How I painted Space Void with moon eyes~ I have a huge backlog of painting videos to share, but they take so long to edit down from hours to a minute 😭I wish I had discovered the timelapse hack for Paint Tool SAI sooner, sigh...

Look Up
~~~
I don't usually dabble in realism - but this was a gift for someone very meaningful in my life. And some things just deserve to be painted as they are.

Browning Resolves to Be a Poet
by Jorge Luis Borges tr. Alastair Reid
In these red London labyrinths I find that I have chosen the most curious of human professions, though given that all are curious, in their way. Like alchemists who looked for the philosopher’s stone in elusive quicksilver, I shall make ordinary words — the marked cards of the sharper, the people’s coinage — yield up the magic which was theirs when Thor was inspiration and eruption, thunder and worship. In the wording of the day, I in my turn will say eternal things; I will try to be not unworthy of the great echo of Byron. This dust that is me will be invulnerable. If a woman partakes of my love, my poem will graze the tenth sphere of the concentric heavens; if a woman shrugs off my love, I will make music out of my misery, a vast river reverberating on through time. I will live by forgetting myself. I will be the face I half-see and forget, I will be Judas who accepts the blessed destiny of being a traitor, I will be Caliban in the swamp, I will be a mercenary dying without fear or faith, I will be Polycrates, horrified to see the ring returned by destiny, I will be the friend who hates me. Persia will grant me the nightingale, Rome the sword. Agonies, masks and resurrections will weave and unweave my fate and at some point I will be Robert Browning
