『 DAYBREAK'S AURORA 🌥️🌈 』 ─ ✧˖° commission for smoreyowl

my little brother came into my room and told me that there was water all over the bathroom floor so i got up and grabbed a towel and ran into the bathroom to find all of my water energy pokemon cards sprawled out on the floor this kid is 5 fucking years old and he got me

do you think this is a fucking game (because he does)

There’s so much potential in this genre of joke. “There’s a fire in the kitchen!” etc.

#max is thirteen now :(

i find it so genuinely hilarious that my little brothers age is measurable on tumblr specifically by people who have seen this post. i moved out a while ago but i know that he would love how often his dorky ass joke gets passed around on here. thank you all very much.

Max is an adult now

another thing about kill la kill. the show is so fucking sneaky. you're watching it and it's all high strung, lightning paced, balls to the fucking wall action and comedy. and then you think back on an episode and you're like "woah one of satsuki's earliest memories is her father telling her she will wear Junketsu (purity) on her wedding night, a garment that can only be activated by the spilling of blood. and this act of blood being spilled will give her a unique form of power that necessitates her being naked and unashamed of her body. but she is being told it can only happen on her wedding night. and then she sees another teenage girl using HER garment, Senketsu (fresh blood), and becoming empowered in her own body without being married. and it infuriates her so deeply she spills blood on her own purity in order to reach higher levels of power. and then she beats that other girl to a pulp. because unlike that other girl, she actually fully embodies what it means to be naked and to be unashamed. this is actually the first step of that character reclaiming her own body after a lifetime of sexual trauma." and that all happens in episode TWO. and it looks like THIS

#kill la kill

ok so, I approached my local library with a proposal to donate a mural as a way to A: build portfolio/gain practical experience and B: give back to a beloved public institution. The director was very enthusiastic about it and i've been working on it since the beginning of March. Come with me as I endeavor to paint what is in all honesty an excessive amount of birds

I wanted the birds to look like they were actually in the space so first thing after doing the draft was to do a lighting study

after that I covered the walls in letters in lieu of a projector/vr headset bc i have neither of those :) Then i take a picture of the section of wall and superimpose the lineart over top of it so I can pencil in the lines

et voila

and that was a whole week on it's own so next comes the paintin' >:)

and now, the birds

Birds 1 and 2/14: Red Winged Blackbird, Male and female, Agelaius phoeniceus

Bird 3/14, American Robin, Turdus migratorius

hoo boy, ok *out of breath*

GIVE IT UP FOR BIRD NUMBUH 5, THE CANADIAN GOOSE, Branta canadensis!!!!

this guy took me about 4 days to completely finish, all of those freakingk coverts were a bear to render

speaking of obnoxious coverts:

bird 5/14, Bluejay, Cyanocitta cristata

the friggin stripes almost got me chat, i may not make it

Madam....

birds 6 and 7: American Goldfinch, Spinus tristis, male and female

pleasantly simple to paint! next is the flickerrrrr

*melts into goo*

BIRD NUMBER 8, (yellow shafted) NORTHERN FLICKERRRRR, Colaptes auratus

genuinely made me start questioning my sanity around day 3, it's half the size the of the goose, WHY did it take me 4 days to finish??

nothing but pain and suffering, i'm sure hope the next bird will be much easier and with FAR less barring :)
