BENS!! i forgot how fun drawing/designing pastas can be,,, i’m re obsessing
ramble down here btws,, //death mentions since he is a ghost
ok so ben is an old fave and i have thoughts. this first new hc design isn’t that remarkable except for the fact that instead of trying to make ben look like a dark/‘corrupted’ link, i tried to draw him like a kid in a hand-stitched link costume.
i will be drawing/writing(?) ben as a kid btw, specifically a ghostly 12 year old kid whose hobbies include trying to stress his cohabitants into early retirement.
the ben fullbody on the left is a slightly more corporeal form that he uses when out in the open and interacting with people in person. while still ghostly (like. swipe at him and your hand will go straight through him kinda ghostly) it’s more solid and has more of his features that he possessed before his death. he floats!! that’s his main mode of transportation in the open. he floats.
the one on the right is one that you’d see onscreen! he’s quite literally ‘rendered’ differently giving his victims that patented dread associated with ben. uncanny valley yk
when scared or upset his pupils vanish leaving you with those empty dark scleras. this doesn’t happen often though!
anyways that’s all for now!! an anon asked me to draw hoodie so i’m off to go do that :)
Song is “Haunted” Laura Les, cw for a bit of blood (green and red) and potentially flashing lights? It’s the screen turning (mostly) white once, and an overlay/sliding image effect for 2 backgrounds.
wow... what a season. it feels weird to say that this little 6-episode side quest, in all of the 19 seasons of d20, is one of my favorites they've ever done but it just is. it had all the stakes and humor and drama that you could possibly want, all balanced with an incredible cast of players. the table chemistry was excellent, the characters were so perfectly themselves, the TROPES were OFF THE CHARTS!
i can't quite remember the last time i finished something and ached so sharply for there to be more. i just know I'm gonna be thinking about this one for a long time
Thanks for creating my new hyperfocus! (Seriously, I feel the need to absorb absolutely EVERYTHING I can about this game, tysm)
Ask: If a child "adopted" Mychael (Consider him a brother, despite his unique appearance), how would he react?
Oh, interesting question! I think,, he'd be kinda put off in the sense of,,, why would you wanna do that? Adopting? Establishing family bonds? With outsiders?? How does that even work you weirdo. Gosh humans are strange.
If you're close with him, he'd be interested to see how it pans out (though he's confused why you can't just be friends instead of having this weird adopted sibling relationship) If you're not that close, he'll just dismiss the idea entirely.
