A MISTAKE IN THE WORLD

”I watched The Fellowship of the Ring yesterday.” ”Okay?” //
”And I noticed something I hadn’t before: griffins.” //
”In the battle at the end, by those reins, there are griffin statues.” //
”Is it a problem? I thought you liked griffins.” ”Yes, but they don’t belong to Middle-earth. You see…” //
”…griffins, centaurs and fauns come from Greek mythology. Middle-earth with its dwarfs and dragons is based on Scandinavian folklore.” //
”I’ve even heard that Tolkien even criticized C.S.Lewis when he mixed griffins, dwarfs, fauns and dragons in his Narnia series. There surely are no griffins in Tolkien’s Middle-earth!” //
”Maybe the filmmakers just weren’t as particular about this as you and J.R.R.” ”They SHOULD have been!”

Musta kuin sieluni

DARK AS MY SOUL

Random lohikäärmeotus on random. Saatte sen kaupanpäällisiksi kun viime torstaina ei ollut päivitystä koska blogisysteemi bugasi.
Random dragon creature is random. You get it as an extra since there wasn’t anything on Thursday as the blog was not working.

”We are making a customer study regarding food. Could we maybe interview you?” ”Sure.” //
”What is your favorite type of chocolate?” ”Dark.” //
”And your favorite candy?” ”Salty liquoirice.” //
”What type of tea do you prefer to drink?” ”Black.” //
”What kind of bread do you eat the most?” ”Rye bread.” //
”Are you… just answering the darkest possible option every time?” ”…not on purpose.”

Siksi se oli kivikausi

THE RULE OF ROCK

”Brother Hurg, it is time to go hunt mammoths.” ”Who’s turn is it to be the bait?” //
”Let us decide by playing the rock game.” ”Good idea.” //
1…2…3…now! //
”Rock.” ”I’ve got rock as well. Let’s try again.” //
1…2…3…now! ”Rock.” ”Rock.” //
1…2…3…now! ”Rock.” ”Rock.” //
1…2…3…now! ”Rock.” ”Argh, a tie again!” //
”Brother Hurg, it seems our society still needs to achieve certain technological achievements before we can develop our democratic decision making.” ”What are you talkin’ about, man?”

Togruta vai twi’lek?

TOGRUTA OR TWI’LEK?

Lumppari näytti minulle @savvyart’in syyskuulle tekemän Star Wars -piirustushaasteen, johon muutoin en vaivautunut osallistumaan, mutta prompti ”togruta vai twi’lek?” innosti minut piirtämään alla olevan. (Niille, jotka eivät tiedä: togrutat ja twi’lekit ovat molemmat humanoidilajeja Star Warsin maailmassa, ja tämä hahmo on kyseisten lajien risteymä. Oikeasti en tiedä, voivatko twi’lekit ja togrutat risteytyä, eikä tällä minun hahmollani ole nimeä tai taustatarinaa, mutta kuvan piirtäminen on hauskaa.)
Snowhorse showed my a drawing challenge by @savvyart. I didn’t bother participating otherwise but the prompt ”togruta or twilek?” inspired me to draw this one. (For those not in the know: togrutas and twi’leks are humanoid species in the Star Wars galaxy, and this character is a mix between those two. I don’t know is twi’leks and togrutas can mix and this character doesn’t have a name or any story but it was fun to draw her regardless.)

AN ONION TRICK

”Snif!” ”?” //
”Everything okay? Why are you crying?” //
”It’s nothing, just the onions.” //
”You should keep water in your mouth when you’re cutting onions. It prevents your eyes from burning.” //
”A peculiar idea, but I can give it a try next time I’m cooking.” ”You do that!” //
A couple of days later… ”Oh yeah, the water-in-mouth thing!” //
”Glug glug!” //
”Okay, this feels dumb. And I don’t know why but… this is working!”

CONNECTIONS

”I found a list of the worst jargon words. They were terrible. My favorite one was ’vertical upright connection’.” //
”Like… it’s kinda a tautology in itself. ’Vertical’ means upright!” //
”And do you know what a ’vertical upright connection’ means? An ELEVATOR.” //
”Would the opposite of that be something like a ’horizontal level connection’?” ”You mean, like… a ROAD?” //
”Or one of those moving walkways they have on airports?” ”Yeah, that.” //
”And then there’s of course a ’diagonal’… uhm…” ”Slanted?” ”Yes, a ’diagonal slanted connection’.” //
”And what would that be?” ”STAIRS.” ”A master level in useless jargon achieved.”

CREATURE

Joskus on vain hauskaa piirtää ja värittää jänniä olentoja ilman mitään kummempaa suunnitelmaa.
Sometimes it’s just fun to draw and color weird creatures with no particular plan.
