泰山 Magic Eye Poster

In a vast chamber lined with square concrete panels, a woman grips an iron ring to hang suspended in a sideways T. A taut chain extends from the ring on a diagonal down to another metal loop where she anchors her bare feet. Gravity tugs on her fiery orange hair as she reaches down to touch a broad band of mist. The hood of her loose white top spills down as do both sleeves, one bunching at the shoulder to expose her arm—her torso prevents it from falling farther—while unobstructed the other sleeve billows loosely. There is some curvature to the wall behind her, which tapers inward at the top. Boards are tacked in staggered lines extending ladder-like up the wall. A grungy tactile delight, the place looks weathered with tattered cloth draping the concrete in places. A variety of openings are covered by rusty grates or metal plates.

THE REACH (1999)
Acrylic on Canvas - 48” x 30”

Almost a Lumen painting, in which figures are trying to work their way out of enclosed spaces and get into the light.

I used a model for this one and it was quite difficult for her to take this pose and hold it long enough to capture the gesture. 1/3

morrowind's trapped in this interesting place as a narrative where, with the stance the following games take on the imperial pantheon, you can really be led to believe that "the emperor has the divine right of kings" is a much more substantial endorsement than it actually is

no man it's fine we can both go on night watch together, out along the westerly wall, I'll bring a good lantern, I won't get scared [three hours later] urrgh I hate it [shivers violently shaking my halberd] [visibly googling "sea peoples real or fake"]

I see abriction quietly listing the sadness split on bandcamp as third house is doing new runs of older releases...

as someone who's never been good about responding to messages, I'm entering The Gauntlet (birthday week) and really feeling the strains of the adhd mind cage about it. how do people do it

"wow toskarin this indicates a curious level of worldbuilding" that's because this is a system I came up with for vesalblood, explaining how the imperial traders send nuclear energy to planets where nuclear energy is banned

discovering a cool system for trading pure energy where we pitch/catch a chunk of metal between our stations at high velocity giggling at how the simplest solution is sometimes the best and then one day I call to ask if they got the last shipment and there's just a harsh crackling on the other line

Hey, don't blame me, me old darling.

fireballs don't bounce so much anymore

the other side to this is bladee randomly jumping around with an axe during the martyr tour

imagine sending this back in time to the moment Thorns released

it's fucking mad

I forgot they wrote that song for starfield and heard "children of the sky / flying up so high" in public and just kinda started laughing like I was losing my mind because it sounded like a parody of imagine dragons nursery rhyme lyrics. I could not fucking believe it was actually real

Both of us came to this land, as Undead.

Sniff.

Decided to revamp the design for Morrigan, another old dnd character from way back.

Did some sketches of eclipse knights and other oddballs from the order of the black flame.

“Description Eastern Javanese, Majapahit Dynasty, Ca 15th Century AD. Red clay figure of corpulent form, with large, hollow belly; incised with decorative details. Exudes a lively, robust personality. The long tradition of trade between China and Java culminated with the establishment of a trading colony in 1297. The Chinese were subsequently responsible for the first regular use of coins in Java which became widespread in the 15th century. During the 14th and 15th centuries, large numbers of terra-cotta animals were made, all provided with a slot on the back for insertion of copper coinage. Pigs were particularly popular because of their association with prosperity and were modeled with great care. 11"L x 8-3/8"H.” (side view)

Plump terracotta “piggy banks” (modeled after Javanese Wild Boars) were popular in 14th-15th c. #Majapahit Empire; many have been recovered, but unbroken ones are rare!

watching american shows from the 90s is so scary because everyone smiles with their whole mouth and never their eyes, like they're hunting you

Super Robot Wars 30 is not the 30th game in the series. That's silly. It's the game made to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the series.

It's the 48th game in the series.

so better is it to perish in that howling infinite, than be ingloriously dashed upon the lee
