#War paint

[shurikthereject]

I was rewatching the hobbit for the fiftieth time probably and every time they do a close up of Thorins face his eyes seem to have eyeliner or eye shadow or some kind of makeup. It could be just the lighting but this spurred me into imagining dwarrows wearing war paint. And then, unless they have a mirror, they would need help from other people to put it on so imagined this wholesome scene with Fili and Kili!

This is another rework of a portrait I did fairly recently. I'm liking this version a lot more than the previous one.

Finished my 3rd watch of the finale episode of Season 3 of ‘Wynonna Earp’ and a lot of things happened.

Nicole almost died… again. But was saved by Doc, who found her, and with a huge bloody stab wound, managed to get her to safety and then Charlie/Julian gave up his immortality as an angel to save her life.

Charlie/Julian then passed on the ring to Waverly so now she was the next Guardian of the Garden of Eden and explained to her that she now had the power to anoint someone as a chosen hero with the capability to wield the flaming swords that belong to Charlie/Julian and Juan Carlo - one of which being Peacemaker shape-shifted into a flaming sword.

Bobo requests that Waverly end him once and for all because she is the only one who he will let end him and she does after he kills now mortal Charlie/Julian. Poor dude didn’t even get to disappear into the nothingness with all the rest of the revenants when the curse ended. But I guess he chose that brutal fate the moment he became Bulshar’s Lieutenant, willingly doing his bidding by going against the good guys.

Waverly proposes to Nicole in a pre-apocalyptic fashion, choosing to give her her ring as a keepsake but WynonnaInterrptus pulled them away from the moment before Nicole had the chance to answer her and then ended up drugging her along with the rest of her team sans Waverly so she wouldn’t be able to - unbeknownst to her of course because surely if she knew she wouldn’t have taken that moment away from them no matter how much in dire straights they all are. It only takes 2 seconds to answer a proposal after all. So glad they got to redo this whole thing.

Jeremy and Robin make a protection solution that camouflages Wynonna and Waverly from Bulshar’s bee-keeper army, allowing them to get past Bulshar’s defenses so they can destroy him once and for all.

Bulshar broke the Earp curse, leaving him apparently mortal but also apparently not either since he could still shapeshift into a snake at will. Not sure what that’s about. Maybe he is half human, half snake. 🤷‍♀️ Anyway, Bulshar takes Wynonna’s blood in order to do this and then Wynonna rushes after Bulshar and Waverly follows behind her chastisizing her for her “dick move” in drugging them all. Wynonna explains that she didn’t try to drug her because they were in this together. Waverly pulls out the flaming sword that is a shape-shifted Peacemaker from the stairs and anoints Wynonna as the chosen hero of it yet again when Bulshar breaks the Earp curse. Waverly gets stuck in a force field, leaving her trapped at the entrance to the Garden just as Wynonna gets bitten by Bulshar after she kills him but Doc appears from out of nowhere to suck the venom out of her and then Waverly gets kidnapped by the Garden of Eden itself, to which Doc breaches the forcefield and follows her, leaving Wynonna behind with his pistol belt holder.

So yeah,… A LOT happened in that final episode of Season 3 but still very easy to follow. On to Season 4.

My newest piece

[chloemew]

I left this til the very last minute since the deadline is tomorrow lol, but: updated my original Death By Chocolate war paint for the impending TF2 summer update! Mainly de-cluttered it a bit by removing some squiggles, and made the wafer texture look nicer.

It might take a lil bit for the workshop submission itself to update with these changes and the new promo images, but you can still check it out here!

fun fact: we actually know comparatively little about what different Celtic/Brythonic/various European forms of "tattoos" and woad painting etc looked like! we have evidence for that kind of body art, but in terms of actual design early archaeologists took ethnographic studies of First Nations peoples in the Americas (and later the Pacific Islands and other areas) as precedent for what they might have looked like bc they deemed them to have been at comparable stages of development/to have comparable tools.

so... you shouldn't need me to say this but if someone from a First Nations community tells you that your "Celtic/Norse war paint" is appropriated from an Indigenous community, listen to them.
