#bastar art

[bsybeedesign]

Bastar art holds profound cultural significance, rooted in the rich traditions and heritage of the Bastar region in Chhattisgarh, India. This tribal art form, characterized by its intricate craftsmanship and vibrant colors, reflects the indigenous beliefs, rituals, and way of life of the local tribes, such as the Maria, Muria, and Dhurwa.

My player, who is romancing Strahd, asked if it was a threat when I showed this sketch to them. And honestly, I don't know.

FNAE WIP/Sketch Dump!

I haven’t posted in a while but I have been drawing! I’m thinking that if I post some of these, I might be more inclined to want to draw or finish some of these lol. Check under the cut for the sake of not making a horribly long post lol

My First FNAE Sketches:

The experimental pages where I was still figuring out how to draw everyone. I just look at these pages and giggle at how much I struggled with March and Gugu’s mask lol. I loved to draw Fushi the most though (still do, I need to draw them more…)

(I also just realized I haven’t drawn Parona in a while. I should remedy that lol)

Misc. First Time Drawings:

Figuring out how to draw all versions of Tonari; A Baron Springroll for fun while I messed around with Watercolors; From a random Messar doodle to a full art page (my hopes is to have Zeno sign that for me some day) I have some Kai and Hairo art around there but I couldn’t find it.. huh; And my first time drawing Eko… this continues to be my favorite drawing of her that I’ve done lol, despite how sad she is ;w;

I was really starting to hit my groove with the characters here! I hated them at the time but I feel so warm seeing how nice Watercolor Bon is and how cool Messar looks! And how sad Eko looks ∠( . ; 」∠)＿

Oh there’s a picture limit:

Here take a silly Fushi for now! I sent this on discord once but never posted it bc it was kinda spoilery

Translation: Fushi pulled a power-up out of his ass and revived everyone (including Kahaku) “Come back to life motherfuckers, I’m shredded as fuck!!!” (Based on Jojo art by tanuki.boy99 on Instagram!)

A beleza da mulher e sua fragilidade

A mulher, em sua sutileza, carrega uma beleza que não precisa se explicar.

Ela é presença que ecoa — mesmo em silêncio.

Cada marca é uma história calada,

cada cicatriz, um traço de pincel no corpo do tempo.

Ela é pintura em carne viva.

Mulher, com sua fragilidade, transforma a dor em arte.

É artista do invisível —

escreve com lágrimas, canta com medo, dança mesmo ferida.

Essa é sua força:

converter o trauma em beleza,

o cansaço em poesia.

Do toque dela nascem canções que embalam o mundo,

versos que salvam,

quadros que gritam,

leis que tentam conter o horror que ela conhece desde o berço.

Porque ser mulher é ser esquecida e lembrada ao mesmo tempo:

no poema e no processo.

Na arte e no artigo de lei.

Ela inspira sonatas, romances, manifestos e esculturas.

Mas também precisa do Código Penal pra não morrer.

Porque o mundo a venera em tela —

mas a fere na rua.

Ser mulher é dor:

a gente nasce dela, e muitas vezes morre com ela por dentro.

Cada mulher carrega uma ferida ancestral,

e se for mãe, carrega outras que não são suas —

dores herdadas, dores futuras.

Em dias como hoje, quando a solidão me aperta o peito

e o mundo parece grande demais para o que sou,

ser mulher pesa.

Pesa como tinta úmida numa tela imensa,

como palavra engasgada num poema inacabado.

E ser mulher jovem dói ainda mais,

porque é viver sob o peso do não saber:

o medo de falhar,

de não bastar,

de não se bastar sozinha.

Hoje sinto medo.

E saudade.

E uma vontade funda de me esconder dentro de uma canção,

ou de um quadro antigo onde tudo ainda era inteiro.

Mas sigo.

Como verso que não rima,

como lei que ainda não protege,

como arte que não precisa ser compreendida pra ser sentida.

Chef: (mirando críticamente mientras ajusta los calibradores) "Tom, parece que necesitamos un poco más de... volumen. Este platillo requiere un toque más de 'gordura' para que la textura sea perfecta."

Tom: (riendo y dándose una palmada en la barriga) "¿Más gordito, dices? ¡Pensé que mi régimen de donas ya me estaba poniendo a punto!"

Chef: "No, no, no, querido Tom. Necesitamos ese equilibrio perfecto. Tu barriga es como la masa de un buen pan, debe ser esponjosa pero no demasiado inflada. Vamos, un par de semanas más de tu dieta de helados y frituras debería bastar."

Tom: (con una sonrisa burlona) "Entonces, ¿debería pedir un abastecimiento de pizzas y pasteles?"

Chef: "Exacto. Piensa en ello como en una misión culinaria. Tu sacrificio culinario será la estrella de mi próximo plato. Pero, recuerda, calidad sobre cantidad. Necesitamos grasa, pero de la buena."

Tom: "Bueno, chef, supongo que es por una buena causa. ¡Prepararé mi cuerpo para ser el mejor ingrediente de tu arte!"

Chef: (guiñando un ojo mientras anota en su libreta) "Eso es el espíritu, Tom. Vamos a hacer historia gastronómica... o al menos, una receta memorable."

Still some of my favourite Prints left in my Online Store, for all the Half Bad Fans

[bastart13]

Just random, I’ve been following you for about 5(?) years? I think? (COVID has my time all messed up still) and I must confess that for those years I’ve always seen your username as

Bass (the fish) tart. Like a fish’s dessert, but not a dessert made of fish, and

Bastar-rt, not in an offensive way I promise, just when reading your username aloud (for me) I begin pronouncing it as the swear and have to correct myself.

Gorg art, continue being an inspiration in the community

I kind of love Bass-Tart. But, yeah, pronouncing it as the swear is pretty much accurate XD It is something I have long since accepted as having not thought out

[wingedecho]

New Narrator?!

okay for those of you following me (I appreciate you guys sm) who know of my main Narrator, don't worry I'm keeping Henry, this is just more of a side project because I love villain narrators

That being said, this is Cross. A highly intelligent, highly egotistical BASTAR-

I mean uh evil man

His backstory/origin will be posted eventually when I can be bothered to write it all up but in the meantime I'll give you a short rundown (hey future me here it's a lot longer than intended haha oops) of who exactly he is and what his deal is, if you can't be bothered to read all of this rambling that I'm typing I am so sorry I am just kind of brainrotting a lot right now and I was supposed to post this yesterday and I forgot

Alrighty so:

Cross is unfortunately a good actor. He's cunning, sly, manipulative and overall he does not care what anyone thinks of him so long as he gets what he wants. However, with simple acting, he can conceal all of this and come off as the sweetest person you've ever met, despite the many ways he's thinking of to kill you while he tells you just how 'great' he thinks you are. Stanley sees him as what he pretends he is. He's unaware of the shit he's in.

Cross prefers people to not know his name, getting Stanley to call him X to keep his mysterious act up. Cross doesn't have an office to write his stories, despite having one backstage for other uses. He has a theatre. A huge, huge theatre where he demonstrates his acting to the shadowy figures that were once people he totally did not murder in a totally not extremely brutal way

His scripts go into shows, and the shows become the story. Whatever Cross does in the theatre, is however things are formed in the parable

He has some levels of necromancy, and also has the ability to create spikes made of citrine. When he's in a calm state the citrine is clear. When angered, the citrine appears cracked.

Another important thing is the shadow over his eye. Its not an art style, it's a design choice. He's hiding something under there, but I'm not revealing that just yet, and the only person who knows doesn't know how bad it is because there's one thing I haven't told them (you know who you are)

Anywho, yeah! Hope this wasn't too much to read, and I hope I didn't bore you, but thank you for reading if you made it to the bottom and I hope you guys like him!

P.S he is 7'2 okay bYE

Quick edit: I forgot to mention, he has black gloves with gold claws on them I just really can't draw hands hel, he also has big black boots (just putting this here because I saw a reblog of someone saying they wanted to draw him and TYSM GENUINELY)

I'm glad I was accurate, and making you swoon was a plus ☺️

Out of curiosity, if you feel like it, I wanna know what you think best fits me. I know you don't know much about Dungeons and Dragons, so I'll give you some descriptions from DNDBeyond plus a wacky ass description from me cause I'm feeling funny.

-Barbarian: "A fierce warrior who can enter a battle rage" Aka a muscle mommy with slight anger issues

-Bard: "An inspiring magician whose power echoes the music of creation." Aka a person who is always getting themselves into trouble, yet by some miracle always makes it out alive. P.S. keep them away from Dragons...

-Cleric: "A priestly champion who weilds divine magic in service of a higher power" Aka the guy that's like "do you have time to talk about out lord and savior Jesus Christ", but it's not Jesus Christ just some deadbeat god of theirs.

-Druid: "A priest of the old faith, weilding the powers of nature and adopting animal forms, " Aka your friendly neighborhood down to earth hippie

-Fighter: "A master of martial combat, skilled with a variety of weapons and armor" Aka the basic bitch in Dnd. People like to pick them cause they have a variety of skills.

-Monk: "A master of martial arts, harnessing the power of the body in pursuit of physical and spiritual perfection." Aka Aang in Avatar the last airbender

-Paladin: "A holy warrior bound to a sacred oath." Aka the loyal one with the fanciest armor.

-Ranger: "A warrior who combats threats on the edges of civilization" Aka a pretty badass loner with a bow

-Rouge: "A scoundrel who uses stealth and trickery to overcome obstacles and enemies" Aka sneaky sneaky stabby stabby

-Sorcerer: "A spellcaster who draws on inherent magic from a gift or bloodline" Aka the lucky bastared that didn't have to train to get their magic

-Warlock: "A wielder of magic that is derived from a bargain with an extraplanar entity." Aka *insert Mike Tyson saying "sign the contract big boy"*

-🪓

At first I was like "definitely a fighter" but then i got to the part where you called them a basic bitch, so i changed my mind 😭

Honestly, i feel like you're a mix of:

druid (10%), cause you seem like a friendly neighbourhood who would turn into an animal if you could 😭

fighter (30%), "master of martial combat, skilled with a variety of weapons and armor" literally you

rouge (15%), i feel like you could be sneaky-stabby, but only if you're pushed to the limit, not your default setting

monk (30%), "a master of martial arts, harnessing the power of the body in pursuit of physical and spiritual perfection" again, literally you

paladin (15%), "a holy warrior bound to a sacred oath" i feel like that also could be your thing, like a higher purpose you'd die for or something (protecting your so (excl bugs))

How did I do? Somewhat accurate, I hope

[fucking-brains-out]

Soo I couldnt help myself and im going to countinue this bc is really interesting

Where we left it? oh right, Damian just observe the fae? meta? that was surrounded by snakes while Danny observe a teeneager with a weirdest smell of ectoplasm, they just observed eachother akwardly but before Damian could say anything the biggest snake (Vesper) he has ever seen tried to attack him, take note in tried because the person that was in ropes put themselfs between them and proceed to scold the GIGANT SNAKE, Damian just watched this person in such awe that he decided that they were worthy pretty

Danny just apologize to Damian, he didnt mind honestly and even if the big snake had attack him he wouldnt hurt it, Danny is just impresed by them and proced to intruduce themselfs and that was the blooming of a beutifull friendship yeah right since that day they started seeing eachother, Damian would bring many things to Danny for example: food made by Alfred (specially his cookies) or would bring books to Danny and they would do other things like Damian would play/take care of Danny snakes with him, and Danny would play with his hair or if Damian has time or has the day off he would stay until night (if Snake castle ever has time change-) and Danny would tell Damian all about the stars or space surrounded by snakes. Vesper was jealouse at first but grow font of Damian bc he takes care of Danny and my Ancients does that poor kid needs it One particular day Damian bring his art supplies and started painting everything of Snake castle but in particular he painted Danny, in many ways he showed Danny his drawing because he was curious abt what he was doing, and was so surprised and heartwarming by the beuty of the drawings that he started crying (blame hormones wtv) Damian was panicking but Danny stopped him saying something like "I never realize that someone would think so highly of me" Damian would simply watch Danny and thinking if he should kill someone but before that he comforts Danny maybe like "You are an exceptional person and if anyone doesnt apreciate him then they are not worthy of you" And they look like loverbirds The snakes meanwhile are like Snake 1: Should we do smt? Vesper: Nah let them realize their feelings for eachother in their time The "time" himslef: JUST KISS ALREDY Anyways back to the Batfamily They started noticing that Damian was acting.... weird nothing bad but weird like, the other day he returned to the manor and his hair was styled in a braid with flowers or that everytime he didnt have patrol or was free he would go somewhere and return with messier (in terms of clothes and hair) with flowers or something like hmm idk A SNAKE were did he get it??? (Danny gifted him one of his snakes, in particular a white one that would always trangle itself to Damian) but most importantly he always returned with an happy expresion They would get in the bottom of this (bc they are noisy bastars /j)

I hope I didnt bored you with this rant but i couldnt get over my head- now somethings i like to share: I think that Vesper can communicate with Danny, how? idk maybe CW did something Is Damian going to learn abt Ellie? maybe but perhaps in the future Wich of the Batfamily would discover Damian secret? YOU DECIDE :D

You all know what time it is ( and body dysmorphia is mentioned a few times just thought I would let you know!)

Snake empress Danny

Ok let’s go, So you all know the drill Danny has to booket it out of amity ( GIW, Bad Fenton) and just for a bit more angst everyone who he loves ( Sam, Tucker, jazz) got caught up in the nasty burger explosion and the GIW hit Dani and as a last minute decision Danny has to grow her in himself and because he has the organs for baby incubation ( trans! Danny let’s go! ) so now we have a heavily traumatized teen who is going to be a teen mom and just loss his whole support system and everything he’s ever known yeah we going angsty today anyway so when Danny gets to the ghost zone he a immediately goes to clockwork to help him so after Danny gets healed up a bit and calm down the best he can right now and

now let’s move the pov for a sec so clockwork can’t really take care of Danny and he needs to fine someone who can that’s when he remembers the little pocket dimension that is a little bit hard to go to if your not looking for it so clockwork brings Danny there and on a cliff top there is a abandoned castle that is overgrown and has trees all around it and a healthy population of snakes that equally watch over the place and keeping outsiders OUT and do not tolerate people who are not a part of the …. Group, pack? Wtf do you call a group of snakes { ok so I just looked up what a group of snakes is called and apparently it’s called a den, pit or nest so I’ll be using that information} den and are very picky about who is in the nest and who isn’t but surprisingly the little danger noodles decide that Danny’s friend shaped and now his part of the nest ( also before I forget to mention there is a big ass snake that is the main protection for the others and the castle itself ) and he’s mostly doing things around with the snakes wrapped limply around his neck and shoulders or his arm and or legs they just like hanging around Danny for the most part

And for the JL side of this well you remember that this place is its own little pocket dimension well it is connected to the JL universe and it sorta feels like your in a Fea area not uncomfortable just different, it has a passage in Gotham City to a overgrown manhole cover so somehow Damien finds this manhole in the garden of Wayne manner and Bruce grounded ( aka benched ) him and Alfred is shopping and nobody’s home so it’s just him and he decides to go into the manhole cover it leeds down to a large tunnel so big it is a surprise nobody has found it yet so Damian walks down it for about 2 to 4 minutes before he sees another cover and has to use a lot of force to open it and as he climbs out he sees that it was overgrown to the point that the vines were wiring the thing shut and as Damien looks around he dust himself off he sees that he is in a large forest almost to large if this place was really Gotham than this would have been cut down years before it got like this so he walks around and than he gets to a lagoon it looks like no pollution got here as well that’s when he sees them a person the person has long white hair that looks to be in some kind of braid with silver chains and their wearing what seem like a bunch of white fabric at first glance but is you really look it seems to be a dress but that’s not what really brings his attention to this person it is the snake that are wrapped limply around them one black one that hangs off their shoulders and looks some what of a necklace and they are holding what seems to be a large black marble bowl ( the bowl is for some of the aquatic plants some birds ended up eating most of the aquatic plant and there are almost none left so he’s getting some from the lagoon) 

And that’s all for the moment. Now on to the details of this bitch!

I’m thinking Danny looks a little bit like this

The reason he wears this is because it’s easier to walk around in ( not to mention the moment the rest of the den realized he was with fetus Dani ( or Eleanor I like that name better for her it gives her a bit of her own personality instead of just Danny clone) the big snake who were going to call Vesper ( you get it ) started to carry him around and while sleeping he would wrap around him to keep him warm ok got a bit off track

And for his hair I’m thinking he lets it grow out a bit and the little danger noodles like to bring him bits and pieces of things they think he might like so he ends up with this

But instead of gold I’m thinking silver

Also just some pics of what I think the castle will look like in some places

Anyway that’s all from me byeeee

Endie and Bastar, two OCs I'm messing around with that I might do something with. Remains to be seen.

The 3D Factor: Blending Dhokra with Technology

In a world growing increasingly fast, where mass production and automation dominate marketplaces, one question demands deeper thought: Can tradition survive the algorithm?

Among India’s most evocative forms of artistic expression, Dhokra handicrafts stand as both a symbol of tribal legacy and a reflection of human patience. This centuries-old metal casting technique, rooted in India’s lost-wax heritage, has existed for over 4,000 years—long before design patents or hashtags came into being.

But today, an extraordinary shift is happening. What happens when this tribal tradition meets 3D technology? Can something born in the fires of earth and clay find new life in digital code?

Dhokra: Rooted in Ritual, Alive with Soul First seen in the form of the famed ‘Dancing Girl’ of Mohenjo-daro, the lost-wax casting technique in India has travelled across millennia. From the tribal communities of Bastar, Odisha, Bankura, and Jharkhand, this art form—passed down orally and through calloused fingers—uses natural clay, beeswax, rice husk, and recycled brass to shape stories into metal.

Each piece of Dhokra art is one-of-a-kind. It is never mass-produced, never identical. The imperfections speak of human presence—of memory, touch, and mythology. Unlike plastic moulds or factory lines, these artefacts breathe.

But what happens when this breathing art faces the demand of scalability, the pressure of global e-commerce, and the trend of digital precision?

The Technological Leap: Blending Tradition with 3D

1. 3D Modelling for Design Precision Modern artisans and design institutions are now employing 3D modelling software like Blender to sketch and simulate Dhokra designs before they are physically cast. This ensures minimal material wastage and allows for greater control over design intricacy—especially when creating customised Dhokra for corporate gifting or branded collaborations.

Could this mean Dhokra may now be customised to brand stories? Imagine a company launching a limited edition of Dhokra sculptures symbolising their values, each one digitally envisioned and then handmade using traditional casting.

2. 3D Printing Prototypes with Tribal Aesthetics In experimental studios and academic labs, 3D printers are now used to create resin-based prototypes using the same motifs traditionally drawn by hand. These are not final pieces—but guides. Tools to help artisans refine complex forms before committing to metal.

Is this cheating tradition? Or is it preserving it with foresight? The tribal wisdom remains untouched, but the tools evolve.

3. Photogrammetry & Digital Archiving With support from institutions like IIT Hyderabad, efforts are underway to digitally archive endangered Dhokra forms using 3D scanning. This not only protects designs for future generations but also creates opportunities to exhibit tribal artefacts in virtual galleries across the globe.

Watch this real-life initiative: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GEnaazvezf4

Could virtual galleries become the new haat bazaars of the digital age?

Could brands sponsor virtual exhibitions that allow Dhokra artisans to reach global audiences?

Why Should Corporate India Pay Attention? For forward-thinking brands, blending Dhokra with technology is more than a design innovation—it’s a powerful CSR and brand storytelling opportunity. In a landscape craving authenticity, a handcrafted object created with tribal wisdom and tech precision becomes a symbol of purpose.

Eco-ethics & ESG alignment: Dhokra artisans use sustainable materials like scrap brass and riverbed clay—ideal for brands aligning with the green economy and ethical sourcing.

Emotional marketing through cultural storytelling: Consumers increasingly respond to origin-rich products. Dhokra handicrafts in Indian context hold emotional power, especially when merged with 3D-visual backstories.

Preservation meets progress: By supporting 3D archives, photogrammetry, and digital prototypes, businesses play a role in craft preservation through innovation.

Can your company help a centuries-old artisan find a global audience through your brand campaign?

Could your CSR fund the next phase of digitising tribal legacy?

Where Design Thinking Meets Craft Legacy Some may argue that technology corrupts the soul of handicraft. But speak to an artisan who’s used a CNC guide to perfect a motif or watched their work reach Germany through a 360-degree product video, and you’ll hear this instead:

“We are not replacing tradition. We are preparing it for the future.”

Final Reflection: A Future Forged Together The fusion of Dhokra and 3D technology is not about speed. It’s about survival. It’s about co-creating new meaning—where clay meets code, beeswax meets Blender, and tribal knowledge meets global aspirations.

For Dhokra artisans, the fire still burns. But now, so does the screen. Together, they forge a future where craft doesn’t just survive—it evolves.

The question is: Will your brand be part of this evolution? Or will it miss a living opportunity to co-create timeless legacy through innovation?
