Some confusing inks that will make a lot more sense when I colour them tomorrow.

Portrait of James Ensor, painted by Henry de Groux

1907 oil portrait of James Ensor, painted by Henry se Groux. It's rendered in bold strokes and warm tones. Ensor himself is seated in an armchair in his studio, his painting supplies at hand. He is not looking at the viewer and appears to be somewhat absent. Behing him, a collection of carnival and theatrical costumes, masks, skulls, and a feathered headdress. To the right, shelves hold paintings and art tools.

"This person's actions are self-destructive, and it's unclear how any of this could benefit me, but I'm curious to see where they're going with this" is really the only mindset you can impute to your average soulslike protagonist which renders their actions intelligible, and I love that for them.

Surprised Eel Historian, PhD @greenleejw.bsky.social · 13h

It's Wednesday. You need some eels in your life, right? And some otters?

Here you go!

A scene of otters & eels, from an early 15th C. copy of Gaston Phoebus's Livre de la chasse. Eel blood is toxic to mammals, but otters don't care. They love them some eels.

Can you blame them?

A medieval painting of otters playing in a pool, chasing and catching eels and other fish. There are 10 adult otters, and what look to be 2 younger otters in a den at the base of a tree. They are all doing serious otter things: playing, eating, cavorting, eating, gamboling, eating, swimming, and eating. They are having a good time. For now.

It can't last, though. This pond seems way too small to support all of these otters, and the painting has a border around it. They can't leave, and soon they will turn on each other in a bloodbath that will make the Donner Party look like a tea time at the Rotary Club. If you check back with these otters in two weeks, I suspect you'll find only carnage.

That, though, is a problem for Future Otters. Today's otters are carefree, with spotless souls.

It took a highly sophisticated Jacquard weave to create the incredibly detailed oranges that form the fabric of of this early 1890s dress. You can almost smell the citrusy peel. There so many details to observe here, the pattern matching, the cuff trim, the drama! #V&A #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

Van Gogh is made by Talens, a Dutch company. Their cheaper line is Art Creation, which is still very nice quality for someone just startig out
