Bin gerade mal wieder voll im Micheal-Ende-Thema drin und bin gerade an Momo hängen geblieben...
...anyway, sind wir uns eigentlich sicher das Friedrich Merz nicht einfach zu den Grauen Herren gehört???
Es ist Silvesterabend und ich gönne mir den Klassiker. Ist immer noch gut!

A Gift for dragonfire42
sigil version
versions for square or circle use
Long before getting paired up with her in the Winter Omens Big Bang as artist for her “Keep Calm and Carry On”, I’ve admired @dragonfire42 ’s exceptional stories. They are different, in the best of ways: the story ideas appear to blossom from a brain well practised in Thinking Out Of The Box (one of my favourite kinds of Thinking). They are incredibly well researched, and deep, and fill me with awe and wonder.
When I made the cover art for our collab, I asked if she had a sigil that I could add, and she hadn’t one. Ever since then, this idea has been growing on a back burner of my mind, and has now finally come to fruition.
I designed this thinking of her fandom name - obviously - but also of the way loops play a role in her stories. Loops in logic and philosophy offer new viewpoints, they give sense for both the small and the big picture, for the individual and the social context in one fell swoop. The dragon who is not only an ouroboros (an important theme in The NeverEndingStroy’s Auryn, though with two serpents there), but actually creates himself, is for me a metaphor of human creativity, self-determination, and ultimately, joy of life.
The background colour in the middle was chosen with Falkor/Fuchur/Luckdragon in mind, of the NeverEndingStory.
The background colours outside the dragon are her favourite colours after octarine, which I somehow couldn’t find on my palette 😏
The above mentioned story is still posting regularly, and it contains bits and pieces of my art but the ‘big picture’ will be revealed in one of the future chapters. I very much recommend the story!
If you prefer you can also just look at the art for it in chapters 8-13 of my art collection on AO3.
Or read dragonfire42’s Good Omens x NeverEnding Story crossover, The NeverEnding Archive!
A huge Thank You to @thinkinginscripts whom I regularly pester with my art WIPs and who always has a useful and/or encouraging comment. Betaing art is a thing!

The Neverending Story behind "The Neverending Story"
It's way to interesting to not share it:
I marked the interesting parts for you, if you want to read more about it you'll find good information here. ↩
Have you read Jim Button and Luke the Engine Driver by Michael Ende (orig. Jim Knopf und Lukas der Lokomotivführer, 1960)?
yes
no
I didn't finish it
I've never heard of it
I saw someone mention Michael Ende's "The Neverending Story" as a perfect Ghibli movie candidate (which I fully agree upon even though it would need to be much longer than usual since the second part of the book is ESSENTIAL, I can't imagine Ghibli doing a series though) BUT PLEASE ALSO consider his other work (which should be way much more popular in the English speaking realm) "MOMO" as perfect Ghibli movie material!!! I saw someone on reddit mention this (upon a question of books that give Ghibli vibes, thank god!) because it's an incredibly timeless story (no pun intended, the theme is time) with:
a child and girl as the protagonist and hero
an animal sidekick (who's also vital for the story)
magical and realistic elements
wondrous, beautiful, and highly detailed places (ugh, Ghibli would kill the designs!!)
lots of important life messages (not just about time!)
AND A CRAZY RESCUE AND CLIMAX!
I BEG YOU HAYAO MIYAZAKI, if you won't tackle "The Neverending Story" which is understandably a BIG story with vast worlds with LOTS OF MATERIAL (that you can't just press into one movie tbh, considering the LONG second part of the book), consider ending your career (or not) with "Momo" with a last literally "timeless" story!!!
Please spread this, I need to see more people who agree upon this sentiment!
