drew some more fanart of @zeragii's an inner light! this is kind of a cover redraw and kind of an illustration for the scene where the venerable druid discovers asterix has the solas anam.
i've posted a speedpaint of this drawing here: https://youtu.be/Wl6XUufMmYQ
the symbol in the background is called the serch bythol. it's a celtic symbol that represents everlasting love. (i'm not 100% sure if it's real, but multiple sources i found agreed on its design and meaning, and it's made from two triquetra knots, which are a real celtic symbol, so i'm sure enough to use it.) it usually represents love between two people, but here i wanted to use it to symbolise what i think is the key trait of asterix's solas anam - unconditional, everlasting love for others. that's what drives his loyalty, kindness, empathy and courage.
so yeah! also this is actually the first time i've drawn asterix in full colour, and i'm pretty happy with it. the flowing hair and the angle of the head gave me a lot of trouble and i had to redraw them like 3 times, but i think they came out alright. i'm also pretty proud of the lighting on this one :)

Mystic Symbols
From the motion-within-stillness of the endless knot, constructed on principles of cosmic geometry, to the stark simplicity of the cup or cauldron, the Celts wove a web of symbols which remind us that there is a deep and sometimes hidden meaning in the everyday. Whether you wear a triskele around your neck, recite stories to the music of the Harp or stand before a Celtic cross, you are on the…

It is I
The depression queen, back at it again
I love tattoos and Killian's Milah tattoo always gets me thinking about OTHER tattoos he might have
So I was thinking; he probably has one for Liam
And upon some reasearch and such I uncovered this beauty
The Triskelion, a Celtic symbol of brotherhood
So yeah Killian has this tattooed on him somewhere for his big brother <3

Kathryn Finter is a Canadian artist whose fifteenth-century materials and techniques of panel painting and manuscript illumination have inspired me. I learned a great deal while researching her illuminated letter art. I then decided to make my stepdad a Celtic Irish Quinn family name design.

Simple imbolc tradition: Get outside when the sun is at its highest point in the sky to connect with nature. Emerge from winter hibernation… maybe a hike, a nature walk, a park visit, or mindful enjoyment of your own yard- take time outdoors at the brightest part of the day to look for early signs of spring and reflect on your intentions for the coming months. Plant the seeds of your goals of personal growth in a journal, a metaphorical garden, that will eventually come to bloom as you tend to your vision step by step and day by day.
