I modeled/rigged/animated my mage jackalope character, Borel! I really wanted to include the yoyo too, I put a lot of time and effort into it and I'm really happy with how it came out!! 🪀🐰🌠
(I was just trying to find the date in which Borel left for Algeria, found a masterclass in opinions being presented as facts by encyclopedia britannica)
his proud and touchy nature of ?? trying to counteract colonialism? This is what José Javier Fuente del Pilar has to say about it:
(…) he allows Gautier to find a post for him as inspector of colonization in Mostaganem, Algeria. As Rimbaud would later, he chooses the path of exile; flees from the metropolis to try and rebuild his life. This proved to be a futile attempt. His relentless criticism of the french colonization methods got him immediately fired. He would end up suffering deprivations (He thought it normal to starve, said Gautier) and in misery, without a franc in his pocket or a job he could do, he decides to work the land as a farm laborer. One day, while working on the fields, heatstroke killed him, but he actually died of himself. I will not cover my head; Nature does what she does well, and it is not our affair to correct her. If my hair falls that means now my forehead is made to remain naked, he had written years before. Nature, his ally beat him in Mostaganem, Algeria in July, 1859.
