Woman and horse by Félix Thiollier, 1899.
* * * *
“It was not the privileged and the fortunate who took in the Jews in France. It was the marginal and damaged, which should remind us that there are real limits to what evil and misfortune can accomplish. If you take away the gift of reading, you create the gift of listening. If you bomb a city, you leave behind death and destruction. But you create a community of remote misses. If you take away a mother or a father, you cause suffering and despair. But one time in ten, out of that despair rises as indomitable force. You see the giant and the shepherd in the Valley of Elah and your eye is drawn to the man with sword and shield and the glittering armor. But so much of what is beautiful and valuable in the world comes from the shepherd, who has more strength and purpose than we ever imagine.”
― Malcolm Gladwell, David and Goliath: Underdogs, Misfits, and the Art of Battling Giants

GT July- Bird
Technically late for my second day of gt July as it is past midnight for me BUT here is the second prompt from this year's gtjuly prompt list from @gianttol
Originally I was going for something silly like a boss battle-like illustration of fighting a giant bird or drawing a borrower OC of mine who likes to ride crows BUT in the end I somehow ended up with fanart for the movie epic, and honestly, I can't be mad about that

GIANT WOMAN
A Blue Oni with Red Oni tendencies, She's taken up residence in the mid-floors of the dungeon. Monsters are plentiful but not overwhelming, so she can eat to her heart's (and stomach's) content. Eventually she hopes to reach the bottom of the dungeon, in hopes to be rewarded the Golden Country. With a kingdom to call her own, it would mean having a stable place for her race to rebuild their numbers with food abound.
As with the first: Background/template created by Evans-Endeavors, check it out here

The second picture I made of my Android Apocalypse AU. Miguel thinks Miles is dead, mirroring the scene from The Iron Giant since Miguel goes apeshit after this. (Miles is fine, just hurt and knocked out.)

With Eman Esfandi being cast as the Live Action Ezra Bridger, it got me thinking.
In my mind Ezra is with the Chiss Ascendancy in their war against the Grysks, and Ezra’s most iconic force ability is beast taming so my brain naturally concluded:
Csillan War-Mount Creature!
So yeah here’s Ezra’s pet/war mount, a gigantic 4-eyed stoat combined with a snow leopard/ sabertooth cat/ polar bear. A Snow Stoat-Leopard… A Stoatpard.
Until a canon word appears her name will be Sh’uaks’ha, aka ‘White’ in Cheunh according to me. (Kit Sh’uaks’ha - top right)
