I'm cackling over how Odysseus Hades 2 says "We rarely get where we must go the fastest way we can." Like, yeah, that's very true and wise of you to say, but also are you sure you're not an extreme outlier here, Mr. Namesake of Circuitous Journeys?

Armor scales and a rare possible scale mold from til barsip.
Photos are from "Tell Ahmar on the Syrian Euphrates: From Chalcolithic Village to Assyrian Provincial Capital" by Guy Bunnens
I'm personally convinced that the molds are indeed for scales.
also note worthy is their opinion that the molds we see from the find were not for large scale production for full suits but rather for the ability to repair damaged armor by replacing individual scales.

What’s also neat to study with screencaps of disney movies is how they use color in their lines. They don’t just pick any colors!
For example, check out Jasmine and Mulan. Both of them have black hair, but we get subtle differences between them.
Mulan, for example, has hair made with dark brown lines. We get the idea that her hair is probably a very deep, deep shade of brown, or that as light filters through her hair, we’re seeing that brown subsurface scattering.
Jasmine, meanwhile, has hair that is so deep black we sometimes see it as blue. This is black hair with cool undertones, as opposed to Mulan’s hair with warm undertones. Which in pure color speak is impossible, but is something that happens with hair, since hair is mildly translucent and reflective.
You can even compare that further with Esmeralda, who has grey lines that give the illusion of neutral undertones.
They can also use color to give characters that fantasy feel or the feel of completely unnatural hair. Princess Aurora, for example, has technically darker hair than Charlotte LaBouff. But, with the lighter outlines? Aurora’s hair looks absolutely fairytale golden, while Lottie’s looks like a more natural flaxen blonde.
How disney uses color isn’t the be-all end-all, but they can give you some really neat ideas for showing a lot of information in a condensed drawing.
