He does alright.

Roman Catholic pussy cat 🙏🏽

In 1944 a kitten named George (short for General Electric) was saved from drowning by a U.S. Navy crew member. George was then photographed and given a liberty card and detailed health record. Source.

Worry not, dear hero.

You'll be remembered forever.

I just want to put out there that don’t post my OC’S any where and all these OC’S I did are sisters and are medics for the Grand Army of the Republic! Which is from Star Wars The Clone Wars!

[phlegmykins]

I illustrated an incredible fic (with a mammoth of a word count, wow,) by @aeshna-uk for @endlessbigbang . (It is such a captivating read, god please check it out it’s going to be one of your favourites: https://archiveofourown.org/works/49688578/chapters/125415979 ) It features Wolf!Hob, which should be nuff said, but also an adventure with Jo Constantine on detective work and Dream as most annoying client #1.

Here’s my art for the first few chapters!!! I’m very proud of these and hope I could do the tense atmosphere and amazing writing some justice:

I did, like, 18 out of 27 of these back in 2019. I probably will do another set for another OC.

The Many Versions of Beulah Medina

27 drawing prompts to round out your OC

Because these are fun to make ok

Draw Your OC…

1. Full detail, in their undies, as a body reference point 

2. As a silhouette that is unique and recognizable 

3. Showing a dramatic emotion. Think outside of the box! Instead of happy/sad/mad, go for something like pride/love/guilt  

4. In a setting from the past 

5. In a highly futuristic setting

6. In a different style than your own

7. As a complete opposite of themselves

8. In a way that captures their personality/role by using gesture and body language

9. As a different species (fantasy/animal/ect.)

10. In their job/work setting

11. Super simplified, but still recognizable 

12. In the world of your favorite videogame

13. In the world of your favorite tv show  

14. In the world of your favorite movie (catching a trend?)

15. During the worst time in their life

16. During the best time of their life

17. Interacting with your other oc(s)

18. Interacting with you

19. As a realistic portrait

20. As a hero

21. As a villain

22. Giving up

23. Doing something they shouldn’t

24. Getting caught doing something, do they try to get out of it? How?

25. Doing something that is unique to them

26. As they just found out they’re going to have a baby! How do they react?

27. With your non dominant hand (try to capture their essence!)

Tear Down Your Idols (You Were Never One of Mine)

Kel draws a serious big piece of OC art for the first time in 1000 years.

Darner buddy, you've so much wrong with you.

I almost forgot what a hassle it is to digitize traditional art lol

(Ink & pencil on watercolour paper, postcard size)

Aeshna juncea (?)

Idk. It might also be an unusually bluish A. cyanea, but it was by a bog and it was significantly more blue than the cyaneas I’m used to, so.

A fun fact about dragonflies is that if I ever write a portal fantasy, they can be expected to pass freely between the worlds. Trying to photograph them isn’t what gave me the idea, but it sure didn’t put me off of it either...

A fun fact about this particular dragonfly is that we spent a good while dancing around each other while I tried to get a decent picture. And failed, obviously, but he did give me a lovely pose!

This image is inspired from the only contemporary portrait of Joan of Arc...

...and from descriptions of her appearance that brought out this beautiful recreation of her.

Joan of Arc has been one of my favorite saints since I was a child. I first read about her in my English textbook, which called her The Sixteen-Year-Old General, highlighting her miraculous victory at the Siege of Orléans. She has since become an inspiration for feminine grace and divine courage.

Saint Joan of Arc 1412-1431 Feast day: May 30 Patronage: France, martyrs; captives; military personnel; people ridiculed for their piety; prisoners; soldiers

Joan of Arc, national heroine of France, was born in 1412 during the Hundred Years War. At age 12 she began receiving visions of Saint Michael, as well as other angels and saints, telling her to drive out the English. Possessing remarkable mental and physical courage, Joan led the French army to victory over the British at Orleans when she was 18. Several additional victories led to Charles VII’s coronation. Eventually burned at the stake, she held up a cross calling continually upon the name of Jesus. A retrial declared her innocent in 1456 making her a martyr. Joan of Arc was canonized 500 years later.

Before we left this morning we were treated to the sight of a Barn Owl hunting in the field at the end of the garden. Eventually, it perched in a tree.

Our first stop this morning was Kelling Heath in search of Dartford Warbler. This specialised habitat is never prolific for birds but has a specialised population that cannot be seen elsewhere. We located a suitable area and waited for the birds to show themselves, but without luck. A conversation with local told us that they had bred here but seem to have moved on in the last couple of weeks.

Our next stop was for refreshment at the Old Reading room in Kelling. This rather unique combination of a second-hand bookshop, art gallery and tea shop made a pleasant break.

Driving West along the coast we came to the small reserve and bird observatory at Walsey Hills. There was little bird life in the scrub, but we did find 4 Little Grebes and a Green Sandpiper on the small lake.

Continuing west we arrived at the Norfolk Wildlife Trust at Cley Marshes.

A Peregrine Falcon flushed the ducks and wading birds as we approached the marsh. From the hides, we saw Little Ringed Plover and Green Sandpiper along with more common waders.

Back at our cottage, we found a Hummingbird Hawkmoth resting on the cottage wall.
