” Am I not right to weep? O my children, cursed children of a hateful mother - ”

#medea #my art #cw blood #cw mild nudity #euripides medea #greek tragedy #greek theatre #this play is Female Rage by excellence #hmm yes the blood of her sons on her face hands breasts and belly the parts of her body that her children knew the most yes indeed #im really proud of this #:)#lots of symbolism here #the red shawl is her hate while the black one is a mourning blanket #it's dwarfed by her heartbreak which enveloped her whole and bears no blood bc it's already red #her eyes are golden like Circe's who's her kinswoman #the handle of the dagger is Jason who isn't explicitly wounded by her but drove her hand (the blame of the murders actually befalling him)#<that's why it's not bloodied unlike the blade which was used to hurt #her tear washed down the blood on her cheek representing her being absorbed of her crime by both the gods and her grief #on the mural behind her is Medea enchanting the dragon while Jason steals the Golden Fleece #and above (right) is Hera and Iris and (left) Helios in his chariot #with female chorus masks lamenting Medea's crime like the chorus in the play #the pose and expression are inspired by the poster for Médée by Mucha for the Théâtre de la Renaissance starring Sarah Bernhardt #overall proud of this #i think women deserve to go a little mad and violent when they're angry. as a treat #anyway thanks Euripides for the 500bc feminism

My page for @sheikahzine; about Impaz's duty to her village, empty of people and full of memories.

[id in alt text]

#legend of zelda #loz #twilight princess #loz tp #i'm still reeling that someone sent me an ask about this one.. that they took the time to find my tumblr and tell me they liked it #it really meant a lot; thank you to anyone that stops to leave comments like that. they make me happy #but yeah! here's the usual symbolism ramble:#i thought it'd be cool to have the 'spirits' flowing one way and the cats walking through them the other way #to kinda show the difference in life inhabiting the village in the past and present #link's face is covered because impaz was just waiting for 'the hero' so his clothes are what matters; not his face #and it (hopefully) gives a surreal and intangible sense to 'the hero' she could only hope would actually show up #you can feel free to interpret the glowy blue sheikah as ghosts or just as memories of the past! i couldn't decide either way #the one on the bottom left is oot impa since she's implied to be the village founder. so i guess she would be a ghost actually?#fan art #my art #project stuff #and ahhh the book-- everyone's stuff is so beautiful!!#especially the writing. some of the fics made me really tear up and some were so fun and clever. i really love them #a lot of them captured the sheer burden of the role of the sheikah; all of the time and grief and doubt #i know i always say this stuff about every project but. the people i get to work with in these are truly so skilled every time

baby👶 drawings. these are very dear to me rn.. 2nd pic is my Nelavis with @barvin0k's Varonur 🩵 last one is a baby bosmer and snow elf, hairiest of them all. although the bosmer was meant to be my girl Barletta too lols

#tes #skyrim #my art #oc #nelavis #barletta #😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔💔 babies are so sweetum ugh my heart is crumbling rn #referenced some anne g*ddes stuff for dis #i call them snow elves instead of falmer like g*lebor would want me to #i never really get to talk about my elf anatomies at length cus i'm lazy but i sprinkled some info in the first pic #altmer society is EugenicsLand so you could only tell if your child has 'good' traits when they hit puberty #ex. height and shoulder width is something very important to them #if you don't have those traits ur pretty much a failure #other elves have it easier 🤓#idk i still might make some kinda infographic for the way i picture them but umm maybe not who knows #on snow elves and bosmer the fur is still 'confused' when they're in baby stage and is pretty much everywhere #it evens out w/ age and stays on the back; neck; sides of face the most and in places where human body hair wud be #idk ummm..and i think all elves grow their nails out unless they're very intertwined with humans in their life #ex. my snelf elisif; she has her nails trimmed to be regarded as more human i guess #nails are most important to altmer tho and might be a status symbol of some kind... they like using them in combat too #it's shameful for an altmer to not have long nails for any reason but there can be exceptions #like my el*nwen that can't physically grow nails out because of burn injury #so she has fake ones on her combat gloves #it's cute #elf nails aren't as frail as human nails and are more like an animals claws (corny) but bosmers' are the sturdiest #and their nails are curved in shape. for U know. Climbing and stuff #cause dunmer and altmer etc. have straight nails. they can hit the nail salon

i would like to imagine that after machete dies, vasco starts collecting red things. red, like the soles of machetes shoes and the hems of his cassocks, the front of his nightgowns after a heavy nosebleed. or maybe he collects pink things, like machete's nose and ears and paw pads, or things white like his fur. he never collects anything black, however. red like the hems but never black like the fabric. black is too sad. it's grief, it's unfathomable loss and it means admitting machete is actually gone, stolen from the world. but ludovica is there, and she indulges his collections in little ways on the occasion. it's a small comfort, her love for her husband in their lavender way.

.

#whh #why must you wound me like this anon #coming to my inbox and saying this to my face like it's nothing #/j #no I do love this headcanon #especially since red and pink are practically absent from Vasco's intended color scheme #red is Machete's theme color and his personal favorite in-universe #but it's also sort of a symbol of his ambition and obsession with his career which eventually got him trapped and led to his demise #so even though I believe Vasco finds him dashing in red he would also feel attached to pale pinks and whites #because if you strip Machete of his red and black work persona that's what's left #and I'd imagine moments like those are what he cherishes the most #answered #anonymous #Vaschete scenarios #Ludovica ;o;#I love her I need to draw her again >:T

drew this bc because i hate sitting thru chapel

#im aware theyre jewish #lemme cook okay #first image is symbolic of how they see themselves #not as they truly are morally #wait maybe i could do a mini analysis of my own art here #i chose their younger selves to represent here mostly because old stan looked dumb af in that devil costume #and ford also looked funny like that #and it wasnt rlly suitable for the tone of the piece i was going for #it’s representative of the first cracks forming in their teenage years #theyre facing away from each other #ford has his eyes closed as he aims upwards #while stan is grounded and intentionally uncomfortable #eyes towards ford #its the childlike beginnings of ford’s god complex and stan’s self-demonisation #gravity falls #stan pines #stanford pines #stanley pines #ford pines #yay #my art #also the triangle is supposed to somewhat look like a spotlight #but also yknow related to bill #yes its a mother mother problems lyric #because i think problems kinda fits stan LOL #wow loads of tags

#patfw #patfw fanart #patfw spoilers #rainhaze #THE NEW ISSUE. IT SURE WAS AN ISSUE HUH. I AM NORMAL. SO NORMAL IN FACT #THAT I REDREW A PANEL OF THE COMIC IN MS PAINT #i need someone to put this horrid beast down already. he needs to DIE i am not joking. euthanise him. please.#he is soooo fascinating.#i CANT get over his expression in this panel. WHAT IS WRONG WITH HIM #hes smiling .is it a genuine smile? is he smiling bc he knows how this is going to go and all he can do is laugh now?#why. why why why the smile. at first he looks shocked or surprised or terrified but THEN it turns into this playful soft grin. as if full o #nostalgia. or maybe grief. or maybe joy. he looks like he knows something we dont.#did he accept that his family is going to get wiped out (HIS FAULT HE KILLED HER HE RIPPED HER THROAT OUT) and is just happy he got to see #them one last time?#this is so weird. before killing asphodel he was so terrified of meeting them. of facing his past and acknowledging what he became.#is him smiling a symbol of him giving up? becoming part of defiance? hes not running away anymore. he doesnt have to.#jesus.#my art #wanted to make him look as fucked up as i could. i hope he looks like a corpse or perhaps a starved dog to you

Stop -- Hammer time !

#a spiritual redraw of a drawing i made in 2021 of just hammer kirby & dedede. i did post it but you're not gonna see it anymore it's hidden-#- for being ugly as sin. this time with more hammer ability-givers & adding a lil idea i had for the hammer design #i have an amv in my head about dedede's development & i wanted to include the tidbit of the hammer being loaned from ddd but since-#- it's just 3 mins long i thought of portraying it via visual shorthand instead #in-universe reason ddd probably painted his symbol on it because he was so sure he'd win in superstar ultra & somewhat rubbed it in kirby's #- face with that. & well we all know how that turned out #also i decided to make bonker's black shadow over his face be shades instead bc i like how it already looks like he's got a pompadour #like a greaser. a greasemonkey if you will #wanted to include heavy mole's projectiles but couldn't bc it'd not fit in well w/ this composition </3 so sorry my lil chainsaw roomba #my art #kirby series #kirby #king dedede #storo #bonkers #mookie

Jaster Mereel, having just decided that this brave, grubby orphan is going to be his Foundling. His name is Jango Fett.

Director of the False Last Act

#orv #omniscient reader's viewpoint #orv spoilers #han sooyoung #art i made #another of the drawings i fished out of my drafts that i completely forgot id started #if the face doesnt look like how i usually draw hsy uh. i apparently did the lineart like 4 months ago #and the way i used to draw her was WAY different #like i had to redo the face cuz i was like man this aint my girl wtf #oh yeah the sort of. watsonian reason why the title of the book shes holding is scrubbed out is bc it could either be twsa or orv i guess #the doylist reason is i couldnt decide between twsa or orv so now its neither LOL #side note but like. intellectually i know the thousand hand guan yin is like an actual thing in buddhism but my familiarity with it is #mostly from the dance move #so like as i was colouring this i was just imagining hsy like creating this pose in universe w the avatars which. one hell of an image #only two of the hands are supposed to represent like specific points in the story the rest are just. symbolic...?#the lemon candy one is obvious and the knife one is meant to be from when she stabs 49!kdj in the epilogue #also holy god im so bad at coming up with backgrounds for this kind of art #the original background i had i think i was trying to make it look like some kind of. book cover...? hence the borders #whatever it was it wasnt working #now i have no idea what its supposed to be 👍 like its giving. poorly designed tarot card

#lines that live rent free in my head tbh. although i'm not sure i communicated it as well/clearly as i'd like #he should def look a little more scary but i'm not the best at dogs aksdjfhjdsk #thoughts #my art #les mis #jean valjean #javert #<- i mean. sort of. lol #also Two footnotes here:#firstly i'm pretty sure in the original french it just stops short at 'to lick' & what is being licked is just implied by the context #so the 'intruder's hand' is all hapgood afaik. that said it's fun so i'm keeping it. fan art of hapgood translation specifically now ig #second footnote is just that i don't think he'd actually have any scars around his wrist bc the manacles are only for actually being #arrested afaik. when he was actually in toulon he'd only have the chain on his leg. but it's good symbolism so.#also the chain thing i had a whole thought process abt symbolism we being willingly/unwillingly chained willingly/unwillingly set loose #parallels & contrasts etc etc but i don't think it really ended up being very clear. but oh well. we're clearing out wips here #also was contemplating something about that thing about medieval art of saints having an open palm to represent #openness/sincerity/righteousness to the person they're facing but again not very evident

My page for @kairizine. It was such a huge honor to be part of this wonderful book with everyone, I had so much fun!

[id in alt!]

#kingdom hearts #kh #kh kairi #kh xion #kh namine #i don't really feel proud of my own stuff usually but #i really think this is the drawing i'm most proud of from this past year!! it made me think 'oh maybe i can draw' haha #i'm still kinda bad with colors but something clicked with this one. and i feel like i got the sentimental feeling i wanted!#ooh but this project's about flower symbolism so ramble incoming:#protea symbolizes resilience transformation and diversity; hollyhock means 'please remember me.'#so my general theme was finding a sense of self.#these 3 have struggled with finding their own identity; they tend to get left behind both in-universe and in general plotwise #and naminé and xion both resemble kairi and were overshadowed by her memory. but i feel like all 3 have transformed into their own people #xion and naminé have their faces covered partially by hollyhock to show their wish to be remembered for who they are-#instead of the parts that they share with someone else #and the protea bouquets show how they each held on and resiliently grew into their own person despite it all #i put a little swervy path on the hill behind kairi to give that hopeful sense of growth and moving forward. it's a little hard to see #hopefully that makes sense! i really love symbolism but i think in visuals so i'm really bad with words #but gosh working with everyone on this project was so fun. it was like impossible not to get swept up by the team's hype for this zine #i need to hunt down everybody's work and rb it #ohh and everybody's flowers are so crisply drawn it's insane!! i think if i lined all these flowers and leaves i'd die haha #fan art #my art #project stuff

wanderer

(referenced from that one shot in the 3.3 interlude quest)

#genshin impact #wanderer #scaramouche #my posts #ser draws stuff #anyway this is way too late but!!! may all wanderer wanters be wanderer havers!!!#I originally wanted to finish this before I pulled for him with my friend last Fri but I didn't manage to rush it in the end 😓#good news is!!! I won the 50/50 so I still have funds for hutao if she comes out next patch in the chronicled wish banner #okay I swear though this guy is so convenient for exploration #I put him on a team with nahida faruzan and beidou they have zero synergy and no healing but it's fine I'll just make a lot of sweet madame #ALSO I only realized he's smiling at his glowing vision in one of his idles before realising he's being watched #and hiding his face with his hat #AND IT MAKES ME SO EMOTIONAL OKAY #like that's essentially the symbol of his freedom and rebirth placed over where his heart should be #and it's his power and his power alone not something anyone else has control over #YOU KNOW #this guy istg

Hello! If you are still taking prompts, literally anything from your flower soulmate au for Zutara 👀💜🌸

Aahhh this took quite a while but I had too many thoughts and ideas for what to draw

I went ahead and made another comic and I'm just gonna ramble for a bit qlfjlqkwqk

I think I mentioned this before, but Katara didn't like her soulmark flowers for a quite some time because they remind her too much of painful memories and her inability to protect those dear to her. So for the longest time she would pick them off her face and pretend they weren't there. It wasn't til she worked things out with Zuko that she started to accept the flowers as a part of her and she didn't feel the need to pick them anymore

#zutara #zuko #katara #atla #soulmark au #my art #art requests #katara's flowers remind her of kya's death because right before she sees her mother's dead body she witnesses how hydrangeas erupted from #the crown of hakoda's head and immediately wither away and ever since then she just associates soulmark flowers with that awful memory #when she gets the flowers on her face that don't go away it's like having a constant reminder of that memory #and a constant reminder of how she wasn't able to protect not just her mother but her soulmate as well #so the flowers make her feel like she's powerless and helpless #it's like a wound that never heals!!!#the eglantine roses are a symbol for a wound to heal!!!#the way she feels about the flowers kinda sorta parallels how zuko feels about his scar #the last comic i drew for this au it was katara's scarred hands reaching for zuko's scarred face #but this time it's zuko's flowered hands reaching for the flowers on katara's face #idk i just think that's kinda neat
