Paper and Dust

We have one shot at this life. Better get it right.

Morning vibes. Watercolour.

Slowly working on getting back into the groove of art. In the meantime, here’s some lore olympus sketchies i’ve been doing while waiting anxiously on the next smoochy chapter. 

[paperanddust]

Hey again.  I’ve been using Tinder, and illustrating some of the conversations I have. 

[paperanddust]

Trust no one. I wonder how Stanley felt after getting back, thrust into a world that has changed so much, surely. 

[paperanddust]

Because I love it, I illustrated it.

My mental hidey hole. The valley.

what music types d'you think the other daedric princes would have? molag's got smooth jazz, for example

This is an excellent question considering how if I were to imagine these Princes in ANYTHING it would be in an animated musical (I am RUINING the Elder Scrolls why are you guys still here lol)

So let’s see ahh..

Azura's got real nice choirs, usually stuff that ranges from Opera and choir houses to the fugkin muses from Hercules, always the singers upbeat with a lot of energy. 

Mehrunes Dagon has whatever wrestling entrance music comes into your head. 

Hircine is real humble and to himself, so some nice Celtic stuff would suit him well. Traditional instrumental music. 

Meridia has really feel-good-happy kind of songs, the kind you could imagine Snow White or any of the more optimistic early princesses from Disney singing. Animal friends would DEFIANTLY join. 

Malacath is also pretty humble and simple, but he’s also got a real hardworking kind of feel to him. I don’t know a genre name for this, but imagine choirs of men singing tunes as they heave ho to work. 

Namira is weird because while I associate her with really gritty drum based tunes, I also think of her whenever I hear the Tarzan soundtrack so like, I dunno hmm. Though really, just imagining a group of lively homeless people around a fire making some melodic noise is real fun to think of.

Boethiah I like to imagine can have that really dramatic villany music, or hardcore guitar solos it’s a mix of those two. I think of old Metallica. 

Clavicus Vile probably has really nice piccolo or flute music? Nothing too big, pretty simple stuff he could talk over, since his sphere is making money  souls deals. 

Mephala gets the fuckgin Itsy Bitsy Spider song. But in all seriousness, I usually think of her when I hear really middle eastern sounding-esque stuff? I dunno a genre name for it I gotta learn more on that.

Sanguine get’s real nice piano music, with really seductive fun lyrics. The kind of music you wanna play when you set up a fancy evening with your date, and you gotta rose petal trail leading to your bed. Or you know, this.

Nocturnal, like Azura in ways, gets more opera/classical music, but hers would be real slow and kinda errie. I usually think of Nightwish when I think of Noc.

Vaermina gets sleep music. (ah I’m sorry, we have’t really characterized her yet)

Hermy I actually can’t think of anything for! BUT, Mike showed me this lovely gem by Weird Al and you know I think it fits. I like to imagine him singing it to my dragonborn, Hella, personally.

Sheogorath I want you to literally take a good guess I think you all know he would be the theatrical music big show Broadway commercialism bang I don’t even HAVE a good example. Though Mike showed me this and this and I think it’s pretty nice for ‘em.

Peryite is essentially the Eeyore of this funky lil group of demon lords so you know I think of this

Jyggalag I don’t think likes music. It’s counterproductive and mindless noise to him. 

And Molag's got jazz!

Wow this was fun to put together~

[paperanddust]

Clavicus vile would definitely be 'Gimme' by Alice Cooper. Allll the way.

More small watercolors of this boy in even more jackets! I am so ready for fall. Messed with his shapes/design, and practiced glazing graded washes.

Also, found a good mix for splotchy light denim! The pants in the left one were way too teal, and when I layered a tiny thin wash of red oxide on top, it not only neutralized but added texture.

The "sweater curse" or "curse of the love sweater" is a term used by knitters to describe the belief that if a knitter gives a hand-knit sweater to a significant other, it will lead to the recipient breaking up with the knitter."

This is an actual thing. There's even a whole Wiki page on it. It's the Knitters curse.

This should sooo be the premise for one of Mabel's next breakups.

Let's get out those diaries, people. 

[paperanddust]

This is my OC, Mole, part of a concept for a game. Basically, I wanted a pajama wearing, female, normal protagonist. As how many stories start out, there is nothing extraordinary about her in the way that none of us truly are extraordinary. It's the workings of the game, the plot as it writhes, that might change that. Or not. But Mole has no vibrant powers, of that I'm firm - No more then what we humans come naturally equipped with, and then being trapped in her own dreamscape, in which things may be influenced... We'll see.

I'm pretty sure my brain would look like a cross between a students apartment complete with coffee cups and papers strewn over the place, and a psychedelic TV forest with mangy cats cawing at me from different vantage points and 'you should be sleeping' being the sound of the wind as it rustles through the strange trees.ion

"Dipper! Grunkle Stan didn't like the sweater I knitted him, so I knitted an extra hole... Andthisyearforhalloweenwe'regoingastwins!" "Mabel, we ARE twins." "Sshhh! You'll ruin the magic!"

I’m a bit of a colour whore.

Here’s a sneaksie of one picture from a series I’m doing for homework for uni - to conceptualise, and then make concept art for a game of our choosing. Mine is a focus around the brain, and exploring it from a dreamscape vantage point. How would our dreams and fears influence our own mind world? I can only speak for myself.

Watercolours, pen, love and end of semester aneurisms.

A super quick sketch of glee for this weeks episode. Stan, what are you getting at, hmmm? Back to all the stuff I should be doing instead of obsessing over this show.
