LOL, have fun! Anakin is such a mess, and Obi-Wan is the best.

I know this isn’t from Clone Wars, but LMAO.

Aww, tiny Caleb! I love this! Also, I really, really like that you brought in those characters at the end.

This Caleb is VERY tiny!

Lots of Jedi in the Temple! I almost brought in Obi-Wan instead, but I can’t resist Caleb’s whoops-went-darkside sort-of-mentors.

My style is probably not what you’re looking for, and I see this is really about you wanting to be able to draw. But I’ve been coming back to painting now that I’ve got a tablet and had time to play with digital art. Do you have something you want me to try? I start teaching again next week, so I certainly couldn’t give you any timeline or even say it would happen in a timely manner.

Oh wow, thanks! There are so many things rolling around my head that I’ll have to think for a bit, but that is super nice, whatever the timeline.

I get the sense that tumblr is in love with the modern reinterpretations, rather than the Roman version.

I’m not sure, tbh—well, they’re not usually thinking of the Roman version but the Greek versions and claiming that Persephone actually consented/wanted to go/something or other, but I don’t think it’s exclusively modern reinterpretations.

little me reading picture books of mythology loved this myth, then hermes’s birth and theft of cattle, and a distant third was orphesus and euridice

Little me mostly felt sorry for Demeter/Ceres :(

(But my faves were always “anything with Athena in it,” lol.)

Ugh, I’m so sorry. I don’t suppose you could leave a very detailed note, so you could get out of the house (and avoid dealing with him further)?

Well, it’s now been almost two hours since the last time he wandered in and out, so I’m guessing he’s done and not coming back? *screams into paper bag*

Go to someplace like Michaels, they have watercolor paper pads in a range of prices starting around $3-4.
