monochrome ink drawing of a person and an okapi sitting at the edge of the ocean. They are resting with a rusted, barnacled broadsword on the sand beside them.

Show love to the Okapis, show love to the D.R.Congo 🇨🇩

I'm glad you think so, it was just intended to be a warmup drawing so everything from start to finish was just not planned out at all. I guess it ended up tickling the brain in the right way :P

A couple people irl even asked me if it was a fantastical animal even, cause they'd never heard of okapis. I was so surprised haha! (so happy you like it 💞)

That sucks, I've definitely been there. I hope you find a good pita source then!

6480 ☜ @6480.bsky.social · 1d

the issue is that every place that has a scanner uses the scanner company's automated calibration (contrasting, white balance, etc) which actually destroys drawing quality, ive tried lmao

6480 ☜ @6480.bsky.social · 1d

if you have a pan and an hour, its really doable to make it yourself! Only have to buy flour + olive oil + yeast and you can have infinite pita haha. (I make it at home all the time since bread is pricy here)

I'm hoping to avoid bots. I think I have a good starting point to talk to some people.

i keep spending money buying the wrong materials i better get at least one sale on these things

I bought fake gold to try and make gold foil artwork, but the fake gold foil is actually slightly stretchy so I can't use it as a replacement cus of the fine details 😭 Call that fool's gold...

They have light display with live traditional Thai orchestra show at the natural history museum every winter called "Night at the Museum". It's almost time now! November or December :)
