love me a good oc portrait with the rough painting brush and with 'em My-Eyes-Are-Burning™ colors ;v; one of the points was that i wanted the pose to make no sense, then regretted that decision last minute orz with the exception of that, this was super fun c: been meaning to use those blues/purples for a long long time 🥺
While Coriander is used to the heat on Venus, she likes to play with human clothes. Although if it where up to her she wouldn't wear anything, she finds the constraint of covering up with clothes uncomfortable. Luckily humans have an array of clothes to pick from!
The webcomic/graphic novel by ND Stevenson has been adapted into a movie that premiered on June 14, 2023 in France, began releasing in select theaters starting June 23, and will be up for streaming on Netflix on June 30! The movie was originally developed by Blue Sky Studios, but cancelled a few years after the studio was purchased by Disney. It was revived and completed by DNEG, and produced by Annapurna.
Tomorrow will be a week without the crew of the PerAspera. I am unreasonably attached to these characters and miss them horribly. Huge thanks to the crew of Rolling With Difficulty. You are amazing people. Whatever you decide to do next, your listeners will be listening with love.
(Side note: Thursday procreate glitches out on me and I lost this whole piece and had to rebuild it from scratch. Here's to procreate's time lapse video feature and tracing your own work.)
And what's the difference between cilantro and coriander?
Coriander is woman I met in the 1990s. She had the longest fingers I ever saw. Not like with Marfan Syndrome or Congenital Arachnodactyly, but like nine to ten inch long fingers. One day, I saw a seam in her wrist, like her skin was just a suit, she hid it quickly though and I never saw it again. Years after I last saw her, I heard she had been killed by a police officer during a traffic stop but there was no funeral, nor was the cop ever named. All record of her vanished too, like she'd never existed. I met Jesse, a friend who knew her too and he said that when she died, her body fell apart like ash and when it blew away, it caused a storm with huge amounts of thunder-less, soundless lightning. For years after, the grass didn't grow around the whole region, and when it finally did, it was all diseased and gnarled.
Cilantro is a leafy herb, yet is somehow even scarier.
