I was watching The Crow (the original one) while working on a painting... and I couldn't shake the idea that it would probably be less cheesy if it were an anime. So I doodled it. Hehe. I can't be the only one who thinks this, right??

In “The Two Towers”, brobbits Frodo and Sam discuss the length of their elven rope; Sam estimates it to be about “thirty ells, more or less”.
I love this word because 1) I don’t know shit about textiles, so LotR is the only place I’ve seen it, and 2) shows how extra Tolkien-sensei is with his deets

Poem 3 from “A hundred old verses from old Japan” by Hito-Maru.
Written over 1300 years ago by a J-nobleman, its understated melancholy remains beautiful and relatable across centuries… I find the translation clunkier than the OG, but I still appreciate the effort!

The #FaeOfTheDay (yeah, it’s officially a thing! Hehe)
2.5 hours. This is my first time drawing in my big girl watercolor book instead of my sketchbook. Finally got up the nerve haha. How’d I do? I’m getting the hang of #watercolor again.

Consider Kurosawa’s “Seven Samurai” and Tolkien’s “Fellowship of the Ring”. Both:
-released in 1954
-capture an island nation’s ethos
-depict a band facing overwhelming odds
-massively influential
Maybe world leaders finna speedrun WW3 for overdue renaissance of survivors-turned-seminal artists

I have been learning a lot about fantasy illustration, my rendering style is in flux.
It feels weird seeing my art shift so late in the game of being an illustrator... but I THINK it's a good shift?
