Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, NY Medium: wool, silk
NOTE: These commissions will be offered until 01/01/19
here they are! I know it’s approaching Black Friday and the holiday season, so if your commission is a gift and you want it done before December 25th please let me know before 12/01. (Otherwise it can take me up to a few months to get through my whole queue.)
For these I please ask that you have visual references to send to me. If you’re doing more than a bust you’ll need to have something for their outfit as well! Even just a few samples of something close to what you like is a-ok! (As far as compiling them, when in doubt, imgur works great. Please note what you like about each image:( example)
Please send all commission requests to kiikiibee@gmail.com , with the subject as “winter commission” and please include:
the type of commission you’d like
all reference material
your tumblr/social media site name so I can link back to you!
All prices are in USD and listed for one character, paypal only.
I am good at drawing: *ladies*, fantasy, historical stuff, your tabletop/RP characters I am NOT good at drawing: mechs, robotics, monstrous creatures, super macho guys, crazy complicated weapons
(these are how I support myself and keep a roof over my head, so reblogs are always appreciated!! thank you! <3)
The photo above is the closest humanity has ever come to creating Medusa. If you were to look at this, you would die instantly.
The image is of a reactor core lava formation in the basement of the Chernobyl nuclear plant. It’s called the Elephant’s Foot and weighs hundreds of tons, but is only a couple meters across.
Oh, and regarding the Medusa thing, this picture was taken through a mirror around the corner of the hallway. Because the wheeled camera they sent up to take pictures of it was destroyed by the radiation. The Elephant’s Foot is almost as if it is a living creature.
Friendly reminder that this blob of core material was so hot and dense, it melted/burned through three floors of the building before coming to rest in the lowest basement.
And there’s now a unique species of black mold that feeds off the gamma radiation it produces.
Is no one else seriously freaked out by that mold? No? Just me, then?
A handful of noodles (eg linguine) in your favourite skillet, with two cloves of chopped garlic, water to cover, salt, and a drizzle of oil.
Bring it to a boil and cook until your noodles are just shy of where you like them.
Add lemon zest. Pour off a bit of the cooking water.
Add some ounces of parmigiano, finely grated, and a lot of cracked black pepper. Toss with tongs until the cheese and pasta water are a thin sauce, then toss some more while the sauce reduces.
You’ve made a lemony pasta cacio e pepe, but you don’t have to stop there.
Add the juice of half your lemon, and a big ol’ spoonful of Calabrian explosivo. Mix it up. Stir in as many handfuls of spinach as you can fit in your favourite skillet. Wilt the greens. Salt to taste.
Serve in a bowl. Open a small can of tuna in olive oil over the noodles. Squeeze the other half of the lemon over. Grind more pepper, if you like the snapping sound of it it in the mill.
Eat. You made this out of found objects in your kitchen. It’s delicious. It’s sunny and spicy and green and comforting. You made this. You make things.
