okay so imagine a low magic fantasy setting, like Game of Thrones, where there's a war going on, but the king of one of the sides or factions has a magic mirror. A magic mirror that lets them talk with or even spy upon anyone who has a mirror that's had a magic rune carved into the frame.
Imagine how much this would tip the scale. The enemy has to communicate via letters sent by birds, or maybe human couriers. depending on the size of the countries, it could take months for messages to get back and forth from the front lines to the capitals. This is part of why some kings would go into war themselves, but the king with the magic mirror can lead his armies in real time from miles upon kilometers away.
symbiotic relationship between a crash landed alien vessel holding supposedly water and a hearty knight turned melancholy as a result of the ecstacy pumped straight into its blood
Full little guy for my invoice banners. It was supposed to be a kind of illuminated 'O' for the start of my name but I had to crop it so close that it didn't work anymore lol
July Art Challenge: Mario Princesses Historical Fashion
This was a piece I struggled with for months because I didn’t feel like the lineart was turning out the way I wanted. I’m grateful I forced myself to finish this for my July Art Challenge, because I’m really happy that I was able to finally express this concept!
I thought it would be really interesting to show the Mario princesses in some kind of historical fashion, and when I was thinking about what time period to do, I realized that three different time periods fit these three different ladies! So Daisy ended up with some medieval, vaguely 1100-1300s fashion. Rosalina is Rococo (pre French revolution), and Peach is Victorian!
I looked up a lot of historical references to cobble together, and then I found several variations of each character to tie in their essential details. It was interesting to realize that their Smash Bros designs incorporate a lot of lace that is not in the original, so each character actually had a line of lace somewhere on their design in my drawing.
