and reddish boughs of hemmen trees. estraven's blood

#gethen being a blue-white ice planet and having a red motif in their environment & culture tickles me a certain way #gethenians subconciously need something warm to look at. perchance #could also be an influence of their moon and flora #something about gethen and the red-white combo.... white planet red moon. blood on snow.#i may be reading too much into it but it makes me happy so whateverr #the left hand of darkness #tlhod #文字
