i’ve seen so many sketches and drawings of fantasy deer people, but I feel like they’re always based on deer commonly found either in Europe or in the Northern United States, so here’s my OC Adimius but with features characteristic of Kenyan Gazelles, because I need more african-based fantasy art in my life

Started off my day listening to Bien’s album

Alusa Why Are You Topless? https://open.spotify.com/album/1tqKgXiDjsilZpv3aLaEGm

Its friday so what could you expect😅

Anyway the album first of all was familiar to me in so many ways. I think its because i already knew some of the songs on the list. Too easy and True love-which was featured on A Colors Show if you don’t already know .

It started of well reminding me of Bien’s prowess in music with the intro “Legend” all the way to “Anointed” which was such a good ending .I always love audio recordings incorporated in music something about the raw format always gets me .

Don’t get me started on The guitar instrumentals in Chikwere which took me back to my lover girl era which has honestly been dead for a while😅

“You know it just keeps getting better”oooooh my love Chikwereee”

anyway someone seriously needs to tell me the meaning coz a girl is out here saying things she has no ideas about

The collabs were also great i mean wakadinali😌😌

LOVED IT!!!

I specifically related to Time and Time and alone because this year yoh😩 had a chokehold on me. Just showing us how many of us are going through it .

“”Oooooooh Time””

All in all a good album
