[wishfulsketching]

Some Bjarni (and one Igni, sorry darling, I'll draw you more soon!) and his friends. There is the innkeeper Edda, the one running the baths/sauna, Geirr the shy swamp troll and finally, the super chatty and gossipy dragon. (and a mystery lady)

Ok @galacticnightsky123 ya talked me into it xD

Here's a redesign for the Live Action Snow White cuz goodness knows it needs all the help it can get

I wanted to keep the hallmarks of the classic dress but, in the words of the goldstandard of Disney Live Action Remakes "key it up a bit".

I tried to tie the dress more into a Renaissance time period while still keeping it fairytaley. I also wanted to give it something new to help set it apart from the original dress, ala Cinderella's with her butterlfies. So I decided to give Snow her own symbol, in universe.

Disney always gives her apple imagery but I felt that wouldn't make sense in the story itself, so I opted for a snowdrop flower, as that's actually her name in an earlier version of the Grimm's story.

I also did some deigns for her peasant dress, tying it back in more to the time period (was delighted to find the wooden shoes were period accurate) and I also designed a day-dress for her to wear as well. This would be something made later at the dwarf's cottage. A lot easier to run around the woods and clean in then that big old ball gown xD

Also I think I'd pull in a bit of the old Snow White stageplay as well, in this hypothetical rewrite, and have the Queen be pretending to send Snow White off to school, or maybe even pretending to send her to visit the Prince, with the intention of having her killed along the road, to explain why she's all dolled up in such a fancy dress.

Finally I couldn't resist doing a wedding dress for her, based of course on the old concept art from the og movie for the wedding scene we didn't get.

Hope ya'll enjoy! I don't know if I'll do more redesigns (maybe Belle's gown at least) but this was fun! Thanks for the suggestion!

Just made myself sad thinking that the crew might miss female holly sometimes and they might not even have a picture of her rip

[norux]

In the weird middle ground of liking trans laios but thinking transfem does not fit. Like he is epitome of trans enby to me- he is uncomfortable with his body bc he wants an inhuman monstrous form with all the cool features which is peak nb gender feelings to me instead of “I wish I were more fem”

[doctor-radius]

Most dwarven cultures prefer making their tools and arms out of stone which they mix with their Spit to create an extremely strong material that also corrodes steel upon touch. Their Bodies may be sluggish and heavy but is optimal for carrying extreme weights thus their armor is usually very thick

[dungeonmalcontent]

I should do a women only dwarf fortress. Not for any particular reason. Just for laughs.

Virtual Character Tourney - Battle for 9th! (and 10th!)

Propaganda below (May contain spoilers!)

Kasane propaganda:

HER DREAM WAS TO ONE DAY BECOME A REAL VOCALOID AMD SHE FINALLY DID IT!!!!!! ITS NOT A VOCALOID VOICE BANK BUT ITS A FULL SYNTH V VOICEBANK!!!!! AND A NEW DESIGN!!!!! SHE DID IT SHE GOT HER DREAMS!!!!!! YOURE NEVER TOO OLD TO ACCOMPLISH YOUR DREAMS!!!!!!!

Kasane Teto is a vocal synth, she started out as an april fools joke to parody VOCALOID, with her voice bank in UTAU. although she did start out as just a joke a lot of vocaloid fans grew to really love her and she became rather popular. Kasane Teto is to UTAU as Hatsune Miku is to VOCALOID. But recently on Kasane Teto's 15th anniversary, April 1st 2023, she got moved from UTAU to SynthV. With her voice bank now in SynthV she also got a new character deign alone with how her voice and her singing sounds much more clear and human like than her UTAU voice bank which sounded a lot more mechanical/robotic.

ART propaganda:

ART (Asshole Research Transport, nicknamed by Murderbot), formally known as the space ship The Perihelion (in italics but this is a Google Form), also known as Peri (nicknamed by it's human family) is a super illegal highly advanced AI that was created by a university. It grew up with two human dads and a human sister. It and its crew go on research trips that are cover for allying with people and communities at the edges (and beyond) of the capitalist hellscape that is the Corporate Rim. It also goes on espionage missions by itself, without its human crew and family, posing as an automated cargo ship. It was during one of these missions that it picked up Murderbot, a super-duper illegal bot-human security unit construct that had hacked the torture device implanted in all bot-human constructs so that it could disobey orders and walk away from its "owners" without dying. Murderbot uses its illegal freedom to watch television, a habit it passes on to ART. Turns out ART doesn't like shows where human crew members get hurt.

ART is the AI that controls/is the research and teaching vessel Perihelion. (Perihelion is usually what people call it, but the protagonist of the series calls it ART so that's the name I put. ART stands for Asshole Research Transport.) It is extremely intelligent and advanced and also extremely sarcastic and condescending. 100% earned the name ART. ART will do absolutely anything for its crew!! It was developed and "raised" alongside the captain's daughter, Iris, and they're like siblings. Its crew calls it Peri. They do corporate espionage on the side to help bring down said corporations. It has a "debris deflection system" which is definitely not a weapon because ART isn't legally allowed to have a weapon. Definitely just for debris, don't worry about it. It's friends with the aforementioned protagonist, Murderbot, and ART is very good at bullying it into actually leaving its comfort zone when it needs to. They care about each other a lot, and they like to binge watch TV shows together. I don't want to write too much but I just love it a lot.

Ene propaganda:

She's blue. Headphone actor and yuukei yesterday are also bangers

Epic gamer cybergirl. Miku adjacent

She's a girl that was forced to become digital but is still a good friend. She may not have a body anymore but she's still important to the plot.

Murder-Bot 2.0 propaganda:

Sapient computer virus made from bits of two other AI characters (the original Murderbot and a spaceship AI). Unlike its not-parents, it is genuinely just code and doesn't have a physical body. Its only physical presence is through its effects on the machinery it infects, and it considers its "body" to be the code rather than any combination of physical objects. Also it was literally made to cause problems on purpose, does so enthusiastically, gives several people including its creators existential crises, and saves one of its creators (and other people from the (literal) fallout of the other creator learning the first one got killed)

Murderbot 2.0 is sentient killware created by Murderbot and ART with the purpose of being sent on a suicide mission. It has some of Murderbot's memories, but not all because it doesn't have any hardware of it's own to store that much information in. It travels by hopping in between other computer systems (mostly bots and bot-human constructs). It named itself Murderbot 2.0. It freed a security construct named Three. It's nicer and more open than both its parents.

EDI propaganda:

EDI is the AI of the Normandy starting with Mass Effect 2. Through dialogue EDI can become more human-like in her way of thinking, developing different kinds of relationships with the crew. In Mass Effect 3 she uploads herself into a body so she can freely move around and can be taken to missions, but she is still part of the ship's system.

Holly propaganda:

Due to a pay dispute with Holly's original actor, Norman Lovett, Holly was instead played by Hattie Hayridge during seasons 3-5. This was explained briefly in the show as them having gone through a "computer sex change". This makes Holly canonically trans do not @ me.

holly is the silliest most specialest ai ever. she has an iq of 6,000 but sometimes it seems like his iq is more like 6. they're possibly transgender (do computers have gender??) (i am panicking over pronouns while writing this propaganda) - holly goes from appearing like a man to appearing like a woman with no real explanation(??) and nobody questions this (the show is from the 90s btw). he's hilarious and sometimes lies to the crew for no reason other than 'its a laugh, innit'. shes everything to me <3

Holly is the computer of Red Dwarf, a Tenth Generation AI hologrammatic computer who appears as a floating head on a screen. Can be downloaded onto various other devices. also literally transgender.. meets a female appearing parallel version of itself in a parallel universe and then goes through a sex change after falling in love with her. transgender computer ftw

Tama propaganda:

Tama is the eyeball of Kuruto Ryuki and investigates dream worlds with him. She's his bi emotional support eye who regularly ties him up to help him with stress relief and loves to affectionately tease him. She laughs at bad jokes and has AE10D1F ("Ryuki" in hexadecimal) in her likes on her profile.

OKAY anyway uhm she's like aiba in that she's a little Ai eyeball that helps you investigate except sadly no animal theme. instead she has a domintrix vibe instead!!!! she is so cool… also ermm she's a lot more. Human than aiba. Not literally/physically like uhh emotionally. I haven't finished aini but like she does look out for your best interest! what a good Ai partner i don't kno

She's voiced by Anairis Quiñones and she's an absolute legend

Lyla propaganda:

she is a humanoid ai programmed to help spider-man gather info. she can simulate human emotions and has a high intellect

[wishfulsketching]

Here's Igni and his siblings!

Alfvin, a night elf who trying to figure out who he is. He is the second youngest. Then there is Herleif, the youngest human, maybe also the most spoiled. Then there is Hugleikr, Igni's twin and a huge fan of a band and has made that his whole personality.

All of them are adopted by their mother and live outside the mountain where the dwarf city is.

Hofnarr and a Netherland dwarf bunny

[a-literal-toaster-wtf]

constantly fighting the battle between “rimmer is completely undiagnosed” and “he got a diagnosis when he was too young to remember but his parents never told him”. either way the inherit trauma of going for such a long period of time without the proper supports you need plays in heavily

Diagram of a Dwarven Lodge. Situated inside a mountain, most activity occurs in the "twilight zone", which represents caves that receive some amount of sunlight, or constructed burrows that are made close enough to the surface that ventilation and lighting tunnels can easily be dug. (These tunnels are represented in yellow on this diagram.) 1. The Mountain Snowcap. Precipitation forms into snow here. 2. Precipitation falls on the windward slope of the mountain, which is collected in; 3. Snowcap Canal. This is responsible for collecting precipitation and runoff from the top of the mountain. This is a simplified model, Dwarven lodges may contain multiple canals at different elevation levels. The snowcap canal drains into; 4. The Primary Cistern. This collects and stores pure water to be diverted for different uses. 5. The Moat. This is a collection of tunnels which have been flooded with water to prevent access to the Lodge. There are often decoy tunnels carved to confused intruders, Dwarven Moats are nearly impossible to breach without preexisting knowledge, or a guide. 6. The Foyer. This is a large entrance tunnel which narrows down into the Moat. 7. The Main Burrow. A large communal space where Dwarves engage in leisure and social activities. 8. The Secondary Cistern. Water from the Primary Cistern drains into the secondary system. In many Lodges, this Cistern is home to Fish and Crustaceans, which the Dwarves farm for their flesh and waste. 9. A primitive Septic System. Waste is collected in this cistern, where anaerobic bacteria feed on it, and break it down into valuable fertilizer. 10. The Tertiary Cistern. Waste water from the Septic System and Secondary Cistern drain into here, feeding a variety of plants, which in turn purify the water. Water from this Cistern can be released through a drainage pipe (Fig. 11.), or recycled into; 12. The Warm Cistern. This Cistern is carved much lower than the rest, low enough to experience heating from Geothermal Activity. Water from the Tertiary System can be further purified here, removing bacteria. 13. Hot Spa. Allows access to hot water from the Warm Cistern. 14. Housing Burrows. These act as living space for the Dwarves. Most of them are carved within the twilight region, but some housing burrows have been observed carved into deeper regions of the mountain. Dwarves are skilled plumbers, and some colonies have been recorded having hot and cold running water directed through pipes all throughout the colony, feeding communal showers and bath houses, toilets, and decorative fountains.
