Mystra showed him the secrets beneath the veils. The gossamer veils first, draped across the Weave. The delicate veils next, draped across her body. 'Chosen One' she whispered, as she slipped them off completely.
poor gale :'(
- the dialogue is from ea gale's explanation about his folly
- i kinda like that she ended up looking like a mother-of-pearl inlay lacquerware!
- oh this was a subconscious choice, but Gale is sitting in seiza which is a posture for showing respect especially to elders. it's also known to be a painful position to sit in for extended periods of time, which is why it was sometimes used as a method of (morally dubious) punishment. however, experienced people can maintain this posture for much longer. food for thought :-)
- (edit: deleted this point bcs it didn't really make sense + detracted from the art a little;;)
#also had other companion drawings w gale and mystra planned for this but none of them are complete... perhaps another day#mystra#baldur's gate 3#bg3#bg3 fanart#gale of waterdeep#gale dekarios#my art#hm i dont have many opportunities to share my mystra thoughts so!#mystra is incredibly difficult to redesign and draw! I want to give her a fantastical element to her while retaining her austere aloofness#(her unassuming design is actually surprisingly effective in making her seem so effortlessly powerful)#I love spiderweb imagery and braids(weave) for her but braids make her seem so... kind? very soft? i'll try again another day...#is this seriously my last post of 2023. goddamn

Hoyoverse: We don’t have favourites, we like all the adepti equally
Also Hoyoverse:



#genshin impact#genshin memes#lantern rite#xianyun#cloud retainer#moon carver#mountain shaper#genshin 4.4#the awful quality for the boys is totally intentional#definitely not because I took screenshots on my phone#and have to play at the worst visual quality#on the one hand they're a lot more inconspicuous#on the other... it's just so funny seeing them together#I actually don't mind the designs for the guys. it's just funny

MiqoMarch Day 29 - Smile
Just imagine what's around the bend~

#ffxiv#ffxivgpose#miqomarch#miqomarch2025#Arsay nun#Kea Lurvis#Ehryu Raav#Lehon'a Nhavareh#X'vahl Tia#Sori Salbari#Nanariya wuwuriya#mira nun#motek nun#koana ffxiv#wuk lamat#okay this is the most gramphic design is my passion type layout ive ever done but I kinda just wanted to experiment a little?? idk#I actually read the lyrics to this song and it made me very emotional lol its just very heartwarming i really like the song#like the first verse feels very arsay and the second feels almost like her going through ultima thul tbh#and some of it feels like the ancients singing to her tho i know its meant to be from the voices of the lost turali people#anyways thank you to those who let me borrow your wol <3I had a few crowd shots in mind at first and realized I had room to throw a few bud#I really did want to go around and ask for a few more but I had to stop before I let myself get overwhelmed ^^'#We got Ehryu and Kea singing as they love to do (Arsay got pulled into swaying around with Ehryu which she is happy to do but shes not#-going to ruin the mood by singing herself LOL)#Lehon'a is clapping along to the beat (I recall her being a very good percussionist !) and Nanariya and cheering and clapping as he eats#stuck the au kid retainers in there because I love them. Maybe they just came back from a venture and caught Arsay mid meal#Then I wanted X'vahl to be walking beside Erenville because ErenVahl brings such joy to me#I imagine they are considering lunch before they head off back to Xak Tural#Sori Urianger and Thancred are just coming back from Kozama'uka. I remember seeing that Sori dislikes crowds so having a group of mamool ja#and scions running towards her might get her a little startled!

I once had a conversation with someone on here where I (history major at the time) was attempting to describe how I thought business majors spent their time, and I think I said something like “I think its just a bunch of people in suits shaking each others hands, smiling disingenuously, and saying ‘business’ back and forth at each other.”
And now I have a job where I am occasionally required to do things like “listen to a lecture series on Business Analysis: Working with Stakeholders Using Elicitation and Collaboration” and my main (only) take away is that I was absolutely correct on all counts except that I did not include enough buzz words
#this is not the kind of information my brain is designed to retain#the ghost ship babbles to herself in the night

my quest for the front facing lenny
i'm expecting this to be less useful than it is entertaining, because there is a good reason why they do not draw lennies from the front: really difficult
these get kind of close?? they look better to me when the beak doesn't break out of the outline of the head, i think, which sucks for me because it means i have to tweak my sculpture lol
this artist was very brave- this is probably the closest thing to a depiction of a front facing modern Lenny

these are kind of unrelated but i'm posting them mostly because i think they look funny as hell, but i appreciate the ambitious concept
and finally, the holy grail:
oh my god
#neopets#lenny#another interesting curiosity: there IS some art of the Modern Lenny that retains the seam for the 'hat' on the old lenny??#it just looks really weird because the 'hat' just looks like feathers in the modern design. so instead of looking like its wearing a hat#it just looks like it has a random line across its face#probably the reason why they scrapped it- i wonder if it was originally in the redraw and they edited it out for the final#but the first pass still ended up making it into some site assets

the problem with having a friend to talk about genshin with is that we have invented a genshin impact that is better than canon in my opinion. What do you mean all the things we have added aren’t real.
#my post#Some choice things we’ve talked about recently include: Shenhe punching a ghost out of someone#Rhinedottir being Chevreuse’s biological mother (based on my initial hope she was related to the abyss by design)#Chasca being Cloud Retainer’s biological kid is peak to me#The Arlefuri spy battle. Shinobu and Yae Miko. The list goes on#We’ve also invented a joint genshin OC who I really wish was real (Ix I love you. Weird woman lovers unite)#And shes helped make my personal Genshin oc way better#Overall thank you Claire. I love you <3#Anyways I’m off to bed and thinking about Ix and Nahida for tonight’s little going to bed treat

I’m trying to put together a waterpark au so here is me trying to figure out Suns design
Hoping to have more stuff out soon but I’m having a lot of fun developing this!
#next is moons design#suns rays are based on the feathered serpent head#these animatronics are entirely waterproof so they are fully submersible#in the event of an emergency the animatronics are able to retain water in their frame to add to their weight#sb daycare attendant#daycare attendant au#sb sundrop#sb sun#waterpark au#crunch art#I will go into more about this au later but what is set in stone now is the waterpark has two themes#sun is the Aztec mascot#moon is the tiki mascot#waterspark

Love your au to bitss!! Gives me itches in my brain in the most /pos way possible<3
If you don't mind I might make some oc insert stuff with your au in the future! Although a small question before I do that–
What if Frank and Eddie (+Howdy hehe) already have children. Like these kids were just other neighbors in the show that somehow didn't get sucked into whatever dilemma the cast are now in. The kids are just lost somewhere and the dads just miss them. What would Peony think when she finds out about them through the dads? And would she accept new siblings 👁️👁️
And yeah that kinda makes Fionn a grandpa lmao
Thanks so much!! <3 And go for it, draw OC inserts I love em!!
I need to work on it more, but Frank, Eddie and Howdy do get children in one potential "ending" to the AU, as in the puppets manage to go home and their world greets them back magically - and when Frank and Eddie go home, they go upstairs and find this lil goober as a baby:
Meet Florian!! An exact blueprint of Papa Eddie in every sense, this lil guy, when not taking naps left right and centre, is accompanying Eddie on his post rounds, helping him deliver letters like his papa would with his mother when he was young! He loves all three of his dads, playing with Father Frank and clinging to Daddy Howdy while he works!
I should also mention that in this ending, Fionn, Cassidy and Peony find a way to go to Home and magically become puppets, and well -
Let's say Peony wasn't too thrilled meeting Florian at first
#welcome home#welcome home au#welcome home oc#real world au#frank frankly#eddie dear#frank x eddie#frank x eddie x howdy#chezzy ocs peony#chezzy ocs florian#Peony's puppet design might change#but I wanted her to be a mix of frank and howdy#while retaining Finnigan puppet features#since Fionn would be a rabbit puppet#also peony has SEVERE attachment issues#she's lived in foster care and resented Fionn for not bringing her in at first

when the wizard is swagless 😳😍
#dragon age#dragon age the veilguard#dragon age spoilers#this outfit looks better in dark environments which would make sense given his job and I’m hoping it actually means something about his#personality. like even tho hes a necromancer the gaudier colours suggest hes cheerful? something like that#still foul however#dragon age clothing and armour has never really been one of its strong points for me but#lucanis has a very clean utilitarian design that makes me think o he’s a professional which I like too#also like that harding and varric are clearly retaining the southern thedas style#ANYWAY

paradox kyurem - torn figment, the false deity
weaker and more animalistic in behavior than the legendary pokemon it shares striking similarities with, torn figment’s relation to the original dragon of unova has been hotly debated since its discovery. however, most experts agree that it’s likely a different creature entirely.
#pokemon#kyurem#zekrom#reshiram#pokemon sv#torn figment#meepmorps#fakemon#cobalion stole its original descriptor (crown/crowned) so i had to change it lol#paldea#guy who is the exact antithesis to what went into my og dragon design (messy and unbalanced frankensteins monster)#though it retains some tiny echoes of taijirum to allude to small vague scraps of it remaining in unova's memory
