Poll adventure (paventure? lol) Day 14: read the small story tidbit below the poll for more details, OR just vote based on initial impression
(✦ see past poll results + further information HERE (link) ✦)
Yesterday's poll decided that The Adventurer should relax by spending his afternoon shopping ..
~
He trots down the mossy cobblestone walkway, gazing around in awe as he approaches the central hub of the small city. Tiny shops and stalls and carts are woven through the few clusters of taller buildings, with a modest crowd bustling back and forth between them. Despite much of the land being cleared for structures and pathways, it's still lush with greenery wherever it can be, every blank stone wall or street corner dotted with trailing vines and flowering fruit trees.
After spending a good 25 minutes trying to orient himself at the city map directory, he finally finds his way onto one of the primary shopping streets, eager to spend the afternoon lazily strolling about, trying to ignore his physical aches and just take in all the sights as he hunts for interesting items....
...A few hours (and multiple snack breaks) later, the streets begin to glow with a hazy warmth as lanterns are lit, marking the nearing sunset. Possibly because of the fight yesterday, he's felt shakier, more easily startled than usual, and suddenly realizes an urgent need to be safely inside his room at the inn before nightfall. He wanted to stay out longer, see the lights and the crowds, fascinating scenes of city nightlife he's never been exposed to before.. but, his nerves are impossible to ignore.
Begrudgingly preparing to slink off towards the inn in a sweaty anxious panic, he stops in the doorway, resolving to at LEAST buy himself ONE nice item before he leaves. He doesn't have much money, sure, but it'd be a shame to simply look around all day and not get anything. All travelers need to collect their souvenirs, right? But.. What should he get?

Brains are fucking weird. I saw that recluse in my tub last night and of course it was still stuck under the cup this morning, so I... Spent a half hour looking up if it could be any other spider (it could! Southern house spiders look REMARKABLY similar and even have a marking behind their heads, though it's generally thinner than a recluse mark) and swapping the cup for glass so I could get good pictures of it and count the eyes. It took an hour because spiders are super fucking difficult to photograph with that amount of accuracy and I kept having to add light.
I finally got a definitive photo. 3 dots across the face, two eyes each even if too small for me to see individually. Definitely a recluse.
And I don't know what the point of any of that was but I felt like I could not walk away until I had properly identified it with that safety barrier between us. I'm not going to pick up the glass and kill it. I'm too afraid of it. I'm certainly not going to risk sliding something under the glass and dropping it on the way out the door, and also no offense but I really don't want to put it back out where it can get in again. I really wanted it to be a house spider so I could let it go. But it's not. And I used up an hour of my day and I still have to like. Do stuff. Just go about my day with something terrifying trapped in the bathtub. Wtf are brains.

announcement time!
i have decided that i am going to begin to develop my art skills by tracing over reference photos. im using the art program krita - if anyone has any advice or photos to trace (all kinds are welcome! i may favor birds but i need to learn EVERYTHING) i'd be more than happy to receive!
i'd love to stream it once i've got my twitch account set up for that - I think I'd still need to attach some kind of payment method in order to stream? I'm not sure. The soonest I'll be able to start would be this Thursday, but truthfully it'll probably be a while before I get the channel up and going.
Disclaimer: I am tracing photographs! By submitting a photo you agree that I am allowed to trace it for (human!) training purposes, and that I am allowed to stream said tracing process, and that you are not entitled to anything that may come from said stream! End disclaimer.
Y'all can send in asks with images and/or submit them here. I ask that you send in photos that you've taken and/or photos that are commercially available, just to ensure that I'm not infringing on any copyright. If you've got your own art (original content) you'd like to submit, I'll take that, too - again with the caveat that I am allowed to trace them.
I will not be selling anything that I make due to the nature of the process - this is all just me learning how to make art and use my art program. Once the art streams are up and running, I might have some other stream ideas up my sleeve that are worth looking out for!
