concept: a death god that is actually surprisingly supportive and on the side of the good guys, supporting actions and promoting policies that will lead to the kingdom growing and thriving instead of being destroyed, because the more the kingdom grows, the more people there are, and the more people there are the more people will eventually die, and when you’re an immortal god of death, you know there’s no need to rush. you’ll get them all in the end
Day one of trying to get better at art via master copies. I'm gonna be real I have no idea where or what the image comes from. I found it on pinterest, but if I find out where (I think it's from a movie) I'll make sure to update the post. Made a few creative choices as well to differentiate it from the original further. Pretty happy with how this came out. Definitely helps to have a reference.
Dunno how to put it properly into words but lately I find myself thinking more about that particular innocence of fairy tales, for lack of better word. Where a traveller in the middle of a field comes across an old woman with a scythe who is very clearly Death, but he treats her as any other auntie from the village. Or meeting a strange green-skinned man by the lake and sharing your loaf of bread with him when he asks because even though he's clearly not human, your mother's last words before you left home were to be kind to everyone. Where the old man in the forest rewards you for your help with nothing but a dove feather, and when you accept even such a seemingly useless reward with gratitude, on your way home you learn that it's turned to solid gold. Where supernatural beings never harm a person directly and every action against humans is a test of character, and every supernatural punishment is the result of a person bringing on their own demise through their own actions they could have avoided had they changed their ways. Where the hero wins for no other reason than that they were a good person. I don't have the braincells to describe this better right now but I wish modern fairy tales did this more instead of trying to be fantasy action movies.
absolute fucking icons in te pāti māori already on their first day in parliament refusing to bow down to british colonialism, along with the protests theyre running today against the national/act/nz first coalition anti māori policies. we'll get through the next few years together, with them and the greens pushing back against the racist government harder than ever
