His Last Miracle 2024 Ink on paper

This was a commission for @porcelainseashore, an illustration for a story of the same title, which you can read on her blog, here; it is about Qadir al-Asmai, and is delightfully horrible. I especially enjoyed working on this one - I love drawing plants, and it was just so dramatic.

A brighter variant is under the cut.

Made a lil bingo of my favorite manga I read in 2024, it's mostly not in order, but I did add the top 8 to my all time favorites list.

Good year for reading

Well, Here we have a Ron Stoppable pic, loosely based on a scene in my fanfic, "Home(s) Away from Home".  Yes, ladies and gentlemen, that is the Lotus Blade in Ron's hand. What you're seeing is what happens when he wields it while firing up his Mystical Monkey Power. Instead of randomly morphing into different forms, the blade turns black and bursts into blue flame. Of course, what I showed Ron doing with it in my fic was really nothing more than a little taste. Unfortunately, I still have yet to write a fic where he uses it again and does some more cool stuff with it.  But you have to wait for a MAJOR crisis to show up and call for that, right? Anyway, hope everyone likes this one. All in all, I'm pretty proud of how it turned out, as it looks pretty much like how I pictured it in my head. Here's hoping everyone else feels the same way about it.

The concept of good and evil as a cosmic balance of the universe as a world building thing has always wigged me out since before I could even put my finger on what.

So much of it, when improperly done (ie, good vastly outweighing the bad, evil must be eradicated entirely) is just... The thinnest veneer of a plot device that makes it so hard to develop any good sense of nuance or even real understanding. It reeks of propaganda, and self righteous at that, even when in universe it's a hard proven fact. And it's always the bad/evil being unnatural, inherently wrong, the mere existence irredeemable.

Even when there's a bit more thought put into it, something like 'there is evil in every heart, but we must learn to understand it, and accept it, so we are not overcome' still has, like, that black and white binary to it, like sure there's shades of grey, but it's still... Based around the morals of the creator? It's an entirely objective concept, this good and evil.

Even today, cultures and religions around the world can have wildly varying ideas on what are virtues and what are cardinal sins that'll get you punished forever (even the words there are from one religion that famously cannot agree within itself). In the past global values were even more extreme as people learned more about the world over thousands of years (ye olde sexism is a big example).

Yes, it might not be true of reality, but even in fiction I still find works that explore the concept of a world order that incorporates good and evil physically or spiritually just... Off. Like that one terry pratchet quite from death I am going to quote very loosely - 'grind this universe down to its very building blocks, and show me one speck of justice. One atom of mercy'. The response is 'but people - we have to believe in these things! We need to believe in something!'.

Of course people need to believe in it. We do. We need justice and mercy and love and kindness. But to make those human concepts integral to the universe itself - magic forces of good and light and purity, and evil and darkness and corruption... It always sort of falls through.

But I'd also love to play with that. I'd love to explore other ways a fantasy world could work that could be misinterpreted by its denizens and good and evil. Something that has atoms or motes or fairy dust to make up its being. Decay and repair, perhaps. Warmth and cold. Light and dark as more than the presence or absence of radiation. The dark as a radiation of its own.

To say something is evil for its mere physical existence, I find that very hard to believe.

Greeting the Moon (originally: Holdköszöntés) 2024 Acrylic on paper

I missed acrylics. At last I feel well enough to paint again (knock on wood). There are so many things I want to paint, I have an absolute stack of sketches. But first of all I finished this, after all I had already started it before I didn't feel up to it for a while.

I realise that this is a strange way to hold a dagger and not a safe way to actually use it for the intended purpose, and that it has a handle for a reason. Still, when I hold one in order to gesture with it as opposed to actively slicing/piercing something with it right at that moment, I like holding it like this, two fingers lying along the flat of the blade, making it an extension of my arm; and for this picture it felt right.
