Inktober day 6: BOUQUET
Handpicked flowers make the best bouquets, in my opinion.
[ID- A Polaroid picture of two goblins, Vesseek and Grizzop, standing facing one another. On the right of the photo is Vesseek. They have purple fur and are wearing a cream shirt rolled up to the elbows and a purple knitted vest. Vesseek has eight visible silver earrings and are presenting Grizzop a bouquet of blue and purple flowers, wrapped in purple paper. They are smiling widely at Grizzop and a speech bubble over their head depicts the image of a blue love heart.
On the left of the photo is Grizzop. He had light blue skin with darker blue patches covering his face and ears. He is wearing a cream long sleeve top and purple trousers. His expression is of nervous excitement and infatuation as he looks down across at Vesseek and their offered bouquet. His arms are hesitantly reaching out to take the flowers and above his head is a speech bubble depicting a purple love heart. The background is a solid cream colour with a purple pattern of multiple shapes such as triangles and squares. End ID]

PEETA'S SKETCHBOOK, 2/? // part 1
— katniss invited him to go to the meadow with her. peeta's never been there. maybe he should be a bit worried, but he's trying to grasp the idea (real, real, real) that katniss and him are okay, so he gives it a go, and takes his sketchbook with him.
after she sees one of the sketches he's made of her, katniss actually gives him the idea to draw himself at least once; he doesn't enjoy it very much.
i'm honestly so overwhelmed by all of the support this small little project has received this past week 🥺 thank you so, so much for all of the support and words of encouragement. some people even drew their own renditions of peeta's sketchbook, which baffled me 🥹🥹🥹🥹 anyway, thank you so much for everything, basically 🫶 i'll do this some more! (i'm loving to, actually)
happy holidays to those that celebrate it!!!!! and if you don't, i hope you're having/had a wonderful day!!! :)))

HERMIT A DAY MAY - DAY 18
JoeHillsTSD x Where the Sidewalk Ends
For Joe Hills I chose Where the Sidewalk Ends by Shel Silverstein!
I loved this book along with A Light in the Attic when I was a kid. It was one of my earliest exposures to poetry and since Joe is a poet himself, I thought this would suit them well!
In addition to doing a drawing for Joe, I also tried my hand at an original Joe Hills poem in the style of Silverstein. Writing poetry is pretty far outside of my usual wheelhouse, so I hope it turned out suitably Silverstein-esque! I'm proud of it regardless. :)
Here is the text of the poem:
-
JOE HILLS
A puppet is Juppet
A felt little guy
That felt is swell
And svelte
And blue as the sky.
But try as I might
I can't help but think
All that felt
Must swelt
In a Nashville July!

To learn more about Where the Sidewalk Ends and see my style references, continue below the cut!
(Happy Hermitcraft stream weekend! A fine weekend to donate to Gamer's Outreach)
Where the Sidewalk Ends is a 1970s book of poetry by Shel Silverstein. Each poem is accompanied by a whimsical ink drawing also done by Silverstein.
The poetry is fantastical and imaginative, often written from a child-like perspective. Though the poetry sometimes touches on darker themes, it does so from a thoughtful place and the collection is enjoyable for people of all ages.
Even if you aren't someone who likes poetry, I highly recommend picking up Where the Sidewalk Ends or A Light in the Attic. They are both wonderful.
Style references:
Every poem in the book has a cute drawing to accompany it. Here is the poem from the above image:
THE ACROBATS
I'll swing
By my ankles,
She'll cling
To your knees
As you hang
By your nose
From a high-up
Trapeze.
But just one thing, please,
As we float through the breeze-
Don't sneeze.
The illustrations for Where the Sidewalk Ends are whimsical with sparse, stippled shading and cartoonish characters
The lineart of these drawings is thick and a little messy but still easily readable even when the subject of the drawings is unusual (which is pretty much all of them)
