Kinda random but do you have any tips on drawing orchids? (I ask this because I vaguely remember seeing a piece you did that involved orchids, but I can’t for the life of me find it!! I do fear this hypothetical drawing of yours is nothing more than a figment of my imagination, but I figure it’s worth asking :)
Tumblr media
[Text Reads: The focal point of orchids in my eye are the little angel wings...when I draw flowers I often trace the general shape and then add pizzazz so I don't know if I have any tip or trick per say. When drawing flowers I'm not typically very detailed. I tend to draw 'flower-shaped-thing' - exaggerating petals and buds and bloom to give the feeling that you know what you're looking at. Here are some sketches of orchids + one I drew awhile ago to give a vague idea of what I'm talking about.] I hope this is helpful - or nice to look at~!

"hey mom... dead mom..."
Tumblr media
Rae tried not to visit the memorial. He knew that if he went there, he'd start feeling the pain of losing her all over again, and he knew there were things he had to focus on. "I can grieve her once it's all over," He kept thinking. "I promised her I'd help her and I failed her. I can't fail anyone else."
And then he found his sibling standing by it, cursing it's very existence. "How could you do this, Rae?" Icarus had asked. "This isn't okay. She hurt me." They had said. Rae couldn't not hear the animosity in their voice against his mother, the hostility against them. He didn't blame them, but he also deserved a place to memorialize his parent. "She was my mother, Icarus." He had said. But to Icarus, that wasn't enough.
Icarus had attacked him there with a potion. Something that made him cough up sculk and sprout new horns and a tail. Something so vile that it made his body fight for it's life so hard it grew new bits.
He knew they didn't like it, knew when he made it that they wouldn't like it, and yet he deserved a place to keep her memories alive. She deserved it too, even if she had made bad decisions.
So, fearing that the spot would be blown up, like how the memorials of the bodies in the Endstone reset Strongholds had been, he started visiting it more. At first he'd try and see it from his windows, but that hadn't eased his mind. So instead he went closer, and closer. And eventually, one time, he decided to sit there.
And then he talked. "Hey mom..." He started with a simple greeting, "Well.. dead.. mom." It felt crazy, talking to an empty grave, a full ground instead of a hollow one, and yet... it was helping. "I wish you were still here..."
"I wish I could've been more of a son to you."
