Description   

Well, an old sketch from months ago, (EDIT 2023 *draft time*:

Though we do not get even that far when I am sensing somebody observing us. A hunch perhaps, but something tells me to be wary. The night makes it difficult to see anything, despite the glow of stars, on the white surface, the tree branches are still mostly thick shadows in the distance. It troubles me.

I trudge my way through the drift that is worse than when I escaped the sheepli. And my senses are on alert for another hidden “sinkhole” buried under the blanket but I try to encourage myself and the maiden- I glance at her, she’s crouched a few steps from me, marvelling at something on the ground. Well, she doesn’t look to be in need of encouragement, finding enough wonder at the outside world surrounding her. I wonder if it’s a squirrel or bird footprint she has spotted. She points at it and I follow her motion. Indeed, there’s animal tracks in the snow. She’s faster at recognition than me.

 ‘A wolf.’

I stare at her. Wolf? Here? Well, suppose I shouldn’t be surprised though I do not recall seeing one before, though this cannot be where I entered the cave.  

The maiden’s head grooves as she follows the steps. ‘But this is strange. The tracks just end here.’ She points the spot and crouches down. I would go with her if just then I had not caught motion in my corner. Just as I turn a dark something emerges against the night and snow. Speeding up in a downward arch. Pointing towards…

And before my eyes work out what it is, I shout at the girl. ‘Run!’
 She shoots up at it, but too slowly. I dash at her and use all my power to push her away. She falls to the snow and I only get a glimpse of her shocked face as the black arrow finds me, and hurls me backwards to the drift.

I actually referenced the pose, taking picture of my own legs in the air in kind of like that pose, because I couldn't find a good one. I had skirt that made some great, inspiring folds I applied to his tunic hem here, so hard to figure out the folding of clothing otherwise. xD And the cloak well, my artistic side ended up fancying it up a bit, ehh.  

The archer you may recognise from here: www.deviantart.com/thestarligh…

Actually thought of going with that pose, then I remembered I'd already drawn it and it felt strange to redraw it, so I drew it from back instead. Originally, wasn't supposed to include the archer but, maybe it makes the rough scene a bit more clear.  



Who is this hooded figure, why did he aim that spell arrow on Farrvaarh? That I won't spoil you, at least yet.



2020: Mmm, at the crazy times we're living, I'd rather focus on those things that focus on bringing harmony and on peace and love, instead of violence, when I'm just speaking against violence.... Though this drawing highly contrasts of the feelings I had after one video.

And overall, felt like my inner world is in storm and turmoil trying to find balance. Well, I can feel the pull of Mars, and it shows up on the balcony at night too, pretty and powerful orange.


We can only do our best to turn the course and awaken people. We are in the positive timeline, though there is still work to be done for things to get better. I've heard all kinds of hair-rising omens about the mid part of this August and what may take place. It seems something big and knowing that makes me anxious...
