"Why are you so enchanted by this world? When a mine of gold lies within you?" ~ Rumi

That time when Sansa built a small replica of Winterfell in the snow...before Robin ruined it!

Inktober 7 - Enchanted : copic multiliners and india ink wash...tiny bit of a digital redraw on one of the fairies...

Inspired by one of my cats who is black with bits of tortoiseshell coming through. I used black ink and apricot Crayola crayon for this.

I have been watching The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance so couldn’t help but put little gelflings, oops I mean elflings in there! I am posting daily with Inktober on IG, aiming for an entire Game of Thrones Inktober theme as a final tribute to this award winning drama! You're welcome to check out!: @dittofunkysketch123

Money is bait and we are all after it, some of us more than others.

Nirvana - Heart-Shaped Box

We get so engulfed in social media and the internet that we become mindless to everything around us.

We continue the #inktober environmental issues series with the #day19 word: #scorched and for this word I tried to illustrate the Urban Heat Island effect. This takes place in metropolitan areas that are warmer than the rural areas surrounding them. The main cause of the UHI effect is the alteration of land surfaces (concrete and asphalt). Heat waste produced by people and their tools (like vehicles and industry) is another cause and also the decreased amount of vegetation. UHIs often have lower air and water quality that have a negative effect on the environment of these areas. It is also considered to be a possible contribution to global warming. © Maria!Bălan, 2018

#Swollen is the word for #inktober #day17. Because the city I live in is swollen from cars, buildings, humans, rats, pigeons, dirt and trash I considered the word to be proper for the problem of urbanization. Even if it's a natural transformation, it comes with a lot of issues. I see it as a concrete and steel monster eating the nature that stands in its way. © Maria!Bălan, 2018

For day 15 the inktober word was weak so I decided to approach the subject of hunting for trophies. It is not the animal that's weak it's the human that's cruel. A lot of species become endangered because of our need to kill. We should love and protect all the animals, not put them on walls (real or virtual) only for our pleasure and ego.
