“Did you too see it drifting all night on the black river? Did you see it in the morning rising into the silvery air?” Odette skateboard for DROP IN: Skate Deck Art Show 🎨

Odette - black& white skateboard design of Odette's transformation and the Swan Maiden in folklore.
Illustration is a football skateboard shape. At the bottom curve is a black border followed by a porcelain edge filigree pattern with dashes/ lines. Inside the curve is a constellation design mimicking the star patterns of Neuschwanstein Castle in Bavaria known as the "Swan Prince" castle. Grey stars on a white background with fine line ink. Above the border is a metal embossed moon medallion in grey with daisies and a moon. Large stylized white waves morphing into magical energy as they transform Odette are overtop the body of a painted outlined swan turned to the left with its wing folded down with speckled grey patterning mimicking vintage ballet costume patterns.
To the left of the swan is a large silver sacred heart with jewels, radial background, a sword vertically piercing it and an arch with three jewelled stars. Below is a rendered and outlined oval link chain winding behind the elements. To the right of the white swan is a faceted 8 point metal star with fleur de lis arm segments and a large diamond in the middle. Flying through the chain link is a Russian striped folk arrow. Above is the black swan counterpoint Odile flipped in reversed. Over top is a paisley like folk pattern of Russian like embroidery of flowers, vines and curved tear drops in flat toned greys. Above is a matching mirrored medallion of daises but with a sun instead for the time restraints of the spell from the ballet. The top curve is a tangle of branches/dark leaves in black on a lighter black background. Overtop are white fine line inked chamomile flowers in reference to Tchaikovsky's sister Aleksandra who inspired his ballets and the area of Russia they grew up. The border is split into white on the top & black on the bottom. Behind both swans are walls with a tile pattern of black 8 point stars lined in white on a grey background framing an empty space doorway is shaded wall moulding.

yes i dont believe our limits in the physical world are an opposing force against pure creation, they ARE pure creation. if your dream song is performed it in a way that is not 'perfectly' in sync with that dream, then the most honest and beautiful version is the 'wrong' performance, not the dream

I think any like two of these details would be fine and look cool. But this is Too Many Things and they all visually conflict with each other. I need to go do some Link cosplay in Nikki, I guess, which understands when to show restraint. And to not put leather on leather.

I've been thinking about this at times lately, too. If I was content with an idea being only for me, then there is no reason to create it, because it's already in my head in its ideal form. The entire point of getting it out of there is so it can mean something to other people.

Hey I'm not actually done talking about Dolly Parton. 🧵 Specifically I want to talk about her album 9 to 5 and Odd Jobs, released in 1980 (not the soundtrack to the film 9 to 5, that's a different thing). The whole album is about work, with most of the songs focused on a different type of worker.

My story about knitting and hope is out in the world! I wrote this in a moment of frustration and feeling powerless, and it was my way of staring my despair in the face and saying "No." I hope it's a reminder that creating, resisting, connecting, they may feel like small acts, but they mean so much.

Tim Curry and Dolly Parton have taught us not only that you should be bigger, weirder, gayer, and freakier, but also that those qualities are what people will love about you. The things that make you strange and amazing are the things that will resonate with other strange and amazing people

I love when fantasy series have a dude called something like Stephen the All-Seeing, Keeper of the Demon Sword, hero of the Volcano Age. But in some tiny village, he's known as Bees Steve, that weird guy who loves beekeeping. The more uppercase titles the legend has, the funnier the contrast is.

I love this game! As much as I like farming games, I always thought we were missing games about growing where the growth is for restoration rather than profit. This one nails it beautifully. Definitely open to more recs in a similar vein.
