This thing's finally done! I've mostly been doing quick artistic pieces lately and wanted to push myself with something intensive and challenging again. So here's a Rennaissance style wall painting of my character Peregrine that exists in a closet under a cloth on his family's estate somewhere of him after graduating from a naval education program ready to join the military when he was younger. Influenced by Dutch Masters and those classic noble and Revolutionary War era portraits. Much less colorful than my normal style, and I stayed fairly precise instead of wild. Lots of rendering. Rare that I paint indoor scenes atmospherically. There's a few things I see room for improvement on- the hand doesn't look like it's really resting on the globe properly, the attachment of his goatee to his chin and lower lip, the anatomy of his hand on the fancy schmancy cane...but overall I'm very pleased with the composition and colors. Probably open for comissions in this style if anyone wants, DM me for details if you're interested.
Alt: A somewhat short and stocky blond man with a goatee, one hand on a cane, the other on a globe, staring intesely to the right into the distance in a moodily lit brown room. In the background are a small flame chandalier, a passage to a hallways with a flower bouquet on a table in a blue vase by a painting, and a large bookcase with many tomes, an animal skull, a glass, a ship in a bottle, and a model ship with orange fan sails. The table with the globe is covered in a white draping cloth and also carries a pot of ink, a velu or parchment weighted down by a stone, a sextant, a pocket telescope, a stamp for wax seals, and a compass. The nobleman is dressed in fine brown clothes with white gray ruffles and a blue sash. He wears a gold medallion on a red ribbon around his neck, and his brows are furrowed.

Any genre of game can have a disabled protagonist if you aren't a coward / willing to put the work in, but I'm currently batting around the concept of specifically point-and-click puzzle adventure games with a highly disabled protagonist.
Often, the pace of such games tends sedate and contemplative. Your character is seldom in a hurry; they are mostly faced by trying to figure out how to accomplish a particular task, and if a deadline is imposed, it's an extra thing to juggle.
This could be an interesting presumption to incorporate from a watsonian lens, through the viewpoint of a protagonist who may have limited mobility, pain and/or fatigue that make hurrying punitively inaccessible. It'd let the player familiarize themselves with early puzzles if the first thing they have to figure out how to do is say, get their player character out of bed in an environment where they don't have their usual fallbacks.
(also if this is also a walking adventure, it'd let you dodge accusations of the insurmountable waist-high fence- your intrepid hero MIGHT be able to climb over those bricks if they didn't have two bad hips and a walker to worry about!)
#writing ruminations#speaking broadly I think there should be way more games that have disabled protagonists and directly incorporate the protagonist's conditio#into game mechanics and structure#like that game Endoparasitic that had the basic premise your character has only one remaining limb (right arm)#and how this affects the structure of everything you have to do#I recall also hearing about a game where you play a blind protagonist navigating a haunted house#where tapping your cane to identify your surroundings is both instrumental and risky as the hostile forces can hear it

Le compas est un instrument de navigation qui donne une référence de direction (le nord) sur le plan horizontal et permet ainsi la mesure d'angles horizontaux par rapport à cette direction. Le compas est gradué de 0° (nord) à 359° dans le sens des aiguilles d'une montre (sens rétrograde).
Les boussoles utilisées par les armées utilisent aussi d'autres systèmes de graduation (voir grade, appelé aussi gon, millième). La différence entre une boussole et un compas réside dans le fait que dans une boussole, l'aiguille aimantée se déplace devant un cercle gradué, tandis que dans un compas, un cadran est solidaire de l'aiguille aimantée et se déplace devant un repère.

I love mon mothma's cool blue space cadillac but her narc chauffeur guy straight up cannot see out the right side of the car
my man is driving by google maps alone
#there's no camera on the top of the car or anything. what is he looking at#do speeders get flown like planes navigating by instruments alone#is the car following an air highway and he's at the helm just in case#idk but i love it. can't crash if you don't see it happen 😌#andor

man. knowing techno had a song for a final sendoff really Hurts bc i've thought about what mine would be for a very long time and now that someone has given me theirs i actually dont think i like the feeling it leaves behind! idk if i could do that to someone else
#tw death#grief#whatever yall are tagging idk#chat#if you've been here long enough (most of you have tbh) you might know music is like 90% of the way i navigate my emotions#cant feel anything? try music maybe you'll understand what's happening in your brain 👍#so of course i had songs in my head that were like. if i wanted to help someone understand my death this is what i would show them#but now that i have one from someone else#i dont like the pain this specific thing gives. it hurts enough normally but music is so EXTREMELY personal to me#i always wanted to hear more songs he liked aside from the few i knew from tristam and fox stevenson. But Not Like This#my go-to is poppyfields by coldplay btw. if you're curious. mostly the instrumental part at the end#but there's a few more#excursions by c418 was a big one to me. phil played it when he was building techno's thing and i had to leave :(#are those weird choices? maybe. but they make sense to me. maybe not anyone else if i would show them lol

Learn the Difference
Astrolabe vs. Armillary Sphere
Both scientific instruments provide information about the position of stars through the course of a year, however, they are dramatically different objects. The astrolabe works by projecting the night sky into a flat 2D circle, while the armillary sphere is a round object.
This is a common misconception for artists to make. Astrolabe is perhaps the most recognizable word, but very often it is used in the place of an armillary sphere (see Magic example below)
The easiest way to tell them apart is that an astrolabe is typically a flat instrument and armillary spheres are round and hollow to accommodate the rotation of the celestial sphere
3D astrolabes have existed, at least in historical texts, but they are far more rare and are not hollow

Back from concert!! It was awesome!!!
I sat next to a guy named Phil who gave me a Rob Zombie poster he'd bought but didn't end up wanting (said his wife wouldn't appreciate him hanging it in the house)
It was nice of him, but it's added one more to the weird trend I've noticed throughout my life of People Just Giving Me Stuff
#once got an umbrella from a Chinese lady I spoke to several times on the SF MUNI in high school#(she said I could give it back to her next time I saw her but I never saw her again while I had the umbrella)#once got given a free ticket to a play I was just about to buy tickets for in college#(random woman accidentally bought too many and gave one to the first person she saw which was me)#once got a plastic lightsaber from another random woman after I helped her navigate East Coast regional rail#currently own five musical instruments four of which were gifted to me#(last one was my grandma's guitar that I just took because no one else wanted it)#bf gave me a stuffed animal of his that I had taken to cuddling when I was at his parents' place#our landlady has given me various pouches and a nice jacket for seemingly no reason#and now this Rob Zombie poster#guess there's something about me that just says Hi Give Me Your Things
