Fly through of part of a Keeper level directly in the Unreal Engine editor. Part way through I turn on all of the game objects the player doesn't see -- it takes a lot to make games work.

Two shadowy dragons fly towards a big black cartoony castle against a blood red sky.

Brass hardware on the inside of the drawers

Look at this extremely sick and haunted desk my friend and I saw at a rummage sale… you open it by sticking your hand in their mouths!!

crystal sword ============================================================ an elegant sword with beautiful lines, made all of glass: blade, hilt, and pommel; with a handle of wood, for improved grip, around the glass tang. it practically sings in your hand.

crystal sword

by the bane of my blade, a mighty spell is made and
far beyond the battle blood shall fall like a hard rain

A black smear in the shape of a being, with blue ribs and red eyes. At its feet are skulls and in its hand a blue sword. From the sky blood is dripping.

I'd liken it to Skinamarink and Event Horizon - two films I also adore

There's critique that it drags & can feel exhausting but honestly all of that was key and dragged me to a place where I really felt madness. Just a totally unique film.

Iron Lung probably isn't a movie for everyone but god damn did I have a great time with it. Adored it even.

Bounty Hunter.

Illustration based on the first entry in Gene Wolfe's Book of the New Sun, featuring the protagonist, Severian holding the sword "Terminus Est" in front of him atop a strange otherworldly platform. The Illustration is an homage/recreation of Don Maitz' original cover for the novel.

The Shadow of the Torturer.

a dreary sky, a lonely grey concrete tower in the center. there are chambers on the base that a person can enter with stairs leading up to them

a brutalist concrete lobby, with nice carpet, furniture, and plants hanging from suspended planters. the lighting is warm and welcoming

a cavernous gallery room, with a high ceiling and artificial sun panels pouring warm diffused light into the room. there is a statue of a floating octahedron in the center. plants and vines hang down from the walls. the room branches off into other chambers.

view of a tall, oddly shaped hallway. carpet down the whole length. on the left there is seating, a cabinet, and a large painting of some abstract rock formation.

some fancy bits in here will be in the coming update, like the paintings and plaques
