So I spoke somewhat about my thoughts on Emanator Sampo here, but I never really thought of it from a design point of view or what kind of powers he would have until just recently. But I actually kind of love leaning into it from a "stage hand" perspective?

Because like. Aha's body in THEIR official art is completely black, giving attention to all the fun brightly colored things around THEM. And that's so fitting for Sampo! He usually prefers to be a side character. He likes to act from the shadows. His is a much more subtle hand.

So I wonder if as an Emanator, a lot of his clothes are actually very dark? Not necessarily plain, still extravagant and needlessly detailed in things like cut and quality with lots of different fabrics and textures and ornamentation, but dark. Or maybe even his skin itself becomes blackened further down his body; his hands in particular are dark, as a sort of sleight of hand reference.

The motif of a lot of straps wrapped around him like in his canon design is still present, but they're all loose and flowing off of him like paper streamers now instead of restraining him or holding him together. He is no longer contained! Or maybe they're still a bit more rigid/heavy, but just draped more like red stage curtains!

And this is like. Fully self-indulgent, but I love inhuman designs, and there's nothing in canon to say I can't do this, so screw it! Go for broke!! Maybe it's not visible to normal people, but Sampo having a second set of arms would be really cool, as further sleight of hand reference. One set is almost normal looking, but his hands are a bright, attention-drawing white, and the other is dark, set almost in the shadows of the first arms, to act less noticeably.

He also has something of a broken heart design to him in canon (the front of his black shirt with its jagged shape down the middle; his coat looks like a full heart shape in the back), and I actually like him keeping that element as an Emanator, because I think it suits him. Sampo says his taste in aesthetics and views on Elation involve human dignity,

and the story he helps create in Belobog involves the long and winding road of resistance and survival and eventual triumph in the face of some very adverse, oppressing odds. (I'm pretty sure I heard he once called Wildfire "artless" though, plus the man acts like he thinks Shame is some kind of dessert, so like ndkdjzjskkd) But the point being!!

I think Sampo is someone who can appreciate heartbreak and angst and tragedy in a story, because it makes the victory at the end all the sweeter. And this would be another thing he shares with Aha, because I think THEY did bless the Mourning Actors partly just to be a little shit, but also because Aha does recognize tragedy as part of THEIR Path, too, and you can see it in some of the game. So a broken heart motif can still suit him, and I like him having elements of both comedy and tragedy. Like his clothing having a happy sun/sad moon (like the moon in Aha's art) or him having both of the traditional comedy/tragedy masks in his design.

And as Emanator, Sampo can maybe play with the stage settings environment, too. Like lights sometimes behave strangely around him, appearing blindingly bright to someone or dramatically dark. Sampo wills it and suddenly there seems to be a metaphorical spotlight right where he wants everyone to look. And when he doesn't want to be noticed, his face seems to be cast in shadow, he seemingly just fades into the background, no one notices or recognizes him and he sneaks away easily. He can create smoke or fog literally out of thin air without his bombs now, too, the air will just suddenly thicken until his stage is obscured, and Sampo can set the scene as he pleases or disappear without a trace.

And in line with being a stage hand, Sampo can direct attention like no other. He was already extremely good at this as a normal mortal, and becoming an Emanator only took it up to 11, past human limits. Sampo points, and all present feel compelled to follow his fingertip. He looks away, and they all follow his gaze. He can even affect the mood of an audience; he can influence everyone to be calm and placid or he can whip them into a feverish frenzy. Sometimes a crowd will start to become unsettled, agitation stirring until it boils over, until it incites a full on violent mob.

And in the middle of all that chaos will stand one perfectly calm figure, face cast in shadow, until they quietly slip away out of sight.

#sampo koski #hsr sampo #emanator sampo #hsr sampo koski #honkai star rail #hsr #they were talking about Emanator Sampo designs in the Sampard Nation server one night and somehow THAT was what got my mind going fjkdaljfk #there was also talk of him making monsters explode in confetti or making their heads pop off like a jack-in-the-box (my contribution hehe) #which is hilarious but just wasn't super relevant here jfklasdj #(I miss bouncing around ideas like that...if anyone knows another sampard server or even just a sampo-dedicated one hit me up!) #(i would love to join and would probably even have friends to bring!!) #but anyway yes I love Emanator Sampo being stage hand themed haha it's very fun with him #I have a lot of screenshots so I wanna try to use them for things like this more! #I think its in SU where it says Aha isn't as powerful an aeon as some of the others like Qlipoth or Lan or Nanook #so I like Sampo's powers being less direct and not just pure destructive power like a lot of the Destruction Emanators #it lets you get real creative with it <3 #maybe next I'll bring over my thoughts on his mask design? Ooh but I wanna talk about Geppie too... #Geppie protecting his soldiers from Cocolia or the actions he could have taken or his very sweet relationship with Bronya- #-or him being inspired by Serval or his HILARIOUS relationship with Pela... #Decisions decisions...

#monolawg #was trying to make myself feel better recently by thinking about how #there's a very popular furry artist ive had several mutuals rave over #whose art i think is straight up Sexless. too smooth and boringly attractive #so its fine if i think my art is sexless bc others seem to like it #but its not workinggg....i hate it so much idk how ppl find anything i draw hot #its an anatomical drawing. like in a medical textbook. sexless in the other direction #feeling bad w comms rn. #also while im here im struggling bc i once saw advice that said not to focus on things you DONT LIKE wrt art #bc thats too negative. so instead of saying ''i dont want my art to look like x'' you say ''i want my art to look like y'' #and idk. nothing inspires me so intensely bc im not creative #so im just hung up on how i dont want it to look. with no solution or escape. just self hatred. alas... #i dont want it to look like this... #AND FINALLY #my theory as to why i hate my furry art is #ppl put out epic human art that inspires me daily #and i take and steal and frankenstein it into my own #but 95% of furries copy that one same style and theres less inspiration #so im going off of Nothing im jst going off Myself which i Hate.

Patreon question

I'm focusing hard on budgeting, and one of the things I want to do more of in the coming year is support independent creators/small groups on Patreon and Substack, even if I can only do a little bit at a time. I have a few creators I already support on Patreon, and two on Substack, but I'd love to support more.

I know you've got creators that you love to support on these platforms! Tell me who you support and why you started supporting them if you have creators that are especially unique or near and dear to you. Anything and everything, across the board, I love supporting small business and I love finding new people and niches I never heard about before. There're no wrong answers here!

#I support a few freelance artists and writers and a couple of content creators like Crash Course and Jo Beckwith #I want to hear anything and anyone you've cared enough about to donate to/support! #ALSO FOR THE LOVE OF GOD. IF WE ARE MUTUALS OR FRIENDS AND YOU HAVE A KO FI OR A PATREON LET ME KNOW #THAT IS NOT A REQUEST THAT IS AN ORDER (unless you really truly don't want to. but if you just feel like it's too prideful or not a #'big enough' thing/deal or you don't want to 'bother me'. DO IT. I WANT TO HAVE YOU ON MY LIST TO SUPPORT IF I CAN #I often rotate small amounts of money to different creators every few months in a cycle so I can spread it around still even though #I can't help much. it feels so good to do and makes me feel like I do when I shop a true small or local business. direct action babyyy etc #especially if the creator is going through a health crisis like Physics Girl #2024 #to do #reply here or send me a dm or drop an ask in my inbox or make a post and tag me #whatever #i want to hear why you love what you love #i want to hear what you care about so much you already do or want to in the future financially support it #the world is full of so much amazing work and inspiring creativity and massive efforts #i love learning about them so i get to acknowledge and witness and support them too #i love GitHub for the same reason lol

i never got around to sharing this photo from my masters graduation; i exhibited a few of my mass effect and destiny pieces to go alongside my research on neurodivergence and transformative works <3 (there was also a little plinth with some of my weaving and handpainted dessert plates but nothing exciting enough to share tbh)

also sharing these because i use this gorgeous warm, matte art paper for my prints and i am always so in love with how much better my art looks printed on it, though the photos do not do this baber justice . . .

#destiny the game #mass effect #art show #i thoroughly enjoyed my masters and the freedom to self direct and hyperfixate 600 pages into existence #weekly checkins to see where everyones at were so inspiring and motivating #and it was nice to be part of a creative community again after health crisis and plague ate almost 4 years of my life #this happened at the beginning of september 2022 so uhhh when am i #own work

my humble offering is that i (as a writer) would love a reverse bang they’re so much less common and there are so many amazing inspiring atla artists

Ohh anon *there* is an idea! I will admit I have less idea how to go about structuring/running one of those, but there are a number of amazing artists around here who have directly inspired scenes and whole fics so I would absolutely be down.

#Might be sending a lot of polls around to figure this out haha #Ideally it could be collaborative for both parties so everyone is feeling like creatively engaged and inspired #Vs like receiving a directive and just needing to make it work

[leonardcohenofficial]

the way that i am so good at coming up with stage pictures/shot composition for scenes that exist in my brain and yet have no time or patience to come up with the rest of the storytelling aspects in order to frame these moments

#and they always come in dreams! watching faults 2014 before bed last night ended up giving me (in a very roundabout way) such a clear #image of a scene that showed up in my dream last night and i wrote it down and thus can't stop thinking about it but have no other #storytelling elements to get it into any type of context...........maybe i will sleep on it again and gain more inspiration............ #literally if i were more visually inclined outside of directing i would draw or paint or photograph what's in my brain because it's still #just chilling in there waiting for me to do something creative with it but i need more to be able to do things with it but i need to be able #to do something to create more etc. etc. #maybe i should just quit the phd for real and pursue cinematography (this is a joke but is it)
