i love dropping my pen putting my glasses on my desk and rubbing my face like an exhausted divorced academic in the 1980s who is greying and sexily tousled and has been up for hours digging through the yellowed pages of old obscure treatises about etruscan pots

If chaos was personified I think it would be Damian. Tiny child filled with rage and equipped with far too many weapons.
They look SO CUTE altogether!!

The (unintentionally) funniest things in the very serious vampire novel Dracula by Bram Stoker, in my most humble personal opinion
Count Dracula, whose only topic of interest is his own glory as a warlord of times past, dressing up as a servant and cooking, setting the table and folding sheets among other housework to fool Jonathan, probably while muttering to himself 'it's okay Vlad you're still cool you're still cool' over and over again
Dracula throwing a fit at Lucy's window while in bat form like 'You shut out Dracula? You shut him out like the mosquito? Oh, vampirism for you! Vampirism for you for all eternity!'
Dracula, once again at a window while in bat form trying to listen to Van Helsing planning his demise, and being fucking shot at by Quincey Morris and having to flee like 'wait what the FUCK was that???'
On the topic of how trigger-happy Morris is; Van Helsing going on about all the traditional lore on how to figh vampires and Morris saying 'how about we just fucking shoot him' 'yes we'll take that into account too, extra credit'
'oh lmao it's that bitch Harker, can't believe he made it out of my cas- shit he's got a knife' *immediately jumps out the window and flees the country*
Mina, fully and acutely aware of evertything relating to Lucy's death, otherwise the most sensible character in the novel: Last night I dreamed about the creature from hell that lives literally next door and I woke up this morning feeling absolutely awful. I'm sure it's nothing worth mentioning tho
Dracula's demise being larlegy in part due to the fact that he spends most of his time dealing with English bureaucracy and leaving his mail lying around. like the lord of darkness himself sitting in an office to buy a ship ticket, being cryptic and edgy while the worker is just like 'yeah whatever here you go, next' is something that actually happens in the novel
#Dracula#Dracula Daily#dracula works on the logic of a 16th century nobleman who expects everyone to crawl before him#meanwhile most people are like 'huh that guy is creepy and weird. anyway'#the original dracula novel is the prime genre shift of 'what if medieval vampires but in modern day' and it SHOWS

Working on redesigns for old ocs is SOOO PAINFULLL because since they are old and have been around I'm used to their old design so when I try to give them a new design I'm like "that's not my baby" 😭😭 anyways
#oc#ocs#specifically talking about vandervault and liams story since they are both incredibly old#liam has gone through 8 billion redesigns but my brain still imagines him as his first#vandervault as a story has gone through 5 billion reworks because im indecisive#first it was like western themed#then it was modern#then like medieval#now im back at western#vandervault is my mortal enemy of my own creation#vandervault#liam's story#help me

i'm sorry but under any other circumstances this entire scene would be absolutely comedy gold
like imagine sitting in a park or church minding your business and your old childhood friend comes up to you out of the nowhere wearing a nuns outfit and frantically whispering "i need to talk to you" with absolutely zero explanation beyond that and then pulls out a knife
#house of the dragon#hotd spoilers#rhaenicent#alicent hightower#rhaenyra targaryen#literally an medieval snl skit#alicent looking her up and down like have you lost ur fckn mind

Queen Cersei Lannister
absolutely never would have anticipated how many times i’d end up drawing cersei when I first started asoiaf but over time she has cemented herself as one of my favorite characters…
i’m forever revisiting my own designs, so here’s a second attempt at Cersei’s ruby mourning dress and a first attempt at her in her hunting greens when she goes to meet with Ned. I think hunting greens implies menswear, but I’m not certain and I could be misinterpreting…? either way I think it is more reasonable for trying to be stealthy so that’s the route I took…
#asoiaf#valyrianscrolls#cersei lannister#my art#I like this interpretation of the mourning dress better even though it’s less accurate. it fits better w the style of briennes dress#kind of a fusion of a gown and a houppelande. a little silly but I think it works#personally I don’t like tudor asoiaf fashion I think its too modern but that’s just me. so i’ve tried to make the descriptions work within#the scope of more medieval styles#or at least. fantasy medieval styles#I had a sketch of her post walk of atonement on this page but I couldn’t color it right so I abandoned it for now#maybe i’ll finish it later

I've been slowly obsessing more and more about asoiaf fashion in the past 6 month, and really developing in details how it would look in different regions, classes, etc (the North being the one I have the most complete picture on). And I wanted to put some of this to paper instead of endlessly turning it in my head before I go to sleep. Usually when I costume design it is confined to a specific character, I've never done like worldbuilding fashion design, but idk asoiaf really gets me going.
So here's the North ! I could have kept going and added more stuff, but if I try to spew all the shit that's in my head I'm never gonna finish this x) So I focused mostly on great houses/nobles fashion for this. Maybe I'll do a sheet for smallfolk or practical clothing like battle armour after I'm done with all the kindoms. I already have to continue the anti AI quest...
More asoiaf fashion
#my pinterest inspo board for this has grown sooo absurdly large - like nearly a thousand pics with 20 subfolders and so lol#I think I've seen every medieval/renaissance fashion pic on the website#like now I often recognize specific pinterest inspos on other people's asoiaf art lmao#asoiaf#a song of ice and fire#asoiaf fashion#valyrianscrolls#the north#house stark#fanart#my art#bear with me tho like I said I've never done worldbuilding costume design and I'm certainly not an expert in historical clothing#this is just for fun

Comfort after a shattered dream
...or at least that's what I imagined💀 After seeing the story update, I think she'd opt for a more subtle action ↓
she's not letting go of his hand
#twisted wonderland#twst#twisted wonderland oc#twst oc#twst cater#deeva twst#cateeva#my art#something something holding onto the only personal relationship that remained the same in and outside his dream#<- that was the original idea for the first drawing#ANYWAY- effect layers my beloveds they saved that piece bc I wasn't in a rendering mood LMAO#Before seeing his model I thought he only had one side of his head braided#and it stayed like that here bc 1. I didn't feel like changing the lineart and 2. side braids would have looked a lot better 😭#like. top head full of tight cornrows..... gotta protect his beautiful ginger locks or he's gonna look like a medieval catholic monk soon-

Falling in love with an outer god
(Just wanted to imagine what it’d look like if Mel took a draconic form in front of Lazuli. I guess it’d be more voidy and nightmarish in game cause of the Fallen Aasimar of the Awful Deep thing, but let’s just say that Mel could also be related to a golden dragon who was also Pelor’s favorite so… 👀 I wanted to try a fairytale/medieval vibe here, kinda happy with how it turned out! Melisande belongs to @the-nothing-maker ❤️)
#dungeons and dragons#medieval aesthetic#aasimar#dnd art#val cardinal#one day my players will know all the wildest stuff I invented for their backstories#all this drama and alternative universes that only live in a DM’s brain#I’m so happy I get to explore this with my art and by talking to players like Elliot#honestly he doesn’t know how much lore I just wing on the spot#we’re finishing our big zine about Mel and Lazuli can’t wait to show it!!#my art
