KNAWING AT THE BARS OF MY ENCLOSURE SSIGGSS POSTED

Epic art time!

Just like I am doing with Trollhunters, I'm going to do a lil rewrite/rework of the world for Epic. Plotlines and all kinds of stuff is going to change.

Anyways, not much to show, but I thought I'd share anyways.

Art below the cut.

First things first, my friend---who is also working on this au with me---didn't really like the helmets the Leafmen wear in the movie, so I just did a little redesign.

Not really needed and probably not going to stick, but it's Epic related, so it's included.

A random arch fae I sketched out.

I want to lean farther into the fantasy aspect of Epic, while still keeping it semi-grounded in the premise of life vs decay.

Solution? Dark fantasy with random other fantasy creatures sprinkled all around.

There's going to be nymphs (The flower people and the mimics of the story), Dryads (very few still around. They're saplings that faeries enchanted to come to life), and Naga (a lot of different reptiles and such). And of course Boggans and Leafmen/Jinn.

And finally, we have Dagda, Mandrake's head general and the heir to Wrathwood's throne!

Boggans are way more creepy and bug-looking in my redesigns so far. Dagda's mother is still a WIP but I'm pretty sure she's gonna be some type of spider Boggan. Dagda inherited her mandibles, and the extra eyes.

I didn't really manage to capture his canon personality very well in this headshot, but I like the outcome anyway. The skull needs a little bit of work, though. A little wonky looking.

Also, Dagda could totally rock the snakebites piercing.

That's all, hope you enjoyed 😁

Please Help Me Find This Mysterious Song

Tumblr, I do not do this often, but please please can you help me with this? I know you are better than other websites who have all failed me so far... For many years I have been looking (alas, in vain) for a certain song. Very likely a novelty one, though I do not know – I have never caught its name nor the name of the singer. I heard it once or twice on a radio station which only aired retro songs, so it was probably from 1960–80s. Now this one song was sung from a first-person perspective – the singer (almost as desperate as I am) was a classical violinist who longed to be a rock n roll star, which is what he soulfully crooned in the refrain. It was a fun, bittersweet song and always reminded me of Kinks stylewise (though it is very likely not their song).

Nobody seems to know this song, no website or forum dedicated for searching for lost songs has ever helped me, whenever I type in the snippets of the lyrics I remember (for example, something like "the duke told the duchess that he thought that I had talent, the duchess winked at me and said Oh yes, it's quite apparent"), Google pretends it has never heard of it. But I know it exists (I have a witness who heard it with me) and I MUST find it. I will not have peace to die until I find this song. I will continue haunting this Earth as a mournful wraith unless I find it, which is a distressing notion.

Do you have any idea what it might be?

(My eternal gratitude for reblogs.)

You have no excuse to be silent about the genocide in Palestine.

If you can’t reblog the posts about dead Palestinians, at least reblog posts about the history of Palestine.

At least reblog posts showing art made by Palestinians.

At least reblog posts that show fundraisers for Palestinians, e-sims that you can donate, and the arab.org website that helps you donate to Palestine for free.

At least reblog posts showing Zionist companies that we need to boycott.

That is the absolute least that we can do for Palestine.

The Palestinians are begging for us to use our voice. Some of them don’t even have access to internet, so their suffering goes unnoticed.

Please. Speak up for Palestine.

Mourn the dead, fight like hell for the living.

Free Palestine.

Yeah sex is cool I guess

But have you ever sat back and just listened to Edward Nigma insult you for hours on end

Got a nose piercing on Friday, everything was going great till it got ripped out at about 3. Spent an hour trying to get it back in. Put my glasses back on after a shower and it ripped it out backwards.

Now I have to go to the piercing shop tomorrow and be like "Hey, yeah, so... I can't put my piercing back in. Can you do it?"

Or

"Yeah I couldn't find the exit hole so it closed up overnight. Can you repierce it?"

This L shaped stud is too small for my fat nose.

The killing of Palestinians is still going, boycotting is still going
