the naked neck is a breed of domestic chicken originating from transylvania. long called the “turken” and thought to be a hybrid between a chicken and turkey, these birds are just chickens with a gene that causes overproduction of a feather-blocking hormone. despite their featherless necks, they are known for being surprisingly hardy in all kinds of environments.

knowledge long forgotten

got really into reading item descriptions on this playthrough. anyway did you know the silent princess is one of the only raw materials with a cooking effect to not explicitly list that effect in its description

Got called in for jury duty. This dude tried to take off with the princess and her jewelry. But he also helped a little girl get her lost kitty cat so this could go either way

I wanted to create a tribute to Akira Toriyama, who embarked on a grand new adventure just over a year ago today. Growing up with Dragon Ball, I don’t think I truly grasped the extent of his work until recently. Discovering how many other mangaka have been inspired by or collaborated with Toriyama really struck me. The title "sensei" feels especially fitting, given how deeply his designs have influenced the anime and gaming world we know today. While working on this piece and studying his character designs, I realized something valuable: I often find myself overthinking what I should draw, when really, the true beauty of my work comes from simply enjoying the act of creating. I wish I could tell him thank you.

Eheh. Eheh. Eheh. >:D>:D>:D (process photos below if you're curious~)

And then we finally have the finished product, words and all~

I wanted to draw Maedhros being Scary~ so I did this. >:D

(and I haven't drawn a ton of stuff in full A4 size, so this was kinda testing that out. As well as using my .005 fine liner way more~ >:D)

[tolkienreader1996]

it's thinking about Maedhros hours again

How it feels to read a really good fic and find the author has dozens more like it

Thank you @soltheinkwizard for the drawing suggestion! I still struggle with drawing Lalli, I feel like his vibe is very difficult to capture... Also, I went a bit overboard and dressed them in folk clothing, hehe.

Emil is (supposedly) wearing a Jämtland folk costume. I wanted to dress him in a Jämtland outfit since he is said to be from Östersund, but the google results for the outfit were a bit confusing. I went with one of the outfits described as "jämtlandsdräkt", someone who is more familiar with Swedish traditional costumes can correct me.

For Lalli I chose a Savitaipale costume. Since he is said to be from Saimaa without specifying a town, I went with one that is located on the shores of Saimaa (and also because I thought the vest looked nice, hehe).

Anyhoo, enough with the outfit ramblings, if you have more drawing suggestions feel free to drop them below or send an ask~
