Agreed, I heard the soundtrack originally had 20+ songs on it and they cut it down to 12 total. The song cuts are probably related to the scenes they cut.

I love your art every time it comes across my feed, and these are no exception. Beautiful narrative compositions, atmospheric detail, and contrast.

Illustration of a kelp forest in a teal ocean, rays of golden sunlight streaming in from above. Fish are swimming about, and near the bottom of a prominent kelp strand, a partially obscured leopard shark leisurely patrols the underwater forest. The palette predominantly features warmer teals, red violet, and gold.

A California sea lion rendered in rich brown and orange tones rests upon a rock in teal shore waters below a softly glowing orange sky. Its slender head is raised to look over its back and to the right while a large crest of white sea foam frames its figure.

Rendered in a rough painterly style, a shortfin mako shark leaps from a calm ocean tail over head, sea foam trailing its body in a loose arc. The shark, looking nearly metallic, is rimmed with orange light as a pale yellow sun hangs in a hazy orange sky, framing its streamlined figure.

A caribou stands low in a field awash in autumnal oranges and yellows. Its head raised slightly, it looks off to the side while a pair of tall, sweeping antlers rises from its head, a bright red crown of newly hardened branches. Velvet still clings to the antlers in patches and tatters.

Of all my work, this little 3x4 piece tucked away in a journal is probably my most prized possession. A drawing of myself having compassion for a young me; to be the person I wish I had back then when I wanted to end it all.

To be better than the cycle.

Re: DUNE by Frank Herbert

We keep being stuck with exactly the same problem with Frank Herbert and that is Book I. Nobody can seem to get through the first 100 pages without being confused and irritated.
I wish this were not the case, and I do indeed thank you for giving me the chance to consider it again.
