After making my way through Mistborn era 1 again, I hope to make a few more character pieces for it… and fashion ideas. The textile patters came from musing what would patterns would be made from in a world that forgot what flowers are.
I shall die, but that is all that I shall do for Death. I hear him leading his horse out of the stall; I hear the clatter on the barn-floor. He is in haste; he has business in Cuba, business in the Balkans, many calls to make this morning. But I will not hold the bridle while he clinches the girth. And he may mount by himself: I will not give him a leg up.
Though he flick my shoulders with his whip, I will not tell him which way the fox ran. With his hoof on my breast, I will not tell him where the black boy hides in the swamp. I shall die, but that is all that I shall do for Death; I am not on his pay-roll.
I will not tell him the whereabout of my friends nor of my enemies either. Though he promise me much, I will not map him the route to any man’s door. Am I a spy in the land of the living, that I should deliver men to Death? Brother, the password and the plans of our city are safe with me; never through me Shall you be overcome.
New skill: UNLOCKED. I now can properly build with watercolors. i think. maybe. I’d have to try again and see. I like the treetops, anyhow. :)
You can tell I got lost at the tree bottoms and the ground because it is muddy, lacking depth, and lacking the range of values that I originally intended. Alas, once the paint’s on the paper. *shakes head* Nah man, it’s done, can’t go back. May attempt tweaking it in a digital drawing program.
