I Only Got Into Ghost In December But I Am Obsessed With Their Music. It's As If The Band Was Taylor

“My name is Elsa Sánchez de Oesterheld, and I am the wife of Héctor Germán Oesterheld, world-famous for writing the comic strip El Eternauta. During this country’s tragic era, my four daughters, my husband, my two sons-in-law, another son-in-law I never met, and two unborn grandchildren disappeared. Ten people disappeared in my family. But I prefer to remember the years when I was happy.”

Elsa Sánchez de Oesterheld - "Los Oesterheld" (2016) A Biography.

In the picture, the four Oesterheld daughters, ages between 14 and 19 years old. They were part of the "Unión de estudiantes secundarios" (High school students union).

Argentina's last civic-military dictatorship that took place from 1976 to 1983, supported and financed by the C.I.A. from the United States through the so-called "Operation Condor"; kidnapped thousands of people, took them to clandestine camps, tortured them mercilessly, stole their children and disappeared them by extrajudicial executions disposing their bodies secretly.

The classical piece I fell in love with as a child (thanks mom). Still in love with it. How could I not be.

The Mad Dreamer, chief Archivist of the Library of Alagadda, Master of the Alchemic Arts. Sworn to the White Lord, Albedo of Alagadda.

The Dreamers that freely roam the Darkling Plain and the people of Celephais and Serannian, who live under King Kuranes call him by many other names :The Lost One, the fool, the forsaken . But more often he is known as the Prisoner, because in his folly he bartered for his life and the scraps of his sanity with his freedom.

He was a Dreamer on a leash, a political advantage to the Faction of the White Lord . He was a cherished tool for his master, feared and respected, until he vanished from the City, leaving behind his citizen's mask and rumors of betrayal.

For Chandra however he was mentor, friend and father all in one, and she would not forsake him.

Concept sketch/ WIP for the Mad Dreamer.

@amyma-ymamy feel free to add.

By the way this is a lovely and funny series of video on the matter.

Admiral Pavel Chichagov might be one of my favorite failure of a man ever. It's hilarious. Poor guy was a fish out of water. Literally.

Barclay de Tolly and Bagration in Russian military camp circa 1812

Trying out a new coloring technique

Quick sketch of Fedyor and Zoya from Shadow and Bones. We all love the Little Palace family.

Inspired by this fic by @yototothelalafell

Nero and Seneca, by Eduardo Barrón (1904)

I love this statue so much because it really captures the fact that Nero is just a grumpy teen going through a phase and Seneca is desperately trying to teach him something so he doesn't get exiled again

I have a question. It's a really silly question but I am curious. Pink Floyd. I LOVE Pink Floyd. I mean the Dark side of the Moon? Wish you were here? Beautiful. Amazing music. Probably amongst my favorite of all times.

But am I the only one who can listen to them only so much before starting to feel a mixture of existential dread and general depression?

The notable exception is my beloved Piper at the Gates of Dawn. I could listen to that one over and over again.

NB: some of this is and exaggeration for dramatic purpose.

I'll go and do a deep dive of their discography to gather more data.

Quick painting of a storm deity done on infinite painter

Rumors of his death were much exagerated. 1hr sketch. May finish it decently in the future

Captains James Clark Ross and Francis R. M. Crozier, just back from Antarctica, posing for a portrait.

(I am still falling down the firehole, can't seem to reach the sea. It's embarassing.

The two captains are now living rent free in my brain. Just what I needed. But they are quite fun to paint😊. )

This is just a rough sketch but I am quite happy about how it's turning out. I may have spent way too much time blending portraits, photographs and statues into cohesive faces, but it was worth it.
