Columbine: Ah Yes, The Four Love Languages. Columbine, Pointing At Martin: My Parents Never Told Me They

I intended just to do a drawing of Lady Cregga but it ended up a little more three-dimensional.

Quarantine seems like a lovely time for a gender crisis don’t it?

this book is very sweet.💖

Need more redwall love on this site so here are some actually redwall doodles from a while back... Firstly Mice as I was trying to figure them out, accompanied by Tagg/Deyna and Nimbalo because Taggerung is one of my favorite books! Next image is because I was revisiting Triss recently, so across the board we got Welfo, Shogg, Triss, Sagax, Scarum, and Kroova :) I'm not great yet at making the critters look distinct from one another but boy do I love drawing them!

Some Lonna Bowstripe for Inktober because I deserve to get back into Redwall art 😌

Old unfinished drawing

Rose but like… she is the guardian of Martins sword… yeah

“I am Lord Cayvear, High Chief of the dark places.”

Guess I just have a fondness for heroes' that started too young, lost their whole families because of the baddie, went on grand adventures that took them over the world, met a girl who they associate strongly with a particular flower but who then dies and leaves them embittered and hurting as they continue to wander the world, searching for a purpose or just waiting to be killed, only to eventually find life again when some Dorky Little Guy with a Gimmick (and perhaps is somewhat dishonest but on the whole very polite about it) who then prompts them to take another journey at the end of which they decide to settle down and just try to enjoy life

They do not, of course, get to enjoy a totally peaceful life, but it's okay because they need the enrichment sometimes <3

They then go on to become a well storied hero that is spoken of widely throughout the rest of whatever series of media they feature in, naturally.

rereading redwall

Thinking about that post talking about Martin and Tsarmina being foils of each other

inaccurate memories)

Martin with woodlanders: the "quiet kid" of the group. Compliments everyone's skills. Just glad to be here.

Martin when there's something resembling vermins on the horizon: Let the world burn!

The funny thing is that from my childhood I remembered Martin the Warrior as this self-isolated stoic hero. Quiet and calm. Mostly. But he is actually as unstable as Tsarmina. Ready to yell and wreak havoc at any sign of danger. Why didn't I remember this? When I re-read books I was like why are you doing this you are only making it worse!!! 80% of the time.>w< But it's more fun this way.
