I've been playing Valheim nonstop and I had to doodle what I saw. There's something about being in kind of a purgatory land being the lone human surrounded by beasts and one night you see a cloaked figure in the distance just watching you. And that's Odin. And you're wondering why did he put me here, and why does he show up now that I finally settled down and I'm fine with existing alone?

Well, there's no answer to that. (:

Shaving Mishaps: an original oil painting 👣

A painting I made based on a photo taken of myself in the bathtub. They say beauty is pain, and that day I decided to only bring happiness to myself.

Hi! I don't usually show my original paintings here but I think Tumblr will like this one :)

If you're ✨a patron of the arts✨ I'll let you know this piece is for sale here! You can also show love reblogging this painting until it finds its forever home ❤️

hey, do you have any advice for selling traditional artwork, especialy paintings? ive been creating lots of (quite large) oil paintings for fun and to share online but im now looking into selling tham and it all seems rather intimidating. do you have any tips for how to advertise/ set the price/ for shipping?

Hii! Thanks for reaching out ^^ I'll try to be helpful:

It heavily depends on your situation. I live in Spain, where less than 1M€ is spent yearly on art (we study this in sociology of art haha).

That means that I've never managed to sell anything more expensive than original watercolours.

What I have sold is small oil paintings (max 30×30cm), I've shipped them to the USA in bubble mailers even. I include the shipping costs in the price too, it's not as noticeable as when buying any other kind of item. (The luxury of selling a luxury item, if you'll allow a pun)

I've also sold digital prints of my biggest artworks because friends and acquaintances from abroad wanted it on a custom size for their homes. That might be an interesting option for you.

The only way I've sold a big piece (I'm talking 80×60cms) was in exhibitions I've set up myself in community centers. (And abroad, with the cost of taking it there)

If you paint on canvas you could try rolling it and asking for shipping prices on the tube, it would be way cheaper than my case since I paint on wood BUT requires the buyer to set up the canvas or pay for someone to do it.

Please let me know your experiences too and what you paint, I'm always happy to meet other artists :D

With tights like that, you're an idol, Ganondorf

@hobartsaglet asked: "ganon and miku would be friends i think" and it felt like something of times long past (like 2010) so I HAD to. Also hadn't written in Japanese since basically back then so forgive the penmanship

Give me more prompts! (cursed or not)

Rewatched Agora as I'm reading a book related to it, and I am feeling immense angst feelings for Hypatia of Alexandria and all the people who, for 400 years, gave their efforts and money to gather as much knowledge in the library, just for Christians to very swiftly and violently end a peaceful and knowledgeable way of living 🥲.

Also that + a poem by Palladas, alive at the moment where he talks about that apocalypse and destruction of the Serapeum they're witnessing: (I'm translating off a book's translation don't mind me)

Specters

"Isn't it true, Greeks, that in the deep night, whilst everything sinks into the abyss, we live only in appearance, imagining that a mere dream is life? Or can we be alive when life has died?"

i NEED to make art about this, but right now I can only feel anguish and longing

The Apothecary Diaries (manga ep.60, anime ep.35) A couple of you wanted me to draw them and today I learnt I'm terrible at manga style. I'll try to adjust them to mine next time (also this is the 3rd alphabet you see me sign with 😎)

I am uncontrollably rewriting OOT in my mind and having a lot of fun with politics. Do NOT let me rant. in fact: reblog to keep me quiet (false, it'll motivate me to draw more)
