Mahleb

Mahleb is an aromatic spice made from the seeds of a species of cherry, Prunus mahaleb. (c) Wiki

In one discussion, someone wrote me a phrase about Zeno: “How shitty he’ll be when (if) he returns to the game with a human body and tries such an unhealthy life xD” and now I can’t unsee it XD

Lieutenant Blake evoked rather mixed feelings. On the one hand, he's a rather unpleasant, arrogant individual. On the other, it was very surprising when, after the interrogation, he actually let Lawson go. I also noticed the traditional Imperial headdress for the first time, and for some reason I really liked the fact that it is with earflaps (as someone with frequently cold ears, I completely approve of this design XD).

When I read the description of these primarchs, I was impressed by the antagonism of their situations with the same final result. In general, when reading about the relationship of the Emperor with his sons, I often get the feeling that the Emperor is honestly sure that they are the same impenetrable nihilists like him. Therefore, their pronounced emotional reaction to some of his actions every time becomes a frank surprise for  man (looks at Lorgar with the Monarchy)

After the last episode of Shadow Lord. Maul's first encounter with, so to speak, innovation. Oh, these young people with their gadgets—back in our days, we were swinging swords ourselves!

[mahleb]

Sketches based on the "Shadow Lord" I just watched. I like Maul's new brothers (and the fact that they see him as a brother, not just a superior). I wouldn't be surprised if he recruited them from the same settlement Savage came from. And now I have some questions about his prosthetics. It's clear they're attached to his spine and the nerves running through it, but I was surprised to learn they have pain sensitivity. I wonder if they also have temperature and tactile sensitivity?

The "Study Sketch" challenge from the "Maidreaming" community. The challenge is "You receive a photo reference and create your own drawing based on it. This isn't a copy-and-paste exercise, but rather a learning and practice exercise. We value your process and understanding of form, not perfect accuracy." I decided to make a quick sketch without erasing the intermediate construction stages.

I found some old art of mine that I haven't posted here yet. The Orders' attitude toward their lost Primarchs is really interesting… Especially considering that Khan is the one REALLY worth looking for (especially if the poor guy really is stuck in Commorragh)! I really like the short description of what's going on from one chat (I'm attaching a screenshot translation with the author's permission).

The second part of the sketches on the theme "Zeno and the Joy of Being a Boss." When you and your subordinate have vastly different understandings of what's really necessary for scientific work.

I just got to the second season of Wednesday. The new director, Dort, reminded me a lot of Ned Flanders… Well, until the last couple of episodes.

I participated in the "Unseelie Court" challenge on another website. The host gave a brief description of a fairy, and I had to draw one based on that description. They gave me the following: "She can't move on her own—her limbs are controlled by taut strings, like a puppet."

When I imagine Albert meeting the "Connection," I'm trying really hard to unsee this meme XD

[mahleb]

I feel like an old dude trying to figure out these modern trends XD. Returned to Twitter after almost two years of absence and got shadowbanned for inactivity. T__T My new posts aren't showing up in the tag search, and when I comment on other people's posts, they're hidden with a warning sign indicating they might be spam. … The question is, will it go away over time, or is there anything I can do? I've confirmed my email address, registered in the app, and my phone number is also there… Adress there - Mahleb_

I like this emotional guy XD By the way, I wonder if Zeno even got the last name "Wesker" in the organization? Or is that a privilege reserved for those from the original Spencer program, and this replica "hasn't earned it"? (I'm trying hard to suppress all the "brand-name original vs. market copy" jokes in my head XD. Poor guy.)

[mahleb]

…Okay, I have another favorite character now XD (I like his approach to choosing clothes)

[mahleb]

A quick sketch with the new Resident Evil )) I liked the theory that Zeno smokes so much because he's constantly stressed (judging by his emotionality in the game, Wesker's self-control has clearly been transferred to him at about 0%).
