Shaa'er, the Poet. Calligraphy pen and brush pen on paper. I can't believe it's been a year since @ssjulian nudged me to do Inktober for the first time. I have a number of irons in the creative fire, including the beginnings of a short one-act musical featuring Shaa'er as the lead, but I'm looking forward to having an excuse (and a community) to focus on drawing for a month. Look out for drawings every day on this account, and possibly another one... For those who are looking to improve at drawing, I highly recommend jumping in on Inktober! Just Google it—Instagram isn't great with links.It's tough to overstate how liberating it is to focus on quantity over quality. The best part is, if you are attentive and deliberate, the brain finds a way to make quality happen after all. Shaa'er believes in you.

Ezhdehaa-ye Kaazeb, the “False Dragon” or Dragon of Falsehoods. Really just a gnarly riparian predator, the Kaazeb disguises itself as a cypress or pine tree and lives for the thrill of the hunt. #micronpen #staedtlerfineliner #persian #folklore #persianfolklore #dragon #inkdrawing https://www.instagram.com/p/CBWsM2WM6F8/?igshid=15iqrcgdz3mle

The Left-Hand Vizier doesn’t ask as many questions as the Right-Hand Vizier does. When he does, it’s usually, “Shall we go to war?”, “Why are we not at war with them?”, or, “Where do you think you’re going?” That last one is never great to hear, as where the Left-Hand walks, his summoned soldiers follow close behind. ...
