great news, folks, my professor told me I have the power to be a menace to society and then gave me full points for an analysis in which I took a 300 word detour to explain Goncharov. I'm having the time of my fucking life.

#megs vs mlis #in my defense the goncharov analysis was actually the PERFECT case study for what i was analyzing. #god what a time goncharov was. fought in the war on misinformation on the side of the misinformation. #anyway those were not his exact words and it was not related to my goncharov analysis but it was VERY funny okay #dude told me unprompted ten minutes after first face to face meeting that my skillset is capable of shaping the fabric of society. buckwild. #it was actually delightful. wizard hours honestly. #getting a good grade in grad school which is both— wait.

a goliath shark preying on a juvenile serpent. in Nevverse, Otodus megalodon exists in some seas and primarily preys on other large predators like dragons and whales.

(this is a piece of work for a fantasy setting and not intended to be 100% accurate!)

I think he hsould be alive in my world though! #fraizer draws #megalodon #fantasy #serpent #sea serpent #dragons #nevverse #creature design #by the way these sort of photo studies are some of my favourite forms of work. therye so fun and rewarding #sharks #Otodus megalodon #otodus #paleoart

I've been having a lot of thoughts about magic in Dragon Age:

So mages in Dragon Age seem to have spell books right? Merrill mentions that Anders has a grimoire, Flemeth has one, the mage enemies in Inquisition have them, etc. So it stands to assume that most mages have them (maybe not lifelong apostates like the Hawkes but circle mages for sure, right?)

I think these spell books are a compendium of instructions for many spells that mages CAN learn and cast, not just the ones they already know how to cast.

Like in world leveling up would just equate a mage getting time to memorize new spells so that they could cast them without needing to look at the book (aka the instructions).

I think mages can cast most spells if they have their spell book with the instructions for the casting of the spell available. Obviously some people are going to struggle with certain schools of magic even if they have instructions for it (my warden is hopeless at casting entropy spells).

And then they have a core set of spells that they know well enough that they can cast quickly and easily in things like combat or emergencies (aka the spells on they have on their hot bar from leveling up).

So mage spell books are basically their vast collection of notes from years of apprenticeship and further study as an enchanter (for circle mages) or notes on spell casting that they've figured out themselves or learned from others (for apostates and such).

I also like to imagine that spells aren't as rigid as they are in, say, d&d. Mages can essentially twist reality to their will, which I feel lends a lot of mutability to the magic use. So while there is a template for certain spells in books, everyone is going to cast the spell a little different and each casting will probably be different based on what the mage wants the spell to do.

Like how DA2's cone of cold is a wide swath of ice spikes to impale enemies vs DAO's cone of cold being a concentrated and controlled blast that freezes enemies solid. I think mages can do both of these and more depending on what they want the spell to do/ what they need it for in the moment.

So compared to d&d where a spell like fireball is always going to have a 150 ft range, 20ft radius, do 8d6 damage etc. things are a lot looser. Mages draw on the mutability of the fade and bring it into the real world to cast spells, so it makes sense that spells are inherently mutable.

So the best mages are more like sculptors rather than rules lawyers :3

I ended up jumping from WIP to WIP in a total of three hours at work (they know I'm a graphic designer/amateur illustrator plus I'm up to date with them so, they don't mind me carrying my laptop and drawing in the meantime) and so, even if not finished, advanced a lot of things!

I'm quite happy to fight my art block with these baby steps.

Anyway, made from zero a few expression exercises with my Roddy design, revisited an old expression sheet for my Lockdown design, and resumed studying toys and starting a (very green) design to approach Predaking that doesn't give me a figurative aneurism.

#windy squawks #work in progress #character redesign #transformers hot rod #tfp predaking #tfa lockdown #predaking will be a journey because he was practically designed following the “rule of cool” without regard about making it a toy %D #i still want to choke the designer who thought it was a good idea to go full crazy with the details in both modes to the point that... #theres almost no correlation between them?! only in the color palette and certain details but the rest feels so farfetched #so im studying my SS07 Grimlock and photos of LegTransmetal II Megs to make a more realist but not less badass design #but enough for today #probably more tomorrow

wake up early to get extra work done -> use that time to cope with the fact that you're still sleepy -> get no work done -> go to bed late so you can wake up early to get extra work done the next day ->

surgeon appointment:

i kept being asked about if i had a therapist, to the point that i got kind of annoyed.

i thought about it and what's specifically burning my ass about being asked repeatedly about having a therapist is that if i was having a reduction or god forbid augmentation i question if it would have come up so much

i am 44 years old and i have had plenty of time to think about it

also working hard enough at therapy to get a true benefit out of it is not really an option that you might call feasible with working full time as someone who has chronic fatigue

ANYWAY the surgeon is lovely and i will have some epic ass scars that i'm like kind of looking forward to

#meg what is your problem #top surgery adventures #gonna be real honest #i'm curious to see if there's a study about people warned to expect #acute depression after surgery #and people told that the depression symptoms #were a normal part of recovery #and how each group reacted

#meg silt verses liveblogging #this is just like the locked tomb except i didnt have to study lore for a year in order to understand it

Obsessed with him again and this seems to be the line of choice for today. Pissy about being dragged into a dumb contest for Megatron's approval

#Eldritch gushes #ShockLine #Video #ask to tag #<-(Y'know cuz of Arcee) #TFA Shock and Meg's interactions make me go 👀. Studying them like a bug in a jar #I love his voice so much
