i finished five broken blades

#and.....six of crows has yet to be topped #it's funny how every time a pair of unlikely people have to be paired up for a dangerous mission it's alwayssss compared to soc #and the comparison just never holds up #i am so baffled that this is an adult book bc the writing style was incredibly juvenile. very repetitive. a lot of telling not showing #six of crows had better character work By Far. i really felt who each of those characters were. and i felt how they bonded over time #in this book it was like. there's a bubbly quirky girl and the author's attempts at making her so made me cringe #it was very heavy handed #i could see what she wanted each character to be like but the execution was just not it #there was a part halfway through after they all finally met up where something happened and they had to work together to save someone #and in each character's pov it was just like 'they'd killed and lied for each other' 'they were family beyond blood'#and i was like ??? that's it???? idk i never felt them growing closer to each other. it's like the author relied more on telling us rather #than showing it #and then the romance..... don't get me started on the romance it was so poorly done almost like insta-love???#there was just no time for the feelings to develop it happened so quickly #i wasn't impressed at all #and like. i guess my main problem is too much showing not enough telling #'i can't trust her' 'i can't trust him' 'no one around me can be trusted'#it was so repetitive like okay i get it!!! but i wanted to Feel it. i wanted to feel the messiness and ugliness of this distrust #'we killed and bled for one another'👍🆗#when they all met with each other halfway through i got excited like yessss it's going to be ugly and nasty now i need them to be Messy #esp since this is an adult book i was really looking forward to new levels of debauchery but it was So tame and vanilla????#sure they killed people but nothing was even remotely close to the level of when kaz plucked out that guy's eyeball :(#that was vicious. we all still remember that. i expected that in this book but no....#can't believe six of crows is ya and it's superior to this supposedly adult book #let me list the good things though. it ws a super fast read at 500 pages #and i had no problem distinguishing the 6 povs from each other #and the climax was thrilling my heart pounded all throughout

HOT, SINGLE, UNSTUDIED SPONGES. 3000 NAUTICAL MILES AWAY. Come sail the distance and read Tiger Tiger!

#tiger tiger #ludovica bonnaire #remy bonnaire #jamis arlesi #This comic has been on my radar for *years* and I only recently - finally - sat down to read it. And by god is it amazing.#I don't want to spoil anything! But if you like amazing art and character writing *and* high seas adventure? READ TIGER TIGER.#If you asked my who my favourite character is I could not tell you. I truly like them all!!!#I even like the sleezeball who has less charm than a dead rat. He's *my* darling little rat man. With every disease.#A special shout out to my lad (he is the lad of all time) Jamis Arlesi.#Who - upon walking into frame makes me go 'Sir! Is your bosom too heavy? Do you need a new bra? My hands are free on Thursdays!'#And Ludo! My lass! I love her dearly! Every page made me more fond of her.#Book smart and uses it in very good ways! Naive enough to think it is all she needs! Learns a lot and stays kind through the horrors!#I could go on and on but...you...the person reading this...you *are* going to read it - aren't you?#So I'd hate to spoil you any more! Go read Tiger Tiger! Do it! For the sea sponges!#Rumour has it they are also freshly divorced. It was messy. Sea sponge needs a distraction. That could be you. Distracting that sponge.#You wont know until you click that link and start reading!

Making a chapan茶盘/tea serving board from JinsiNanmu金丝楠木 (old wood with a satin sheen texture, Phoebe zhennan S. Lee) by 随缘根艺

#china #crafts #craftsmanship #art #chapan are usually placed on the table #not the type of tray or board that can be hold up in hands #because they are very heavy #tea cups and teapots and tea pets can be placed on the chapan #chinese teaculture

One of my favorite headcanons is that Leo grew up watching telenovelas with Splinter.

It just works so well - his bits of Spanish that he spouts randomly, his showy way of apologizing, and, of course, his love for dramatic betrayals all point to this being a very real possibility.

Plus, it’s very cute to imagine a tiny Leo at his father’s side as they both gasp in shock when the show’s eighth plot twist in just as many episodes happens.

#rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rottmnt leo #rottmnt splinter #rise leo #rise splinter #rottmnt headcanons #listen - Leo is there for the camp #if a show’s gonna be super broody and stuff he’s not about it he wants the DRAMA.#very similar reasons why he loves Jupiter Jim Lou Jitsu and magicians #glam rock too!#the camp of it all #the way these things can take even heavy topics and make it more lighthearted with the way they go about them #the way each of these puts importance on putting on a show #idk I think it’s very interesting #but yeah - Leo would totally love telenovelas #did you see him apologizing to Todd??? prime telenovela actress apology right there #the long fluttery lashes the hand to the chest the shiny eyes - like it’s all there #someone said that one of the creators said the telenovelas may be canon?#if so then another tick in the box for ‘oh my god Leo is an amazingly well developed character’

WOAH can we see the skull if thats ok?? that sounds so cool (also only 20€????)

Also since it's hollow you can stick led lights in there for this sort of effect (pardon the mushy quality):

#like I said it's a real Asian water buffalo skull #these are carved by hand in Indonesia mostly in Bali I believe #to my understanding skull carving is a long standing tradition over there but most pieces like this seem to be made for & sold to tourists #I got this one second (third?) hand and I suspect that perhaps the seller didn't know what it was and what they're worth #and yet they graciously agreed to go through the trouble of packaging it carefully and shipping it to the other side of the country #which couldn't have been very easy since it's a big and heavy skull #answered #apricottheapricat #vulture culture #animal death #cw animal death #taxidermy #cw taxidermy

#kylux #kylo ren #armitage hux #still learning their faces... augh...#didnt draw their gloves simply bc i missed shading hands i apologise orz #one thing i am struggling with but find very interesting #is how drawing kylo it seems he is made of all these harsh dark lines #with very high contrast #vs hux who has much less contrast and looks weird w heavy dark lines #so it's hard to bridge the gap stylistically between the two of them #hopefully i will figure it out...#BUT it is a very enticing difference #my art #also since im late to the actual game of making kylux art i will probably be retreading sooo much ground #🫡 nothing i can do about it... bc i want to retread classics....

Linktober day twelve- favourite game

Skyward sword! My favourite game forever :)) The duets with Fi are by far my favourite gameplay aspect and recurring scenes in the game.

The music is The Ballad of the Goddess with Link's harp accompaniment. I played through on three different instruments like fifteen times, and checked every note on ocarina before I carved it. So. It's very accurate. Close ups of the music +my reference because yes

Also I replaced the treble clef with the triforce

:)

#HIGHLY recommend you tap for quality on this one #linktober #Loz #Zelda #sksw #skyward sword #Fi #Smoll art #dirogjdifjdkfjkfjf #thank you to my friends in DMs who were patient with my fifteen panic attacks (/not literal) trying to carve this #this was very hard and I wanted to make it look good. so I struggled with being heavy handed in areas #this is the level of detail where if my hands started shaking I would have to stop and sleep and come back to it the next day #but I took breaks and stuff so I'm good. kind of. this took six hours for carving- plus like three hours the day before framing the glass #I've never framed glass with this technique so it was slow going #I love music so much #like halfway through doing the music lines (lines not the notes) I realised I had unconsciously started doing deep breathing exercises lol #I just stopped breathing for the notes fidjfjdjfndjf I care a lot hehe #I'm rambling now but that's ok. art <3 #invisibly tagging:#sera Peggy Emmie and uni

Partial hand bank for Elias from my files. Some flats and some finished/lit ones, so good stuff with light differences!

#solivaga #my art #pu art #artists on tumblr #hands #art reference #art resources #drawing resources #like a weird fusion of milt kahl and sailor moon hands #he needs to go full Other Mother hands maybe #this is only a small portion of the sheet I have saved for myself to re-use and reference #but thought I'd share it since I was adding some new ones #it sucks not being able to use my own hands as reference #my little rat stubs don't do the trick #also please if you do anything like a comic that's very art heavy #don't be afraid of making and using character banks #it's your own art it's not cheating to compile pieces for reuse or reference #save yourself a ton of time and trouble and just have it around just-incase

omg where'd you get your top it looks like it would fall apart after one cycle in the wash

#i need you to imagine my very specific vision for yakumo piggybacking on eiden ok:#eiden is such a playful lil scamp so idk one day he wants to test his strength by carrying yakumo #yakumo's always carrying passed-out-eiden after marathon sex sessions so. how heavy can a vertical noodle possibly be #but yakumo's scared he's too heavy or that he'll be too awkwardly shaped (whatever that means) for eiden to carry #so while eiden is crouched down in front of yakumo beckoning him to climb aboard #yakumo stiffly positions himself . but . his feet barely leave the ground #and their bodies aren't touching much.. as in #yaku's knees are gripping at eiden's midsection instead of scooching up close #because he doesn't want his crotch right up against eiden's back LOL #and he's very lightly touching eiden's shoulders with his hands #but since yakumo's body is so distant/unevenly perched.. it actually makes it tougher for eiden to carry him #so eiden has to coax yakumo into getting MUCH CLOSER against his body #'come on . right up against my back. it'll make it easier!!'#'no need to be shy 😏😙'#'that's right! now put your arms around my neck. there we go!!'#after yakumo loosens up and loses rock posture... he indeed becomes easy to carry #so eiden gets to strut around proudly with a yakumo on his back for a bit #this whole thing was inspired by me wanting to see oli bridal carry yakumo LOL #it would be sooooooo easy . oli is sooo strong and yakumo sooo flimsy. just scoop him up. kiss his forehead #tbh he could lift yakumo one handed but the bridal carry is more comfortable and oli is Considerate #then when i had oli AND eiden carrying yaku in my head.. i started imagining the others #something about.... yakumo being tossed around by bottoms #fills me with unprecedented amounts of delight #GARU!! SPIKE HIM ONTO THE GROUND LIKE THE ALMONDBALL #yakuoli #yakuei #yakumond #yakugaru #yakukaru

Inspired by Way Down We Go by @xiaq 🪄

Draco and Harry found a way to snuggle together while remaining as clueless, platonic best bros and it's a bit hilarious and very sweet, so I had to draw it :)

I am currently being oppressed by the Libby holds queue for Translation State >:( have this Breq speedpaint from back when I finished Ancillary Sword

#blood cw #breq #imperial radch #ancillary sword #not for al #laurelnose art #this moment was so so sexy of breq #kneeling in the slums with a diplomat’s blood on her hands. silently saying FUCK YOU to every Radchaai in the hallway #it was also a particularly vivid image in a series which is very concept-heavy and relatively visuals-light #a+++
