ElfQuest Fan Art

If I am truly desperate, I rinse the top I sleep in, and sleep in that. It is sensory uncomfortable to do, so I only do it when I am really really dying of the heat.

What life-skill do you think is underrated?

Oh yes, I'm getting hungry too! One of my comfort foods is Shio (salt based soup) Ramen. It's just so nice and comforting. The instant kind, mind you. When need comfort I don't have the time to make soup from scratch.
Also a good porridge with a nice consistency.

Practical question: what do you do when you can't sleep at night because of the heat?

I think I would be more shocked about the walrus since I don't know how it would fit through our building's narrow staircase up to the second floor...  And who has taught it to knock??

Question: What is your go-to recipe or comfort food? (I'm hungry!)

Ooooh,a good question!

For me usually it is thinking of why I want to master said skill. Is it because I like how art from a new art supply look? Is it because I have a deadline at work?  Or is because I want to do something specific? Then Itry to keep it in mind as I do the thing.

So this was a question making a few rounds on tumblr, and I am curious what the folks here think. What would be a bigger shock to you, that a walrus came knocking on the door, or if a fae/fairy did?

Oooh, that's a great idea, Afke! I completely forgot about this thread.

And a good question as well. I think a lot of us sometimes or often fee like they are too much in their heads, or there is simply going to much in their heads or they tend to ponder endlessly at night. Well for me it's like that very often.
And I have struggled long to find something that works. So, I tried to learn how to meditate. As I am a person that struggles severly with concentration it was very hard work and took a really, really long time to feel any results. But I must say that finally I am able to stay more relaxed and am able to sleep so much better!

New question: how do you motivate yourself to learn something new? Something that isn't coming to you naturally?

I backed it and am slightly scared how much it will be in the end. I am indeed looking forward to learn about the stories behind the art. Also I love the quality of the Flesk publications so far. 

Hmm, perhaps breathe some new air into this thread... I think we all were too intimidated by the last question, haha.

I would probably say something along the lines of what I wrote in the big thank you book that was made by fans a while back. Yes, I would mostly thank them. I don't think I really have any questions lingering on my mind..? The final quest felt like a nice big wrap up to me. Although with some things in it, it may feel like there was no room to pause and elaborate. So I guess my question would be if they felt rushed to get it done, get the whole rest of the story out, because you never know how long you have left.

New question: What do you do when you feel like you are too much in your head, how do you calm down, or get into a state of relaxation?

Thanks for the link, I hadn't seen it yet. I'm not that kind of a collector I guess, I have my fave covers in some way. Though all the little info bits that Richard has written for these sound interesting, the price is just out of my league with the added shipping and customs costs. Anyway, it was a joy to view the video at least.
