An Outsider Looking On

This is my half of the art trade with the sweetest @drew-winchester. She wanted something of her sweet Rey and Neville. Thankfully my husband @thebiganvil came up with a wonderful idea for a little adventure of their own. He helped me with a number of additions and adjustments to make this feel right in the world. I hope you enjoy it!

   The late evening light still glimmered as Rey skipped along the path. Music from the ball played in her head as she smiled her way past some of the visiting students. Despite all of the extra people at Hogwarts, the grounds were still far quieter than they would have been normally. Many went home to see family after the Yule Ball. Others hadn’t made it back yet. She allowed herself to enjoy the peaceful surroundings as she went off in search of her friend.    Turning the corner between the trees, something caught her eye. Movement just to the side of the greenhouse. She stopped and ducked behind some branches to watch. Nothing happened for a count of ten and then suddenly, there! There it was again! Someone was trying to look inside and trying not to been seen at the same time. She stepped around, moving to the next tree to get a better view. Once she caught a glimpse this time, her eyes went wide. Why would he be hiding? Why not just go inside?       Rey moved out from her hiding place and strode into the greenhouse like nothing had happened. As she opened the door, she saw the form move off quickly. Likely to skulk about another time. Looking down the rows of potted plants, Rey saw Neville at the far end, carefully pruning some shivelfig. She stifled a small giggle as she watched him stick out his tongue as he concentrated on his work.

   Meheaaris is a very stubborn, determined man. As he Sin’dorei with no magic, he found himself working as a ranger among the Farstriders. He is exceptionally skilled with bow and dagger. Wanting to rid himself of his addiction to the fel, he made a deal which would cost him more than he realized. The ethereals offered him an exchange. They would remove the addiction to fel in return for all of his memories of his family. At the time, he thought it was the best choice. What they did was replace his need with that of the Shadows.

    He was given some training on how to work with it and sent on his way. Left now with no memory of where he was from or what his true name was, he soon found himself yearning to get those memories back. His determined nature would push him to make decisions that led him to Master Umbric and his followers. Enticed by promises that they could find those memories in the Void, he went with them. Instead he became the focus of Umbric’s experiments and when the incident on Telogrus Rift occurred, Meheaaris was forever changed.

       He is now finding a new life with the help of his beloved and the very small number of people he trusts. Mehe finds comfort and solace in the small garden he is cultivating behind the cottage he and his mate live in in Elwynn Forest. The search for his past continues.

Wings

   “Just focus on your friend there. Remember what he did.” With that, he gave her a not so gentle shove from the roof. She started to tumble, falling to the water. She frantically waved her arms. No wait..that’s wrong, she reminded herself. What did he tell me? The water was coming up to greet her quickly as she scrambled to remember his instructions. 

    “Like you are swimming! Tindo! You’re all right! Like you’re swimming!” Forosuul’s voice cut through her fear. She looked over and saw him, flying downward alongside her. A white raven with a splash of red on the back of his neck at the tip of his large curved beak. He curved around her, exposing the brilliant red feathers on his chest. His eyepatch over his right eye was just barely visible amongst the shining feathers. 

   He’s a raven too? she thought to herself. She took a deep breath and pushed her wings down and around, creating the soft, gentle circles their instructor had shown her. It took her a few tries, but she slowed her descent. She managed it a few yards before hitting the water. Her heart was slamming against her chest, but she started to feel in control as she slowly rose.

Nevon’s Duty

  Hello everyone! Today we are going to meet a very unusual character, and one of the most recent additions to The Brigade. This mysterious and undoubtedly ancient Nightborne astromancer is known only as Lady Nevon. She is a sole survivor of a curse, that affected a small island called Nevon. 

  The Curse of Darkness caused its inhabitants to live in a nightmarish state, forever caught in between being awake and asleep. Experiencing everything around as if dreamed through a nightmare, the world colorless, soundless, tasteless and joyless. Origins of the curse are shrouded in mystery, but over the millennia, nearly all of the island’s inhabitants succumbed to the dreadful state. All but a few who held on and hoped for a rescue, instead of passing on willingly, to escape their dreadful fate. 

  The Brigade stumbled upon the island by chance, during some marine exploration. It took them more than a year to break the curse, facing grave dangers and expending significant resources in the process. Once broken, the curse released Lady Nevon, and a handful of sentient undead from its clutches, returning them to the ‘real’ world. 

  Here we see Lady Nevon, a gifted and powerful astromancer making sure that our good old Azeroth does not fall apart. Have no fear, she will make sure the Sun will rise again. 

TODAY, THIS EXACT DAY: NOVEMBER 2, 2018

HECTOR RIVERA RETURNS TO THE LAND OF THE LIVING FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 97 YEARS.

(CONFIRMED BY DIRECTOR)

REBLOG THIS POST AND CELEBRATE BECAUSE THIS DAY ONLY COMES ONCE

Erika Sanada, New Works, at Antler Gallery.

Currently on view at Antler Gallery in Portland, Oregon is a brand new body of work from artist Erika Sanada.

From the gallery: “Erika’s ceramic creatures are fantastically bizarre, evoking both pity and disquiet. Her delicate color palette paints the animals as young, innocent beings. Their pastel and milky white skin with pale pink eyelids and noses suggest that they are new to their surreal world, unprotected and helpless. Although outfitted with claws, teeth, & golden horns, they are hairless, naked and vulnerable, defenseless against outside forces of nature and emotion. There is an intense sadness to their relationships with themselves, and one another.”

The sculptures will be on view until November 19th, 2018.

Oils - 20” x 16”

So, It’s my first time uploading a story written by myself (Its one of my favourite things besides drawing.) And I am still a bit nervous about it, because english isn’t my motherlanguage. >3<

Tho, I am still happy to be able to share this story I wrote for my dear friend @drew-winchester ! <3 It’s about Rey and Neville. 

A couple i really care a lot ! <3

Holding an orange flower in his hands, Neville stood in front of Rey’s house.  He couldn’t have imagined taking such a huge step, gathering his courage and inviting his best friend to… a „date“

Again and again he stood on his left leg, then his right one and back on his left one. He was very nervous, and it was obvious at first glance.

He always tried his best to make everything as perfect as possible for his best friend.  Often he would lay awake in his bed at night, thinking about her and could not find sleep.

“I-I hope …” he whispered to himself, looking again and again at the flower he held in his sweaty hands.

They had been friends for a long time, had developed relatively strong feelings for each other over time, but kept it secret while they were both at Hogwarts.

Suddenly the big wooden front door of the house opened.  "Oh! Neville!” it was Rey’s brother, who looked him right in the eye.

“Y-yes, I am…  here… to..“ Neville stuttered, simply unable to find the right words.

“You want to go to my sister, right?”  he said and his smile changed to a more serious look.

She was his sister and he always cared for her, but Sam also knew that Neville never had anything bad in mind, especially when it came to Rey.

„Yes!“ Neville said immediately.

„I know, I know..“ said Sam and led the shy boy into the house.

Neville looked nervously around in the house, recognized the medals her brothers must have won at the quidditch games, then he went straight to the door behind which Rey’s room was.

Slowly he raised his hand and wanted to knock but he hesitated for a moment.

Why was he so nervous?

Was it the fear of losing her completely as a good friend,… because the love stood in the way?

Neville shook those negative feelings and thoughts away, gathered again his courage and finally knocked on her door.

„R-rey” he asked shyly, grabbed the handle of the door, pressed it down slowly and looked into the room.

Rey sat on her chair, her arms on the table and her head on her arms.

Carefully he crept into the room, closed the door behind him and walked towards Rey.

“Hey, dear?” he whispered and bent forward.  He realized she must have fallen asleep.

Laying his hand gently on her back, he felt her pleasant warmth and her breathing, which made him smile happily.

However, when he tried to turn around to get a chair, he noticed a drawing lying on the table.

Carefully, he reached for the thin sheet of paper and examined every single line.

“Wow…” he said with big eyes. Amazed by the drawing, he realized how much effort she must have put into it and therefore fell asleep on the spot.

Neville was speechless, so he took the chair and sat down next to his best friend. He looked at her soft face, her long and brown hair which falls down until the floor.

Suddenly she started to move.

“h-huh…?” muttered Rey who still seemed very sleep-drunk.

As she looked around, she recognized Neville next to her.

“Oh God!  Neville!  I-I am so sorry, I haven’t forgotten our date, I-”

“No, no.” he whispered gently and put a strand of hair behind her ear.

“There is no reason to apologize, it is all… wonderful,” he said and smiled at her, a smile full of love.

“But…” Rey was about to say and turned to face him. Neville took her soft hands into his and placed a kiss on them.

“You’ve gone through much trouble, you’ve been awake for so long …”

Rey at first did not understand what he meant, but then saw the drawing she had done all night and then looked back at Neville.

“You…you saw it…”

“Yes, and I love it.  No one.. did this for me before, has taken so much time for me as you have. And invested so much love.”

Rey noticed that he was clearly touched.  He let go off her hands, put his hands on her cheeks and kissed her gently on her pink lips.

She was still a bit tired, but returned the kiss very lovingly and put her arms around his neck.

After a few minutes they interrupted the kiss to get some air.

"I would do anything for you and beyond” said Neville.

With big eyes and blushed cheeks she looked into his eyes.

Neville returned the look, because it took a moment for him to realize what he just said to her, and then turned his head to the side.

„Hey… hey…“ said Rey in a soft voice and turned his face back to her.

"I would do the same for you, Neville. I love you.”

Neville smiled, took her rather small body into his arms.

“I love you too.”

Rey put her arms around his chest and noticed the flower on the table.

„Thank you” she whispered and buried her face in his chest afterwards.

Redd Walitzki’s “The Midsommar Dream” at Haven Gallery.

Currently on view at Haven Gallery in New York City is artist Redd Walitzki’s solo exhibition, “The Midsommar Dream.”

From the artist’s website: “The visionaries and dreamers that make up the cast of Redd Walitzki’s The Midsommar Dream all inhabit this twilight realm between darkness and light. These lush paintings were inspired by the misty forests and folktales Redd encountered during an Artist Residency in Finland, and feel as if perched on the brink between our world and a land of shadow and myth. In folk magic Midsommar was a very potent night where the veil between worlds is thinner, and will-o’-the-wisps and other magic creatures may be summoned deep within the woods. The sylphic figures in these paintings wield this power, or perhaps the inner power that comes from deeper psychic states and visions.”

The exhibition will be on view until October 27th, 2018.
