Result from the Milia 5 #paleostream! This locality, from the late Pliocene of Greece, got a lot of attention in the early 2000s for the discovery of giant probocidean remains, most notably 5 m long tusks of "Mammut" borsoni, the European Mastodon.
The locality of Milia is suited in central Greece. Since it's discovery over 3300 fossil specimens have been excavated from this sand pit that gives us a good look at Europe just before the Ice Ages hit. The climate here was quite a bit more humid and maybe slightly warmer...
Instead of open woodland and bushland today, the Hyrcanian forests in Iran might be a somewhat good comparison. These old growth forests would have been full of massive trees, in this case a giant oak is setting the stage for us, with pigs and elephants gorging themselves...
on acorns and fresh leafs. Disturbed by all this commotion a Agriotherium mother is leading away her cubs while porcupines and tortoises supplement their died with some Homotherium bones. We choose the locality of Milia 5 specifically because it shows the highest diversity...
but also abundance of animals within Milia, with big amounts of Mammut, rhinos and deer suggesting a very productive ecosystem. While you would expect large elephants and maybe rhinos you also get more exotic animals like the giant tortoise Titanochelon or the last european...
Tapir, that is waiting shyly at the edge of the scene. Not everything got into this piece, but it's mostly species we have elsewhere as well. There is still more material but be published from and I am awaiting it eagerly! Size chart by Dynamo.
Howdy! All the my drawings from My Favorite Touhou Songs, A Video Essay ^~^
They're very rough, closer to sketches than they are to full works but I don't I think I'll ever polish them, Hopefully some of them can be enjoyed from a distance Q~Q
Helli hello! ^^ I did another redesign but it's one of the few you didnt saw yet, so i'm gonna put an old drawing of her to give you a good hmm how to say it? Like a good before and after?
Please be nice in the comments, respect my work and please dont try to copy or steal my characters ^^ i'm watching you and i'll find you 👁👁 be respectful ^^ (i'm not saying that just for me -3- but for all the others people posting their drawings ^^ be respectfull to them ^^)
Anyway this oc is from my tloz au "the guardian au" and this oc is from the timeline of Ocarina of time and majoras mask
(Anyone want to laugh? My connection is apparently so bad it told me this wasnt post TvT and I spend the next 20 minutes re writting EVERYTHING TvT i'm gonna cry I think 😭)
Now a little history about this character, first of all, she's the cousin of Malon, like older cousin. She lived with her familly when she was younger but with the previous war she lost everything her familly farm and her familly being trap in an incendie. The poor girl was orpheline at the age of 7.
That aswell the time where she met link for the first time, as a baby, with his hurt mother. With the indendie happening not long before the poor girl angel nature took over so she kinda was like in some kind of transe and guide the poor scared mother to the lost wood, before leaving. After that she got taken care of with others orphelins like her by the sheika were they got trained as assassins for the royal familly.
Years later Milia (that her name) since long had stopped the assassin training, escaping this life but keeping her skills intact. She's mature, calm, preventive, gentle, a bit authoritarian when needed ^^" .
Anyway she met the young hero at her 17 by pure accident trying to train her flying skills (because her wings got burned in the incendie and she never got to actually learn to used them or the new pairs that grew) and fall in the lost wood where she met a special little brat that she soon be ask to watch over by the deku tree.
Of course it's a kid so she dont mind him much and dont exactly take much notice of the things he say. He's a kid after all. Like all the other girls she's immortal the moment she accept her guardian/baby-sitter nature. So when little boy running after her like a happy puppy doing dumb stuff every few seconds she's not watching him, got forced to grow up with 7 years of sleep she didnt changed one bit.
Tho now she beed to deal with the grow up version of the little brat, who's even more persistant with his puppy crush now that he's older ^^"
Determination is key on this one cause the skilled ex assassin got a lot on her plate on this first adventure ^^". To explain, when passing through past and present the present Milia actually know what happened to the futur Milia. Tho she's getting the biggest headhach of her life since everything kinda mix up in her brain. Of the whole bunch of angel she's the one where time affect her the less, and she exist in all three branch as a mysterious character ^^ always keeping track with everything.
Anyway! ^^ her weapons? Daggers and small knifes, she hide them in the boots and can throw them with a terrifying precision. She's also in the top 3 of the strongest physically of the whole bunch. Even if she got some help with the goron bracelet link gave her at some point (let's just say thing happened in the futur and poor baby kinda got traumatize by seeing her hurt ^^")
On the MM adventure technically she wasnt there at first, she just got yank in it forcefully when link first use the ocarina to go 3 days back... the landing was harch let's just say ^^"
After the first adventure the relation between the two got complicated but she was still attach to the small hero, just like he was and yeah ^^" let's just say she got to take her frustration on some boss ^^"
Now something interresting if you're actually curious about my au :3
When link finally got the fierce deity mask and put it on, the "god" actually took a long minute to look at her like he knew something, but kept silent. And that all the infos you'll get for her for now ^^. And now here's the drawings
Before
After
Please be nice the first one is kinda old ^^" like one or two years? I cant remember ^^" but my drawing style really changed i think. You can tell which one you prefer too if you want ^^ (also please be nice and dont jump at my throat ^^" i'm still learning on my own after all ^^)
1 Vincent Van Gogh (1853, Netherlands - 1890, France)
Van Gogh's Chair (1888) oil on canvas 93×73.5cm
2 Gauguin's Chair (1888) oil on canvas 90.5x72.7cm
text: National Gallery, London
This painting of a simple chair set on a bare floor of terracotta tiles is one of Van Gogh’s most iconic images. It was painted in late 1888, soon after fellow artist Paul Gauguin had joined him in Arles in the south of France. The picture was a pair to another painting, Gauguin’s Chair (Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam). They were to be hung together, with one chair turned to the right, the other to the left.Both chairs function as surrogate portraits, representing the personalities and distinct artistic outlooks of the two artists. While Van Gogh’s chair is simple and functional, Gauguin’s is an elegant and finely carved armchair. Van Gogh’s chair, on which he placed his pipe and tobacco, is shown in bright daylight. Gauguin’s, with two novels on its seat, was painted at night and is illuminated by a candle and gas light.

This painting of Paul Gauguin's chair is a 'portrait' of Van Gogh's friend and fellow artist. The modern novels and burning candle on the green seat cushion symbolize the character of the absent painter.
Using mainly red and green hues, Van Gogh tried to suggest the mood of night. He also painted a pendant of this work with a daytime atmosphere: his own simple peasant chair in bright yellow and blue. The two paintings represent the different personalities of the two artists, who quarreled and went their separate ways soon afterwards.
Van Gogh skillfully captured the bluish shadows and reflected light on the polished wood of the chair. These were created by the gas lighting (a gas lamp can be seen in the background).
