It's been a little over a week since he started his posting. No fires. No hikers this far out. Clark is well and truly alone, if you don't count all the wildlife.

He follows his usual routine. He rolls out of bed. Still in his sleep clothes, he heads out of the building onto the catwalk. He keeps one hand on the railing as he walks the perimeter of the lookout and scans the forest for anything worth reporting. There is nothing.

He boils some water using his heat vision and makes himself a mug of coffee with the instant coffee his Pa always makes sure he's supplied with. He eats the strawberry muffin his Ma sent him back with as he fills out the weather report.

[…]

It’s fine.

It’s fine. It's good, almost.

Clark is going to be fine.

After lying around untouched for over 20 years, I finally tried out my ancient set of colored pencils. And now I’m wondering why I didn’t use them for so long - I love drawing with these!

Bougie Cat & Ghost by Lane Brown

My friend, are you, too, dappled with the textures of your rocky mountains?

[ID: digital illustration of an Andean cat and a snow leopard in a purple background, framed with various details in gold. The felids seem to be coming down from the heights, looking towards each other, you can see their similarly grey pelts, the Andean cat's painted with elongated, brown and purple spots, and the snow leopard's with blocky, dark purple ones. Each cat has a bright yellow spark behind them, and there's a big rhomboid star between the two. There are less vibrant stars scattered in the background. The frame shows mountains at the top and the bottom; the ones at the top are four from the Himalaya: Nanda Devi, Dhaulagiri, Kachenjunga and Mount Everest. At the bottom, the Andes are represented by three mountains: Ojos del Salado, Huascarán and Nevado Tres Cruces. The corners at the top have a Siberian ibex and a chinchilla each, reversed at the bottom, these are prey to these cats. On the sides, a plant, a star, a sun and a moon, divided by zigzags, decorate the frame. Their respective scientific names are written in square letters: Leopardus jacobitus for the Andean cat and Panthera uncia for the snow leopard, with a paw print after each one. End ID]

I was thinking the other day how similar these two are, despite being apart both taxonomically and spatially, and this idea would not leave my head until I finished it, so here :]

Drawing them from this angle was a challenge, and then I decided to spend more time researching mountains from their respective habitats to decorate the frame, trying to make it so they overlapped with their registered populations, so this took longer than I anticipated, but I'm happy with the results :D!

Silent Afternoon

[nsml-art]

"Superman, huh?" Dick says, spinning around in one of the extra chairs as Bruce checks the logs from the days he's been away.

"What about him?" Bruce asks, and with that he's knows he's given himself away.

Dick stops spinning, planting his feet on the ground to give Bruce an incredulous look.

"No shit," he says. Bruce turns to glare at him, but Dick's grin looks big enough to split his face. "No shit! Oh my god! Superman!"

"Dick," Bruce growls, but he can feel the blush on his own face.

"So when is he coming over?"

"He's not," Bruce tells him.

"Oh, come on, B. You should invite him for dinner."

"Definitely not."

Dick stands, then, stops behind Bruce's chair. He crosses his arms over the back and hangs his head over the side, like he used to do so often when he was younger.

"Dinnerrrr," Dick says, and when he gets no reaction out of Bruce except for a deeper blush, he laughs, a loud, happy sound that tugs at Bruce's heart, and for some reason it kind of makes him want to cry, the sound of his eldest's joy echoing off the cave walls. He blames it on the emotional stress he won't admit to having.
