"And the sky embraces us" (2012)

A quick painting I made back in the day. I can't remember what inspired it, but there was some emotional weight, most likely Winter depression, but perhaps something else. A little scene, at a high mountain patch of woods.

Not much to say, a simple one, but i like the colors.

And yes, I remain distanced from social media, but it's what I need, and what's best for me at the moment.

I hope you're all doing well

"Pride Gals" (2022)

In my patient (but slower than I'd like..) cathegorizing of what pictures I've yet to upload to this blog, and well in tune with the month, have two Lesbian gals. Awka and Acol!

Because I like including some trivia to my uploads, "Acol" means "The one that leads to the lake". Remember her desicion, as a newcomer, to accompany Awka to cross the lake behind the Ñirantal (now Chaura's herd territory), into the Icefield. Acol is also the name of one of my favourite mountains in this region. It's a harsh one, with unmarked trails, streams where filling your bottle and shadow become scarce there in Summer- not a mountain for begginers or unprepared people. It also has two beautiful crater-lakes at the summit, which I also reflected in the comic's landscappery.

Acol also, as a character, has some influence from Tomoyo (from Card Captors Sakura), and her "square-ish" marking patterns reflect the character's haircut to a very loose degree (I was never a fan of animal markings resembling human haircuts too accurately, they always end up looking kind of weird, haha). I also picture her voice to sound alot like Tomoyo's latin american voice, except more adult-sounding (still soft and a bit high-pitched).

So yeah. Putting some order in my files, to resume updating ASAP!

Awka, and Yucca&Capuli figurines (2019 both)

Cold porcelain modelings! To this day, the two of them are resting on a shelving, some two metres away from me right now.

Awka one was especially challenging, due to Deer Legs, but I do recall loving working on it, and I am still quite fond of both figures, for that very reason. I was going to make a Palqu one, but only made the early stages back then and didn't complete it, I might still have the unpainted base around haha. Maybe I should check how well he looks?

Anyway, something different. I almost didn't make Capuli to accompany Yucca back then, but then I realised it was then or never, due to his wee eeny size..
