Weather's Coming - Rough sketch
Added 2018-06-02 00:46:21 +0000 UTCThis turned out oddly.. Hildebrandtian. Its one of a bunch of sketches I'm frantically getting down in digital format before they disappear out of my head again. I apologize in advance for the flood of these that will show up, but the up-side is that I've got a huge variety of things to paint this month.
"Ay Taerval!"
"Ay"
"Weather's comin'."
"Looks so, yah."
"Raeoh an' me headin' t' Whistlekeg. You Brightfer?
"May well, yah."
"Gon' be tunderin' up the hells, Hopin' fer no stones"
"S'early season, not sure much'd be stem snapped"
"Hopin. Lets drag hoof, yah?"

Sort of! Though more Eastern Canada/Northern Irish/Cornwall in this case. Its a wonderfully confusing and thick dialect, largely self-contained since a lot of farming communities don't have wide travel and develop their own colloquialisms. Hoping to get their pub picture done next.

2018-06-05 17:04:42 +0000 UTCI absolutely agree. I want to head to the pub with them and listen to music and banter as the storms thundered overhead outside. :)

2018-06-05 16:59:45 +0000 UTCThey do have a pretty thick local dialect, yep :D Essentially its three farmers meeting up on the pathway as weather (a storm) is rolling in over the horizon. One pair are headed off to the 'Whistling Keg' which is the local pub (coloquially: Whistlekeg) and are wondering if Taerval is up for joining them. The rest is banter about the storm looking serious and hopes that it doesn't hail, and wanting to get going if they're going to get indoors before the roiling clouds arrive.

2018-06-05 16:59:06 +0000 UTCNot Scottish precisely. Its a mix of accents in my head. Part Old Irish meets Eastern Canada Newfoundland with a bit of Cornish and seasoning of Gaulish (accent unknown since its a dead language, but some of their language uses Gaulish spellings)

2018-06-04 04:39:20 +0000 UTCWait, is that how you write in Scottish? If not, that is one interesting accent, I have to say.
2018-06-03 16:55:31 +0000 UTCI love this little peek into everyday life. Wishing I could step in and have a cup of coffee with them.
