Lamashtu

 Ye still alive and making shit. I blame Elden Ring <3 <3 <3

Lamashtu from Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night

Spring, Ranunculus

 

Kind of unrelated and already (feeling like sort of) old news

But the greater key moment/feeling here is... Such stir, inside. It has been a while, has it not...? Antsy, restless, bloom

春よ、夢うつつ

 

Edit 4/30/22:

Upgraded boot disk to a 1Tb SSD, swapped in a new power source, and upgraded to liquid cooling with Ceres's help. Fun little excursion spread over two weekends, never seen Weijia this animated or talkative 😂 It was good to see Brownie and Big Eyes again, too

Good stuff to mark Anameleth's 6th birthday (birth month, rather), all in all.

Bicyclops

 

With the goal of being able to guess its name backwards based on picture, kinda like Who's That Pokemon but for Godville. I dun wanna be the very best like no one ever was, I just...want to be where I thought I'd been in my head all along 😭

Candis

Aaah it's been a while since I'd been tickled like this by a simple video. Since the first time I saw Ranunculus's subbed lyrics? Coupled with the knowledge now that I can paint this! I can study the shit outta this! *__*

How do some people get to be this fucking artsy and this fucking inspirational? OTZ

Photo study

 

First time achieving this level of finish, photo study or not 😁 As WoT says, still, it is a beginning.

2016 vs 2021

For a lighting exercise I meant to do way back when that completely, obviously, and utterly died in the womb 🤣 I most certainly didn't think I'd ever be able to do clean line art ever until...a month ago? Damn. I wonder where I'll be by the end of this class...and can't wait to get there 🙂

Running towards you with all I have

...Been a while since I've been this excited over a Chinese pop song o_o But this one pokes at a specific tender point at the moment, huh.

Is it the experience of loneliness that teaches one to grow up

Is it the experience of separation that elucidates longing

We say friendship withstands distance across the world

But at this moment I just want to be with you, ah

If the world is complicated, pretentious, noisy

I'd exhaust my whole being running towards you, ah

Even if it is so far away and beyond, ah

I will for sure be there, ah

If you resort to sputtering stupid, drunken, lies

I'd exhaust my entire being running towards you, ah

Even if it is far away and beyond, ah

I will for sure make it there, ah

You still have me, ah, ooh

You have me, ah, ooh

 

(repeat)

 

If all that remains of you are old wounds, struggles, armor

I'd exhaust my entire being running towards you, ah

No matter how insignificant one may be, ah

Nobody deserves lonely isolation, ah

You still have me, ah, ooh

You still have me, ah, ooh

You have me, ah, ooh

You have me, ah, ooh

 

EDIT:
Oh, turns out they updated the CC in the youtube vid and their translation is...overall better. Very smartly taking the spirit of the original Chinese and creating their own sentence structure as opposed to (me trying to, at least) preserve the original...Chinese flavor and format? Very interesting. Shows how much I still have to go in translation skills...
