Quiet. Aside from rustling caused by spring wind, and a lone bird's song, nothing really disturbs this secluded pond. Perfect place to come and sit when you're feeling down and overwhelmed, but...what is this shadow moving under the surface of water?

Well... First upload in...uh....two months. I'm still not done with all the crap I have to deal with but I'm near the end of it all, I think.

I'm finishing my bachelor's thesis, probably in the next few days. I believe it only needs one more correction and that'll be done. Next is university stuff which I am a bit worried about but nothing too bad, and after that I just need to pass the normal classes which will be a breeze once my brain rests a bit.

I have plenty of quick sketches that I did in the meantime. I haven't drawn at all otherwise. This is one of them that I literally did today after I returned home from university. It's a small teaser for one of the upcoming characters that I have in mind, but I just have a concept. honestly it was just an excuse to do the background, lmao. I have no actual knowledge of painting so it's very amateurish, but I like it. It pretty much looks like what I sometimes used to do in traditional art with pencils only. It was fun! Got to experiment with brushes and values a bit too, so a nice small practice.


Yes, that's a mystical water halo.
