Whenever @eerna commissions me to draw her latest Special Girl I always know I'm going to have a blast.

[image ids: a set of different colored bust illustrations of dragons, all referencing or inspired by the colors available in the dungeons and dragons ttrpg. in order, they are: red, bronze, copper, black, red, copper, sapphire, white, and brass. end id]

various busts from the past few years (2020-2022) of either my dragon characters or just generic ones. you can use these as visual reference for characters in ttrpgs with your friends, but please credit me (and if you create or commission art, please change the designs when doing so to make them your own!) ^w^

i’m hoping that soon my vision will recover enough to formally reopen smaller comms, but in the meantime i’ve been chipping away at organizing my ttrpg-related art files to share to subscribers on ko-fi (currently active) and patreon (will be active in the future) !

bonus time capsule art below the break!

from way back in 2013 - a decade ago now! - my first ever ttrpg art; a black dragon for a friend’s campaign. unfortunately, iirc, we only played one session before things fell apart, but such is life. maybe i’ll redraw this one sometime, for a 10-year comparison of being a nerd

I finished my moorish rose chainmail dice bag! This took me 30+ hours over the span of a few weeks and was a really fun challenge. I had never made three dimensional moorish rose before.

In total the bag has 1,452 brass and copper rings, all of which I made myself out of 1mm wire. It can fit up to three sets of dice and weighs 260 grams, which is slightly impractical for a dice bag but I'm fine with carrying a bit of extra weight around.

The second pic is a close up look at the design—moorish rose is a 9-in-1 weave, so every ring goes through 9 other rings—and the last pic is of the inside of the bag, which I just thought made a cool picture

Monday Musings: Copper Alloys

Alloys are typically a man-made mixture of metals and/or metals and metalloids or nonmetals. Alloys are often stronger, harder, more durable and more resistant to corrosion than the metals that make it up are on their own. They may even have a lower melting point which makes it easier to mold.

Copper has two major alloys: bronze and brass.

Bronze was discovered (possibly by accident) in the 4th millenium BC. The earliest alloys were copper-arsenic which, as you can imagine, is probably not a great thing to be making tools and tiles out of. While not dangerous as the alloy, the smelting process does give off dangerous arsenic fumes.

Today, bronze is about 88% copper and 12% tin but it can contain a small amount of aluminum, manganese, silicon, arsenic, phosphorus, or zinc.

Bronze has a reddish-brown metallic color. It is harder than copper and iron but can be brittle under extreme force.

Because it lacks iron it is resistant to corrosion by water and it is a great conductor because it contains so much copper. Bronze has a melting point of 950 degrees Celsius compared to the 1,085 degree melting point of copper (however tin only has a melting point of 231.9 degrees Celsius).

Bronze also has low friction.

Brass is an alloy of generally 66% copper and 34% zinc though it can also have small amounts aluminum, lead, silicon, arsenic, phosphorus, or manganese. It has a sort of golden metallic color.

Like bronze, brass has a high melting point of about 900-940 degrees Celsius (zinc is about 419 degrees Celsius).

Brass is more malleable than bronze or zinc allowing it to be shaped into more things. It is also resistant to corrosion, has low friction, and is a good conductor, but it is stiffer than copper making it more susceptible to stress-fracturing.

Fun fact, brass as some antibacterial properties.

Hope you had fun learning a little bit about copper alloys today. Tune in tomorrow for a little trivia! Fossilize you later!
