It’s been a few months since Empires s2 came to an end and I wanted to make a piece reflecting on the time we spent with these characters 🥰✨ When season 1 ended I did a series of paintings set to the End Poem, and so I decided to revisit the concept once again, making sure to switch up which line corresponded to which person. This series means a lot to me—in fact, this is one of two big Empires s2 projects I’ve been working on! There’s another one still in the works :D
Wore my Night Vale bone chandelier shirt on campus today and the guy at the bookstore counter recognized it shoutout that dude
The Heron of Dismal Bay
(Oil pastel on paper). An older piece, but this is one of my favorites solely because the lighting is very specific to a particular place on a particular trail.
Six of Pentacles: Giving and generosity/giving up too much
My piece for @malevolenttarotzine! I’m so happy with the result!! This was one of the biggest projects I’ve ever been a part of, thank you to everyone who helped make it possible!
Guess who made a QSMP AU about Martyn being on the Island?!
This is just some barfing I did while dealing with Carpal Tunnel, so if you see some of them and think, "Why is the lineart so bad here?" That's why. I developed Carpal Tunnel and refused to stop and/or remove my brace.
Anyway, I still have no idea how Martyn would have gotten to the island within the logic on the island, like I'm sure Doc sent him there, but I have no idea if he would have being already there or was sent on a boat by the island or what. I do know that they will probably contact him because of his experience dealing with Watchers as someone who seemed to break out of their grasp, and the Federation thinks what they have on their hand is a Watcher since, you know, tricked a bunch of people into a secluded area and forcing to kill each other for its entrainment is all very Watcher-y behavior.
What they didn't know is that he seems close to the notorious Federation hater and anarchist Philza, like, sure, they look similar, but you can't blame them! All white men look the same!
Found poem based on the first two chapters of The Woman Warrior by Maxine Hong Kingston, with a bit of decoration in the background.
