A digital painting of a vast underground dungeon lain with greyish-blue bricks, ornamented stones and pillars. The main walkways are raised above a lava chamber and covered in fine red carpet with gold embroidery. It is a maze-like ruin with paths and stairways leading left and right to various walkways and doorways. The scene is lit by hanging metal chandeliers clasping large illuminated crystals. The main hall leads back to a raised portcullis, behind which is a winding hallway that twists as if the fabric of space has warped. There are elegant vases on either side of the stone rails bordering the entryway to the main chamber. One vase has been knocked over and shattered open, and you can see rats scurrying about among the gold pieces and ruby fragments that were once inside. Pillars more than twenty feet tall line the main hall, and a strange maze-like rune lies on the floor before a parapet with triangular openings which leads down to the molten lava. Bats are circling and swooping through the scene, no doubt due to your disturbance in this long forgotten tomb. Artifacts, gold and magic are abound in this deep, forgotten place. The pathway left leads to a short staircase guarded by gargoyles, which leads up to a raised stone basin or platform surrounded by a circle of pillars. There is a decorative red cloth draped through the hall high on the pillars, which leads to this platform and marking it with some significance. On a red stone pedestal lies a gauntlet surrounded by flames. This is clearly an item of incredible power. The right path from the center hall leads over path with the statue of a knight standing on a pedestal, guarding a short pillar which is holding a red potion bottle. The end of that path is marked by a tomb with a cross before a stairway leading to multiple doorways. Clearly there is much to explore here, do you dare to continue? Or turn back for fear of what you might learn? I chose to keep exploring, until this painting was complete.
A closeup of the raised stone basin or platform on the left side of the scene. Here you can see the fiery gauntlet, in all of its glory. Magic particles float through the scene, and bats circle and swoop furiously around the pillars surrounding the platform.
A closer view of the upper left part of the main chamber. Here you can see the tops of the blue pillars are decorated with the face of what looks like a woman. The pillar in the foreground has a crystal in the forehead of the being which is illuminated, and a mysterious red liquid drips from the closed eyes of the face almost like tears. You can see the details of the metal chandeliers, and crystalline lighting. Cob webs are strewn through the scene and spread from the chandeliers over the decorative cloth that is draped across the ceiling and pinned above the pillars by gold medallions. Bats can be seen hanging below the overhang, and around the tops of the pillars throughout the hall.
On the right side of the scene we see a path guarded by a knight's statue standing on a round pedestal. There is a short pillar behind the statue, which holds a red bottle of some kind. The end of the path is marked by a tomb bearing a cross, and lies before a stairway which leads up to a raised path that leads left and right to even more doorways.
I've seen artists sharing their most detailed work lately so here is mine. This is one piece that I spent over 100 hours on.
I could write a short book on all the things I learned while painting this. For example: sometimes less is more, and more is just too much. But that's better than not enough.

It seems like the natural progression for highly sensitive people is to eventually get into nutrition and herbalism cause modern medicine doesnt do anything for us.
Happy Lunar New Year!!

Like, if everyone stopped participating in colonial made structures, everyone benefits. But some of you are awfully comfortable and never question who pays for your comfort.

Hear me out, what if we just operate outside of these corrupt systems?
You can become disabled or homeless in an instant.
Even if youβre young and healthy.
Even if you have a βgood jobβ and a back up plan.
Even if you think youβre doing everything right.
Disability and poverty are not moral failings.
They can happen to anyone.
I love LOVE that my socials are flooded with resources for building a safer world for women as collective responsibility AND the 4B movement.

I have been working as a full-time creative for a month now. I haven't made much, but allowing myself to indulge in full creative expression without pressuring myself to profit has been truly liberating.
I just deleted my tik tok account. I wasn't really using it outside of watching vids friends send me, but since learning that Oracle bought the app, there was really no reason to continue watching any content on there. All my fave creators have diversified platforms anyways. I'm freeeeee ππ½

I totally should. π€ I was interviewed by the organization that designated the college, and they gave me a student support number. I will definitely ask them what more I can do right now.
I contacted my province about it and was given an "oh well, thats too bad".
I was entitled to a scholarship and my now former college never submitted the enrolment confirmation needed for the application. I just found out about it today when I was checking my student aid disbursements.
