---Viewing Music - "Please Don't Be" by Hazlett--- "May the Skies Speak forth Your Will, Oh Spirit, As we Seekers of Divine Knowledge encapsulate Our essence in Sacred Ice, Forsaking All and Pursuing None But the Great Eye of Enlightenment" - Sacred Prayer of the Seekers
A WIP illustration for my long-term project (The Halfway Series), loosely based on the G1 Bionicle series. This was my first time doing a full illustration with background details and framing, but it turned out better than expected. For now, it's just the flats/tone blocking, but I plan to add colour and rendering at some point.
(Click here for a full view of the illustration)
More about this Illustration:
I always liked the idea of Nokama representing the moon. The moon and water are interconnected, with the tides directly influenced by the moon's gravity. Its presence in the sky is calming, persistent, gentle, and comforting. It shifts and changes through its phases yet still remains present.
Not so the stars. Stars in the night sky are constantly in flux and change. New ones light up the night sky while old ones collapse into oblivion and die. The Earth rotates and shifts with the seasons, the planets change their alignments, and what was once visible becomes hidden and vice versa. The stars appear cold and distant, their nature indifferent and inconsistent.
Wouldn't one whose sole purpose was to pursue them slowly become like them?
The Man Nolokai (Nuju) is a prestigious religious astronomer ("Seeker") who had spent his life in solitude searching for answers written in the stars. His fear of making uninformed and inaccurate choices in life, which would ultimately cause harm to those closest to him, causes him to become obsessively consumed by his work. His dedication to predicting and preventing fatal disasters leads him to radical self-isolation and physical harm; however, he's so blinded by his pursuit of knowledge that he fails to see how his own inaction is causing the destruction he is so desperately trying to prevent. (Bleeding eyes and falling stars)
The Woman
Noeli (Nokama) is a Blessed Vessel, High Priestess, and accomplished religious alchemist who has always been a guiding, stable, emotional support for Nolokai, even amidst his chronic self-isolating tendencies (she represents the moon, dressed in a sea of stars).
However, the pain and grief Nolo has caused her from his emotional abandonment and self-destruction in the name of knowledge will become too much for Noeli to bear, and she will eventually fade from his life. (Her see-through arms, star tears, and inability to touch him.) She reaches down to him, melting the cage of ice he surrounds himself in once more. The question is: Will he return to reality -- return to her -- before it's too late?

i think it's so so so great that beating someone up can actually injure and scar you. like from a symbolic perspective. every act of violence leaves a mark on you, chipping away at you with each blow until you're nothing but hard muscle and sharp edges. the hurt you visit on others shapes you in its image.

Underwater Ice Bubbles
This phenomenon takes place as decomposing plants on the bottom of lakes emit methane gas and form bubbles while the lake begins to freeze.

Can I please talk about my weird little Warg from Lonely Light? My salt crusted Ironborn bastard whose definitely a Targaryen. Gwyndon "Gwyn" Pyke, my selkie boy.
We've started playing a little ASOIAF tabletop game set during the Blackfyre Rebellions (around 90 years before Game of Thrones). Our travelling party consists of two Targaryen bastards from the opposite side of Westeros and the Hedge Knight holding them for ransom (or so we thought).

Lmao I'd love to see a fic where batman like. Doesn't talk at all. He just 'hn' and 'hrm's his way through the story like a Minecraft villager. All the bat kids understand him perfectly.
I actually know people irl who can do this, and I've done it myself during bad migraines, it's practically a second language, so I know it's totally possible to have full conversations between two speakers XD!
It'd be another degree of separation between Brucie Wayne, the ditzy, breathy playboy and batman, who used up all his vocal spoons for the day and now communicates solely through unintelligible grunts and sharp hand gestures when he doesn't need to talk to strangers.
Unfortunately, the best way to learn grunt speak is the same way most languages are learned, and there's no written word (outside of emoji, of course): immersion. And the justice league are no longer considered strangers.
This leads to:
Hal: which way do we go, spooky? Where's the tracker pointing?
B: *grunt*
Hal: what?
B: *insistent grunt*
Hal:..... Can we point?
B: *dour look* *slowly raises arm to point left down the street* *sharp, insistent grunt*
Hal, dryly: don't strain yourself.

Damian: greyson. I am calling because father has had an injury and is bed bound for tonight, however Alfred is downstairs and the rest are still on patrol. I am still in the early stages of learning father's intonations. Please translate.
Nightwing, eldest, regularly called for exactly this reason by just about everyone Bruce has ever spoken with since he was a kid, ranging from arkham guards to jl members: *heavy sigh* put him on.
Bruce: hrng...
Nightwing: He's telling you to close the curtains and keep the noise down, he's got a headache.
Damian, over the sound of footsteps and fabric rustling: it truly is just like another language.
N: nah, it's a lot of probability. I've known b for years, I can guess pretty well. There's a lot we can say. For example, that grunt actually carried a lot more meaning, I just trimmed it down.
Damian: truly?
N: yup! If I had to be pedantic, it actually meant 'I am in quite a lot of discomfort, the cause of which is my head, and I am struggling to manage it on my own. Please aid in my cause, my darling sons whom I love dearly -'
Damian: *muffled noise through the phone*
N: that'll be him telling us to shut up. But you can see why I asked you to close the curtains.
Damian: fascinating. I shall take this under advisement.
-
B, exhausted after a long day of board meetings as Brucie: *moody silence*
Gordon: Batman, how's it going?
B: *glower* *drawn out grunt*
Gordon: that bad, huh?
-
Supes, during a briefing: I believe it would be best if we attacked from the north, we've enough flying members to crest the mountains and ambush then that way - Batman?
B: *quiet grumble, with pointer fingers moving in semicircles*
Supes: ah, I see. You're right, we'd be too visible if the sun rose behind them*turns to see the other members standing behind him* what?
Flash, bowing at the waist, palms together over his head: teach me your ways, oh mighty bat-speaker.
