#The Illuminate

[angrycheesegirl]

I can't wait for the Illuminate to show up in Helldivers 2, because from the way they're talked about both in-universe and by the community, the Squids are fucking TERRIFYING. An entire extragalactic race of highly intelligent, technologically superior beings; whose SCOUTING PARTY from the first game was so strong that Super Earth was almost overrun. And now, while we're still barely holding the line on two fronts the Squids are preparing to tell us in no uncertain terms that "The Milky Way isn't yours to conquer." These fuckers are going to be terrifying and I really hope Freedom Day 2024 sees them crashing the party.

Preview of Basilisk, my personal favorite of my risograph comics, and the project all my other recent medieval-inspired art descends from.

Styled after medieval illuminated manuscripts and printed using a custom color palette requiring 5 risograph inks (including metallic gold), Basilisk asks the question: what would drive a teenage girl to create a monster?

Physical copies available here. To brag for a moment--this is my masterwork of riso printing and is even more impressive in person.

the 50$ sword i got from a shady flea market was diagnosed to be a wall-hanger rather than a prop so i spent today making it the prettiest wall-hanger in the land

Fun fact but according to historians, tamagotchi were a popular commodity for noble ladies in the 14th century

Currently obsessed with these naturalistic illuminations from a manuscript of De Proprietatibus Rerum (1447, Bibliothèque d'Amiens, ms. 399). I just know that whoever commisioned this must have hired the nearest artist with an insane obsession for birds before proper birdwatching was even a thing. They hired the nearest De arte venandi cum avibus fanboy.

Like, the fact that despite the stylized drawings you can clearly tell that these are a corvus corax, a corvus cornix?! Hello?!?!

I love you, unknown french artist from the 15th century.
