Ending the year right with a new game (Kingdoms of Amalur) and some Astarion doodles.

This was the year of self-indulgent art and relearning how to draw for myself after college. Things didn't take off until October, but they did take off.

Had a number of false starts on several projects, abandoned a few, went weeks without posting (or drawing), but I managed to eek out at least one finished piece every month this year (and learned a ton in the process)!

Thanks to all of you who interact with my blog and my art. Here's looking forward to an even better 2024!

Played more kingdoms of amalur..was not expecting the revelation of your (forgotten) pre-resurrection life to be "yeah you were a necromancers assistant. also you were really suspect and violent and a huge dick to everyone. you got yourself killed doing something stupid"...i really thought it was just gonna be "oh you were a [blank slate protagonist] soldier and you died but you were the specialest ever so your resurrection worked when all the others failed". pleasant surprise

kingdoms of amalur: reckoning is really fun and pretty

hey! if i recall correctly, you were a writer on kingdoms of amalur? after playing the demo over 10 years ago, i finally got around to playing the entire thing thanks to humble choice and re-reckoning. just wrapped up the main an hour ago and just wanted to hear where you were at with the game these days. what was your favourite part to write? what did you think turned out best? were there any darlings you had to kill as per the saying? and anything else you want to share about it

Aw, I’m so glad to hear you got a chance to play it! It did kind of disappear into the void for a while, so I’m glad that you got a chance to return to it! There are so many good games out there, and only so much time to play them, so thanks for spending your time on one of my babies!

So, I was responsible for building the main questline (along the broad story outlines of the higher-up folks, of course), and I still have fond memories of working on it. My favorite was writing for Agarth, which makes sense when you realize the character’s broad personality was basically just me. Originally, he was supposed to die early in the story, but people liked the character so much we kept him alive and made his inexplicable survival part of the story!

As for darlings that ended up on the cutting room floor, there were lots (as there always are for big games like this), but the one that hurt was the original plan for the final boss fight. Originally, you were supposed to slowly learn how to summon those alternate versions of yourself, and you beat the boss by summoning every infinite alternate version of yourself to team up and defeat them — literally using the freedom from fate as your weapon. But the realities of production meant that fight scene had to be scaled back and those “alternate selves” became enemies you fought. Not as narratively satisfying, I felt, but that’s how games go.

That said, my real regret is how the studio closed, terribly and painfully for everyone involved (look up Big Huge Games and 38 Studios to read that tale of woe, I won’t repeat my teary story here). It also meant we never got to work on the sequel, and I had a really exciting alternate take on the classic “orc” trope that I was sad never got to see light. My write-up for their culture and gameplay is still sitting in my design portfolio, waiting for the right project to take root…

Faes are so dramatic. Bro what is your problem??

#kingdoms of amalur #house of ballads #it's like an overdramatic roleplay that went too far and lady of windermerre just wants to not play bad guy anymore #the fae playing lady of wi #the lady playing as maid of windermerre atleast

everybody [exaggeration] I know is playing BG3 and having fun with the emotional trauma of Durge and I'm over here

like.

yes, I too am playing the game where I'm a goody-two-shoes amnesiac who is horrified to find out that they used to be a REALLY terrible/violent/ruthless individual <------ [is playing Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning]

#NO IT'S NOT THE SAME. OBVIOUSLY. #but you get it #j says things #at this point tho i think when i finally get bg3 my durge is gonna have to be inspired by my fateless one #kingdoms of amalur #kingdoms of amalur spoilers #like. okay. I'm under the impression that technically the fateless one was always on the good team #they were just really into the ends justifying the means #now mine is a kleptomaniac who didn't understand the concept of stealing for two months #and helps literally everyone who asks even if they're shady AF #even if that means having to clean up her own messes because Oops Helped A Douchebag #i could be incorrect about the details of the fateless one's origins btw #haven't beat the game yet. just heard some stuff #i know they were Not Nice tho

Replaying Kingdoms of Amalur after YEARS and I had forgotten how much I LOVE fighting with Faeblades and Chakrams. I add: how much I LOVE the concept of the faeblades. It is so much fun to turn around rainning death on everyone like I'm some kind of human spinning top. Gold.

Also, story wise? The concept of the Fae and their cycles and fate and so on in the universe is so... Well done and gorgeous? Yeah it is changing but still! Like the House of the Ballads and the Tellings and when we think that At Some Point in the Past these Tellings hadn't happened yet but now they are so integral to their worldview... It is well done. Very well done.

Also the world is amazing and I had forgotten how damn pretty and inspiring the fae places are. I want to enter the game and sink in the waters of the City of Ysa. I want to paint while in the House of Ballads. I want to sit and just Exist in the numerous old places of their people.

Just... Damn I had forgot how much I loved this game the first time I played.

Actually putting these two side by side is both weird and pleasing

I played Kingdoms of Amalur Re-Reckoning back when I was saving up to get a ps5 to play bg3, the random character Syvin I slapped together for it grew on me, partially because I just had a great time with it and partially because the way I played him fit the story really well without knowing anything about it lol second bg3 playthrough I decided to put Syvin through the bs and have the idea of koarr as his background

He’s been living in my head rent free and he has his own personal background now and all that stuff but the original concept of him from koarr is still so much fun

#now I just gotta find a pleasing middle combing the designs #i love his koarr tattoo but the bg3 ones grew on me #and then just like #wtf does this man wear #I’ve put him through so many wardrobe changes #tkc OC Syvin #koarr #kingdoms of amalur #kingdoms of amalur re:reckoning #bg3 #bg3 tav #trying to get ref pics for his koarr version almost makes me wanna go play it again

with baldur's gate 3 releasing this week, i finally decided to scribble out some of the incarnations of my girl vashka. usually, she's my go-to for rpgs. she won't be my first playthrough of bg3 (that'll be sidhe) but i feel like she'll be a lot of fun as a gloom stalker ranger

maybe i'll slap colours on this eventually

#characters #vashka #kingdoms of amalur #dragon's dogma #the modern one is more generic #not fully sold on the mantle for the trophy set #think it could be better with a proper cape #instead of the mantle #but that's for future reli to think about

Oh shit, they let me join her! Hero X Maid of Windemere forever. 😎🫶🏾
