Xcaret Travel Photos Tourism
I wanted to rant about Xcaret Park. It is fun to look at one’s travel photos to remember. This Christmas we are going to be staying at home. The weather and other circumstances do not permit us from going far. Plus, I am in a cozy type of mood. I have everything I need at home. So, there isn’t a big incentive to go out and explore. It probably has something to do with the lockdowns. Folks just got used to being at home all the time. Not that I was a big adventurer back in the day. ...
Ink Art: Red and Gold Christmas Orbs Painting
I made new ink art. I am still doing the Christmas theme. After the 24th, there are not going to be new Christmas themed paintings. There would just be no point to it. I will probably do some fireworks or maybe snowflakes. Who knows? I am just getting ahead of myself. The ink and paper were made by Pixiss. I have gotten a lot of millage from those art supplies. I also made a Tiktok and Youtube video of my artworks. You can check that out if you prefer to see a video. I also photographed the dry...
Cantina Catrina Revisited Foodie Restaurant
Last week, we were in a taco type of mood. So, we went to Cantina Catrina in Dadeland Mall. This restaurant is themed after Dia de lost Muertos. It has a lot of colorful skull people figurines in key locations. I took a photo of their décor for you to admire. At the end of the day, the food is the most important thing to seek in a restaurant. We got a chip appetizer. My mother had a margarita and my brother a Virgin Pina Colada. I had a soda. I ordered Quesadillas, and my family had tacos....
Hollow Knight The Nutcracker Fanart
I did a new Hollow Knight fanart. Before making it, I did a little poll in youtube to decide which characters to draw. The winners of the poll ended up being the Mantis Lords. Since it was Christmas, I chose to make a reference to the Nutcracker. This is the Waltz of the Flowers. The Mantis Lords are dancing this waltz while wearing lovely outfits. I found a good reference photo for this fanart. I think it ended up looking rather cool. The big sister already did her solo. Now, it is time for her twin little sisters...
Titania BJD Doll Fairy in Green Outfit Photoshoot
I did a poll to decided which bjd doll to photograph. The winner of that poll was my lovely blue fairy doll Titania. I made a new background for my fairy doll. I went for a bit of a whimsical, orby look. It wasn’t what I had in mind when I started the painting. Still, I ended up liking the final results. My Titania was made by Doll Chateau. I have about 3 Doll Chateau dolls. Each is more charming than the last. The high heels are part of her body. They are biologically...
