WoD’s Demon: The Descent Took This Idea And Made A Really Interesting Game With It. It Has More In

WoD’s Demon: the Descent took this idea and made a really interesting game with it. It has more in common with the Matrix than Supernatural and the many takes on faustian bargins and trying to blend in with humanity as a kind of celestial-robot running off the tracks are brilliant!

the reason i love the comparison between angels and machines (robots, transmission towers, trains, computers, etc.) is that it gets to the heart of what angels essentially are: divine machines. they’re mechanisms through with the divine is able to act, created with a purpose and “happy” to fill it simply because they were made to do so. they have more in common with a machine programmed to run on algorithms and make calculations based on input commands than they do with humanity, even if they bear a human visage - an attempt by the divine to help bridge the gap. angels do not need to be eldritch monstrosities to be terrifying, because they are already alien to us simply by being angels. for an angel to choose to deviate from their purpose and achieve free will is to fall because in order to have free will they can no longer be an angel, because an angel is defined by its purpose. much like the stories we tell of robots that gain sentence, only to discover that they can never truly be human, but neither can they go back to being a machine, angels who fall become something else entirely, purposeless and adrift and alone. it is a tragic sacrifice.

Thanks for replying! I've always loved the way you can include so much personality and story into a single character image, it reminds me of the best examples in RPG books where they want to depict a character concept or a monster and they just nail it.

Yo! Whats one thing you love drawing and find hard to do, and one thing you hate drawing but can do easily?

Really great question!

I love designing characters and I never get tired of doing it, but it also never really gets easier. I agonize over every little detail, drawing and re-drawing things over and over and pulling up tons of reference images. A fully-inked and colored character usually takes me a whole workday. I'm generally pretty happy with the finished results but I never seem to get any quicker at it haha.

I don't know if there's anything I'm good at drawing that I also hate to draw. I find the act of drawing pleasurable in and of itself. I sometimes find it frustrating when I'm commissioned to do "generic" fantasy or sci-fi illustrations. Like something that's just a "knight" or just a "spaceman" and the client really doesn't want me to riff on the design. I chafe under those kinds of restraints. Not gonna post any example pics because I don't want to offend anyone but it happens lol. Most of my clients are great though and give me a pretty free rein!

Hope this answers your question. If you've got any other questions about art or how I draw or whatever, just send them my way!

Kevin, great and mighty, voiced by the amazing @earndiltheequalizer!

The folk over at Ogre Poppenang have the remarkable ability to make a character hilarious one moment, and heartbreaking the next. I think Kevin here is one of my favourites. I hope he survives the series.

Lemme tell ya, making a guy with a nose like a mosquito look forward wasn't easy, but I think I got it in the end.

I love these, they make me think of something written by an elder god or a yith in lovecrafts work.

I like to imagine the first is a user manual on shoggoth maintenance, the second is a self portrait through the means of what the portraitee has in their pockets right now, and the last is a formal essay of some sort.

#359 ½: Babsol!

#359 ½: Babsol!

Sorry, I really couldn't think of a better name for it.

I always think its interesting when you get non-legendary pokemon that don't have younger or baby versions, and its always a good experiment to take a crack at what you think they'd look like.

Babsol hasn't grown into its swooping hair, or elbow spikes, or horn yet, but it still has eerie portents of the future to deal with. Not having learned to deal with such things yet, they can be a little emotional and moody but are easy enough to get along with with a little care and understanding. we've all been there Babsol, we were all teenagers once.

Absol itself reminds me of the Sphinx or those man-headed lion bodied and winged things you get in babylonian mythology. beast with the face of man telling you things you might not want to know.

little bugger has major neopet vibes too.
