Got a backlog of art that I've made at work as a result of practicing my skills in graphical design that I thought I may as well post, else they would just collect dust in my folders.

"Today was an extraordinary day!
Following our successful disembarking upon Abahoo island, Miss Lindston and I prepared for the most difficult endeavour of locating the, so far, uncontacted indigenous Gdula people which, according to our sources, could take days, if not weeks to track down, masters of their own territory that they are. However, by fortune or misfortune, depending on who you inquire, we did not need to.
They entered upon our camp first! One head emerged out of the foliage initially, then three more. A scouting or hunting party, perhaps?
While we had hoped our presence would not have been known as to not evoke conflict or chaos, it evidently appears their tracking is vastly superior to ours. They must have followed us since we got here.
They are truly a remarkable people. They may not speak the lord's word but they are positively brimming with curiosity about the way we dress, our strange fabric tents and no less our peculiar and unusual appearance.
Even as I write this log, one is observing my documentation over my shoulder. I fail to ascertain what he is fixated upon, specifically. It must all look so unbelievably foreign to him.
I suspect Ms. Lindston won't be getting her hat back!

This is a really cool idea, and really wonderful, enchanting moment, because an explorer would be just as curious and fascinated by them. If those feelings are mutual, then it's like a dream come true. The explorers look nervous by the encounter, but I would have guessed it's actually a great feeling of excitement to be coming so close (to be the ones approached even), and that it's going so well, which the log seems to reflect. Very beautifully illustrated. Also, very convincing job on the log with all the contemporary and academic terminology.
H'aw, goodness. Such praise! Tremendously much obliged.
One of my favorite hypothetical scenarios have always been a friendly/curious interaction between two wildly different cultures. There's something inherently heartwarming and hopeful about it. This has been one of my all-time favorite pieces I've made so far. Thank you for giving it such recognition~
I really tried taking my time with the log. I wanted it to sound genuine and create an added layer of immersion by evoking certain emotions, just like with the other backlog pictures I uploaded. I'm really trying to develop my literary skills, since i enjoy worldbuilding so much!

I agree, it’s a lovely idea, and your depiction of it came out beautiful… I think you're doing very well so far. I'm not a professional myself, but like I said; this sample is very persuasive writing to me. I do get the sense it's a scientist who's trying to record events formally, dispassionately "as they should", but can't contain their elation. It’s great that you can add to this idea in words; to express in ways drawing can’t always accomplish. I'm honestly impressed, because illustrating or writing; it's so difficult to be great at just one of those skills. A person usually has to trade one for the other. Yet your illustrating “as demonstrated here”, I think is already top notch (you have my envy, to be honest) XD So on top of that, it's reasonably impressive what potential your writing shows so far. I think you can do it; that you can master both if you try, and I wish you well to do so.
