#Red veil

[improveordie]

so im remaking an old picture of mine i did when i was 17. i wanted to see how i would remake this concept at my current level starting with re interpreting the concept. red veil, golden head dress, backlit and holding roses. a saint/holy vibe and a teal background. i remember that i wanted the original image to feel a bit foreboding and i wanted to focus more on that in this version.

Day 10 | Graffiti

I wanted to take it easy today so I did a self indulging horror panel to remember one of my favorite missions >:)

I started this about 2 months ago but it's finished now... creative energy is basically absent but anyway! Have some Gabriel. This started as an experiment. I'm not sure if I like how it turned out, which is why I gave up on it for ages.

It is funny that they retroactively made the death cult catholic. There isn't even catholicism anymore at that point but the assassin fire cult still manages to be catholic somehow

no one else is really talking about how the 'chains of harrow' quest ruins warframe entirely, so i'll add my rambling (if i misunderstood something let me know):

from the jump, it's obvious that rell is autistic. perhaps too obvious, as a minigame of sorts with emotion flash cards is used throughout the quest, really trying to drive home how he has a harder time recognizing and understanding emotions. oh, and he's implied to be a savant because of course he is. so many autistic characters that were written by allistic writers are stereotypical savants and it really annoys me.

also: there's a part in rell's flashbacks where he briefly asks to be "fixed" before his mom reminds him that he's "not broken". i honestly feel conflicted about this part because yes, autistic people need no cure and should have our differences accepted and understood, but the way it's brought up here rubs me the wrong way.

this flashback also makes palladino suggest that the "emotions he so often failed to grasp" are the key to restoring his humanity which-- okay. no one is EVER "less human" because they don't feel or understand emotions in the same way as other people. but that's what this quest seems to imply by that, and that's just not how you should talk about autistic people.

also rell's whole situation is being used for horror, adding onto a long line of tales made by neurotypicals where any mind deviating from the norm is something to be feared. speaking of that, here's the big plot point that pisses me off.

rell was on the zariman ten zero ship, along with the rest of the children who would become tenno. he was cast away by the rest of the children, and margulis for his "weirdness". this means that to some degree, your player controlled operator is COMPLICIT in ostracizing an autistic child and essentially leaving him to die.

this detail pisses me off so much that it made me uninstall the game. now okay, i'm not saying you can't write about autistic people dealing with ostracization and neurotypical bullshit, but the way it all was handled here is fucking awful. and since rell plays a crucial role in other lore details, this is something i can't just brush aside.

so im remaking an old picture of mine i did when i was 17. i wanted to see how i would remake this concept at my current level starting with re interpreting the concept. red veil, golden head dress, backlit and holding roses. a saint/holy vibe and a teal background. the row below are my very first sketches in left to right order, figuring out the basics of mood and light and pose.

the image above is the original painting and i was super proud of it and you know i had a right to be, its still a nice piture and i gave it my all at the time. in the new version i move on to fleshing things out and playing with the silhouette a bit. sort of regretting not putting more movement into the piece, maybe next iteration i will think of that from the start.

it was when i reached this point that my too much gene kicked in and i started adding in a whole bunch of stuff to "up" the image. i think at this point i had been staring at it for so long i was getting bored with it and feeling a need to "punch it up"

while i do like alot of these versions the initial feeling of a cold and silent sort of "death saint" or pinhead-y feeling i wanted was lost and i was starting to move into a sisters of battle/40 k territory. which is also cool! but not what i was aiming for. so...i flipped through my progress shots (always save out jpgs of versions thoughout your progress) until i found one i still liked so 8 steps backwards it was. on the left is the version where i stopped and realised i had lost the cake under the icing and the right is what i moved back too and refined instead of adding.

refining and poishing up in areas of focus. experimented with different ways of enhancing the image, per great feedback but finally decided to only do minimal things to not crowd the image. final image here

Okay, since Jason Todd in canon loves reading, and given how dramatic my boy is, I can 100% see him being into historical musicals.

In short, Jason is 100% a Hamilton fan.

Upon realizing that he cannot sing all parts him self (and believe me, he has tried), he allows Shane to sing with him. Jason gets to be Hamilton, of course, but Shane can be all of the other characters.

Then, he realizes that he and Shane cannot sing all parts by themselves, so he allows Macy to sing the women parts.

Artemis is very confused as to what is going on when the entire team, including Bizarro, burst out into “My Shot” when Jason is onto his last round.

How did you feel about Rell?

"Rell... Rell was a tragedy. Not only another one of the Orokin's many sins, but also a sin of his brothers and sisters. Not cast out once, but twice. I was always ashamed of how he was treated, especially after everything rapidly deteriorated..." "Rell always had more understanding than all of us. Of the void, and later the Man in the Wall. I never understood why the others thought he would be a hindrance, knowledge after all, is power... I firmly believe there would have been less loss overall had he not been bullied off. His treatment was part of why I split from the main group, however, that's a story for another time... The entire situation on the Zariman was a mess." "I learned of his sacrifice long after joining the Red Veil, which... Admittedly unnerved me, had I known prior I most likely would have placed my allegiance elsewhere. Though, allegiance is... A strong word with me, so maybe it isn't quite that... Either way, I still don't quite agree with how he ended up. I just hope he has peace now... But if you want my feelings summed up simply? I enjoyed his company, and I enjoyed listening. Even if it was not mutual, I at least considered him a friend... Maybe still do." || As for my actual feelings, I enjoy Rell as a character, and I am very pleased with DE's attempt at writing an autistic character. Not big on the savant angle because it's overdone, but I recognize there was no malice involved. His arc and what eventually happens to him bothers me a little bit, because I've never been big on what I see as needless character sacrifice. Especially if said character belongs to an under-represented group, more so if I am in that group like with Rell. But, my impressions on him overall are very good. And, I want DE to keep trying with characters in the way they did with Rell.
