The Minish Cap: Blueberries

 Blueberries

Blue Picolyte: Picolytes are consumable supplements that grant a brief boost to the chance for finding  various items based on which picolyte is eaten. Blue picolyte increases Link’s chances of finding items such as bombs and arrows. Link can only purchase blue picolyte after clearing the carpet in Hyrule Town for Beedle and bringing Mt.Crenel mineral water to the Minish researcher studying the Pico bloom plant. 

These are just really nice blueberries. In a world of poised apples, dragon hoards, and destined heroes, a couple of fine berries don’t seem important enough to warrant a second thought. It is their mundanity that makes them so special, a perfectly ordinary thing amidst the supernatural and unexplainable.

I’m not sure if this drawing needed the leaves, but they are there and there is nothing to be gained by editing something so minor.

Jackie Chan Adventures Collected

 Jackie Chan Adventures Collected

The complete set of cards I drew of the talisman from Jackie Chan Adventures.  

I deeply enjoyed drawing this set. I loved earnestly sitting with my nostalgia to make something entirely for me.

I may come back eventually and draw the Pan’Ku box, oni masks, or other artifacts, but for now I am content with my set.

If I had all the time, space, and money, I would love to have a vast collection of interesting things like Adam Savage or Guillermo Del Toro, but as I am limited, I instead make collections of drawings. This keeps my hoard economical from a space and a cost perspective. I do spend a lot of time on these projects, but I enjoy the process of creation more than having the final product, so the investment of time is worth it.

I wanted to add the twelve talismans to my collection, so I made them for me. If you’d like to have them as well, you can find them here (pay what you want) or here ($3).

You can also get a sticker of your favorite talisman here.

Jackie Chan Adventures: Tiger Talisman

 Tiger Talisman

Tiger Talisman: The power of the tiger talisman is the power of spiritual balance. When taken alone, the talisman can break a being apart into their equal but opposite halves. When taken as part of the larger collection of talisman, the tiger allows a user to effectively wield multiple talisman at once.

The Twelve Talismans each hold a power that once belonged to one of the original noble animals that were immortalized in the Chinese zodiac. A demonic sorcerer stole the powers for himself and used them to rule over ancient China. His rule was ended by a master chi wizard who sealed the demon’s spirit in a statue and cast the twelve powers into stone talismans to be scattered across the world.

The Minish Cap: A glowing bamboo shoot

 A glowing bamboo shoot

Fairy: Link can catch fairies in empty bottles found in fairy shrines or discovered in cut grass or broken stones. When Link falls in battle with a fairy still in a bottle, the fairy leaps out of the bottle and heals Link, saving him from death.

A lonely couple living simply as bamboo cutters deep in the mountains always wanted a child, but were never blessed with a one naturally. One day, the bamboo cutters were gathering mature stalks when they spotted a bamboo shoot growing unseasonably late. When they approached the shoot, it opened revealing a baby, answering their prayers for a child with this heavensent foundling.

I rewatched The Tale of Princess Kaguya as a parent for the first time recently and the movie really hit differently. It has been such a gift watching my kid grow up. Now some parts of movies I just watched without connecting to are some of my favorite parts of the story. Small moments of babies being babies or of real moments from parenting really resonate. I love that Ghibli includes these more ground aspects of life in otherwise fantastical tales.

Thankful Thursday

 

Rattle: My kid used to love these rattles and now they never get played with. Such is the irresistible march forward of time.

---------

A friend of mine died over the weekend and I went to their funeral yesterday. They are survived by three young kids and I am deeply saddened as the kids will have to grow up without their parent and the parent will miss all the amazing moments of watching their kids bloom into full amazing people. I’ll miss you friend, and I’m sorry for the incredible loss.

Today, on American Thanksgiving, I am thankful for my family and the immeasurable joy they have allowed me to feel. American Thanksgiving is a complicated holiday, but we can take the day to focus on what we are thankful for.

Be excellent to everyone.

 A simple cup for a carpenter

Mt.Crenel Mineral Water: This verdant mineral water can only be found on Mr. Crenel and is only used to fertilize a special variety of beanstalk that grows on Mt. Crenel. 

Before you is every type of cup you could imagine. How can you hope to find the one true grail hidden among all the choices? The only advice I have to give is, “choose wisely.”

Growing up right as CGI started to look really good, I have sadly watched practical effects dwindle in modern cinema. Some of my favorite effects are the supernatural deaths from the Indiana Jones movies.
