Drewly: A long distance from a cigarette

 A long distance from a cigarette

Cigarette Extender: Are you a class lady in the Gilded Age who is trying to discreetly cast a spell at this soire? Use this cigarette extender as your wand. No one will bat an eye if they see you shaking your cigarette at someone across the room; they will just think you are gossiping while you are really cursing them with ill fortune.

Distance can be physical space, but it can also be time. I haven’t smoked in 12 years as of tomorrow, and that is pretty cool.

I debuted my wands project in Drewly 2022, and it continues to grow whenever I think, “Oh, that would be a fun wand for some strange mage.”

Drewly: Obelisk

 Obelisk

Obelisk: An iconic piece of ancient Egyptian architecture, associated with the sun god Ra.

Drewly today is the first drawing from the Standing Stones project. I posted them in reverse order to get my Miscast fanboy post out as soon as possible. Other standing stones that I’ve drawn outside of this project are the summoning stone from World of Warcraft and the place of power stone from The Witcher 3.

Drewly: Henge Stones

Henge Stones

Henge Stones: A set of standing stones based on a photo of Stonehenge.

In googling this, henges are only defined as circular earthworks rather than anything to do with stone circles or other lithic monuments.

The more you know.

I’ve always been fascinated by standing stones, so I started drawing them. They are definitely outside my comfort zone, but it is good to pursue uncomfortable projects that excite you to grow your skills.

Drewly: Hoodoo

 Hoodoo

Hoodoo: These naturally occurring rock pillars are one of the many amazing things I saw visiting the National Parks of the American Southwest.

National Parks are more important than the comfort of the rich. Fund the parks. Enjoy the rock and the heavy-handed politicizing for drewly today.

Drewly: Father’s Ancestor Stone

 Father’s Ancestor Stone

Father’s Stone: An ancestor stone guarding the Heart of Atlantis.

I was watching Atlantis: The Lost Empire, like I do at least once a year, and I thought, “I could draw that.” Unfortunately, I really hate this finished drawing, but it is done and posted and off my mind.

Drewly isn’t about loving everything you’ve done, but it is about celebrating what you have accomplished. I finished this drawing, and I moved on.

Drewly: Elven Waystone

 Elven Waystone

Elven Waystone: A stone set by a mad wizard to guide explorers through the uncertain lands of creation.

Miscast is, as Trent would put it, a bloody legend.

Everything Trent does is inspiring, and every time he drops a new video, I am immediately inspired to hobby along as I watch, even though I don’t paint minis or make terrain.

Thank you, Trent, for being a pillar of my online joy.

All of that to say, our #drewly post today is fan art of a five-year-old terrain project he made and released a template for, so you too can make it.

The Minish Cap: Rings of Power

 Rings of Power

Power Bracelets: Wearing these bracelets gives Link the strength of a giant while shrunk down to Minish size. Practically, that means Link has his normal-sized strength while shrunk down to Minish proportions. Link must venture into the Minish sanctuary hidden inside the Hyrule Town Fountain to obtain these bracelets.

This matched pair of gold rings was cast by the last great elven smith during the waning of Elvendom. They were made as a proof of concept for the smith’s true masterwork, the rings that would shake the world to its foundation. While they were made as a stepping stone and given no names, the two amplify their wearers’ innate qualities, making heroes more heroic and villains more villainous.

----------

This is me shoe-horning more Rings of Power into Tolkien’s Middle-earth. It always bothered me that Tolkien didn’t use the first five prime numbers for his Rings of Power sets, so here I am adding the 2 and just imagining there are five dwarven lords and seven kings of men.

Drewly today is my normal weekly item card post, where I post drawings inspired by all the items in all the Zelda games. I am currently posting the items from The Minish Cap. I’ve got complete sets for the first 11 Zelda games and a bunch of other item sets already posted here: https://thespeakingsquid.blogspot.com/search/label/Collected
