#popp

I’ve always loved this contrast:

the olive trees with their cool, almost northern crowns —

and the poppies, deep and warm in their reds, surrounded by a sunlit, warm green.

In this painting, two moods meet for me:

the fresh, chilly breath of early spring

and the first gentle rays of sunlight that touch the ground

but don’t quite warm the air yet.

It feels like the perfect artwork for the first day of spring —

when the world still carries a whisper of winter’s cold,

but somewhere inside, you can already hear the promise of warmth.

If you like my work, please consider commissioning me :)

Yarnaby had done a number on your thigh, his claws had made contact with the soft flesh. Causing three good sized lacerations, thankfully he didn't cut deep enough to hit the mussel underneath the layers of skin and fat. Not fatal but can cause major problems if left untreated.

Each step was a struggle, dizziness and fatigue had started to set in thanks to the blood lost. Doey was nowhere to be seen. The Player had to focus on getting back to the Safe Haven before something worse happens.

As the player got closer to the Safe Haven, their vision began to blur, and they staggered a few times. However, the hardest part was over. Upon reaching the Safe Haven their eyelids began to feel heavy. The last thing they saw was the entrance beginning to open before everything went black.

★ After finding out what happened Doey would make his way to where the player is being treated, needing to see for himself that they are safe and being taken care of. He stood right next to the medic while you were being worked on. If you woke up, he wanted to be there to comfort you.

★ Ever the gentleman, he covered his eyes with his hand when the medic had to shimmy your pants down to properly dress the wound, he had to respect their privacy! "Oh no, oh no, this is bad. Don't look." he muttered under his breath.

★ Doey was a bundle of nerves until the Player woke up. He spent the time thinking things over, first kissy got hurt and now you. Thankfully you woke up fairly quick, only were out for about an hour.

★ In a matter of seconds he was standing next to them. "Hey there buddy, how are you feeling?" They groaned at the horrible feeling emitting from there thigh. "Not great then?" Doey said, shifting into the Players view.

★ He stayed close, helping the Player with anything they needed. He fumbled a bit while helping the Player, still a bit shaken by his new best friend getting roughed up this badly.

★ Despite the exhaustion, you find it difficult to sleep soundly. That isn't surprising considering the pain from the injury. Remember, they have no painkillers. Only children's Tylenol.

★ You will be feeling it for the next few days. Luckily you are in an area where you can rest. Doey makes it a point to check on the player regularly, bringing them water and a few books from the reading corner. It's not much but he hopes it makes you feel more comfortable.

Felt like giving this meme a try. There are so many characters that I love and wanted to draw but never got the chance, I figured this was an opportunity. There's also an additional four because I wanted to draw them but they didn't really fit in the categories

I loved doing this because it made me notice some patterns in my faves. If I had a nickel for every time a character has an alter ego that I end up liking more than the original, I'd have a lot of nickels. There's also two purple bunnies, somehow?

I drew this a few days ago 🥹 I’m really proud of it

This isn’t the original look, I put a filter on it bc it looks way duller as a saved photo than it actually does irl😭(like it’s a lot more colorful, it looks so dull fo some reason😭)

This is the original I hope you see what I was talking about

People who haven't watched Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai,
