Simple Tips for Magic Systems

Typically splitting the writing/explanation of the magic helps me to convey my point.

What is it?

just a general explanation of what the magic actually is, maybe a vague explanation of how it works. Who can wield it? Is it genetic or learnt? What does it look like? Stuff like that.

Purpose

The narrative purpose of the magic is it used for flashy fights that hold more emotional weight through the outcome of the battle, or is it the enchantment of an item and the giving of such an item, means something?

Origins/history

This is self-explanatory and I personally believe this is important, although really only works with medium-hard magic systems, soft systems can have it but may cause issues in world-building.

Techniques/methods/Casting

Obviously, it must be explained to some capacity how magic is done and what happens. eg. if 𝑥 is added to y then 𝓏 will occur. Of course, this is respective to what the magic is itself. It’s mainly the place to further expand on the ‘what is it?’ section.

Limitations

THIS ONE IS MY FAVOURITE. Please, cripple your magic to hell, and bring those who wield it down to a level only slightly above the normal person. OR create a cost that is great enough to be debatably not worth it in certain situations. of course this really depends on the hardness of your system. This is also where you put something like the cost and price of your magic.

Progression

how does the magic evolve over the course of a wielder’s life? whether they learn or have it genetically handed down how does one get better at magic?

I’ll be posting an example of how this looks when paired with an actual example soon, so you’re welcome to follow for that, otherwise, I hope this helped! Have a great day :)

New and improved coop animals are now available!

Linktree in my bio to the shop c:

I've updated every one to match the game colors as closely as possible. As always smooth shiny finish

In an effort to improve my shipping times, I've got tons available and ready to go!

Note: Due to Etsy's upcoming fee increase I have had to increase prices slightly

guys listen listen listen im going insane about the artist attention to detail with their designs holy fucking shit man look at them look at them they genuinely look like fraternal twins and the children of their parents in actual character structure, not just colors holy fucking Shit.

Emizel has Jeffrey's hair color on top but the Queen's hair color closer to the roots where his undercut is. Emizel also has Jeffery's eye shape and the Queen's eyebrow shape!! He has the Queen's cheek bone and jaw shape but Jeffery's chin shape, and he also has Jeffery's overall mouth shape with the stern flat line.

Shilo has the Queen's eye shape and Jeffery's eyebrow shape. He has the Queen's cheekbone and chin shape, but Jeffery's jaw shape. He also has the Queen's overall mouth shape, with the little bow in the center. ALSO!! VERY TINY DETAIL!! but where the light hits jefferys hair and eyebrow in the upper left, its the same golden shade as shilos hair!!

and then on both of them, they both have the same nose, with the Queen's bridge shape but the fathers nose tip shape.

You thought it ends there? No Sir!!!! Even their body structures match!!! Emizel has the Queen's body structure with wider shoulders and hips and narrower waist in a general hourglass silhouette structure, while Shilo has Jeffery's general body shape with the broader/rounder chest and straighter narrower hips providing more power and definition to the upper body

Anyway, to the artist - you did a fantastic job I love them Dearly so so much,, if im Correct in these observations that so fucking cool of you incredible skills there im devouring it,, if im Not Correct then my apologies im simply utterly insane about this show and their designs and im searching for enrichment

GIVING C!TOMMY AN ADDICTION WAS ACTUALLY A FUCKING INSANE CHOICE BUT ITS SO GOOD

naur bc of course they used invisibility. OF COURSE the chosen substance literally covers all of his trauma. can't be seen, can't be chased. he can spy and brew potions like he used to do in lmanburg days. can't cause problems if he can't be seen. he feels strong. in control. like he can't be touched, even. do yall see how fucking genius this choice was

god DAMN this was a dangerous move but holy shit is it a good one like it's such a realistic direction for c!tommy to pivot to. he's probably been living under crazy stress for the past YEAR (yes. dream escaped prison a year ago), especially since the whole stunt with the disc under his house. if he can be seen, if he can be located, he can be trapped. he can be ambushed. of course he would turn to something that makes it impossible for anyone to get ahold of him unless he wants them to. not being seen, when it feels like someone is always watching you, is obviously one of the few modicums of control you could get back over your life when the person that's always watching is seen in your head as an unstoppable force. it was an absolutely insane choice, and they could have moved to drug use in ANY capacity and it would have made sense, but SPECIFICALLY INVISIBILITY was such a good move on cc!tommy's part. he's a genius for that one and thats the gospel truth

2 things.

First: HOW DO I DRAW HANDS (I ask this to literally every artist I follow this is nothing new)

Second: what helps you get through an art block.

I made this for my caricature trainees. Anything is easy to draw once you figure out the simple shapes. 

As for a block, I just scribble through it and draw aimlessly. Doodling stupid things, just letting my hand work. Life draw pedestrians, animals ect. Anything but take a break. I draw everyday, even if it’s just circles and scribbles. Gotta keep the muscles in tune.

Martin: Hey buddy, you doing alright? Want some tea? A little break maybe.
