I have been telling people again and again that Tumblr is better than ever and it's recovered from the apocalypse. But tell me what you guys think! I wanna know if the room is in agreement. There's tea and cakes for everyone in the room of discourse

[lothlenan]

it's late, I don't know what I'm doing. Something about R Mutt but S. Kibidi. Someone make it canon

Took a few liberties with this one, and not entirely happy with it... hm. I will soak in it for now and see how it feels!

----- Why paint Ai Hoshino as Empress Sissi?

Empress Elisabeth had a fascinating history before her murder. She was from royalty, yes, but she was raised in a very country way. She was obsessed with her beauty and her health, but she was also kind -- many of the common people loved her. However, despite how beloved she was, she was stabbed by an anarchist and died in 1898. So she, like Ai, was put on a pedestal and had to work so very hard to keep up appearances. She was beloved. But, because of this high standing, she was a target for the unhappy and unsettled ... and ultimately suffered death for it. Based on the portrait of Empress Sissi by Winterhalter (1865).

So. I realize that all the other platforms are shoving sf video in our faces and so we BEND TO THEIR WILL.. and I thought. You know what? I’m not gonna deny Tumblr that cookie. Here you go Tumblr. Have a cookie! I was going to call it scrummy kind of like scrumptious, but why does ‘scrummy’ sound like an insult? Anyway. Enjoy! /ramble

Laputa: Castle in the Sky! I had a lot of fun with this one (and painting all the flowers!). I've long been a fan of this classic Ghibli film, and wanted to do something bright and airy! Here we have a gentle caretaker Robot with their scarf of summer florals and bird friends to keep them sociable. Also invited a fun little guest from Spirited Away :) I went through the process of how I painted these rocks over on my YT -- so if you are curious, go check it out! And I hope that this finds you happy, healthy, and full of good nostalgia. xxoo

Close up of my current ‘work in progress’! Featuring that phase where I’m negotiating the style, and it’s halfway between the classical painting I’m doing an homage to, and halfway between the character I’m going for -- and that character is Zelda, of course ^^

Recently a large online group posted some of my images without credit. This is what happened. I haven't encountered this level of misogyny in a long while. Notice the 'sweetheart' and 'attention seeking' bits? Amazing. Just amazing.

~*insert victory dance  music*~

What do you guys think?! This is my spin on Caspar David Friedrich's painting from 1818, 'Wanderer Above the Sea of Fog'. The original painting's subject is debated, but the Rückenfigur (figure from behind) is theorized to be a ranger or soldier -- specifically Colonel Friedrich Gotthard von Brincken. I thought it very fitting that Cloud take his spot in the piece, as a reference to the ingame first class group, SOLDIER. I hinted to the color and shape of the logo with my METEOR in the sky -- and we also get a nice look at the northern crater as Cloud stands above the fog. The ribbon is something I've always felt was special in the FFVII games -- because my head canon liked to think the accessory RIBBON was also tied to Aerith's hair ribbon (some of the best stats in the game). In Cloud's sword we see the Buster sword with some materia, one of which is HOLY, and of course... a few references hidden on the craggy rocks he stands on, as well.

  I'll post a better look at the final image later, if you like it! Let me know how you feel or what you think ! And if you want to see how relaxing and simple it was to paint that snow on the crags, check out the reel I posted not too long ago :P If you like my work please go support me on my Instagram (lothlenan) and check out my website which is lothlenan.com!
