I don’t often get into touchy subjects on social media, but I’m seeing that the Rapture’s been trending on Twitter/X due to Eclipse 2024. As a Christian, here's a gentle reminder that even if it doesn’t happen today, He’s still good & will come again someday. Use today to love God, love others, wear your glasses, and have fun!

AUGH!! Thank you thank you thank you!!! They are beautiful!

Happy late birthday @lightening816 ! 😃 This is a gift I wanted to do for you, but I couldn't have ready for your birth date since I was caught up with my yearly Lent Calendar. However, I have it now, and I deliver. Hope you like it! 😊

Vera and Sal are Lucy's OCs from her Web Comic "The Vale of Wales" ( @vowcomic ) They are both fae creatures, being Vera a Water horse, and Sal a Fire Salamander. You can say that both have some ✨ chemistry ✨ between them. 💧🔥

Made with pencil colors and pens at April 04 of 2024.

This is from my art blog, and I wanted to clarify that my uploading schedule should resume in the week of May 5th. My normal upload schedule is anytime between Sunday and Tuesday each week, so it is currently during that time frame in the week of May 5th that I’ll start uploading again. Thank you for your patience!

I'm going to put @vowcomic, aka The Vale of Wales on a temporary hiatus. I'm entering a crucial point in my web development career bootcamp where my final projects are finally here. As excited as I am to finish Chapter 14 & jump into Chapters 15 and 16, school's got to come first. Thank you!

Bad news, guys.

[lightening816]

Not gonna lie, I saw #HelpBigBird trending, and I thought to myself, 'Oh no, not again...'

@aiorevelations, @livehorses, @odyssey-owl, @jjjustvibing, @elle-eedee, @lizhortons, @grape-flavored-rukuuuuuu, @long-live-the-gobop, @adventuresinodysseypintrestboard, and @applesauce1131,

"The flaw in your proposal is that you assume my soul is redeemable;...It isn't. I auctioned it off years ago. He very easily could've turned towards the door and turned himself in, but he wouldn't do it...

Here's my entry for the 1000 Thumbnail AiO Fanart project!!

Whenever I read about the tunnels in the Blackgaard books or hear about them in the audio program, I think of a sharply lit dirt path with heavy shadows and sharp lighting.

I wanted to be bold and make this pic a little scary with those really heavy shadows and exaggerated angles that emphasize easily the creepiest part of the episode, but then I remembered that I'm submitting this to FotF's AiO and not FotF's Screwtape Letters, so I backed off the horror angle and used sharp lighting in the tunnel and soft lighting from Whit's End to emphasize the seriousness of the moment. I used an ink tool and marker brush for his hair and air brushes for his heavy, reddened eyes, to suggest physical symptoms of the Ruku Virus. Meanwhile, the cord intertwines around him, showing how trapped he is from the inside and out.

Anyway, I'll let y'all know if FotF approves it. I'm keeping my fingers crossed, because I'll probably die of embarrassment if they deem it too scary...

Just jumped into the 1000 Episode Fan Art link and grabbed Episode 334, The Final Conflict! I have a solid idea for The Final Conflict fanart entry, and I really hope FotF likes it! I grew up with some of the Odyssey cartoons, but it was the Blackgaard Chronicles that got me into the radio program and made me realize that the world AiO takes place in is much larger than the cartoons suggested. And in my opinion, The Blackgaard Chronicles is about hope and despair: Some of the characters are full of hope (Whit, Jack, Jason, etc), Eugene and Richard are somewhere in the middle given their experiences with forgiveness and redemption, and then there's the arc's namesake, who's full of despair (Blackgaard).

To me, Dr. Blackgaard in The Final Conflict is what you get when despair enters a morally broken soul. He wants eternal life, but without the Jesus part, because that would mean changing himself, and that bothers him more than he lets on. I want my piece to convey that brokenness, not enough to concern FotF and be denied, but just enough to show what despair looks like.

And yeah, I'm probably overthinking this arc to a degree, but whenever I hear Earl Boen's performance in the Final Conflict, the word 'despair' tends to come to mind.

New hair, new glasses, new year, new me!! Can’t wait for 2024!

Random Christmas Thought:

Ok but I used to wonder why Hermey the elf in Rudolph looked so different from everybody else, but as I’ve gotten older, I’ve figured that it was all a stylistic choice, to show just how lonely he is…but that begs the question…why does he look so human, compared to the others? Did he get his blond hair from his blonde elf mother? Was she even an elf?? Was she a human? What about his father? In this essay, I will-
