holy shit this year marks 10 years of this blog and moz!! i can't remember the exact date i started posting here - my archive says i have one post from november 2013 but let's disregard that - but i do remember it was around late 2014/early 2015 :)

^ one of the very first moz art pieces i ever drew, for fallout week 2015!!

memories and art through the years under a read more bc it got long

2014 → baby's first rpg!! i started playing fnv on my cousin's jailbroken xbox late 2013 and finished mid 2014 and i loved every minute of it. i remember waking up at 8am and playing almost nonstop until 2am the next day haha!

i didn't play moz on my first playthrough - but i did start creating a character that would eventually become her: a shorthaired ex-boxer who punched her way through obstacles when diplomacy failed. i remember she spent a lot of time with boone. i liked him then, because he saved my ass more times than i can count. but i digress. this is draft 1 moz essentially

2015 → this is the year that i was doing my thesis so i could graduate but i was so depressed and stressed about it that i distracted myself by replaying fnv on pc, where i played through the dlcs for the first time. i fell in love with the dlcs' oversarching story; particularly ulysses, who i became obssessed with, especially since i couldn't find any content of him at the time. in the game, i played as moz; i had most of her personality and choices down, but her backstory was still up in the air.

fun fact: this was an existing sideblog that i remade to be a fallout blog so i could look for ulysses content, and when i couldn't find any, i made some myself, featuring moz as my main courier six. originally, i didn't ship them, but eventually i ended the year as a courier/ulysses otp shipper.

this was the year i started drawing digitally - my uncle let me borrow a drawing tablet and i used an old copy of photoshop i pirated hehe

2016 → i graduated this year!! and promptly fell deeper into my depression. this was the year that it got so bad that i had to be medicated. through it all, this blog and moz and ulysses and my fandom friends were with me. and for that i am truly grateful :) this was the year i figured out how to lock transparent pixels so that i could color my lineart lol

2017 → i started hammering out moz's backstory this year i think. there's a lot of sketches of her and her family in my files. i experimented with shading and backgrounds here but that experimentation was pretty short-lived

2018 → i started using references seriously!!!! i did a lot of oc on oc kissing this year, featuring mostly moz and many friend ocs haha

2019 → didn't draw much this year. actually this year was a blur and i can't remember much from it except from it being the year of my terrible no good bad copywriting jobs... anyway i did manage to continue my courier/ulysses brainrot and make this piece, which i'm still proud of

2020 → pandemic time. i spent a lot of time asleep at home and i think this was also the year i started doing commissions?? shoutout to anyone who has ever commissioned me - thank you so much, i truly appreciate it!!

2021 → i switched from my old-ass pirated photoshop to clip studio paint and never looked back. also i did a bunch of commissions for my grandmother's surgery, which failed, and i distracted myself from the sadness by drawing my ocs over and over and playing disco elysium

2022 → by this year, i've got moz down pat and have started vaguely developing other ocs instead. but she's still always at the back of my mind

2023 → i bought new brushes from true grit texture supply and immediately found new favorites that i started using for everything. i tentatively started incorporating background elements in some pieces!

2024 → while it's still too early to say where this year will lead me art-wise, i will say that i started experimenting in realistic paint studio (which i bought in 2021, the same time as clip studio paint) a few days ago and i'm liking the results so far. we'll see!

all in all, these last 10 years have been quite a ride, but i'm glad i stuck around and i'm glad you guys stuck around too!! much much love 💖💖💖

#shh peri shhh #god. look at that old art... i took the ones that i still kinda liked but the rest... #well i don't hate them. but they're old and of their time and i wish i could redo them lmao #my art #moz

[microraptorreactor]

I feel like dumping out my box of OCs like one would do a box of lps so very long post filled with very many doodles ahead!

Reference for my Rainworld oc, Lost! He's an idiot kid I made for one joke but now he lives in my brain. I think I made this reference for him last year? Idk I don't remember. I'm just now realizing that Lost snuck into my V2 characterization lmao.

Elysium art of various ages! Made between 2021-2023 I believe. This is the oc I made before I knew what Ultrakill was and everyone thought I was making an Ultrakill joke. Tbh if it wasn't for the fact that I MADE Elysium and have their early sketches I wouldn't believe they weren't an Ultrakill reference either. Speaking of which, here's some animations from when Elysium was both a quadruped and a model of robot instead of an individual. These were both made for a class in 2021.

VERY old art (2020 I think? I wasn't using my screen tablet yet) that I normally wouldn't include if it weren't for the fact my friends would explode me if I mentioned Elysium and Lost without mentioning Nerve. She was an anxiety-ridden warforged cleric who got tragically sent to the vampire realm. Whenever Nerve comes up in discussion one of my friends brings up how I made him cry with her final speech. I don't remember tf I said lmao.

Art of my His Dark Materials OC, Zurial! Art would have been made 2022 onwards. I made her WAY back in 2019 before Hazbin Hotel even had a pilot but unfortunately now she looks like a Hazbin angel and I feel weird drawing her. Which is really unfortunate because I love her dearly, she's one of my favorite OCs. She's also the only oc I have who I've made a plushie for. Why did my character design have to accidentally look like the works of famous youtube animator Vivian Medrano T-T

(here's her plushie btw. I'm really proud of it lol.)

Here's Niphit, one of my Warframe OCs! Some of y'all might recognize her as my AO3 pfp, but her design has changed since then. The bottom reference sheet is her most recent design. She's kind of conceptually similar to Baeri/Sleet/-31 from SftBT, in terms of hacking shit and having a snout and teeth. Biggest difference is that she is a whole ass hivemind, usually pretty harmless, and also considered pretty young.

Shameless CR:K fanchild OC. Her name is Golden Parmesan Cheese Cookie (Parm or Parmesan for short) and she's also, like, an AI copy of a dead person. Or a dead person's soul trapped inside an eternal simulation? Either way she's got SO many issues. I have a massive chatfic wip from when I decided to try writeing something with her.

Okay I know technically this is a Homestuck OC but I like to say she's a Hiveswap OC. Because I played Hiveswap and loved it but never read Homestuck. Anyways her name is Vintan she's a yellowblood.

Whoa an original character! Yeah this is Corion, they come from my brain. I have a whole story concept about post-apocalyptic robot cowboys (and human cowboys) that I've done a couple doodles from but never written down. Corion serves as a sort of living taxi, guiding or carrying people across the wasteland. They are a secondary protagonist, I don't think I have art of Pike and Amelia, the actual protagonists. One funny fact about this universe is it contains a character named V1 (pronounced Vi, still written as V1) who I can no longer use for obvious reasons.

But yeah! Ramble over! Not anywere near all of them I just wanted to talk about my brain children XD

What are some art or artists that have inspired you?

this is such an interesting question . since as of recent i have been thinking about relearning how to draw and change up my style . i feel very stagnant as of late (and since i really wanna start posting to tumblr a lot more and want to begin drawing mine and other people's characters !!!! i feel like learning Again would be a fantastic start)

(also, being in a stagnant state of art, i'm in a REALLY stiff pose, flat and lifeless colouring style - sorta position, i feel like i could really break out of that if i just KEEP on drawing and KEEP on looking at references and KEEP ON developing everything im doing)

As of now, I've been looking at the Homestuck^2 style, i'm so in love with the roundness and how simplistic everything is and how fun and fluid everything is

@/doeiika is also a massive inspiration, i realize how much of their Pizza Tower fanart i've seen and ive fallen in love with it all again

Disco Elysium was a massive changer when it came to how I draw . i redid Kim Kitsuragi's portrait ages ago and it forever revolutionized how i colour each piece of art . however that spark is slowly making its way out and i've been thinking a lot of transitioning to a sort of cel-shaded theme for most pieces . I think (i used to cel-shade but i'm not too sure . That's what transitional periods are for!)

team fortress Two was one of the biggest turning points for how i draw and design characters, it was one of my biggest hyperfixations back in the day (i have 2k hours clocked in and i haven't touched it since), one of the best pieces i ever did was back in 2020 and it still gets plenty of love today . it made me realize how fun it is to use super geometric shapes

YOU are also really up there . yours and cupid's ocs (I LOVE YOU MOONE) are one of the main reasons why im getting back into both drawing AND WRITING !!

@/nxbellion on Instagram was massive during my eddsworld phase (BACK IN .. 2020) .

Ponytown as well ?? I used to be MASSIVE on there and the way how i used to colour my ponies forever changed how i colour things now, mostly with the excessive use of highlights on literally EVERY piece . i think a lot about how i could utilize this later on (or maybe turn it down :( )

A further shortlist includes Darkest Dungeon (Video Game) @/jamisonrivv the whole soyjack ordeal (against my will) @/senkkei Red Dead Redemption (ALL MOTIVATION BABYYY) Don't Starve

What's your favorite in-game event you've done with Willow??

I've peaked with Willow like two years ago, when we celebrated our Christmas episode. /lh This story is absolutely ridiculous, but my lovely ST @sandracatharin is (not very active) on Tumblr and she I can force her to confirm that this is actually what took place.

So here goes nothing, Amsterdam by Night, the Christmas episode:

To set the stage, it's December 22 2020 in Amsterdam. There is no pandemic because why would there be a pandemic if we're playing Vampire to escape the pandemic. The Prince of Amsterdam is Adelheid, 10th generation Toreador and Willow's grandmother. Due to some problems caused by Lucas - the coterie Ventrue -, the location of Elysium has to be moved. There is a problem here, though, and that is the fact that Adelheid's Childe (and Willow's Sire) is stuck in torpor in the basement, and the Camarilla think he's dead. Because Lucas caused this move, Adelheid gives the coterie two days to move the body from Old Elysium, to the art gallery where Elysium is being moved to.

Since the coterie's on a time limit, they decide to split up. Lucas and Willow set out to the art gallery, Aminah (Brujah) and Arthur (Tremere) stay behind to help packing up Old Elysium. Lucas and Willow spend some time helping the Sheriff reorganise the archives in New Elysium, both groups peek in some files and learn some information. They reconvene at Old Elysium later that evening, where Willow is the one to reveal a truly ridiculous plan, that should by no means have worked as well as it did.

Her plan is as follows: It's December 22nd, so it's nearing Christmas. Willow at this point lives with her two best friends in an apartment, and one of them is obsessed with Christmas. Willow asks her to buy a massive fake Christmas tree for the occasion, with the intent of putting her Sire's body into the box and moving it that way.

Important things to note on December 23rd include the fact that Willow is dressed as a slutty Christmas Elf (art by @m4rloe5). She wakes up to a ginormous tree in her house, and the coterie comes together to move a body. Willow brings the Christmas tree box, Lucas has arranged for a car, Arthur at this point still worked for the Dutch Forensic Institute, so he arranges a body bag. They go to Old Elysium, but due to the corruption scandal there's journalists flocking around. One of them is persistent, but Willow is an apt liar and easily gets the journalist to leave them alone. The coterie brings their 'Christmas tree' to the basement of Old Elysium, the men struggle carrying Maarten in a box back up the stairs, but eventually they manage to get him back upstairs. When we're leaving with the Christmas tree, Jonathan (the doorman) is a bit confused as to why the fuck we're taking it with us again, but that's nothing he should be breaking his little head about.

They stuff the body into the nondescript van Lucas arranged for. Arthur has spent his time coding a holographic Christmas tree, so there's at least an actual tree in Adelheid's new office. At the New Elysium location, there's more press, and they're making a scene and also asking questions, but no one can ignore the style of a Toreador in a Christmas Elf outfit, so here, too, it's pretty easy to carry this box in. Willow bounces up to the Prince, who is in the midst of a conversation. She declares that they have a gift for her, and Adelheid indicates that her office is upstairs. This throws a wrench into the plan, since the idea was to get the body to the basement. The coterie is not swayed though, and they manage to carry Maarten's body in a cardboard box up to the Prince's office. There's no hidden room off this office, though, so it's not yet ideal, but hey, step whatever is finished! Arthur turns on the holographic Christmas tree he made, and Willow makes her way back to the main hall.

The Prince is still in conversation, Willow interrupts her again, this time to excitedly tell her she has a surprise for her up in her office, that Adelheid simply must come see right now. She agrees and follows Willow upstairs, and she's evidently surprised that Willow and her coterie managed to get this body moved, because by all means it should not have worked. She can't show that she's really pleased, but she mentions that there's an area in the basement here where they can easily stash a body. Lucas isn't particularly happy with this information, but hey, you gots to do what you gots to do, and when Adelheid leaves, they take Maarten's body to the basement. He gets stashed in a broom closet, the box gets placed in a storage room.

The coterie accomplishes this mission by sheer, dumb luck, but Adelheid states later that night that she's glad to see such creativity in her bloodline. There's more problems for the coterie on the horizon, but at this point, they're little baby ducklings who haven't seen shit in the world.

#willowtalking #crownedinmarigolds #the christmas episode was an easier time... this game was played in september 2021. #chronicle: amsterdam by night #perks of being the note taker is that i have notes dating back to the beginning of this chronicle including this entire mess #also congrats if you finished reading this whole post #it's v long and i am sorry #this chronicle and willow live rent free in my head at all times my st can also confirm that

The Doctors arch nemesis and his best frenemy has had many incarnations throughout Doctor who's run.

Milo Parker (2021, Big Finish Audio Plays)

Richard Dreyfus (2017 - 2020, Big Finish Audio Plays) Roger Delgado (1971 - 1973) Peter Pratt (1976) and Geoffrey Beevers (1981) Anthony Ainley (1981 - 1989) Eric Roberts (1996) Alex MacQueen (2012 - 2016, 2021, Big Finish Audio Plays) Derek Jacobi (2007) John Simm (2007 - 2010, 2017)

Michelle Gomez (2014 - 2017)

Gina McKee (2020, 2021, Big Finish Audio Plays)

Sacha Dhawan (2020 - Current)

Some things to note and reason behind who is here and the order

4) I've noted which Masters are Big Finish only and roughly their years playing them. As for the rest, I have listed only their years of T.V appearances to help simplify things, considering Beevers, Roberts, Jacobi, Simm and Gomez have all made BF appearances since their time on the show ended and are likely to continue being involved in BF.

1) Dreyfus was originally marketed as 'The First Master', the original, you might say, however since his controversy and subsequent firing, Big Finish have backtracked and said he isn't necessarily the 'first', only that he is the incarnation that left Gallifrey. Milo Parker, who first appears in Big Finish's 50th anniversary celebration of the Master 'Masterful' is the original incarnation, young and has never left Gallifrey before that story. While it is possible these two incarnations are the same, just at different ages, there's no clear evidence for either arguement, so I opted to include both of them. It also felt weird to leave one or the other out.

3) The 'Extra Crispy' Master, originally played by Pratt and Beevers, is a decayed version of Delgado, who was the original Master (character wise) and the final incarnation of his regen cycle. Subsequent efforts to extend his life caused his body to decay and later, his conscienceness body jumps to both Ainley and Roberts. However, as these bodies are not Time Lords, and incapable of being a permenant solution (although much more capable considering it's implyed he's jumped across MANY bodies), they eventually break down and decay, reverting back to the Crispy Pratt/Beevers body (Who is then completely played by Beevers). So, if I needed to be completly accurate with this chronological order it would go DELGADO - PRATT/BEEVERS - AINLEY - BEEVERS - ROBERTS - BEEVERS. But....I don't want to include him 3 times...that's too crispy....so after some debate where to place him, I decided to just place him in his first appearance order.

5) The Lumiat, played by McKee in 'Missy: Vol 2' BF audios and the 50th celebration 'Masterful' is described as like the Master's Valeyard. Whereas, for the Doctor, the Valeyard was an amalgamation of all his darker and worst traits and machinations between his 12th and final life, The Lumiat is all the good aspects of the Master, distilled into one 'incarnation'. As Missy dies, unable to regenerate, an 'Elysium field' she had on her person activates, breaking down her body to atoms and rebuilding it again, retaining a copy of her conciousness and 'kickstarting a new regeneration cycle', of which, the Lumiat is the first incarnation. However, so far it's not entirely clear if she is a proper incarnation, as this information comes from the Lumiat herself, and her appearance in 'Masterful' treats her like some sort of wraith-entity, like the Valeyard, who does not have any further lives and is killed by Missy in the story. As these two appearances clash with what we know, I decided 'better to be safe than sorry' and included her.

5b) Another thing to mention, she has no real outfit or 'look' bar the tiny glimpse we see on the Missy box art and that she wears a lot of white. I found it pretty...boring to draw so I decided to try and design my own costume, with inspiration (particularly the blue scarf) from other artists fanart of her.

5a) In the process of this, I think I created a pretty cool costume idea for the Doctor (And as the Lumiat admires the Doctor and all the good he does, it stands to reason she'd try to emulate him) with a scarf, high war boots and a white tailcoat with navy lapels. I'm no fashion expert but with some tweaks or colour changes I think it'd be an awesome look for the Doctor, not just the Lumiat.

2) Also present in Big Finish, is the 'Unbound' Master, played by Mark Gatiss. However, he is not included in the line up considering he is the Master from a parallel universe, and not 'our' Master.

What was your inspiration/s for the game ?

This is kind of a tough question. The initial idea for the game that i came up with and vaguely entertained in my head in 2020 focused almost entirely on the "atmospheric horror" "RPGMaker game" aspect of it. Neal and jack didnt really exist i was just like ok i guess there are 2 guys. no idea what their personalities were and it wasnt really important bc th emain focus was atmosphere. So some things that inspired this early idea were 2001: A Space Odyssey (specifically the novels), like vaguely some vaporwave ass liminal space kinda shit, and my impression of RPGMaker horror games without having actually played any of them at the time (i played them later but i didnt really need to). Theres other stuff but theyre for such specific reasons theyd be spoilery

The idea for the game has definitely evolved very far from that. I completely forgot about the idea for a really long time and then suddenly re-remembered it in January 2022 immediately after finishing Disco Elysium, which is now my favorite game of all time. It really sparked a shit ton of motivation in me and realized how much more i could do with the basic idea I'd come up with before. So it was definitely a huge inspiration but I dont think u can expect to find a toooon of specific Disco Elysium DNA in Our Dirge beyond "Well both games are simultaneously funny and serious and it has a painterly art style". Although I will say the portrait art style was definitely super directly inspired by disco elysium even though it still looks quite a bit different

Beyond that i straight up dont know, a lot of the ideas kind of just sprang up out of nowhere which is often how it tends to be for me. Almost none of the music is inspired by anythign it just happened, the idea for jack and neal's personalities passively formed in my mind pretty quickly between late january/early feb 2022, dialogue is done by instinct, art style beyond portraits also just kind of appeared mostly formed in my brain. Im sure a bunch of stuff has influenced me but id be damned to be able to trace any of it

#about me #roscoehamiltons.txt #i think this ask game is just exposing how much of a hag i am lol (do ppl still say hag to refer to an old person on the internet idk) #like 2009 seems so long ago now but also seems like a couple years ago at the same time #some things have changed a lot and some things have still remained the same after all these years #and ngl there's something comforting about it. i've always enjoyed using tumblr and i still enjoy my experience on it even now

[thedreadmachine]

We're here.

Hello Tumblr fam. I'm Alin (@allhailalin), the executive editor of an indie magazine you've probably never heard of (The Dread Machine). We've been publishing dark speculative short stories and poetry since 2020.

We mostly toil in obscurity. We've never won any awards, nor are we ever featured in reviewer blogs. Our marketing game apparently sucks, because nothing we've tried has worked.

As a niche-within-a-niche, we knew profitability was a pipe dream, but we hoped we'd be able to build a solid community and make something awesome together. We've succeeded in that respect. Our Discord server is considered one of the friendliest and most welcoming in the indie publishing space. Our web metrics are bonkers. However, our financial performance sucks, so we've had to stop publishing stories for free in an effort to boost print and digital subscription sales.

I fucking hate this change. I hate that our stories and poetry aren't being read and shared all over the internet. I hate having to "sell" what we're doing. Each quarterly issue costs us between $1,700 and $2,400 to make, so it's not even like it costs a fortune to do this. Our failure to cover even half of our expenses after three years is pretty upsetting, because we know people value what we're doing...they just don't value it enough to help ensure its continuation.

Indie publishers are being taken for granted, and this is why we're all dying off.

Currently, we pay $0.05/word for original fiction and $10 per poem. My goal was to increase our rates to $0.08/word in January of this year, but we're not in a position to increase our overhead any further.

So, I'm here to let you know we exist, and we'd love if you joined us. If you're into writing, science fiction, cyberpunk, slipstream, synthwave, pixel art, video games, and TTRPGs, you should come hang out with us in our Discord server. Maybe consider subscribing or supporting us on Patreon or Ko-fi. Follow us on Kickstarter so you can be alerted when we get desperate enough to run a campaign. You can also follow me on Tumblr, if you like Disco Elysium fan art and synthwave stuff.

Idk man. We're just a bunch of punk asses doing the best we can to keep written art alive. Join us if you're into it. Reblog this and we'll love you forever.

Welcome to my Blog!

Thanks for being here! I'm going to start off this blog with a bit of info about me, my history with games, and my plans for this blog. Come in and see!

Meet The Blogger

You can call me Wham, I've been playing games since i was child with a Gameboy Advance and a well-loved copy of Pokemon crystal, but its really only in the last five years that I've come into any sort of gaming community and had the desire to explore gaming as a hobby and video games as an art form.

Let's start with the kind of games I've enjoyed (and you can check out my Backloggd link in my profile for more)

JRPGs are the big one, and a perennial favorite of mine. Heavy hitters here include the Final Fantasy franchise (X,XII, and XIV especially), the Xenoblade games (especially 3), and the Persona series. I'm currently trying to explore more series that I've missed over the years, like Star Ocean, Trails in the Sky, Tales of, etc.

Rougelikes! Not quite as much these days, but ever since The Binding of Isaac came out, I rode the wave of the indie roguelike scene for a good seven or eight years and have a deep love for where this genre has gone over the years. Notable games for me here are Isaac, FTL, Risk of Rain, Hades, Inscryption, and Darkest Dungeon.

Diablo-style loot RPGs, I've had a long history with these games starting back when I would play Diablo II LAN games with my friend and his dad back in middle school, and games like this have always had a soft spot in my heart. I spent years playing Path of Exile, and I routinely come back to games like Titan Quest and Grim Dawn as well.

Fighting games! This one is pretty new for me, back in 2020 one of my good friends decided he was gonna try to get into Street Fighter, and that caused a small revolution in my friend group that has led to me playing a whole hell of a lot of Guilty Gear Strive, Street Fighter 6, and other assorted games. I'm by no means good at them, but I've been committed to learning and improving at them bit by bit (you'll see in the weekly FGC Corner :) )

Visual Novels/Narrative Games. This one is very much a less cogent genre space, but some of my absolute favorite games can all be loosely put together around these terms. Games like 13 Sentinels, 999, Virtue's Last Reward, Umineko, Misericorde, Perfect Tides, things of that nature.

There are many others out there, so I'll end this section by listing off a bunch of other games that are classics for me: Outer Wilds, Neon White, Just Cause 2, Devil May Cry 5, Blasphemous, Dark Souls/Bloodborne/Elden Ring, Pillars of Eternity 1 and 2, Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous, Rimworld, Disco Elysium, Monster Hunter, and many many others!

The Big Idea

What I mostly want from this blog is to be a space where I can get together at the end of a week and think back about what I've been playing, what I think about it, and whatever else is connected to those feelings. Over the years I've enjoyed seeing other folks thinking and writing critically about the media that they enjoy, and while I hold no aspirations of turning this into anything quite as specific as that, I want to give myself space to spend more time thinking about this hobby which means so much to me. I have no idea how its going to go, if I'm going to like it, or how consistent I will be able to be, but for the time being this is my plan all laid out!

If you've read all this and it sounds interesting to you, or you think you might have tastes that align with mine, feel free to follow along! I'd love to have more people to talk shop with, or even just knowing that some other folks out there might think my words are interesting.

So let's get into it!

Intro

My Itch.io

My alt is @psychoseraphim, and has my general thoughts and shitposts.

I also run @gustavofringtrap, which is a cry for help merely pretending to be an RP blog.

Variety artist creature thing. Made a dark pact with ramen noodles. Video editing is my primary creative outlet, but I also mess with:

Mechanical writing

Creative writing

Digital art

Music

Identity

Transfeminine, use she/her pronouns. Refer to me by my username or as Vivianne preferably.

DNI if you’re any type of bigot, or support generally agreed upon oppressive or morally questionable things. I shouldn’t have to specify if that applies to you or not. Racists, homophobes, transphobes, TERFs, pedos, etcetera. Leave.

Part Ten, Colors 28-30: Ascalaphus

& a bonus epilogue picture, aka-

Huevember, The End!

this month I did a wacky different Huevember wheel in abridged groups of three after I dug it up from the internet and got permission from OP to use it, full wheel can be found over here!

[Huevember 2022, the tag where all ten drawings can be found -] as well as last year’s: [Huevember 2021] [Huevember 2020]

to conclude, Elysium’s bestest curmudgeonly owly man Laphi, who was chosen as my finale just because of the color scheme SSSORRYYYYY IT DOES FEEL ANTICLIMACTIC - Maci saying what we’re ALL thinking - jkjk. honestly that;s just literally any excuse to draw their height difference (sure Maci’s really tall, but Laphi is also... really short) and i was also testing a new brush soooo lol-

Laphi belongs to @fenixethekid! drawing this actually kickstarted in my brain yet another project on my to-draw list at this point we’ll just see what i get to first lmao.

Be sure to use the link up above to see all my  Huevember art from this month theyre all so cute!! and uhh stay tuned for-- whatever i do next hahh

Hello! For the ask game: 6, 18, 24 :)

Thank you!

6. A series you’ve enjoyed since your early days of gaming and still enjoy to this day whether it still has games coming out or is one you return to: A "series" from my "early days of gaming" is very funny to me! I'm still in that era; I'm a beginner gamer. I'd go with A Short Hike, which is technically from my early days of gaming (2020).

18. A game location you really like: I like the Capeside apartments in Disco Elysium. Reminds me of living in Shanghai.

24. A game with a cool art style: Disco Elysium. Please play the disco game...
