Halsin- Kindred (June print club postcard) (Patreon)

hellooo, here with the painting that will accompany this month's print club as the bonus postcard!

I'm really proud of how this one turned out- I had a strong visualization for it in my head and I'm just so happy when a painting turns out just as I saw it in my brain haha.

I like to think of Halsin's relationship with his bear side to be a kinship- it seems like he talks about his bear self as if it's a separate entity almost, but with him. Shapeshifting is such a powerful motif in human mythology since the dawn of mankind- for some reason we just have been obsessed with the concept since we were scrawling images in caves. Wildshaping in the Forgotten Realms is such a cool concept and I love the spiritual aspect of the Druids. I could ramble on and on lol.

I'm so excited for the packaging for this month's print club!! I'll do another video of packing it up this time, I hope my plans work out for this. It's a bit of a minor arts and crafts project every month figuring out what I'll do. Makes it a lot easier if I keep to a theme!
