One more for the road. Keep laughing at the Adidas shaw meme and clown Hornet. What more fun than to combine the two? Now there are clowns shoes.

@teamcherry.bsky.social Seth can still exit the arena on the left side (he did for me between the brick and bush overhang). Check the floor collision, when he did for me my spikes acted like curling stones sliding around without ceasing momentum.

Having one of those pessimistic days, but then I think back on a video I saw the other day on a "failed artist".
You only fail if you allow it. Quitting to rest and getting back at it is not failing, that's just your inner caveman perseverance hunting.
Be your own champion! 💪

If this is what you can do without them, keep going!! That was such an intense experience I am now invested!

"What Binds Us"

Doing some iconography with Hornet, probably my favorite style of art. Acrylics on MDF board.

A meditation on symbolism.

#silksong #hkart #fanart #painting #hollowknight

Silk song protagonist hung upside down via spider silk in the pose of "the hanged man", casting silk storm/binding that glows in the dark. She is all wrapped in healing silk. Atop her head is a halo, facing downwards.
Each of her hands gestures a mudra; wealth, protection, wisdom, life saver or food depending on perspective.
Hornets head also glows in the dark, for lore reasons.

Close to the finish line!!
For being my first cosplay, I think I did great. 🥰

Some dollarstore blankets, pool noodles, plastic diner sheets and mesh... and here's Hornet taking shape!
Actually very happy with how it came out. Still need to attach her horns proper. 🥰

I'm suspecting I'm allergic to latex, so I have to cancel plans on Hollyhock #cosplay.

No biggie. It's doesn't bug me. Not when I am becoming the bug.

Finally I got around to finishing my Midna #fanart!
I had to wait a bit for my item trade to recieve my #prismacolor pencils, but I'm so happy. 🥰

I love #thrifting trinkets, especially if it inspires me to make more art!

I love that runestone replica particularly.

Aight, Hollyhock #bojack #cosplay almost ready. Just need to finish the paintwork some more and style the mane.
Might rework the hoodie to a proper sweater. If I have the time.

My friend invited me to #cosplay at #NärCon.
I'm upcycling one of those cursed horse masks to become Hollyhock from #Bojack.
This is my first cosplay, but I've worn this once, as a bet on a grocery run to Coop.

Spent yesterday and today doing this #art piece.

Here's Siu and Deon about to #fantasy journey out on dragonfly.

I'm waiting for my shipment of prismacolor pencils to blend highlights better. I'm almost out of white.

Two humanoid dinosaurs about to ride a dragon with insect wings. The central one holding a flute and waving playfully while the one off to the side agreeable nods in playful gest back.

Ah, so that's what it was about. Glad you are okay!

Some pages are missing but there is a nearly complete 3 parter with green arrow. I had to carefully fold them out, they are dated 1978 and very damaged. Some panels are gorgeous, despite the age.

My new light board came padded with old crumpled superhero #comics featuring #batman and #superman.
I'm gonna try to salvage these and study their linework!
I recognized the grid style as Kirbys classic layout, but know nothing else about these.

Some nights I think about you a lot. Times' arrow marches on, as cruel as it might be. But you are forever at the core of my passion.

If living in your dream, and giving it life for the rest of mine is what sets me free, I'll gladly take that vow.

Made this #animation for my mom as a surprise.

Siu will be appearing in my #comic later on.
