AAAAA

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.

King (Queen?) Salmonids

Just let them kiss Nintendo. You can make it a valentines day special mission and everything.

Grim Squeaker

A heavily Discworld inspired commision made for my good buddy, Grimrat!

I'm still rather chuffed with this one despite it being a year or so old now, and its interesting for how the lineart was pencil and ink scanned in, and the paint was digital.

This is my husband holding my fat little boy! Such a lovely baby boy.

enough religious spam blaze posts here’s my biggest ferret instead

"Friends before Fortune"

Waaaaay back in the Horse Days I made a series of MLP themed posters where the main idea was to not actually show the horses at all -try to keep it a little vague, but still use all their colours and symbols.

I think it came from the idea that some people would like to show their fandom of MLP without the obvious and implicit ponys in it for one reason or another, ergo the posters.

This one is Rainbow Dash; everyones favourite pride flag coloured sports-lesbian.

Dwarfen Miner, finding some Adamantium

I love the classic Dorf Fort art style. an ASCII/PETSCII kind of look with limited colours and shapes. Really gets your imagination going you know?

I put a wee plump cap and a hidden monster in the picture too, as is required of a spooky cavern.

Made using PetMate, a free PETSCII art maker thing!

Magical Girl in Training

Fighting evil by moonlight. Winning love by daylight. Never running from a real fight. She is the one named Sailor Moon!

I never really watched Sailor Moon or any of the other magical girl shows, but much like other anime tropes like big mecha and kaiju and super sentai it kind of just trickled culturally into my brain over time.

ACAB

I used to want to be a police officer once, but now I know better. Institutional violence is nothing to aspire to.

Estus Is Bestus

Experimenting with some stuff on Procreate.

For the longest time I thought Estus was some kind of potion, probably made of undead special juice. Turns out its basically liquid fire of some kind, which explains why it refills at bonfires!
