Taako & Lup VS Timerra & Fogado

Part A, Round 2, Match-Up 4

(Image description: a cover image designed in a zig-zag split screen way. The middle part says "the adventure zone" in all caps with the font tilted in order for it to look like the text is coming at you. The rest of the images are all, presumably, facets of the story, such as playing cards, a nondescript hero in a cape, something that looks like possibly spaceships, etc. end description)

(image description: the cover of a nintendo switch game. The title is "fire emblem engage", with the last word beneath the first two. Above the title are a bunch of colourful characters holding swords and staring at various points beyond the image. End description)

Taako & Lup have so far defeated Ellie & Scooter

Timerra & Fogado have so far defeated Rock & Roll

I’m still on my Michael Sheen Ned Chicane fancast agenda btw

On the one hand, I want to write complex, richly crafted characters and explore their psyches and what makes them tick.

On the other hand, I want giant set piece encounters where two people whack at each other with swords five hundred feet in the air, and just when it looks like one of them has won, the other guy pulls out an even bigger sword.

So I wanted to draw a lil' something in celebration of The Adventure Zone hitting ten years old this year! Which turned into me drawing a pretty big something featuring (almost) every player character from (almost) every campaign from these past ten years.

So here's to Adventure Zone Balance, Amnesty, Commitment, Dust, Graduation, Hootenanny, Ethersea, Dadlands, Steeplechase, Versus Dracula, and everything that's still to come!

me and grace are locking in our year name predictions early

[duck-newton]

been infodumping about taz balance to my roommate and the other day she referenced Lup but forgot her name and, with full confidence, called her Crunchwrap

Best character with a color name

Round 1 Poll 32

Amber is "a variable color averaging a dark orange yellow" according to Merriam Webster

Gris is French for Gray

(Ambergris is "a waxy substance found floating in or on the shores of tropical waters, believed to originate in the intestines of the sperm whale, and used in perfumery as a fixative" according to Merriam-Webster)

recently got the opportunity to make charms using some of my Ethersea art!!

I’ve ordered just these four samples for now, but if enough people were interested I’ve been entertaining the idea of opening a little shop to sell a few of them! I’m also planning on trying to make this Coriolis shaker charm I did some time ago real, ordering a standee of this piece, as well as designing a couple more additional things!!

I was initially making all of this merch just for myself bc I need objects of my blorbos to live, but since several of my friends have expressed interest in owning them, I thought I’d see how the wider ethersea nation felt abt it too!

(you can find the full art used in these charms here and here! (since the photos aren’t very good LOL they look better in person))

Id like you all to know that in economics class we’re doing this stock market challenge thing, and I set my username to Barry Bluejeans as a joke. Somehow im both in second place and completely anonymous, which has resulted in several people asking, outloud, with complete oblivious sincerity, “who the fuck is barry bluejeans” and it makes my day every single goddamn time
