I'm torn on this one he's really talented and it's a great song but it's just not Eurovision™ you know what I mean

" O Radagon, leal hound of the Golden Order. Thou'rt yet to become me. Thou'rt yet to become a god... "

Late hour, Elden Ring inspired, colored sketch. Had fun messing with the watercolor brush and a bit of aper texture, not the prettiest work, i know, but now that this pose is finally outside of my head, i'll sleep peacefully. See ya soon! ✨

I wanted to share my very first attempt to create an animatic. An experiment, you can say, to the tune of an original, all in all hopeful song, by dear Sha.Shaka on Instagram!

Still trying to fight THE artblock. Last year was nothing short of overbearing, unfortunately. The battle continues this 2025! Happy Valentine day, everybody! 💙

[shaelzero]

Happy November 5th to everyone who's celebrating!

May this useful hoard nurish new and old artist’s need of instruction and tips.

While be roaming in the desert of burnout, stranded on the desert island of social anxiety and artblock or simply confused how to step forward with their personal journey…

…just know we are many, and we are grateful…

\[T]/ thank you, kind stranger,

*seen the movie, half asleep now*

.. echm..

I think they have the movie title wrong..

..it should have been Dreams.

Like, you know, the ones we see taken from people by Magnifico.. and let me explain why I think this concept make more sense, for what info they had given to us.

Exhibit a, the realistic ‘wish’.

You don’t WISH to inspire people. You know you can do it, but you also know, for people to listen to you, you’ll need to put your mind, heart and effort in the task. And even then, there are some who wouldn’t care. But you have to, because it’s you drive, it’s what you want, it’s what will make you feel whole. Your DREAM.

You don’t WISH to be the better artist/dress maker/baker, you work on your craft to get better and get results. In time, with effort and sacrifice, that will be worth your while when you finally grasp your DREAM.

If you decide to give away the will to do these things by yourself (things you CAN actually archieve as a normal human being) because you come to know there COULD be a easier way (by magically means) that effortlessly grant you the final prize..

..is not a WISH, is opportunistic laziness.

And maybe, (just maybe) you don’t really deserve to have that DREAM, since is not that precious to you that you feel the need to protect and fight for it, but instead you so easily decide to put it in someone else’s hands, (quite literally) given the chance, making THEM do the work.

Those are the realistic dreams, but there is another category: the unobtainable fantasy’s .

Exhibit b: to fly, you don’t WISH to fly.

We know, people give the ‘wish’ at 18 years of age, meaning you have awareness of being a human, with no magic, or anatomy feats for that to ever become a reality ( not has we see in the bubble anyway), no matter the effort you can put in it. As an adult you still could DREAM of flying.

A kid could wish to fly, because they are not yet grounded in reality so they could believe it could really happen if they have faith and be good enough.

Maybe a fairy, or a mage could grant that wish.. (but then there’s a fly on the wall and suddenly wish they could be a cat to catch it but it’s approaching bed time so now the wish changes again, now they could be a dragon to avoid bedtime.. and so on..)

I totally understand the need to put a minimum age limit.. it would have been a fucking nightmare.

But, to get to the point I’m making here:

most kids, don’t have yet the concept of what is potentially possible obtaining through effort and what is physically unarchievable, so they could WISH for literally anything.

But ALL the ‘wish’ given to Magnifico are from ADULTS.

And if we listen well, the movie tell us that he doesn’t takes just ‘the wish’ but that he takes a metaphisycal part too, from the people heart and then make the people forget about it..

The BETTER part of them allegedly, leaving them ‘sad and boring’…

(well just the protagonist’s friend, because NONE of any other citizen of Rosas EVER seems different from a normal person. In the first fucking song we see a rather happy living population lazing around town, dancing for the newly arrived tourists.. but I’m digressranting ).

My point is: even if you forget A wish, as important as it may have been to you, by forgetting it you become a clean slate.. and, as STUPIDLY pointed out IN THE MOVIE, during the ‘cringy q&a to make a distraction’ a peasant ask something on the line of ‘What if I develop another wish? Or I change my wish?”

If he took only A wish, these would be possibly things that could happen, to living thinking human, in years.

But, if you switch to what I’m suggesting , it suddenly clicks: no one in the entire movie use the word or concept of dream/dreams.( non that I can recall.. or in a meaningful way, but I could be wrong..).

I think that’s because..

.. people FORGOT they exist.

Because they can’t DREAM anymore.

Because the best part of they’r heart, the part that allows to conceive and create new dreams, was given willingly away.

And as Disney love, especially in this movie, the self references and to pay homage :

“ A WISH is a DREAM your heart makes..”

..Sound familiar to anyone?..

*drop to sleep*

It was suppose to be just a sketch but i overdid (and ruin everything trying to color a bit XD)

Aaaand i really liked the live dnd /final fantasy mixrp this guys have decided to play.

(You can find them on Youtube on InnTaleTV, but be aware, they are italians and they role in italian. <3)

[shaelzero]

Gods and Demigods seem to have a someone they fancy..

Welcome to Elden Dating - Royal Family Edition

YOU decide who gets the Ring !

...

(Yes, it's just a little stupid derivative fanart. Indulge me, i had to fight artblock really hard to complete all of this.) <3

[shaelzero]

I just feel like sharing a little wip for a silly thing I’m working on…

… yes, another fanart…

[shaelzero]

Guess who saw a really cute movie recently and wanted to celebrate? <3 (Just a colored sketch without too much study behind, i had fun and tried a few little things.)

[shaelzero]

I think i cracked the secret to 'who gave birth to this character' inside Fromsoftware offices... We had in DS1, a selfless knight who sacrificed himself to save his pet, the cutest gigant fluffy wolf (who can manage a sword, and kick your ass, all to protect his former master grave...) Give a good shake, mix and there you have: - a halfwolf gigantic humanoid,

- loyal to his family (even too much),

- protective to his 'smaller' sister and supportive of her cause,

- strong as heck

- absolutley ashtonishing in design. I will NEVER believe they didn't do HIM on purpose! *crumble to bed*

[shaelzero]

(still forking on fan art stuff, but wanted to take a break) Here's a @midluuna character i have redraw for a DTIYS challenge. <3 Yes, yes i'm still alive people <3

[shaelzero]
