Okay, today I wanted to mess around with some old black and white photos. You know, the famous ones. I’ve always been curious about how they were made back in the day, and I figured I’d try to recreate some of that magic myself. Getting Started First, I got to collect a bunch of old black and white photos. I just went online and looked up some of the most iconic ones. You got your classic shots like the sailor kissing the nurse in Times Square, the construction workers eating…

Okay, so I’ve been getting into this whole symbols and their meanings thing lately, and let me tell you, it’s been a wild ride. Today, I dived deep into the spiritual meaning of the sword. Yeah, the sword! That thing you see in all those old-timey movies and fantasy books. Turns out, it’s way more than just a weapon. First off, I started by looking at what people have thought about swords throughout history. I mean, these things have been around forever, right? Kings carried them, knights fought with them,…

Okay, so, I got really into this whole medieval thing lately. It all started with a game, and then I just fell down a rabbit hole of history stuff. Today, I’m gonna tell you about my little project: making medieval undergarments for men. Yeah, you heard that right – underwear from the Middle Ages! First off, I had to figure out what they even wore back then. Turns out, it wasn’t much. We’re talking about two main things: braies and under tunics. Think of them as the boxers and undershirts…

OK, so the title of today’s post is “What Do Demons Want?” Sounds wild, right? I really wanted to figure this out. So I started digging around, trying to piece together what these spooky beings are all about. What really got me going was when I found this quote that said, “Maybe he can’t take your life, but he will try and make your life a living hell while you’re on earth.” That sent shivers down my spine, man! I started my little experiment by really immersing myself in all…

Hey everyone, I’ve been digging into the life of Napoleon lately, specifically focusing on him at age 16. It’s a pretty interesting period, and I wanted to share what I’ve been up to and what I’ve found. So, I started by just trying to get a general overview of Napoleon’s early life. You know, the basic stuff like where he was born, his family, and his early education. Turns out, he was born in 1769 in Corsica, and he was the fourth of eleven kids. Imagine that family dynamic! Then,…

Okay, so let me tell you about this little experiment I did, which I like to call “Alice vs Wonderland.” It all started when I was reading the classic story, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, and then watched the movie. They’re both about this girl, Alice, who ends up in some seriously weird places, but they’re different, you know? I started by diving into the book. I read it cover to cover, highlighting the parts that really stood out. It was written way back in 1865, so the language was a…

So, I’ve been messing around with this idea of “Lost Generation” poems lately, and it’s been a wild ride. It all started when I stumbled upon this poem by a guy named Jonathan Reed. I heard that he won second place in some contest with it back in 2007, or something like that. Apparently, it went viral. I didn’t pay much attention to it back then. I decided to give it a shot myself. First, I looked up what this Reed guy was all about. Turns out, his poem, “The…

Okay, so the other day, I was messing around with art stuff, and I decided to take a closer look at Francisco Goya’s “Witches’ Flight.” I’ve always been kind of intrigued by Goya’s darker works, and this one is a real doozy. It’s one of those paintings that just sticks with you, you know? First off, I pulled up a bunch of images of the painting online. Man, it’s even creepier when you zoom in on the details. The painting shows these three figures, supposed to be witches, kind of…

Alright, folks, gather ’round, because today I’m gonna share my experience playing “Battalion: War of the Ancients”. Now, I’d heard some buzz about this game showing up at Essen Spiel, and I gotta say, I was curious. A war game that’s quick and easy to get into? Sign me up! So, first thing I did was hunt down some more info about this game. Turns out it is this tile-based war game where you gotta, you know, put your armies together and keep things in line. Sounds simple enough, right?…

Okay, here is a blog post about creating figure artwork, written in the style you requested: So, I’ve been messing around with this whole art thing for a while now, and I gotta say, drawing people is tough! But I’ve been practicing, and I wanted to share some of the stuff I’ve picked up along the way. It’s not perfect, but hey, we all start somewhere, right? Getting Started First off, I grabbed a bunch of paper and some pencils. Nothing fancy, just regular stuff you can find anywhere. I…
