I've created a sideblog where I concentrate all my work on Vlad Draculea, so it can be easily found in one place -> Io, Draculea

Also I have a sideblog for just lols, so I don't overwhelm the main. Therefore if you just wanna laugh, visit -> Já, Beatrixie

I don’t have any disorders these are all symptoms of being a vampire

[tuts-nocturnal-notes]

Me with my sun allergy and frequent nosebleeds 🤣

I'm a self sufficient vampire you see. I drink blood via autotrophy 😆

[tuts-nocturnal-notes]

Oh Lord

So not in September (well that too).

Next weekend

Welp.....

At least I'll finally get rid of this pesky quest I guess 😅

[tuts-nocturnal-notes]

Training... And yet finding peace

For September I found myself written up for a medieval combat tournament, wish me luck or visit my grave 😆

[tuts-nocturnal-notes]

Why do I enjoy making these so much?

Somebody stop me 😄

I find drawing flowers strangely relaxing....

Until like the middle of the drawing, when it turns into stress XD

Then at the end when you think you have done so much damage it can't really be any worse now, it's starts being relaxing again 😄

I like this composite flower. And apparently I'm not alone since there are so many cloth patterns with it...

[tuts-nocturnal-notes]

I think I might be slightly better at drawing dogs now 😊

Compared to one moth ago 😁

I liked this one dog in particular. Unfortunately she has had both her hind legs broken in a car accident, but that didn't stop her at all from being the most energetic bundle of pure joy in the whole town, and also chasing the cats like a lightning! 🥰

What an inspiration

Also funny story she's called Puppy, but my friend misheard and thought she's called Sapi, a common Indonesian word. Then later she found out it means "a cow" in Indonesian. So apparently she was loudly screaming at the dog "come here you cow!!" every time she entered the accomodation the whole time without knowing 😆😅

Hmmm,

Maybe I shouldn't post only the ones that ended up good... 🤔

Some of the artwork I've created during the practice did end up really bad, like this one here.

But bad drawings are also part of practice. It's what practice is for: to have a space where to be bad too.

And when we post only the art that ended up good, we create the illusion that bad drawings don't exist. And that makes you feel worse still, because when you look at the internet and only see masterpieces, and then at your own blog where many of the things are not so prefect, you feel like a failure.

In the end, this series weren't supposed to be a showcase of masterpieces. It was to document a journey. And bad moments (and drawings) are part of the journey as well.

So, here. A bad one. Enjoy

You don't have to like it. You can just look and revel in the momentary feeling that not every try is successful, and sometimes I can be quite a bad artist as well XD. Well alas, the ink is unforgiving 😅

Ngl, I havent seen the 2025 Dracula yet, but I want to. Anyway, I would love to see a Dracula adaptation, and maybe one has already been made, where Mina (or whatever the adaptation calls her) is born lower/lower-middle class instead of being upper class like every adaptation does. I know she is supposed to be the reincarnation of the count's wife and therefore a countess/princess, but it would be really cool to watch a Dracula not only deal with the moral quandary of this reincarnation of his lover, but also her being apart of a way different stature, so on top of society frowning upon him going after a potentially taken woman, society would also frown upon an aristocrat going after, essentially, a serving girl.

I think it would make the story way deeper because it shows he would love her regardless of what her stature in life is. Similarly, I think a queer version where his wife gets reincarnated as a man would be cool, dealing with the moral quandary and self reflection of would I still love her if she was a man?

[tuts-nocturnal-notes]

This is why I love the Czech Dracula musical, where his dead wife reincarnates as a part of a motorcycle gang XD

[tuts-nocturnal-notes]

Good news!

My hand can be used again, so I'll be picking the slack.

In the meanwhile I'm learning local way of writing. Beautiful!

som na SlavCone na besede s prekladateľmi a jedna žena z publika sa spýtala, či slovenčina nie je limitujúci jazyk pretože ona napríklad pracuje v hernom priemysle a keď sa tam nejaká zbraň volá Mighty Thunderclap a oni z toho spravia ✨Mocný Bleskoplesk✨ tak to asi nie je úplne popiči takpovediac a ľudia moji, nielenže sa toto slovné spojenie okamžite stalo súčasťou mojej slovnej zásoby, momentálne bojujem s démonmi nezmeniť to na názov svojho blogu

[tuts-nocturnal-notes]

Mocný bleskoplesk 🤣🤣🤣 to rozhodně stojí za to!

Trochu mi to připomíná, jak jsme v rámci překládání Pottermore rozebírali, jak se překládá v různých jazycích, a dozvěděli jsme se, že kouzelná hůlka se ve francouzštině řekne baguette magique. Od té doby jsem nedokázala francouzského Harryho Pottera brát vážně 😅

I když čarobná palica také stála za to. Pravda, kouzlo "mdloby na tebe" se pak představuje o něco názorněji 😆

[tuts-nocturnal-notes]

I don't have a drawing for today (maybe later)

But I have a video of one of the most amazing nights of my life 😄.

It's not movie quality - I was a bit distracted 😆. But how can you capture such a supernaturally magical moment, really?

✨️ Twinkle twinkle little star, how the hell you draw an arm ✨️

[tuts-nocturnal-notes]

I've decided that quitting is for losers, so I'm trying to go around the unusefullness of my right hand by drawing this with the left hand! 😄 (well, it's not that that one was spared the harm, but at least not on the places where you hold a pen)

So, here, my first ever left handed drawing! 😄. Thank Heavens there are simply looking flowers here as well 😆

[tuts-nocturnal-notes]

Ah, alas, I'm afraid my drawing capability was compromised at last... 😅

Well, gonna catch up with it later
