oh hey these again. cant shut up abt them so check down there for all the stuff the tags couldnt fit

1: Atakus and Perditus whom I could not figure out how to dress so screw it, tapyri pussy attack. i had to draw an entirely new base bc when i tried coloring over the human versions Perditus's head was too tall and looked weird. figuring out how to do Atakus's wool was a special hell, but i think the end result is pretty good

2 & 3: both came to me as vivid visions after reading @whiteheartlight 's posts here and here. the first made me realize a funny thing abt the ships ive seen more commonly w kongu (and also the one that crawled directly out of my forehead like athena) and the second was just so powerfully evocative. his ragebaiting hounds. also its the first time i tried to give shape to what i like to call Miserable Wet Goth Hewkii Hair

4: this was spawned by @leiposting and Shadow Stealer's VA Waddlez3121 discovering that Shadow Stealer is short as hell and acting out a lil thing abt that. i love that lil smug treyla, i think thats the best lil face ive ever drawn :3

5: meant to be done for june but i only completed it now. THIS is a more definitive version of the Miserable Wet Goth Hewkii Hair that better complies with the hair texture i actually gave him; the yuri is helryx and johmak bc i like the sort of professional almost distant thing i gave them in a fic for bioshippingweek once; hakann n thok based on @lee-the-yeen 's designs and post; and last but not least romance-repulsed Gresh my beloved. he poofy :)

6 & 7: Mabara Bitri (full-body and headshot) and Usine, my frightening mysterious women!!!! i tried to sketch em out as soon as i finished that story i think, but im allergic to posting things on their own so they had to wait until i had more stuff. that lil doodle of Birì's features was also an attempt to show what jumps directly to the eyes of ppl who see her for the first time. the full-body was supposed to be similar to a carving but i think that got lost - i tried to do her burnt arm too, tho in the end decided to go for the sleeve and glove instead

8: another one i had in mind since forever - specifically since hearing the line "as important and loved as any of the sons of Makuta... or - well, maybe I'd tell myself that" in Akhmou's Lament and going Wow Just Like In My Pohatu's Psychological Torture AU! they would be great friends i think. just two horrendously poor self-esteemed stone lads who long to be evil worms cradled in their definitely certainly very trustworthy employer's claws

Fragmentary Leaf from an Ashtasahasrika Prajnaparamita Sutra

Kashmir or western Tibet, 12th century

Gold, lapis lazuli, cinnabar, indigo, and orpiment pigments and black ink on paper

This painting depicts the personification of the wisdom text Prajnaparamita. She is represented in six-armed form, the central hands are held over the heart in a variation of the dharmacakramudra, whilst her upper hands display the sacred book (pustaka) and the thunderbolt scepter (vajra), whilst her lower hands hold a rosary (mala) and gesture boon granting. She wears golden jewelry on her body and a tripartite diadem adorns herhead, which is framed by a red halo. A girdle, seemingly of strings of pearls, secures her waistcloth, beautifully decorated with large red rosettes in blue hexagonal frames. Slender ribbons fly through the air, one supporting a blue lotus bloom and stem. She is seated in a mediation posture, enthroned on a golden lotus and she is encircled in a rainbow colored nimbus. Particularly noteworthy is the tonal modelling of the bodily forms, heightened with finely controlled orange-red lines. The swelling breasts and constricted waist are hallmarks of the Kashmir style.

Dash Dragon: Creativity

Special Delivery for @vanali-of-winterfell!

Orpiment is a mineral that has been used historically for making beautiful pigments! Unfortunately it's toxic, so its use has (hopefully!) dramatically declined in the art world.

But no matter-- whether you're a writer, a painter, or whatever breed of artist, you can have this very fancy orpiment dragon to inspire beauty and creativity in all you create, without any toxicity or drama!

May you always be happily inspired.
