does anyone know any female characters in any folklore or mythology that are invincible, in the sense that they shrug off lethal wounds and come out of situations that should have killed them, and can survive anything? i am writing a poem about a person i know who's like that and need some inspiration. thank you

PeaNUTS. #grickledoodle #october #halloween #peanuts #charliebrown #horror #alien #cartoon #art #drawing #funny #humor

An alien mimicking Charlie Brown — round head, zigzag shirt and exaggerated toothy grin — stands in a yard while three children playing with toys stare and recoil, highlighting the alien's misguided attempt to appear friendly. Caption reads "Based on a few stolen paperbacks, the alien assumed the form of what it deemed to be the friendliest image to present to the humans."

Now THIS is a winter migration spectacle!

Thousands of Snow Geese fill the sky above a field crowded with Sandhill Cranes along New Mexico's Rio Grande bosque. The sheer number of birds is incredible, and the sound of all those wings and calls is something a photograph can never quite capture.

One of my favorite winter sights in New Mexico!

Thousands of white Snow Geese with black-tipped wings fill the blue sky above hundreds of Sandhill Cranes gathered in a golden field. Bare cottonwood trees, autumn-colored foliage, and distant blue mountains frame the winter migration scene in New Mexico.

#art #portrait #neurodivergence I just found out why I mainly sketch portraits from imagination almost never from reference. It's because of the incredible stress I feel trying to be true to the reference. I respect these references very much. They are people after all. And there is a whole person behind that face. And this person I would have to channel onto the paper. In its entirety. Pretty much. Which is of course, not possible. And not even something I want.
It takes so much detaching for me to simplify and just use reference as inspiration.
That's one reason. Another reason of course is, that there are all these people living in my imagination, that want out.
Yeah, I know, I'm weird. There is a lot of autistic hyperempathy and OCD and hypersensitivity and impracticality in this.
but now that I realized, I can make a habit out of detaching consciously. Because frankly, for figuredrawing you just need reference. As long as you care if it looks like real people at least. Maybe I do, Maybe I don't , but I'd like to have a decision in that.

A dark, crumbling castle rises from a shadowy blue-green landscape. The sun blazes behind it at the base, casting a blur of yellow light into the sky and reflecting off the side of the castle. A small arched doorway near the base glows bright green. In front, a winding gray path curves toward the foreground, the greenish light from the doorway reflecting off it. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A dark, squat robot wanders across a mottled blue-gray space. Its rounded body ends in several ragged pointed flaps, and a large pale blue glass visor dominates the upper right side. A person is dimly visible through the visor. Small orange and yellow indicator lights glow along its top, while a bright white circular lamp shines on the front. A yellow-and-black hazard stripe and tiny turquoise buttons sit on its front and side. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

#inktober day 21: hero

#notesArt #mastoArt #art #illustration #fediArt

A person sits in a dimly lit server room, lit only by a greenish fluorescent bulb hanging from the ceiling. They are tapping at a laptop with a glowing screen. Behind them are several huge server cabinets filled with servers and blinking colored lights. Fixed to the wall above them are several large computer screens, displaying white lines of text and infographics on a blue background. To those who keep the gears turning and the uptime above 98%: thank you. I hope you get some sleep tonight. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

Ruth and the goth baddies they bagged by being autistic

#oc #art #furry #anthro #furryart

Three anthro characters standing shoulder to shoulder on a patterned background. The left is short, slight, blueish-white furred and of ambiguous mammalian species with big ears and a long tufted tail; he is dressed in a mime-inspired black and dark purple outfit with a short dress that exposes his bulge. The middle is a tallish, curvy, androgynous, albino rat with their arms on the others shoulders; they are wearing a revealing red tunic with a loin cloth and tummy window over thigh highs and black panties. The right is a short, broader, green rabbit with lope ears which are over one eye; he is wearing a black bikini with a thick belt and small jacket over it.

Mornin'. Have some Childe Hassam to start your day. #Art

A watercolor painting of the outer wall of a house, as seen from the yard. Our view is of a window, which is just to the right of center. The wall and the window frame are both painted white, and the window has many small rectangular panes of glass. Through the window, we can see some potted plants, some of which have red flowers in them. There are also red flowers in the flower bed alongside the house, as well as a shrub (just visible to the left) and some sort of climbing plant (which is off to the right, and is growing around the right side of the window). The light is bright, and what little grass we can see looks a bit faded, giving the impression of late summer/early fall.

Balcony on Archbishop Square

On Archbishop Square an empty balcony above an oriel window awaits the feet of fate.
A crowd, as yet ungathered, will stand beneath and cheer, or jeer, depending on the declamation.
