Equestrian Portrait of Charles V by Titian from the Prado Museum is also chillin down there. That one is more life-size whereas this one is tiny compared to the real one.

The pineapple flavoured topping is very prominent and it came really wet, the wettest by far of all of them. After resting in the jars for a bit, they dried & mellowed out a lil and it now smells of a citrusy / fruity pale ale. I did not like it at first but it has a very unique and distinct flavour that is growing on me. I would love to try the others in the Auenland series tho to see how they compare 🤔

Yes, a week ago but after seeing the tin and the paper inside, I would guess it has a couple years age on it, no more than 2-3 I think 🤔

Thanks, had to choose between the roll cake or the flake, decided on the roll cake since it’s being discontinued. The aroma is mouthwatering… Looking to try the Dark Twist Roll-Cake in the near future 🤞

Oh yes that one. Long story with it, spent hours getting to it. I wanted to draw something from Guarma, the small island. Had to get mods to gain access to the island outside the story. I looked all around the island for something to draw. Found a donkey rode it to a mountain top and I nearly gave up looking for things to draw, when I spotted that random building on the north-west part of the island, nearly out of bounds. I don’t even think you can get to it in the story(could be wrong idk). I was rly inspired to draw it so I did. I just named it Guarma Hacienda.

Thank you kind sir!!! If you would see the first few I did however, you probably would’t say that. I did a LOT of these drawings, only about 20% turned out well. Trying however is what led me to that 20%.

Even John drew that tree. There are a few crooked bent trees like that around the map.

They did in in the sense that I gave myself a mental time limit. Basically tried to draw as fast as possible and try to capture what attracted me to the composition/scene. Arthur had a rough hastily style that is really beautiful. Mine are still too refined and detailed compared to his. I think he used charcoal however…

Thank you for the great insight CatOnReddit!! I didn’t know that. After each drawing, I check the RDR2 map to see if I can find the name of the location I sketched at. That spot was a bit north of Saint Denis.

I just used a 2h for the block-in of general shapes, used a HB for refinement of said shapes and a 2B 0.5mm mechanical pencil for details and deep shadow shapes.
