yes! my favorites are The Tiger and the unnamed werewolf fridge poem
for context these are the poems
also I almost forgot but the r/ambien Gives Us The Sleep post takes a completely serious third place in my favorite poems list:
and COMING IN HOT at NUMBER FOUR on my list, it’s Fragment 147! an accidental poem created when the original parchment containing a text by Sappho was used to stop a wine jug more than 2,000 years ago- eventually the wine dissolved most of the parchment, leaving just a few words and BOY do they prove that the Universe has a sense of irony.
“3 of Swords: Goddess of Rot” ⬆️ heartbreak, separation, sadness, loss ⬇️healing, forgiveness, recovery
Thought this was a good card for Malenia since so much of her story is about tragedy and loss- each time her flower blooms, she dies a bit more (but once she is finished, she can perhaps finally be free).
look, when a boss ass valkyrie looking lady impales your character on her wicked sword that is also a prosthetic limb enough times, you have no choice but to stan and make fan art of her :)
this was one of those pieces that just burned itself into the back of my brain until i drew it all out. Idk if i’ll do a series of elden ring tarot cards or if this is stand alone (absolutely not promises, my partner suggested a wider video games one which might hold my attention longer, we shall see). The fact that she’s associated with butterflies helps a lot too (also one of my favorite design tropes which is “a thing made of a swarm of other things, esp insects, birds or rats”).
idk why lately all the fan art i want to do is elden ring, i think it’s partially b/c i play with my brother a lot (he’s already beaten it and LOVES the soulsborne games) and he lovingly relates all the lore to me.
this is perhaps my favorite way to obtain lore, tbh, like just have someone else tell me a story about it (it’s different to me than having to find it/read it in game yourself). Also even though I wanted to draw it (obviously), I knew it would *delight* him so there’s that too. That’s the best part of fan art really, like yes the art’s partially for me but it’s also for someone else (knowing that someone else will be excited about it helps a lot)
this was a print from last month (feb) for patrons and the coloring page version is available *this* month to all patrons (march) if you’re interested! plus you get to see more stuff like my longer process videos, sketches and wips!
prints will be available in my shop | please do not repost others in this series: The Magician
This is basically what my physical therapist had me do for my back problems last year and it helped with the pain so much! Also walk for at least thirty minutes a day, even if it’s just in small chunks throughout the day.
