The Whispering Pines - TF2/Blender

Outside the civilized world, in the untouched northwestern forests of North America, not every traveler dares to stop for a rest within these dark coniferous thickets. Due to disturbing legends from hereditary loggers who lived on these lands with their families for centuries, over the years this region has developed a not so clean reputation. Starting from urban tales about the “ritual burials of sectarians” and ending with folk tales from local residents about certain “forest entities,” this taiga often becomes a place of disappearance for many enthusiastic researchers, but much less often - a quiet place for ordinary travelers to relax. Would a group of tired, recently fired from Mann Co. mercenaries dare to stay here longer?

Shadowy Forest, c. 1930

Just love the landscape :3

Art by Mengxuan Li

I was just trying to draw a hyena, the landscape is something super random :/

Here’s a video so you can hear the water and the thrushes. I took it for you because you couldn’t be there. <3

:]

It’s,, finally done,,

I’ve come to the conclusion that in most places, it isn’t normal to pick and eat wild berries you find…..ya’ll telling me you didn’t grow up eating wild raspberries and blueberries while walking through the forest or camping?

I feel bad for ya’ll, my family would harvest the wild berries near my house all the time when I was a kid, they were delicious! Some of my core memories are keeping an eye out for raspberries and blueberries while hiking or pretty much any time I was anywhere near the forest, it was pretty common knowledge where I grew up what we could and couldn’t eat in the forest. And it was just normal to wander off the trail slightly if you see some wild berries, and to have semi extensive knowledge on the flora.

Princess Mira in Atyri ♡

week 22 "mira hardly had time to ponder the chaos of the situation she was in.. after being reunited with her parents, at the end of the world, she decided to flee with them. theyd done it all for her, to get her back.. she would never forgive them, for the things theyd done, but.. she couldnt leave them. her parents had gone mad, losing her, and the empire would see them executed for their crimes against the valley. mira and her parents fled to the deepest layers of misenheim's royal catacombs.. searching through the rarest magic items, until they found it.. an ancient scroll, to open a gateway, one-way, to the forgotten land of her ancestors. an escape from those that her parents had wronged. with the red guard having abandoned their posts, mira could hear the imperial guard breaking in.. it would be now or never. and so, they fled through. the cold dusty air of the catacombs was replaced by a warm, earthy aroma.. foresty? something so familiar, but she couldnt put her finger on it. she and her mothers rested there, for the night.. free at last, from the empire. in the morning, mira decided to scout out the area.. theyd need food, and shelter, if atyri was anything like thiria. she encountered something strange at a small clearing.. there was a rusty rapier stuck in the ground, beside a half-buried.. metallic girl?" -the historian, 404sd

hi hi! heres week 22, sorry im late! ive been meaning to draw a non-akuta on purple week for a while lol, but i finally got around to a proper atyri introduction hehe. i plan to write more on them for the future! anwho, this week's took 3h20m, has 40 unique colors, and the canvas is 650x520. thank you for checking out my work! i hope you have a wonderful week ♡

Shelter from the Storm

week 18 "arin and ranei, taking shelter from a storm. the endlessly stormy forests of lazure offer them little time to rest.. but theyve been lucky with finding food, and found an overpass which can protect them from the storm, for the time being. after starting a small fire, theyre able to dry off, for the first time in a long time. food will eventually run dry in this area, so they cant stay here forever.. but theyll enjoy the fire and food while they have it, enjoying a rare moment of respite with one another" -the historian, 723sd hi hi! week 18, already? time flies by so quickly. anyways, wanted to draw some cute catboys. (you cant stop me). this one took me 6.5 hours, and has only 112 unique color values. not my best work, but im still pretty proud of it. anywho, thank you for checking out my work! i hope you have a wonderful week ♡

The Naritune Priestess ♡

week 10 "deep in the forests of thiria, exists a towering but soft spoken lady, draped in clothes of moss and leaves. she is the reclusive priestess of the naritune druids, a religion devoted to the forests of thiria. though hundreds of years old, she seems not a day over 25, and bears no age curses, and yet.. perplexingly, she lacks the red hair distinctive of all young thirians. she appears as if she were birthed by the forest itself, with plants and flowers growing in her hair, and her very wings being composed of branches and leaves. she creaks slightly as she walks, and some suspect she is plant all the way through. she very rarely guides or helps her flock directly, opting instead to delegate her wishes through a druidic council, who lead on her behalf. the council delivers her message throughout the forest.. quite literally, tapping into the network of the trees to spread her word far across the valley. she is a kind soul, valuing the happiness of all life, and having immense power in the deepest regions of the forest, but she does not often like to meddle in the lives of mortals, instead preferring mostly to remain in the eternal forest, to comfort and guide her followers who no longer tie into the mortal realm. the naritune druids often follow in her footsteps, albeit to a lesser extent. theyre often more reclusive, and less invested in thirian society, often living in the woods in small independent communes, rather than in the cities and villages of the empire" -the historian, 404sd hi hi! here is week 10! took me close to 5 hours, with 183 unique color values. i think this one turned out very pretty, im happy with it ^^. anyways, thank you for checking out my art! i hope you have a wonderful week ♡

A Stroll Through The Rain ♡

week 7 "an old akulyte walks through the rain, practicing her craft. so many years in darkness and isolation, now ready to return to the light. no longer burdened by expectation, no longer shackled by regret. she singlemindedly pursues her endeavor, and nothing short of divine intervention can stop her now" ahoy hoy! hope you like this week's art :3. im a bit late again.. this one took about 4 hours, i think im getting back into the swing of things! anyways, thank you for checking out my work! i hope you have a lovely week ♡

Cats in the Rain, Elen and Melon ♡

week 6 "in the caves of ryokai, on the outskirts of ferakova, a young rivira lady named elen, is resting, and playing her guitar. the rain falls outside, pattering the roof, and watering the flora. she is lonely, and a bit tired.. she had been gardening all of the morning, and 'crop sales' have been slow. she gets ready to wind down, and take a nap, but before she can set her guitar down, she hears a faint meowing from outside.. she decides to feel her way to the door, and scuffles her feet as she walks. she is completely blind, but her hearing is pristine. she shambles her way towards the meowing, and tentatively feels for the cat, and petting it. what is this fendite cat doing out in the rain? water burns all who are fire aligned.. most run, or hide. this cat seems soft, and friendly.. elen decides to shelter them, for now. they are fat and round, so she decides to nickname them melon, until she thinks of something better. shes never been much of a cat person, with how often they eat her crops.. but she will take care of this one, at least until the rain lets up" -the historian, 582sd hi hi! back again. this one took me about 4 hours, and agh, im later than id have preferred.. but i hope you still enjoy it! anyways, thank you for checking out my art, i hope you have a wonderful week c:

Serenity of Mondel ♡

"mondel, once a fairly small mining town, never had much of an economy.. at most a general store, since neighbors usually just covered each other's needs, being a small interconnected community. its metal deposits werent nearly as numerous as in drekow, so most empire sponsored miners went to the south for their trade.. but this all changed after the great serpent appeared, blocking off the great lakeside trade over night. mondel quickly became the valley's new primary mining city, and before the season's end, the population had already doubled, with more soon to arrive. a few of the older generation were upset with the drastic change in community, but most were welcoming of the new community and culture, bringing trade and breathing new life into the old town. far above the town, on the unreachable peaks above, an old mage watches, delighted to see their old town stronger than ever" -the historian, 404sd hi! i apologize about the long absence.. 8 months?! i guess ive been unwell for a while.. but im finally back! call it a season 2, perhaps? ive been practicing, and i cant wait to show you all the art ive been working on! see you all next week, much love! c: ♡
