Illustration zur Fabel von Jean de La Fontaine, Dezember 2024

Der Frosch, der groß sein will wie ein Ochse

Ein Frosch sah einen Ochsen gehen.
Wie stattlich war der anzusehen!
Er, der nicht größer als ein Ei, war neidisch drauf,
Er spreizt sich, bläht mit Macht sich auf,
Um gleich zu sein dem großen Tier,
Und rief: »Ihr Brüder achtet und vergleicht!
Wie, bin ich nun so weit? Ach, sagt es mir!« –
»Nein!« – »Aber jetzt?« – »Was denkst du dir!« –
»Und jetzt?« – »Noch lange nicht erreicht!« –
Das Fröschlein hat sich furchtbar aufgeblasen,
Es platzte und verschied im grünen Rasen.

Die Welt bevölkern viele solcher dummen Leute:
Jedweder Bürger möchte baun wie große Herrn,
Der kleine Fürst – er hält Gesandte heute,
Das kleinste Gräflein prunkt mit Pagen gern.


The Frog Who Wished to Be as Big as the Ox

Transleted by Elizur Wright (1804 - 1885)

The tenant of a bog,
An envious little frog,
Not bigger than an egg,
A stately bullock spies,
And, smitten with his size,
Attempts to be as big.
With earnestness and pains,
She stretches, swells, and strains,
And says, 'Sis Frog, look here! see me!
Is this enough?' 'No, no.'
'Well, then, is this?' 'Poh! poh!
Enough! you don't begin to be.'
And thus the reptile sits,
Enlarging till she splits.
The world is full of folks
Of just such wisdom;--
The lordly dome provokes
The cit to build his dome;
And, really, there is no telling
How much great men set little ones a swelling.

:: 47-53 [AL] Winter Weekend ::

Here's a piece following this season's festivities! I've never eaten a Yule Log before, but I do love Swiss rolls.

47-53 [AL] Winter Weekend by EarlyOnion.jpg

This drawing features some of the kiddos from my 'Another Life' story. It's basically a spin-off where all my OCs from all my stories coexist.

From left, kiddos who are present are Shintaro, Sindri, Manel and the ones not facing us is Rosa, Piht, and Rocío. Idun and Thiazi are not here. The one serving the Yule Log is Terenzio. Outside through the window, we can see Adrià (Manel's dad) inviting Shin's parents in (yes, Shin had excitedly run off to see his friends).

None of them have ever seen Yule Log cakes, so it makes one wonder where this could have come from.

And just like with Sugar Skulls, I realised that I failed to make the food item as the focus of the drawing, again. It's in the centre, yes, but kinda small and surrounded by other 'bigger' things. But ehh idk.

P/S: Originally, I was hoping to make a big one featuring my RO duo and my own OCs (the main ones) that might total to 12 or so people; but that was a bit too ambitious and I'm kinda drained from life events. So, I scrapped that idea. :< Yet, here I am drawing a picture that has 10 people. I do not understand my actions, haha. x'D

Kermit in der Campagna / Kermit in the Roman Campagna

Kermit der Frosch als Reisender, in einen weißen Mantel gehüllt, in freier Luft vor den tief im Hintergrunde liegenden Ruinen der Campagna di Roma, auf einem umgestürzten Obelisken sitzend.


Kermit the Frog as a traveller, wrapped in a white coat, in the open air in front of the ruins of the Campagna di Roma lying deep in the background, sitting on a fallen obelisk.

An die Wand geklebt / Taped to the Wall

Dezember 2024

Der Froschkönig (ökonomische Version)
Einer Prinzessin fällt ihre goldene Kugel beim Spiel in den Brunnen, und ein Frosch bietet an, ihr zu helfen. Sie muss ihm dafür versprechen, seine Freundin zu werden und Teller und Bett mit ihm zu teilen. Als sie die Kugel zurück hat, geht sie nach Hause und vergisst den armen Frosch in seinem Brunnen. Doch der Frosch kommt an die Tür des Königsschlosses, und auf Drängen ihres Vaters, des Königs, bekennt sich die Prinzessin widerwillig zu ihrem Versprechen. Sie muss ihren Tisch mit dem Frosch teilen. Als jedoch der Frosch fordert, dass sie ihn mit in ihr Bett nehmen solle, ist ihre Abscheu so groß, dass sie den schleimigen und hässlichen Frosch mit Klebeband an die Wand klebt. Seit dem wartet sie auf Gebote für Ihr Kunstwerk ... und wenn sie nicht gestorben ist, klebt der Frosch noch immer.


The Frog Prince (economic version)
A princess drops her golden ball into the well while playing and a frog offers to help her. In return, she must promise to become his girlfriend and share her plate and bed with him. When she gets the ball back, she goes home and forgets the poor frog in his well. But the frog comes to the door of the royal castle and, at the insistence of her father, the king, the princess reluctantly makes good on her promise. She has to share her table with the frog. However, when the frog demands that she take him to bed with her, she is so disgusted that she sticks the slimy and ugly frog to the wall with duct tape. Since then, she has been waiting for bids for her work of art ... and if she hasn't died, the frog is still stuck to the wall.

:: 47-52 [RO] Bereaved ::

Grief is a monster at first; but a friend after. That's what they say.
For Thomas, Grief is still a monster, whether he befriends it or not.

47-52 [RO] Bereaved by EarlyOnion.jpg

"Grief is like that annoying acquaintance who clings onto you despite knowing it's not wanted; and it shows up when you least expects it to. Some days we enjoy the memories, some days Grief comes and hit me like a brick," says Thomas. "Still, we have such fun together in reminiscence, in pain and despair, in beautiful tragedy; and ultimately, we ended up signing a dark contract together, ah ha ha..."

My priest, Thomas Benedicta relaxing at St Capitolina Abbey, monastery for Monks, with a ghost of his past. He has been grieving Casey's death for many years and is still struggling with survivor's guilt. He decides to relax here only because an old acquaintance, Sister Cessna said this place helped to alleviate her sorrows.
(Trivia: This place will no longer exist in 300 years to come, when Ragnarök happens.)

:: 47-50 [RO] Default Mef_SC ::

My Ragnarök Online character, Mef the Shadow Chaser/SC (rogue class).
Unknowingly drew the pose to be 99% like [the ref image], only reversed. x'D
(You can also read about SCs there, first paragraph. They are, in short, warrior artists... or con artists... hahah...)

47-50 [RO] Default Mef_SC by EarlyOnion.jpg
.

As the title says, this is Mef in the default Shadow Chaser uniform of the game. Mef doesn't like it because of no shirt and he doesn't even carry THAT many daggers. Besides, it lacked his colour theme: red! He also loves the floofy cape, makes him feel safe. And those are Li'l Row button pins, hahaha. The actual design is a horned smiley, but I changed that for more Mef-ness. And I also left his chains at black for visibility purposes.

:: 47-49 [RO] Bless the Dark Ones ::

My Ragnarök Online/iRO character, Thomas Benedicta the Archbishop (priest/cleric). He does exorcism... and even had one done onto him. :')

47-49 [RO] Bless the Dark Ones by EarlyOnion.jpg

And yes, he blesses the demons, undeads, and ghosties. Blessing them reduces their formidability. He also likes to slow down their movements sometimes, reduce their defence against holy elements even more, or use a double-damage skill on them... Most priests won't waste their time on this petty moves, going straight for the kill. So, it might just be that Thomas likes to toy with his foes before exorcising them. Huh, never knew he was sadistic. x'D "I'm not sadistic," Thomas objects. "I am just playful when we're one-on-one, ah ha ha..." ┑( ̄▽ ̄)┍

My dA friend mentioned Spirou when I was chatting with him and it brought back memories. So, I wanted to try draw in a Spirou-esque style. Apparently, I failed; but I decided to just mix in my usual style and keep this. It kinda reminds me of my Picayune, haha. I also realised that I changed the way I drew nose over the years. The Thomas drawing above is my originally-intended style. Rounded, not pointed.
