“In this phial,' she said, 'is caught the light of Eärendil's star, set amid the waters of my fountain. It will shine still brighter when night is about you. May it be a light to you in dark places, when all other lights go out.”

I loved making these! Lord of the Rings is my happy place. I used clear quartz for the top, silk ribbon for the leaves and detailing. Inside is a piece of moonstone and distilled water to avoid any mold growth. I've got a couple if you'd like one :) Over on my KoFi

"Stop her!" cried Holmes. He had bounded across the room and had wrenched a small phial from her hand.

those pigs are adorable! You drew them so squishy and chubby and yummy! Like the whole keychain set is amazing and cute but I just love pigs so much and there's not enough cute pig stuff.

Today is your lucky day because, for some mysterious reason, I decided to draw those pigs full well even though Alex blocked a large part of them!

and if anyone's wondering about my opinion on the MHWilds hunting horn news...

I'm still on my guard about the other ~significant changes~ they've supposedly made, but until now I've been lowkey terrified they were going to move forward with Risebreak's iteration. World-like base mechanics would be a great start.

Okay listen I know this is going to sound like a bald-faced lie but after playing every Monster Hunter weapon that isn't Light Bowgun for 2 games now I unironically think the Charge Blade's actually easy to learn. It only looks stupid complex when you see the instructions just give you a shrug while the tutorial videos online take 15 minutes to explain all the mechanics, but I promise once the phials -> Shield -> Possibly Sword or Axe or both + SAED knowledge check is pure muscle memory, it's actually so much easier than something like Bow where dash juice and certain armor skills are practically a requirement to not die or Greatsword where memorizing the monster's moveset + stun resist is the minimum to survive Master Rank.

May it be an evening star

Shines down upon you

May it be when darkness falls

Your heart will be true

You walk a lonely road

Oh, how far you are from home

Shirts here!

Life tip: Using your phone's flashlight becomes much more interesting when you imagine you're using the phial of Galadriel.

Galadriel

For this series of chara-designs i only do lineart and flat colors so i can’t do justice to her hair (i’ll have to make full illustrations to paint her perfect hair adequately)

Sometimes it's interesting to be a firm agnostic but also to feel a strong attraction to the concept of the sacred and/or mystical. I'm not sure attraction is even the right word—but art that leans into a sense of sanctity or mysticism is intensely appealing to me in a very fundamental way, especially when coupled with a sense of grandeur or glory. And ritual, I love a good religious ritual.

My family's religious background is Mormon, Catholic, and Greek Orthodox, so it's not really surprising. But it's like, despite the standard religious damage, and despite being deeply skeptical of anything smacking of the supernatural, I love entering the headspace of characters with a strong religious sensibility, I love visual art caught up in the sacred, I love fiction that can give you a sense of the mystical in ritual, I love when I'm expected to believe there's something sanctified in a building or relic or rock (real or not), I love visual or narrative art that can truly evoke a sense of the divine.

At the same time, I don't believe it. Nor do I wholly disbelieve it, I'm just like ... eh, idk, this is not in the realm of knowable information. But damn do I feel the appeal of religious conviction.

(This whole train of thought got started because I was thinking about how much I love playing clerics, lol. Anyway)
