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

Drewly: Mehrunes Razor

 Mehrune's Razor

Mehrune’s Razor: Mehrune’s slaying dagger that is sent into the hands of mortals again and again to sow discord and wreak havoc. The most recent rumors of this dagger say the Dragonborn gathered up its pieces after it was ritualistically shattered and hidden across Skyrim.

I drew this when the Oblivion Remaster was released, but I didn’t yet have a way to play it. That has been rectified, and I have been playing way too much Oblivion than I probably should have.

Drewly day 5 is the last item from The Elder Scrolls. Check in tomorrow for something new.

Drewly: Dwemer Battle Axe

 Dwemer Battle Axe

Dwemer Battle Axe: Morrowind had a wonderfully unique artistic style. Each type and material of equipment felt distinct and recognizable. The circular silhouette of the dwemer battle axe has been stuck in my mind for the last 20 years.

I will always remember spending way too long looking for the Dwemer Puzzle box in Arkngthand. I searched high and low through that dwarven ruin only to find the box on a shelf in a room near the entrance. I also found a bunch of dwarven arms and armor, including this amazing battle axe.

Four days into drewly. Tomorrow is an iconic item from Tamriel, and after that, we will explore other drawing projects I have running.
