turning 30

[thisischarles]

I turned 30 this month. This damn website has now been with me for more than half my life. I don't know how I feel about that at all.

Belisaria, Hester, Kulang, and Stelmaria, please!

Omg thanks for the ask!! This was so fun to come up with answers for

Belisaria: I think I’m a nervous talker, I talk to fill the void, so I think my daemon would be super chatty to help me cope with social situations. Their voice would hopefully be cheerful, maybe musical laughter? Something nice to listen to, friendly, welcoming and comforting to offset my nerves hahaha

Hester: I think if I had a daemon I would explore nature much more, because it’s something I would love to do if I didn’t have to do it totally alone. I imagine a lot of lone hiking with only each other’s company. Seeking solitude in nature.

Kulang: I think my daemon would be much more outgoing and extroverted than I am, because I feel like daemons do tend to round out parts of their humans’ personalities that are kind of lacking, or embody underlying traits that aren’t obvious. I’m an introvert but I’m extroverted when I have the right someone to bring me out of my shell so I think my daemon would be the socialite I want to be.

Stelmaria: Hahaha I fall in love, or at least used to fall in love, with the idea of people very easily so I think my daemon would still be a bit like that, just enamoured with a different person on the daily. At the same time though I’m very loyal to people I do develop actual love for, so I think my daemon would be super defensive of their daemon and would constantly want to cuddle them etc. I think they would also call me out on my shit if I didn’t really love someone but couldn’t admit it to myself.

I'm so proud of this. So, so proud. Painting is not what I usually do, but honestly after this practice, I think I honestly should do more of it. The hands are honestly a miracle because the screenshot of a GIF that I used as a reference had really blurry hands so I kind of had to guess at what I was looking at. And I'm so proud that the face actually looks like Natalie Dormer. Always a plus when your drawing looks like the person you're trying to draw.

Now to finish Sansa, and the dreaded background, and I'll have painted the scene!

it only took the better half of my day but it's done!

this was really more a study in skin tones and hands, because I'm very bad at both of those things...

I have to reiterate, I couldn't find the original photographer of the photo I referenced, so my apologies to that person.

I'm thinking of opening up $10 or $15 simple commissions for like busts or head shots or something. I'm so poor right now omg. would anyone be interested? check out my stuff and let me know and I"ll think about setting up a listing.

When you get this you have to say 5 nice things about yourself publicly, then send it to 10 of your favourite followers :)

I’m someone’s favorite follower? Wow thanks! Okay, so my 5 things:

I love to bake and I think every one of my friends likes that too because they get to eat whatever I make

to get (important) things done, I am very organized and proactive

I’m a decent dancer

don’t hate me for this — I never got bad acne as a teen and my face is generally okay-looking

my knees are awesome for not giving up on me no matter the stuff I put them through

what is this ball pit joke going around?

Well basically, from what I can tell, DashCon happened, and it was a total train wreck. Like DashCon was supposed to be a convention for Tumblr or something and was horrifically planned to the point of it becoming one massive joke.The Ball Pit comes in because I think a part of the entertainment was supposed to be a big ass proper ball pit and jumping castle r something - instead people walked into a massive room with a tiny jumping castle and a tiny blow up pool (already starting to deflate) held together with tape and filled with a few balls - and that was it. Apparently someone has since peed in it…Disclaimer: I haven't been to DashCon, I don't even live in America so I don't really know what's going on, but if you check out the DashCon tags here on tumblr, you’ll find a wealth of info on the whole debacle - and more jokes about the ball pit hahaha
