Good Things To Pay Attention To More Often

merry sabinemas everyone

mutuals do this!!!!

...So do you guys remember the concept artist that posted the Devil's Gap concept art on his website a while ago?

Yeah, there's new concept art up. It's big. Images below cut.

Spoilers for everything leading up to the latest main quest and some content that isn't in game (though it doesn't necessarily say much about what is to come unless you dig into it).

Some sort of power source for Fort Maria and what seems like alternate or earlier maps for the library. I'm not sure if the power source is in game but it can be seen in some of the concepts. (Also note the little room labelled Capran Study next to the portal room!)

Fort Maria portal room murals, in full resolution and unbroken format.

Sentinel Tree concepts. Note how almost all of these have a cave/opening at the bottom of the trunk that matches the opening at the bottom of the top-right tree in the top-right mural...

Concepts of the portal room. Already seen in game but still kinda cool. Interesting to see the alternate portal designs.

No label on this image but the file is named "Tree Carvings". Kind of stylistically similar to the Fort Maria murals I think.

Pandoria Codex, maybe? Nothing big in this one (though that looks like a tree in the bottom right), just kinda cool. Can we get some language nerds in here to decode the letters..?

That's all. I have many thoughts.

you know that expression, "dance like no one is watching you?"

try writing like no one is going to read it

it's easier to let yourself go and just enjoy the process of creation when you aren't also playing 6 dimensional chess with your insecurities and anxieties

write because you have fun writing and if you never post it anywhere that's totally fine because you enjoyed your time with the process

show, don't tell:

anticipation - bouncing legs - darting eyes - breathing deeply - useless / mindless tasks - eyes on the clock - checking and re-checking

frustration - grumbling - heavy footsteps - hot flush - narrowed eyes - pointing fingers - pacing / stomping

sadness - eyes filling up with tears - blinking quickly - hiccuped breaths - face turned away - red / burning cheeks - short sentences with gulps

happiness - smiling / cheeks hurting - animated - chest hurts from laughing - rapid movements - eye contact - quick speaking

boredom - complaining - sighing - grumbling - pacing - leg bouncing - picking at nails

fear - quick heartbeat - shaking / clammy hands - pinching self - tuck away - closing eyes - clenched hands

disappointment - no eye contact - hard swallow - clenched hands - tears, occasionally - mhm-hmm

tiredness - spacing out - eyes closing - nodding head absently - long sighs - no eye contact - grim smile

confidence - prolonged eye contact - appreciates instead of apologizing - active listening - shoulders back - micro reactions

drew a constant mood on the mind

hello, because of the ongoing issue with gofundme denying palestinians their rightfully earned donations; yossef lost all access to his funds and has to start from scratch. so i’ve helped him create this chuffed campaign.

Chuffed

Help save Joseph's family from war and famine.

Hello, my name is Jezabel and I am organizing this campaign for Yossef and his family. Here is his story:

we cannot imagine what it is like to lose everything to war, to then also lose all the lifesaving funds you worked hard for in the middle of such dire conditions. i encourage you to read yossef’s story and donate anything you can, even if it’s a few dollars. and share with everyone you know. please do not disappoint him.
