Description
I also knew a woman from Karnaca who would trade for charms and other bits of whalebone. She cracked them apart and fused them back together, then sold them. I bought one of these corrupted charms that she swore would cause sharp metal to break on my skin, and it worked. But each time it did, one of my teeth turned black and fell out. After the third time, I gave it to one of my men. Now when he smiles, it's all bleeding gums, and I wonder what parts inside him are turning black. - Daud

This one was supposed to be a very quick speedpaint, but it turned into a digital painting after the first hour of work. Mostly because I wasn't really pleased with the effect, and later became quite frustrated. But I painted over and over, until I decided it looks well enough.

The fact that I had kind of a really bad mood didn't help much. I was tired, because in the morning I went to the Dominican Fair which my City hosts annualy. It was a nice event, but I'm getting weary very soon when I'm surrounded by so many sounds, smells, voices and stalls with odds and ends. It's also been a while since I had an opportunity to talk to any of my friends, and it surprised me, how I began to need them in past few months. I always was a loner, hard to get around, losing contact with others easily after a while, not really needing people to feel good. But over past few years it began to change. And I guess the loss of my favourite necklace during family boat trip (There still is a small chance that it'll be found laying in a dark corner of the yacht, since I dropped it somewhere, but I probably lost it in the river.) also has something to do with my current state of mind. I really got used to it, moonstone drop wrapped in a copper wire, and it was kindo of an amulet to me. But well, things disappear, I'll make myself another one as soon as I manage to get the right stone, but now I feel a bit... lonely without it.
