I hope every writer who sees this writes LOADS the next few months. Like freetime opens up, no writers block, the ability to focus, etc etc you're able to write loads & make lots of progress <3

Passing along for all the writers out there!

I finally drew the scene with jfj among the pack and now I proud to show it here.

And ofc I framed it and put on the wall 🩵

[joestarwalker]

Silna, my beloved

I absolutely could not avoid drawing her 🩵

[joestarwalker]

For prompt 5 (deer) I have Silna as a hunter with, well, a caribou...

This drawing owns a very special place in my heart 🖤 and actually this is the last pre-prepared one, so next prompt drawing may not be exactly on time.

Sail-out from Greenhythe, May 1845...

4 months of work. I so love it. Not sure if I should call it fanart or, better, a fantasy, but I so so SO love it 🩵

[joestarwalker]

I feel like it's a good time to post this little collection together! Sealittle, Pengjop, Francis the Kurwa Crozier and Fitzcheetah eager for your attention! There, for sure, will be more of them later, but I can't say when :(

[joestarwalker]

Happy Valentine's day for those who celebrate! Blanky there is waiting for his own one 😁

The Terror by Owen Stanley studying copy

Oh well. Few months ago, someone Zelda posted the painting of HMS Terror in Twitter, which I'd never seen before. The painting was simple but, for some reason, it caught my eye. I, first, thought, that it displays the Ross Antarctic Expedition, and had an urge to draw a studying copy... Well, I really thought, that somewhere there are Ross, Crozier and Jopson =D Here it is!

Then I realized, that I know NOTHING about this painting. Well, there is a signature in the corner. It says: 'H.M.S. Terror at 10 P.M. March 15 1837 O.S.' That's why I thought it's Ross Expedition. But who is O.S.? Where is this painting? What is it's name? Oh man. To find it out was quite a journey. First, I learned it's in Hubert Sagnières' private collection and the only place it's printed is his book 'For Glory, Not Gold: Expeditions Through Arctic Lands 1818-1876'. Then, with a significant help of Tanya @jolftashi, I realized that I was incorrect, the painting depicts not Ross, but Back Expedition, the certain moment when The Terror was hit by the iceberg at 15 March of 1837. The moment is described in George Back's book 'Narrative of an Expedition in H.M.S. Terror, undertaken with a view to geographical discovery on the Arctic shores, in the years 1836-7', Back, George, Sir., chap.V. Tanya also found the name of the mysterious O.S. and it is Owen Stanley, Second Lieutenant! He, actually, did a lot of sketches, which are collected to the sketchbook of his and can be found here: https://nla.gov.au/nla.obj-138502863/view Later, Zelda approved his name <3 Here, I would like to post the original painting. Because, well. That was quite a story. The man deserves at least his name put at the same place with his watercolor!

By the way, despite Crozier, Ross and Jopson, Graham Gore is somewhere on this painting as he was in the same expedition!

y'know that greatest award meme...

well, 🌑 painted a Grace study (reference pic from the great archive by @/gothamcity-batwatch ) wanted to add Stratt on the same sheet, but um sleeping is priority one rn

(and please give a post metal band Rosetta a listen, too. their music is a literal space travel n stuff)

why the meme, explained below

first, remembered first time we saw Ryan Gosling on screen (the character shared a name with us and was very, very small in all the Denis Villeneuve imagery, was liked and relatable then). the facial expressions a lot of people didn't like, but we never were that lot.

second, because we can, 🌑 touched him with our old not sci-fi pocketverse. where stars can communicate both via gravity and local organic life shaped symbionts, somehow assembled from sacrifices, memories, friendship. like unspeakable amount of time later, Sol, still not a red giant, is reaching for its children and their friends, and for its neighbours. and there's Grace, slowly recollecting his own memories again and very much surprised. and now he can hug Rocky and won't die in his atmosphere, because the world goes in cycles. (don't @ us about BSG, because yes a favourite show too)

If Guillermo del Toro directed The Terror, Tuunbaq would be a sexy furry bear with a tragic backstory, people would be drawing porn fanart of him, and Tobias Menzies would play Jopson’s mother in flashbacks

what if Goodsir was a good rock...

I was pondering a project hail mary and the terror crossover and then realised: we do have a pair trying to make a dictionary to understand each other
