TMAGP has me thinking about the sublime. The idea of beauty and terror sharing a space in your brain, and the exultation of artistry - a painter like Daria or the virtuoso with the demon violin - to the point of destruction. The joy and horror at seeing a loved one return from the dead. The excitement and fascination of becoming something not quite human, the distress and panic as your body is changed. The shiver of fear as a pleasurable sample of terror.
I wonder where they're going with this.
The effects look so good I might cry, it took me weeks to imitate 1/100 of that
How do you like your coffee this #AniMonday ?
Another conceptual pencil test I did for Blue Sky Studios. We were toying with the idea that the wizard class had more of a "tech" style magic that involved tools and mechanical devices. So I thought it might be fun exploring how a wizard would make coffee in the morning. This is one I wish I took further, did a couple in-betweens, but it was just made to get a concept across. I think it did its job.

MAG 35 mentions my poor meow meow, Gerard "Silent R" Keay, in a Mastodon shirt. I just happen to be wearing a Mastodon shirt. What a great dead guy 🕷️
Also listen they didn't say his hair was BADLY dyed, just OBVIOUSLY dyed. Though in British, that may be the same.

i've seen the sentiment before that chester's first incident reading was very much a "DON'T GO TO THE FUCKING MAGNUS INSTITUTE" message. but now with this one... i think it's highly likely that chester is actively encouraging sam to get more entrenched in this mystery.
this week's incident was pulled up in direct response to sam considering dropping his investigations while talking to celia. a convenient "but wait, there's more! i promise there's not just dead ends!" to keep sam hooked, to draw him (and alice in tow) back to the institute.
which, of course, brings up the question once again of what the fuck chester (and norris and augustus) is (and what its relations to our favorite archivist are) which is not a question we can answer yet but oh i am so excited to find out. at least, i think the idea that chester is directly jon, or.. i dunno, his ghost or whatever, is not supported by this.
this new incident also imo reframes the potential “intent” behind the redcanary incident. from a warning of stay away to a warning of this is dangerous, but there’s so much more to be investigated here. imo.. a be ready for it. i think whatever chester is it wants sam to investigate the institute, but not die in doing so.

“He was trying to find out what he was, and he was afraid of what he would find.
The boy thought that there was something wrong with him. All through his life—even when he was a great man with the world at his feet—he was to feel this gap: something at the bottom of his heart of which he was aware, and ashamed, but which he did not understand. There is no need for us to try to understand it. We do not have to dabble in a place which he preferred to keep secret.”
