“Disaster is rarely as pervasive as it seems from recorded accounts. The fact of being on the record makes it appear continuous and ubiquitous whereas it is more likely to have been sporadic both in time and place. Besides, persistence of the normal is usually greater than the effect of the disturbance, as we know from our own times. After absorbing the news of today, one expects to face a world consisting entirely of strikes, crimes, power failures, broken water mains, stalled trains, school shutdowns, muggers, drug addicts, neo-Nazis, and rapists. The fact is that one can come home in the evening--on a lucky day--without having encountered more than one or two of these phenomena. This has led me to formulate Tuchman's Law, as follows: "The fact of being reported multiplies the apparent extent of any deplorable development by five- to tenfold" (or any figure the reader would care to supply).”
― Barbara W. Tuchman, A Distant Mirror: The Calamitous 14th Century

today decided id try study @/squuote's narrator design!!
I realise that for as long as i've been here I haven't actually tried drawing him.. which feels weird, considering this stupid old man is kind of the thing that got me to think more about how i make character designs. I genuinely have no idea how my art style would've looked like if I hadn't stumbled upon tsp in the first place...
I think a few interesting things i realised when actually examining this specimen is surprisingly still the lapel, which i mentioned briefly.. it was for no particular reason either, it just kind of stood out to me as something i don't personally think about when it comes to showing character.
Anywho thats it!! aside from some struggle with drawing eyes here and there, that's all! we're done here!

ive seen so many characters be shipped with scourge and i think every possible option here sucks except for fiona but only in an "everyone sucks here youre both just enabling eachothers mental illnesses . youre both perfect for eachother . never change . just never involve anyone else in what you have going on" sort of way . peace and love

Kadang cacian, dan makian yang dilontarkan manusia kepada tuhannya bukan berarti ia membenci tuhannya. Dari setiap ucapan yang ia berikan merupakan keputus asaannya pada segala yang ia perjuangkan, dan kala itu dia tahu bahwa dia hanya memiliki tuhannya dan sekasar apapun perkataanya terhadap tuhannya, tuhannya tak akan pernah meninggalkannya, tuhannya tak akan pernah mengkhianatinya. Tuhannya akan selalu disisinya, menemani dan menguatkannya. setidaknya dia tahu bahwa dia tidak akan pernah ditinggalkan oleh tuhanny bagaimanpun keadaannya.
