Throughout our world, consumer goods propelled by hyperbolic advertising techniques serve to supplant our consciousness and diffuse our reflective capacity. In architecture the application of new, digitally supercharged techniques currently join the hyperbole.

Hi everyone, I made this for @pinkyhaert as a late bday gift. I hope they like this and sorry. Working on animation with wings is new and fun. Holly is really cute. And I'm getting closer to their cannon design. Which I'm happy how they look. This might be how I draw them now.
Btw I did extra work on the wings. This was an experience. I'm tired~
Noch einer, meiner Koboldcharaktere. Kicherlein ist eine Holl, eine hessische Art von Wichtel. Sie werden als dunkelhäutig und dickköpfig (im wortwörtlichen Sinne) beschrieben. Ihr name ist wahrscheinlich mit der Frau Holle, die selber reichlich viele Sagen in Hessen hat, verbunden. Die Brüder Grimm bemerkten, dass die Haut vieler deutscher Kobolde und Zwerge als dunkel, schwarz, braun und vor allem grau beschrieben wird. Sie verbinden das, mit den kleinwüchsigen Dunkelalben, die Snorri Sturluson in seiner Prosa Edda beschreibt.
Another of my goblin characters. Kicherlein is a Holl, a hessian type of imp. They are described as dark skinned and thick headed (literally). Their name is probably connected to Mother Hulda, a very famous fairy also from Hessen. The brothers Grimm noted that the skin of most german dwarves and goblins is described as dark, black, brown and, most often, grey. They connect this with the dwarfish dark elves described by Snorri Sturluson in his Prose Edda.
un altro dei miei personaggi goblin. Kicherlein è una Holl, un tipo di folletto dell’Assia. Vengono descritti con la pelle scura e la testa grossa. Il loro nome è probabilmente collegato a Madama Holda, una famosa fata del folklore assiano. I fratelli Grimm hanno notato che molti gnomi e nani tedeschi hanno la pelle scura, nera, bruna o soprattutto grigia. Secondo loro ha a che fare con i naneschi elfi oscuri, descritti da Snorri Sturluson nella sua Edda in Prosa.
