Slightly sloppy Nightcat— I MEAN Watcher doodle!! Super excited for the new DLC :D Didn't think we'd be getting any more major content after Downpour tbh.

This is based off one of the screenshots on the Steam page!! I thought it was another sandy biome at first (white sand is cool to me), but then I realized it was probably snow 🧍

Alt. version below (for a cleaner look):

my greatest achievement in DA2 is maxing out Carver's friendship

and all it took was begrudgingly kissing a little templar ass in act 1 because Carver didn't want to plan a prison break if my Hawke got his ass arrested for being stupid.

In case you didn't know, there are several pieces of concept art for Blasphemous 2 where the Penitent One has a sword with red ribbons on it :')

sophia seeing cailan's body hanging there when they go back to ostagar, and suddenly all she can see even through the rot and the ruin is just how much he looked like alistair...... :'(

a mental image that totally will not haunt her through alistair's many years on the throne as rebellions and assassination attemps come and go. doesn't send her unhinged and unwise even a little

📣ANNOUNCEMENT📣 THE BIG 2024 PROJECT

At long last, I'm announcing what I've been working on🥁

Starting February 6th and continuing every other Tuesday through at least mid-December, this blog will be highlighting the work of various illustrators of A Tale of Two Cities over the many decades since its initial publishing!💫

As it stands right now, the archive will span from the very beginning in 1859 all the way through about 1992 (with a heavy density at the turn of the century) and will contain just under 500 individual illustrations by 20 individual illustrators — in styles ranging all the way from pen to painting and abstraction to realism✍️

All of these numbers will continue to grow, however, because this is an ongoing project! In fact I expect the queue to continue through a good portion of 2025 as I keep finding and archiving more and more — there's just so much out there! For this reason I am not posting these in a sorted order — I looked at what I have right now and ordered them to feel random and balanced, with some themed for certain months😎

Also! A large percentage of these (about half of the artists and well over half of the total illustrations) are coming from sources difficult or impossible to find on the Internet and are instead coming from my own scanning work: When I would discover in my research editions that I knew to have work by new illustrators whose pages weren't available for online viewing, I would seek out and buy those editions for super cheap online and scan them on my own printer's scanner — so for a lot of the old illustration work that this blog will be posting, it will possibly be the first time some of these have ever been uploaded for public view on the Internet!🤩

As far as keeping the archive organized on this blog, the organizational tag for these posts will be " #illustrators ", and I will also tag each post with the highlighted artist's name and with the decade in which each set of illustrations was initially published (as far as my research tells me)🏷️

On the off-weeks, this blog will be posting its usual miscellany, with a sprinkling of behind-the-scenes and extras for this specific project. But starting next week and continuing every other Tuesday* through about the entire year, expect a new post highlighting the work of a given A Tale of Two Cities illustrator — and be prepared because sometimes the number of illustrations on a single post will be in the tens/dozens since Tumblr increased the max image count for a single post to 30! *with the exception of April, which is going to have a special schedule for reasons you'll see when the queue gets there👀

I'm just so excited to at long last get to share this incredible archive here! I sincerely hope you enjoy this fascinating and often breathtaking look at these tiny, beautiful pieces of art history!🌟

The other reblog tags on that borderlands post make me so sad

Like, "I only play it cuz its coop, not the plot" or "....well at least his dnd podcast is good"

DNDDADS IS GOOD IN THE EXACT SAME WAYS BORDERLANDS IS GOOD

HE MADE BOTH

Like, motherfucker, Willy is just Handsome Jack 2. He's still doing the stupid jokes with the most beautiful, heartbreakingly sincere follow through and imvyfktbuggnugmt

Tell me you fell for the "this is woke becuz woman and also femisim" bullshit and hate queer people without telling me that you do

I beat hyrule warriors :D

[spirithunter-deathmark]

So EXP Inc., through Ataka (director of the spirit hunter series), posted a notice on his twitter that put an embargo on specifically Death Mark's chapters 6 and 7 for posting and streaming, meaning while the base game of Death Mark can be posted, posting art/CG/any content relating to chapter to both Death Mark DLC's

So what does that mean? Well the obvious is that new information will be limited, if not very scarce online unless its through approved parties, which isn't unheard of for game companies to do but it is a little unfortunate for those of us unable to access the DLC ourselves right now But according to EXP's guidelines here all these rules only apply to Japanese version of these releases, and anything relating to localized releases are handled under Aksys, so I'd like to think that means plans are in the works to distribute chapter 7 worldwide earlier than expected

let the girl nap

[monty-glasses-roxy]

The Bloodstained Scythe, the Remorseless Broom and the Grieving Guard. A curious teddy bear. A worn out tyre. An unappreciated hammer. They are still there. Can you see them?

....... So I drew this post no one got-

it really is hilarious how little objective quality has to do with how much I'll love an RPG. larian makes games that are objectively very good, but don't really resonate with me personally when I play them, for whatever reason. bioware makes games of wildly erratic levels of quality that cause my soul to vibrate at pitches heard only by dolphins and god.
