Current mood....

An Egyptian shabti (a figurine who acted as servant for a deceased to perform the manual labour in the afterlife), on display at the Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology

🏺 AncientEgyptBluesky

A display of ancient Egyptian shabti figurines, small human-shaped burial statues made of different materials and colors, including brown, beige, and turquoise blue. The figures are arranged in rows, with carved facial features and crossed arms, some inscribed with hieroglyphs.
In the center a whimsical shabti figurine, made of light brown material with black painted hieroglyphs on its body. The figure has a rounded head, large dark eyes, and an unevenly painted large mouth, giving it a quirky and slightly unusual appearance.

First time trying to draw a child never again he looks so ugly I wanna punch him I didn’t want to post him honestly but a part of the learning process is to accept every step no matter how ugly and punchable it looks so I’m not backing down 🫩

Day11: sting.

“So, Estel stepped towards the beehive with no fear, after all, an elf can easily heal !”

The day young Estel learned he wasn’t an elf like his peers.

#Tolkientober day 8: rings

“…the jewels green that burned
in Beren's ring. These Noldor had set as eyes of serpents twined that met beneath a golden crown of flowers, that one upholds and one devours.”

A small watercolor painting of the ring of Barahir: two silver snakes with emerald eyes entwined beneath a crown of golden flowers. One has its mouth open to eat the flowers. The background is a gradient wash of indigo blue, pale around the ring and darkening into the corners of the paper

Random studies to cope with anxiety. Did it help? Not really. But here they are anyway

A page of random digital colored studies, all things at once. I just put them on one page because they were all over my files.
Here's the study of Tom Mckay, some ornaments, flowers, and old oil paintings - two by Arkhip Kuindzhi and one by George Frederic Watts

Erestor was not worried about glorfindel himself but more for his precious “sword“ cuz that’s where Erestor draws the line ☝️🤨

Not only was #elrond carrying the responsibility of middle earth on his back but also the weight of that ass and ppl wonder why he turned into a grumpy elf later on 💔
