In my post about why Hollywood and creativity in general is dying, I used an anecdote about how when I was a child, I basically would only write fanfic since it was easier to use characters that had already been established than to make up my own stories. In that post, I also promised that... Continue Reading →
Mythology: The Mighty Tanuki
Within the past 2-3 months of being on this blog, I have only done one post on mythology, so why not write some more. Today's myth focuses on the tanuki, a character who not only is this blog's mascot, but is also a character in my books. These funny little creatures are one of the... Continue Reading →
Review: The Horse and His Boy. Horse Theft is Okay as Long as They Can Talk. (Spoilers)
I've actually read The Horse and His Boy three times; first when I originally read (or tried to read) The Chronicles of Narnia, second when I was in 4th or 5th grade, and finally when I was reading it to do this review and catch up on Narnia lore. While The Horse and His Boy... Continue Reading →
Fairy in a Tree in Watercolor and Acrylic
Here's the first try that was done in watercolor. As you can see, it was not my best work and many of the colors unfortunately blended into each other. The acrylic version came out much better. While the sky is a bit streaky, I kind-of enjoy it since it looks like strange, fantasy clouds. The... Continue Reading →
Blog: Can We Talk About Lightsabers for a Moment?
As I've been trying to convince my parents to allow me to start a YouTube channel for this blog, one of the ideas I've had floating around in my head for a video has been "Galactic Insurance Agent Insures Lightsaber." However, since I haven't gotten a YouTube channel started yet, why not talk about all... Continue Reading →
Blog: The Modern Church is Crap, but Here’s Why You Should Still Try. My Experiences with the Church.
In some of my previous blog posts about The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis and my review of Shiny, Happy People, you might be thinking, "Wow, the church sucks. Why would anyone ever go there?" and you would be right in thinking that. For hundreds of years, the church has been corrupt on all different... Continue Reading →
Art Gallery: Portraits of Percy Jackson in Acrylic and Watercolor
Acrylic version: These were the first portraits I ever did (though the original art is not mine; it belongs to Viria. These are just my renditions of it.) As you can see, the first try was done with watercolor, though at the time, I didn't really understand that watercolor was a much different medium than... Continue Reading →
Art Gallery: A Boat on the Sea (Inspired by Makoccino)
This was one of my first paintings while I was learning how to paint in watercolor. Inspired by the book No-Fail Watercolor by the YouTuber Makoccino, this painting was one of the lessons on layering. Since watercolor is a very translucent/transparent medium, in order to layer it, you have to work with light colors first... Continue Reading →
Review: Shiny, Happy People from a Homeschooler’s P.O.V. (Spoilers)
I've been somewhat hesitant to write this post, but you know what? Screw it. It's my 50th article on The Tanuki Corner and I have some thoughts on this series. I realize that I could get some backlash for this post since our wonderful elites hate homeschoolers because "How dare the peasantry be autonomous and... Continue Reading →
Introducing the Art Gallery
For a while now, if you went onto my Art Gallery page, you would've found the title of the page and the message "Coming soon." Well, wait no longer because the art gallery is here with pictures of my watercolor and acrylic paintings inspired or based off of the paintings of other artists and YouTubers... Continue Reading →
