WIP (not) Wednesday

Thank you to @pinayelf , @dreadfutures , @blarrghe and @theluckywizard for tagging me! (You're all tagged back for next week) I had to work last weekend and I got caught in a wild reference hunting, but... It's all Whale AU/ an original story, I hope you won't mind!

1) Going on with costume designs for Aisling, this time we're going regional! After a long and difficult research, I can affirm that this is the traditional dress of Alghero, Sardinia, where her mother comes from and she grew up in this iteration. Sardinian traditional clothes are absolutely gorgeous and I wanted to draw her in one... But Alghero Is a minority, and things are quite different. First by the fact that I actually struggled to fact check this outfit. I'm still only sure it's geographically appropriate, but not time appropriate (the story is set in 1907). All I can tell you about it is that it may have more influences from Barcelona than from Sardinia, and that a necklace is made of coral, which is very typical of the town.

2) A master study which will serve as a banner? Aisling and Raina having a picnic on the beach. They're eating papassini, typical biscuits made with raisins and glazed with sugar, Aisling is reviewing for an upcoming job interview with a very special professor. I drew the landscape on memory alone, I tried to look for references but I wasn't lucky. Hopefully I've been there so many times growing up that I still have a plausible image.

... I talked for eight years, sorry, I'm happy of this project ahahahah and about learning more about a place I've spent so much time into.

It's late for tagging, isn't it? Going with people I don't feel bad in pestering: @salsedinepicta @ndostairlyrium @shivunin @melisusthewee

Ishmael's whale facts come from three distinct sources:

This guy told him, that one time

Meticulous research, cross checked across multiple books

Pulled directly from his own ass

And unless you check the annotations, it can be very hard to tell which of these sources should be credited with any given fact.

#whale weekly #(think i might read the town-ho story again)

Sable (2021)

#heres some screen shots from my play of sable from like a year ago lol #really pretty game that i didnt even take pictures of all the cool places - realized late about the camera mode #great collectable game and exploration - v much if you see it you can go to it #like the bridge and knights has a whole inside area and theres a town at the top of the 'whale' skeletons #saw some art that reminded me of this game and yea #its a simple game but its fun #sable #sable game #ghost rambling

What about Project Moon genderswap Captain Ahab too?

anon I hope you know this concept is making me Scream

#watch out kromer the new contender for “most unhinged limbus woman” is in town #I hope they make this happen. please #fuck it genderbend the whale too while they're at it #ahab and ishmael should have the gayest fucking fight in the world please and thank you #like ishmael thinks she died but she lived somehow #(woman literally Too Angry To Die) #and she's still obsessed with the whale and it makes ishmael take a long hard look at herself #idk the way they've been characterising ishmael so far with her relentless search for other survivors #and the whole “as long as that bastard is still alive” thing #to me at least feels like she's unintentionally repeating the cycle #I hope her chapter allows her to start properly mourning at least #especially if the One Survivor Besides Her is the asshole who started the whole thing #idk I haven't read moby dick properly nor is ishmael my biggest blorbo I could be talking out of my ass #asks #limbus company #ishmael likers give me your wisdom 🙏🙏🙏

You guys, I'm so bad at horror games lol

I'm like 20 mins into Call of Cthulhu and I have a tension headache from straining my neck so bad

I am never going to finish this game...

#call of cthulhu #even Anthony Howell's voice might not be enough to get me through this one #edward pierce #my crotchety drunk veteran private eye #aside from the horror the vibes are immaculate #the broiling dark ocean #the whale oil lamps #the decaying old whaling town on a wind blasted rock #😙🤌

Genuinely forever glad that the first book series i read as soon as i learned how to read was fairy oak and not harry potter like... I feel like that caused much less damage to my psyche and the author isn't an insane bigot

#extremely extremely funny that in honor of the first book's 15th anniversary she wrote an extra book with some random minor story set in the #same town with like the protagonist kids doing other random shit about a whale sighting #and she like. made some random background characters gay and made the kids' fairy babysitters be like it's so fine and normal and good for #for children to be gay. like uehuhreguheh sorry i know it's like well intentioned to include this in ur book directed to like kids age 8-13 #instead of tweeting about how this pair of random background girls are gay on ur social media and then fund insane transmisogyny etc #but it's so funny sorry #🗨️

Me, talking to the dead whaler in my soul who’s made me spontaneously throw up in 3 outta 3 former whaling towns I visited, in Stonington, New Bedford, and Nantucket: surely you won’t do this when we go to fucking Long Island…….

#on the one hand 4 outta 4 would be funny #on the other hand……MAN I DON’T LIKE PUKING IN WHALING TOWNS I’VE BEEN TO it puts a wrench in my Experience

worlds most chaotic baby wants to know your location

#undertale #ut #utdr #Corsiva (OC) #my art #when shes darcys cousin she gets along really well with aunt muffet who likes coming up with increasingly complex rhyme schemes for her #bitty bitey bratty baby bones is her favorite thus far #i think in that case also shes older and doesnt know her own strength and its like. a bit that she keeps completely wrecking her little cuz #based off me and my older cousin who are 1 yr and 1 month apart who used to BRAWL as toddlers #he was older and bigger and didnt really know his own strength so he usually was whaling on me #but one time at a family gettogether they were all chilling in our little dining nook which has access to the back porch and they heard #like BLOODY MURDER screaming and they assumed he was beating up on me but they looked outside and both of us were on the trampoline #somehow #and he was curled into a ball screaming and i was just absolutely going to town on the kid for once and they all just sat n watched #i have no memory of this which makes me so upset bc the visual has never ever stopped being funny to me

[kayoi1234]

where does your username come from?

So, imagine - me, 13 years old, not knowing what words are in other countries, typing "Kayoi" thinking it was a made up word that I made up because 13 year oids think they are geniuses but they aren't.

Because, a week ago, I find out that "Kayoi" is a place in Nagato, Yamaguachi, Japan. It has a whale museum. Also it's "commuting" in japanese according to google translate, but also it's not, but at that point I give up and I don't think anyone goes to Kayoi.

Except for. you know. The whale museum.

#ask #coffee-without-anesthetics #txt #kayoi bullshits again #yeah that's it #the story of my username is that I made it up but it turns out its not made up so #well #it is what it is I guess #googling 'kayoi' is a trip though becuase it thinks i want kayo the gambling company #i don't want that I want the sleepy japanese town with the whale museum

A small version of Depot Bay,, Oregon, a costal community on Hwy 101 catering to tourism, whale watching and boasting one of the smallest harbors in the country. Storefronts line the sidewalk in anticipation of vacation time shoppers. A great place to stop!

THE MERMAID IN THE TREE

A giant mangrove in the middle of the sea; a market trading in misery; a mermaid-goddess whose priests do not agree.

20/3 - 26/3 #dungeon23

Another settlement, instead of dungeon.

Faction play, focused on the question of a (CW, obviously!) flesh market: do you side with pirates and profit, or free the captives for no immediate material benefit?

Intentionally left Koto as a kind of neutral party, here. She's a tree. How she handles this moral quandary depends on which of her priests you back.

Also liked how I manage to fold seperate cultural detail (the Red Hairs are cursed; any land they step gets earthquakes; therefore they make poor captive labour) into how said culture views the Sweat Market.

Don't know why but the barnacle sails on the whales make me happy.

Am extremely behind on my dungeon-diary-keeping.

I've reached the very middle of my current notebook, so wanted to make this week special.

That was a struggle. Started sketching, and midway into the teensy-weensy floating houses and fish farms I realised that the scale of the town was too tiny, so making it not look like a bunch of ants was going to be a challenge.

This is the whole reason why I drew a mermaid here: visual interest.

Koto's appearance is very obviously cribbed from Suphannamatcha. Still: I love how she turned out. The branch and fruit she is holding are from the perepat mangrove---the species to which Sharon's favourite tree belongs:

#dungeon23 thing I loved this week: I've linked to him before, but Victor J Merino continues to be an inspiration. Every week he does a mini-dungeon for / inspired by a different TTRPG system. Last week's was "A Day On The Countryside", for Salvage Union.
