Prompt 197

“Guys look, I got us pet rocks!” 

“That’s nice- Danny, why are the rocks moving?” 

“Ectoplasm. Obviously. They eat bad emotions, isn’t that cool?!” 

“They aren’t going to get that big though, right? I mean, we’re moving to the countryside but still.”

“I mean, they shouldn’t? Dang, maybe I should have asked Dora more questions…”

"I think it says something about my audience that they're willing to watch me mine out two million stone while reading about a giant whale [...] They're having fun" - Joe hills

as someone who regularly falls asleep to Joe mining and reading that made me laugh so hard and I'm not entirely sure why

Here's a piece directly inspired by a really beautiful shot from this documentary:

Stone forest but they’re sleeping whales instead of rock formations.

prompts are: “in the future” and “on a… cruise?”

more from that Draw Your Rise OC Challenge by @angellustrates

River is not having a great time in these.

The first prompt gave the option for either the bad or good future, but since River was already an adult and I don’t see her changing much in appearance in the good future, I drew something from the bad future :( She would not do well in an apocalypse. She ends up getting stuck in her ghost-like form.

And on that “cruise,” well, she’s uncomfortable in a dress and overstimulated with the bright light and lots of people and smell of sunscreen and has no clue what’s going on. The reason she’s able to sort of keep it together is she remembers Warren. (Before this, the two of them had been searching for Hypno who’d been kidnapped.)

Also, the bad future one got me thinking about the movie, and I decided to try giving a design for a krangified River a try. (Don’t worry, it’s not canon to her story.) Under the keep reading in case anyone doesn’t want to see it.

Work by a living artist from Qaqortoq in South Greenland: Aka Høegh. She arranged a symposium for stone artists from all over Scandinavia, and this is her own contribution. All the stone sculptures are placed throughout the town...

Imagine watching an adaptation of The Yellow Wallpaper where the husband was proven to be correct in his treatment of the narrator and you will begin to understand my problems with Poor Things (2023) as an adaptation (and, frankly, as a film).

Monodon monoceros, better known as the narwhal, is a species of toothed whale in the family Monodontidae and the only living member of the genus monodon, and is endemic to the frigid waters of the far northern atlantic, the far northern pacific, and the arctic oceans. They live in pods of 5 to 20 individuals, with individuals frequently switching between groups depending on the time of year (in calving season nursery pods are formed of primarily females and there young, during such time adolescents join with bull males to form there own pods), in some cases several pods may come together for short periods of time forming aggregations up to 1,000 whales. Narwhals are some of the deepest swimming mammals, regularly diving upwards of 4,900ft (1,500ms) in search of prey such as cod, squid, redfish, wolffish, capelin, cuttlefish, shrimp, skates, and various types of flatfish. Narwhals are themselves preyed upon by polar bears, orcas, Greenland sharks, and humans. Reaching some 10 to 18ft (3 to 5.5ms) in body length, and 1,760 to 3,530lbs (800 to 1.600kgs) in weight, with males being slightly larger than females, narwhals sport a thick cylindrical body and a mottled pigmentation, with blackish-brown markings over a white background. Instead of a dorsal fin, it possesses a shallow dorsal ridge, and female narwhals sport tail flukes that sweep-back on the front edges, whilst those of males curve inwards. The narwhals most notable feature is the single long spiral tusk which projects from the left side of the upper jaw of males and can get up to 10ft (3m) long. Additionally some females may grow tusks and some males may grow two tusks. These tusks seem to have many uses such as: stunning fish, attracting mates, fencing with rivals, sensing temperature and salinity, breaking sea ice, and communication with one another. Breeding occurs from march to may, after a 15 month pregnancy a mother narwhal will give birth to a single calf which remains by there mothers side for 2 to 3 years. Under ideal conditions a narwhal will reach sexual maturity at 6 to 8 years of age and may live upwards of 80.
