“Oh.” He blinks. “That was fast.”

Wasn’t expecting that, but good to know they’re reliable like that.

She waits a bit first, waiting to see if anything else would rise—nothing, thankfully—or perhaps even peacefully emerge? (Hah, she’s not stupid. It’d be nice to come across something interesting, of course, but what can one do but wait?) It’s a brief pause, but after confirming the stillness, she turns to follow the group, long legs filling the gap her pause had created.

It doesn’t pass by them the way the flooring shifts, transitioning from the more natural dirt and rocks into the man-made tiles and stones. The walls, too, smooth out, becoming nicer, with twin lions hanging over a grand door frame.

“Hm.” A pause. “Do you suppose that they named the fountain after the lions or they placed the lions there after the fountains were named?” The first was likely the more probable answer, but if Mila or Duma had determined the name beforehand, it could very well be the second—would anyone here even know that answer?

“And now that I think about it– hey, Phoebe, do lions have religious significance here?” He realizes after saying it that he probably won’t get an immediate response—these are fountains. (If you’re outside, she’s not going to hear you very well, is she?)

Stepping into the next room, the fountains enter full view, water gushing about as loudly as Lin had expected, Sister Phoebe already going about ecstatically. Even without Linhardt’s pestering, she posits a theory—that these are older than Mila and Duma, from an age with even older gods.

Lin supposes that’s one question answered. (Not one that she had asked, but a question answered all the same.) Looking around the chamber, she muses, “It’s impressive they’ve been around for so long.”

“You mention an era when ‘the old gods ruled the continent.’ Who were they? What were they like?”

DDLC INKTOBER DAY 2 BAYBEE!! Spiders this time!

This one was a little rushed, and I couldn't get it quite as spidery as I was hoping. Either way, it was fun to draw Yuri, as always, and I very much like the vibes of this. I momentarily considered a spider Yuri, but I decided to let myself like things.

Initially I was gonna go for a much cooler pose, though didn't quite have the anatomy skills for it. Hence the conveniently baggy robe. I'll likely be coming back to that later in the month. Perhaps for "dagger"?

Btw thank you @doki-doki-lesbians-club for reblogging these! It seems to be enough pressure for me to do stuff on time.

yuri on ice fandom got 5 seconds of a teaser that was released 2+ years ago and we’re all like “we’re fucking BACK baybee” and i love that for all of us we are gay and starved for love and we have rights

TUMBLR DENIES ME TAGS AGAIN BUT THIS TIME I WAS SMARTER. STRONGER. I WROTE MY TAGS IN THE BODY AND COPY PASTED. UNSTOPPABLE.

The atmospheric fade is used sooooooooooo well here.

Oh and we cant forget the accessories. Theyre so hecking cute! The hippos lil XD is to die for and once more the details are insane. Like you actually shaded the seams and pinch! Who hurt you and where can I get some? Also the green glasses compliment his reds so well.

Anyway next we have SVFD's funky lil floral shades (i love them so much you have no clue), the flower necklace is also amazing.

The dragons at the back are harder to make out but, obviously, that just sells the pic more as something lived in and dynamic. Plus, theyre still shaded super well and perfectly for the pic, so theres 0 to complain about.

Also love how I can FEEL clear wings pure joy at being given a hat by little Yugo. Look at that grin, that upturned eye. I've never seen a more overjoyed Beast and SV is RIGHT THERE smiling so hard its jaw's gonna unhinge. Do feel a lil sad about how CW's wings blend into the trees but a comps gotta comp. This is karma for them being the negating dragon. Anyway, I love their accessories, like all the speedroids on Yugo's surfboard (red eye, 2 tri eye and 1 terrortop? Thats the duel links set baybee).

Dark reb is just as happy, but a lil more restrained. I also dk what mon they've got. it has ancient cloak vibes but im no PK expert. Barely play them really. The flowers make it festive either way. The Dark reb pattern on the kite is a nice touch, too!

Ok dragons down, time to scream about 4 small boys! First off, someone get Yugo a shirt before he gets sunburned /joking.

Ok but for real Yuya and Yuris poofy shirts are very summer vibes and very cute. It gives them both a really floaty feeling that suits the piece! Yuya's big ol smile is the cutest thing I've seen all week (plus the fangs are a super cute and nice touch) and Yuris smug "im gonna beat your ass" grin is impeccable. The water guns are really well done, too. Love how yuri's matches SVFD, but curious about Yuya using blue. Is it a ref to his pendulum? Anyway, the shading on their hair (yuyas contrasting values in particular stand out to me) are also so silken and jaw dropping that I feel like you could shear it and weave a silken scarf out of it. Fantastic 10/10.

Yugo's tiny grin is so precious 50/50 and I love how Yuto is kinda cautiously clinging to dark reb as he carefully takes stock of the situation. Yuya and Yuri may be at war, but Yuto and Yugo have chosen peace. For now.

Last but not least, the effect work is really good! I like the refracted light scattered tastefully across the piece to give it some pink and white and add to the sunny vibe. I've already mentioned how well done the addition based atmospheric fade is. The snatches of subsurface scattering like on SV's dark green and the underside of Yuyas shirt are just an extra 10% of perfection.

The thing that gets me about this is that there are no flaws. Zero corners cut. I almost pity you because I feel like this must have simultaneously been the most satisfying and painful thing ever created. I cannot fathom having the heart to do this.

1000/1000 are you a professional artist because holy shit.

My piece for Dragon's den zine.

Linhardt was absolutely not drawn here by the call of combat, and much less by the duty of a healer. (Neither of those things were particularly appealing to the boy, and yet she was still here, wasn’t she?)

It’s dark within the caverns—old and dank also. They can tell from the rock—stalactites formed over the centuries, clinging faithfully to their perches on the ceiling—and they imagine these shrines may be just as old as advertised, if not older. (That isn’t always a reasonable expectation, you know.)

Sister Phoebe guides them, light illuminating the darkness and reflecting dimly off the stone. Linhardt watches as it follows the shape of the caverns, its glow dispersing when they arrive in the first room. A shadow moves in the corner. Closer still, a rock begins to stand.

Hm. So these are the ‘Terrors’ that Carmen spoke of.

Admittedly, Linhardt had expected worse. The one in the corner wasn’t exactly pleasant, certainly, but neither of them were even remotely as terrifying as the demonic beasts that routinely roamed Fódlan. At the risk of being insensitive, Lin was a bit disappointed by the foes set before them.

Disappointing or not, however, they were still enemies to be dealt with. Raven goes first, immediately tearing into the stone golem. Lyn follows, then Lady Rhea, and Linhardt can see it toppling over, but its sway wasn’t that of defeat—it still had a life to it, in an earthy, non-living sort of way. (It wasn’t done yet, that is.)

That won’t do.

He wasn’t here for the fighting, that much was true, but if he was going to be here, he might as well make it as easy for himself as possible. That meant preventing damage before it could be dealt at all, and what better way to stop an unwanted menace than to put it down altogether?

“Mhm,” is the response to Lady Rhea’s direction. (Another bead is palmed.) “Already on it.”

Linhardt attacks Guardian 9 with [Red Beads]! [d20 Roll]: 17. Crit! Guardian 9 HP: 0/10

The flash of red and smoke emitted on collision triggers a rapid break-down in the monster—it was wildly effective, it seems—the golem falling apart, even with regards to its already crumbling form. Glancing back at the remaining beads Linhardt possessed, they couldn’t help but wonder if there were any other properties they should be aware of. (The books sure had some interesting magic in them.)

“…Someone should really deal with that skeleton,” he drawls. “I don’t like the way it points its bow.”
