She watched the roots, reaching up out of the ground. Twirling around each other. Tying themselves together and standing tall. She would have run when she saw her face forming in the organic ballet. If only the roots holding her hands and feet would loosen their grip.
Ya know, I was absolutely certain I’d had Durthi as a #Colour_Collective portrait. Can’t find her in any of the usual folders or my Twatter though. I shall remedy this in 2019.
Obs, this ain’t just no straight-up horror post, but an advert too. Cause ya know, I do need a few quid to buy tea!
You can get an original hand drawn Durthi or a print of this fiendish plant lady on my Etsy store. Postage is free and first class wherever you live in the world, and each card envelope comes with a free bird drawn on it. Stick that in ya stovepipe and smoke it.
Literally…

Interestingly enough, the word ‘dharti’ in Urdu means ‘land’, and the first sentence about the roots makes me think of that.

Yep, I think that’s why I had Durthi in my head. Darthi was to close and sounded like a Star Wars character haha.

Hah. Fears trivia, I’ve ever seen one Dirty Harry film, it’s meant to be one of the worst but UK Channel 5 show it pretty regularly haha.

You definitely have posted Durthi the Plant Shaman before. I like that guy…girl…plant…thing. I remembered the post, but the image is missing: https://littlefears.co.uk/2018/08/01/durthi-the-plant-shaman/

Ahh, piss. Cheers, Ing. I don’t think that was a colour collective post, more likely the original artwork post. I’m only back about 2-3 months of repairing the last 2 years worth of posts after the big WordPress 5.0 blog explosion haha.
