Mondays…..don’t you hate them?

Woke up this morning with back pain and an email from the boss asking for several new “family” sketches for the ads the NGO is doing…..sigh.

There goes my week ……

At least I got this done.

Doing some dusting up and a few sketches.

Damn. It’s been awhile since I posted. The honest truth is that I was burned out with work and real life hassles.

Can’t promise constant updates but I won’t be silent.

Meanwhile here are some art I’ve been able to do.

We must always show love to our special children, sisters and brothers whom we have responsibility to care for. May we have the strength to keep them safe and well. #cerebralpalsyawareness #cerebalpalsy #cerebralpalsynigeria #naijadrawings #art #benolacpi #childhooddisability #sketch #drawing #disabilityadvocate #drawings https://www.instagram.com/p/CnxV43Vrkkp/?igshid=NDdhMjNiZDg=

Dwarven Golem Pregnancy Protocol.

On the other hand, I had a scene in mind.
You have a dude in slumber.
Flashes of memory tell of him being a noble who was shamed. To atone for such shame he became a warrior.
And when war occured he lead his elite squad to multiple victories….but the enemy would not let that be.
An attack on their visit to the border towns was overwhelming….he had no choice but to buy time for the townspeople’s evacuation…..and was brutally beaten and captured.
His team came to rescue him but the enemy had fused his body to a tree….making conventional escape impossible. His team mates however were not here on a conventional rescue mission……and he awakens.
Finding himself in a sticky gooish chamber, he swims towards the light and with great effort drags himself out of the jelly like substance.
He groans in pain as he pulls out a tube from his throat and rips out the several needles in his back hands and feet.
Rolling to a sitting position he realises that his originally caramel skin is now a dull grey….the color of a synthetic…synth for short.
He looks to the chamber he came out of to see a giant plump female dwarven golem kneeling in front of him with a gap in her large stomach….where he had crawled out of.
Crawling towards a nearby monitor, he reads the details, basically his brain and central nervous system were harvested from his original body and implanted into a manufactured synth body and he had been put in hiding when the base had been attacked. The golem had escaped and found a safe hideout to continue it’s ……pregnancy protocol.

Guardian Angel

Heyo had a friend of mine do a concept of an angel for me.

And I redrew her concept. I think it went well.

Radra’s Musings 01

One thing that I’ve always thought about was the fact that while hardliners, creatives, dreamers and revolutionaries all have their faults…. The one of the real issues tends to be those folks who simply want power…they don’t have any dreams nor ambitions other than having that power.
They corrupt organisations, break dreams and make flawed ideas actually evil.
It’s not a big problem when they at least have a love for what they want power over…..
But they usually don’t.
Thus they end up breaking the fragile systems that keep us from going back to Monke.
How do we deal with folks like this? Honestly by being more involved in the things we love and care about. Even if we can’t stop them from getting into power, can make sure they do the job they are supposed to ..

Earth Idolia

Number 3 of the Idolia series.

Earth….The mother. The one that supplies everything we use, from food, to concrete to even humans….all things, all of us come from the earth. It can be said to be the material from with everything is made.

Earth is resilient, tough and durable. It is dependable, stable and as unchanging as anything can be….

However Earth can be stubborn and  restrictive needing particular methods/skills to soften or break it into something useful.

Let us be strong like the earth, yet not be too stubborn against new things/ideas.

Idolia series 3: Wind Idolia

Idolia series number 3:

Wind.

Wind is the breath of life, Wind carries our voices and helps us to communicate with each other. Wind is one of the original powers of the world helping birds to fly, boats to sail, and certain animals to glide. Wind  also does a lot of damage, rips and tears at whatever isn’t secured to the earth.

Wind is also change…..the ability to adapt to situations and people. It is also the ability to accept these changes and flow with them.

Move like the Wind…..

Part two of my Idolia series.Fire, it is life, passion, hunger, zest….It’s the fuel that pushed humanity from the treetops to the industrial age.Fire has the ability to forge one from one form to another, to purify materials and cleanse them of impurities and to bring out the best in people and things.However fire is a cruel teacher and an even worse master. It devours, scars and destroys whatever it has free rein to. Thus fire must be dominated and focused with care and recision to bring about what we desire.#digitaldrawing #sketch #drawing #cuteart #africanart #fire #elemental #cartoon #anime #art #digitalart #artexcercise

Idolia series 1: Water

Finally after a long absence, I’ve finished a new art series. The concept behind these series are my idea on guardian elemental spirits created to protect clans, villages and even cities from invasions…  They are powerhouses and the best defense that can be created by mortals. And I start with one that’s good for Saturday.
Water, the soothing element, the element that pretty much keeps us alive.

It’s very very important so to say….

Water is also seen to flow around stuff going the path of least resistance however, water also does a lot of damage, grinds and wears away at things and always finds a way through.

Thus while water is kind, malleable, healing and nonconfrontational, it can be absolutely wrathful and persistent.

Flow like water……
