He gets one half hour of supervised outside time. He won't admit it, but he appreciates being able to see the stars.

Song info below
S'i' fosse foco, ardere' il mondo,
s'i' fosse vento, lo tempestarei,
s'i' fosse acqua, i' l'annegherei,
s'i' fosse Dio, mandereil'en profondo.
s'i' fosse papa, sare' allor giocondo,
ché tutti cristïani imbrigherei
s'i' fosse 'mperator, sa' che farei?
A tutti mozzarei lo capo a tondo.
S'i' fosse morte, andarei da mio padre,
s'i' fosse vita, fuggirei da lui:
similemente farìa da mi' madre.
S'i' fosse Cecco, com'i' sono e fui,
torrei le donne giovani e leggiadre:
e vecchie e laide lasserei altrui.
"S'i fosse foco" performed by Fabrizio De André
(S'i' fosse foco, arderei 'l mondo,
s'i' fosse vento, lo tempesterei,
s'i' fosse acqua, i' l'annegherei,
s'i' fosse Dio, mandereil'en profondo.)
This poem was originally written by Cecco Angiolieri, and it is meant to be improper and silly, going against the vaules of the time (at least this is what I found out after 5 min of research haha, and it reminded me of a certain triangle).

So, the lightning strike of traditional art finally hit me again
Honestly I think I’m finally starting to get the hang of watercolor! Like, at first I wasn’t sure about the process once I started doing the watercolor, but I managed to trust the process, and wow!

Pages separately + Close ups

Also the process that I had to trust💔 (it turned out amazing in the end but I was worried)
He’s a paragon of mental health, guys.

“au” in which the axolotl used to be super evil for so long that it had no other choice but to be good
Cool colour shading... Why it so... Ugh...
I think a lot of us know that The Axolotl is likely a reference to an Aztec God (Xolotl, god of - among other things - fire, twins, misfortune, and death) but did you know Xolotl had a twin brother himself? Quetzalcoatl, the Feathered Serpent. God of knowledge, creativity, and learning.
A scapegoat twin blamed for everything that goes wrong in life, who is connected to fire, and possibly even represents an old practice of sacrificing one twin's life for the other's: And a highly regarded twin who's domain is knowledge and is favored over his brother to the point of sometimes even having the epithet of "Precious Twin"...
Now where have I heard that before?
When you accidentally stumble across a f***ed up ship.
My bf sent me a link to these knowing full well my Gravity Falls obsessed self would do something like this.
I take no responsibility.
Hmmm... I've kinda been radio silent on drawings for a bit, huh? Have a few semi-realistic GF creatures that may or may not be related to that DnD project I mentioned before. 👀
The Dungeons Dungeons and More Dungeons Project
Since people seemed somewhat interested in my hints of a DnD project, it might finally be time to go public with this.
Info under the cut:
Summer break is coming up, and I'll have plenty of off time from school (how much exactly depends on whether or not any of my summer job applications are accepted) so since I'll probably be stuck at home for quite a lot of that, I wanted to take on a bigger art project.
I really like DnD, even if I've had some trouble getting my friends to play it with me, and remembering there is a DnD spinoff in Gravity Falls (DDnD) I got what was maybe a bit of an odd idea to combine the two:
I want to make my own fanmade DnD supplement with creatures from Gravity Falls.
Sort of a short DDnmD Monster Manual?
However, I'm not that familiar with the more complex mechanics of the game. Art and layout I can take care of, and I've got plenty of ideas for stats and descriptions, but I might need some help from people more experienced with the character creation and DMing to look over what I come up with, help me balance stuff, and come up with descriptions and stats. I was thinking of maybe making a discord server for that, but that's still up in the air.
If you might be interested in helping me out with technical details, let me know somehow (Comment or chat function might be easiest?). If not, I'll be taking this project on by myself. Though, fair warning, getting to the finished product will take a good while. I'm still in the early stages.
Thank you for reading! ^^
The "Axolotl" and his twin
This last week has not been super for my mental health, so redrew one of my first gf drawings to cheer myself up. Original under the cut.
Nice to see what almost one year of progress does. I'm especially happy with how my lighting has improved. Art style sure has changed a lot... ^^
