My first third of #Nudivember paintings, all done in watercolor and ink and a touch of white gauche.

I just finished the finale film of Thunderbolt Fantasy and this was truly one of the best shows I've seen. Just glorious in story, characters and production. I'll never get over how it was entirely hand made, from the gorgeous puppets to the intricate sets and costumes. The antithesis to genai.
I'm currently watching season 3 of Thunderbolt Fantasy and reminded again how much I love this show. I recently got a Nendoroid of my fav character.

#Nudivember day 10 was very colorful and really fun to paint.

Once again I'm begging people not to compare politicians to invertebrates. Inverts are cool and diverse and play an important ecological role. Politicians are the lower order.

This week's daily 5 minute drawings was a very bad choice. These nautilus cups were way too intricate for 5 min and since I don't sketch them out first, you can probably already see what happened, I made the first ones way too big and had no room left by the end.

Check your ballots, Seattle! A couple years ago my signature wasn't accepted and it was easy to fix and get it counted.

I swear, the high pitched whine of electric leaf blowers is almost as bad as the deafening roar of gas powered ones. Someone please start a nonprofit to give away free rakes.

Day 9 of #nudivember is Tritonia myrakeenae, which is bringing back the 90s/00s "translucent tech" aesthetic.

⛰️山海経9: 欽原。蜂の姿をした動植物絶対殺すバード。文章から受けた第一印象がスズメバチだったのでスズメ顔にしました。オシドリを大きさの基準にするセンス独特すぎ。
🌊Shanhai jing 9: Qin-yuan. A hornet-like, duck-sized bird with a lethal sting. Any animals and plants die if the bird stings them.

I thought today's #Nudivember would be more fun, but I spent so much time on it I don't even want to look at it anymore.
