The saddest thing is not when there is a boring story. The saddest thing is when there is an expansive lore setting with unique aesthetics but it’s tied to a behemoth of a corporate product so that they can never risk exploring it to its full potential.

No we can’t make any of the characters we want people to buy too morally ambiguous or kill them off. Better play it safe.

No we can’t try new art direction when there is potentially millions of dollars riding on each character’s popularity.

No the story has to revolve around how we release the next update and never have a finish line in sight.

Yeah you know that amazing tidbit of lore. Well it might not be marketable according to complaints on social media so after going in that direction for a bit we axed it so people won’t ever get to experience it.

Nightshadow, character of @overlordrae ! Love her design & I started this for artfight'24 and ran out of time, but I was pleased with the pose and wanted to finish. So another piece I'm sneaking into done here at the end of the year. Happy New Year! 🖤

Forget about torturing your blorbos, putting them through the wringer. I'm putting my blorbo in perfectly ordinary, pleasant situations. Their tortured personality will cause them anguish anyway, making an absolutely mundane scene into the most dramatic, agony filled affair as though the world is ending and it's all their fault

secret santa work for REDO!! this one was heavily inspired by kirei kotomine because i kept rewatching the fate/heaven's feel movies in between working on this

best ship dynamic is when they go from "you fool" (derogatory) to "you fool" (desperate)

i can promise that if i ever create a commercial published project that leads to a fandom and arguments, i will not be going on my official accounts to use my authority to say who is right or wrong. i will be making an anonymous account to partake and make it worse

heyy can we do a sexy roleplay where im a prince from a fallen kingdom and youre the powerful warrior who has taken me for their own pleasure. yes? yipeeee ok so before we start first here's a google doc with the whole history of the fictional land we're both from and the intricate geopolitical workings of the- oh yeah and here's a supplementary doc on the agriculture and trade routes of said fictional land and stuff and yes this is important. the dirty talk has to be lore accurate

Favourite artworks of mine from this year Thanks for sticking around!

I get the impulse to project parent/child type relationships onto characters but sometimes the dynamic you're thinking of is Mentorship

[overlordrae]

yes that’s one of the grimoires
