New drawing, titled Paralysis

By -
...Paralysis... The horror of being pure consciousness trapped in a mortal coil that ignores your will.

Made with prismacolors, graphite, and charcoal

In my last post, I explained about my post viral fatigue. I colored and fleshed out my sketch and this is what I came up with:

A being with a renaissance mind. I'm a visual artist, singer, writer, and an Otome VN game dev.

Random Poems about Love

By -
There was a poetry contest and so I wrote these two short poems about love: The warmth we seek isn't for the weak When the fire ignites, oh how we shriek with delight When the passion wanes, the faint of heart won't remain Those that do, hide behind the mystique of misleading doublespeak All that deception won't bring connection What's being saved?  Surely not the love that's craved The warmth I seek isn't for me if I'm weak It's a fickle flame I tend faithfully When it goes low, I nurture it so No matter the souls, love is a growth to extol ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The warmth we seek isn't for the weak Grasping hands grope for something real To take the edge off the mortality and loneliness we feel In the chaos and in the pain, search for a flame to show the way If such a rare, true light is found, What matters the form it takes, or the shape? The warmth I seek isn't f...

Miscellanea: Mantra, Art, Animation, Music, & Poetry

By -
Recent mantra that I came up with. Simple. Easy. It's not the first I've come up with, but it's the first I've ever shared publicly. ♪ I am aligned ♪ ♪ I am alive ♪ ♪ I have my mind ♪  ♪ These problems don't run my life ♪ Since my last update I've made a couple more art pieces and collaborated on two songs with a band called Delta Divide. Since then, I've been on hiatus. I've been attending school for a while again and I just haven't had enough energy to keep up with school and art. Also, I've been mentally tired. Burnt out. I needed a break and I sort of got one, but not really. My life feels like a mess sometimes, but I know it's not overall. I can't wait to keep traveling my educational path. Now only if I could land a decent remote internship and somehow make some money 💫 Art Pieces: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Kristin Garcia (@terra.essence.art) View this post on Instagram ...

Inert Guardian Artwork & Poem

By -
Image
I've written a lot of poetry that could become future song lyrics. I might post some of the random poems I have sometime. Anyways here's some new artwork and a poem: ...Inert Guardian... Gripping to the ledge Tottering on the edge Contort as I lay Scream as I may Is this the moment reality breaks? Mayhem seething and irate Is this the moment this form decays? Eagerly overcome and ensnare rationality from the unconductive husk that is my brain The will cannot be contained what flesh has made weak - is disdained Deep peace obtained lies dormant Hermetic, unacclaimed Sing to myself to starve the shadow Sing to myself to stave the beast Reverberations contrite, alluding to wishful jouissance  Grasping at visions of haleness and love  Watchful orbs survey in fragments, a reminder this is a non-divergent path To suffer need not elicit pain Music by: Mt_Majora Vocals by: Me :)

Earth Elemental Mask and Updates

By -

This is my latest creation made from paper clay and acrylic paint: I even made a rudimentary video showing my process: Recent Activities: It's been a while since I updated my blog. At the moment, on the music front, I was working on a collaboration with my wonderful partner - Mt_Majora. I sang on a couple of his songs and I'll be posting about that when I have some artwork done for my EP. I've also been working on learning Ableton for my solo music work. I haven't been writing or doing as much art as I'd like, but I've been having health issues so I'm not beating myself up about that. After all, I'm still working and stuff. For anyone reading this, stay safe out there!

Succumb Artwork & Poem

By -
Image
It's been a while since my last post. A lot of changes have taken place in my life. Too many, actually. It's kind of overwhelming and I'm surprised I handled any of it given the state I'm in. Emotional turmoil runs deep. Suffice it to say, I'm in a new place physically and mentally. I've finally adjusted and settled in to the point that I was able to finish some artwork. In terms of health, I've made some great strides. I can do more physically and I'm more housebound than bedridden. I still can't walk more than a minute without crumpling into a jittery, fucky goo pile xD All I can do is laugh at how ridiculous my body is reacting to the most normal of stimuli. I'll never underestimate the miracle that is basic fucking standing up ever again! Anyways.... I drew the original a couple months ago now, but just now have finished the coloring process. ..~Succumb~.. Torn far enough through the core Sedated, deranged stat...

Random update: Poetry, Art, and Stuffs

By -
Wow, it's been Freakin' forever since I updated my blog. Simultaneously much and yet nothing has been happening - such is life. As usual, I'll speak about nothing to my imaginary audience: I've still been struggling with my physical health a lot, but I feel that I'm finally in a good place mentally and in my relationships. I've no doubt I'm going to get better. In the meantime it's all about coping, convalescing, and conditioning my body where I can. I've finished a couple of paintings, composed a song, made a visualizer and have written quite a bit of poetry. I'll post as much as I can here, because why not overload this post with lots of stuff linked from my Instagram!?

Sketches and sickness

By -

It's been about two months that I've been struggling with covid-19 post-viral fatigue and who knows what else. Technically, I've been sick since mid-March, but it's only been in the past two months that I've been to the point where I'm essentially bedbound. It was worse a month ago, but I'm finally to the point where I can walk to the bathroom once a day by myself and open the curtains in my bedroom to let the sunlight in. Other than that, I'm in bed all day, unable to walk any farther than what I've just mentioned. Previously, I was unable to do anything but lay in bed and meditate. It was a struggle to even pick up my water bottle and eating knocked me out. Nowadays, I've got just enough strength to draw, write, or even sing. I'm optimistic I'll get better, it's just a slow as fuck process. I've learned to be patient and that results come weekly or even monthly, not daily. For anyone dealing with any sickness,  chronic or otherw...
