Wanderer on the Steppe

An amateur writer, a bumbling artist, but – alas! – a skilled and experienced procrastinator. Hopelessly in love with Eastern European history, the Steppe, coyotes, lizards, and jackals. And did I mention dragons?

#cracking the vote on this poor dragon's life i see#anyways i encourage everyone who's reading this and wants to let him out to vote “part of the ecosystem”. dont let em split the vote#that option in particular purely because i already clicked it before writing all this out#the intention/purpose is secondary. the important part is that a singular option with “let him out” should win

Poznawszy się przy szklenicy, zbratali się z Zagłobą od razu. Odtąd nie widziano jednego bez drugiego. Kozak sypał złotem za dwóch, szlachcic łgał, i obu, jako niespokojnym duchom, dobrze było z sobą.

Can we talk about how these Viking dragon girl books got the modern romance novel downgrade? The originals on the left look so cool and the new ones on the right look like Disney-Pixar knockoffs.

Like seriously, why did they all get turned into Disney-Pixar heroines. The second one doesn’t look like she’s communicating psychically with dragons, she looks like she has a headache.

2024: Ukrainian modern cemetery near an old Cossacks cemetery.
Those Cossack graves are 300+ years old.

Hey !
I just want to say that I’m really happy I found your blog. I don’t always see a lot of diversity in the Tolkien fandom and it’s refreshing to see people that look like me in a fantasy setting. Your drawings are amazing and help me dream. I love your interpretation of Ulmo, especially with vitiligo. It’s beautiful and magical. I can’t wait to see what else you will come up with in 2025 !
Much love 💕
this is so heartwarming, thank you so much :’)
here’s an extra ulmo + a seahorse sketch 🤍
