Part two of the Zelda Tesselation, we have Twilight Princess Link and Midna!

Decided to go with his wolf form since it's unique to other series and I kinda plan on featuring Epona in the Ocarina of Time/Majoras Mask one lol

I'm not super great at drawing animals but I'm definitely gonna get tons of practice with this project

Which Zelda game should I do next?

Chapter 4 of my Blue and Adam stuck in a time loop trying to save Gansey fic is now up (finally). In this chapter The Gangsey has dinner at 300 fox way, Adam and The Gray Man reach an understanding.

“You still need to make sure he doesn’t run off somewhere tomorrow,” said Adam. “You need to make sure he remains inside and safe. That he won’t be harmed by anyone including you . You may know all about doing damage with guns or knives or your hands, but Cabeswater doesn’t need any of that. It is not a man, and neither am I.” 

Adam said the last sentences as Ronan would say them, with a drawn out malevolence. He did his best to stare into The Gray Man’s eyes as threateningly as when Ronan had stared down his father. 

The Gray Man did not appear outwardly chagrined, Adam hadn't really expected to intimidate a hit man. But he had to try. 

“It has no hands and eyes, and yet it has you. I know what it’s like to be the lever, to do the dirty work for something or someone else. Was it worth it? Your sacrifice. Mine never seemed to be.”

M.C. Escher on Loneliness, Creativity, and How Rachel Carson [born #OTD] Inspired His Art, with a Side of Bach:

The above article mentions that Rachel Carson owned two signed prints by M.C. Escher; it's been noted elsewhere that one was Fish and Frogs (1949), but does anyone know what the second one was?

Tetrahedra and octahedra assembled to this object... .. I love how it can be regarded as art.... but also be used as a practical item to store stuff and build lamp shields and whatever...

... one can also turn it into a tiny hanging shelf to store lightweight stuff like origami models...

I made art of the newly discovered aperiodic monotiling!!

If you don’t follow math news, this turtle-like shape is the solution to a long-standing open problem in mathematics that goes as follows: Let’s say that you want to completely cover a plane with tiles (i.e. tessellate a plane) in such a way that the tiles never create a repeating pattern (i.e. the tiling is aperiodic). What is the fewest number of tile shapes you need to do that?

For a long time, mathematicians had only been able to find a two-shape tiling that never repeated a pattern. This was called a Penrose Tiling. But just last month (March 2023) a paper came out proving that the above shape can aperiodically tile the plane by itself!*

This is really cool and has lots of mathematicians and scientists super excited, not just because it’s an elegant solution to a decades-old problem, but also because we might be able to create new materials with unusual properties using this tiling as a base for molecular crystal structures (just like scientists were able to find for the Penrose tiling)!

If you want to learn more about the discovery, the NYTimes has a really good article here, and you can read the original paper (or just look at more pretty pictures of the tiling) here!

* As long as you’re allowed to occasionally flip the tile over. I colored the flipped tiles purple in my art to emphasize them.

Baking the ingredients for the shape soup

The ingredients for this very delicious soup need to be baked before they can be used for cooking this well-made yummy shape soup.

So, I'm happy to announce I'm in the midst of digitalizing (scanning and adjusting/slightly editing png files) my isometric polyhedron drawings.

They will be transparent pngs with a hexagonal shape depicted like in the picture above.

One might use them as stickers or play around with pngs like a true tumblrina would.

(I might also make a transparent png set without any hexagonal white background.)
