Golden Fleece

#my art #cotl #cotl lamb #blood #it was really fun to ponder this one #cause in the game sprite the body on the fleece has the scale-like texture but the hem is sharp like the standard fleece #i felt a 2 tiered piece would work nicely to show both of these contrasting elements #the sprite always makes me think of gold scale mail but i wanted to avoid it looking explicitly like armor #since the fleece gives you stacking atk damage in exchange of taking 2x damage when hit #although tbqh gold armor would be fucking pointless anyways. gold is a very soft metal. which may have been the point but w/e #instead i wanted the shapes to be more reminiscent of wool since like. yknow. the golden fleece #and i wanted it to speak of luxury and power but be rather impractical for movement or protection #i just wanted to do an axe for funsies and by wonderful coincidence remembered the godly axe was gold :]#anyways this pose is brought to you by my stupid ass who spun too hard with my upper body when swinging a bat and felt cool for 1 second #before totally unbalancing myself and falling #the instant after this image lambo eats shit. rest in peace

Isn’t it funny that you never see anyone throwing a hissy fit over the inclusion of flora not native to Medieval Europe in Tolkien or other fantasy works.

Tomatoes, tobacco, POTATOES, tea and sugar, are all perfectly acceptable and normal for Tolkien to have included in Middle earth, but depict a single character with brown skin, and suddenly it’s not realistic, and WHAT ABOUT OUR HERITAGE.

Forget that we don’t analyze the heritage of white actors playing these rolls to make sure they’re from the proper culture to represent Tolkien’s extremely English story. Has a single person ever complained that Frodo and Sam were played by Americans when Hobbiton is CLEARLY based on rural England?

According to some, Hobbits can grow food and other crops that were only introduced into Europe through the violence of imperialism, but to have the hobbits look like the people who originally grew those crops is sacrilegious.

Medieval Europe, which wasn’t as homogenous as people think anyways, is only ever trotted out to justify hating the inclusion of black and brown characters.

If Sam can wax poetic about potatoes, he can look like came from Peru, like potatoes did.

And if that idea bothers you, maybe examine why.

#tolkien #the silmarillion #lotr #jirt #silm #jrr tolkien #I’m still not about rings of power but that’s because of every other choice they made #also why not take advantage of increasingly evil Numenor’s colonization of Umbar #a canon reality of the second age that saw relations turn from cultural exchange to domination #that is including diverse narratives and one of Tolkien’s opinions that aged great was his anti-imperialism #the condescending way he argued against it didn’t age as gracefully #but you can’t have everything #anyways people need to examine why non white people being included in a work of fantasy makes them angry #I mean we all know why

HANG ON. WAKE WAS SNEAKING AROUND INSIDE HARROW'S HEAD FOR NINE FUCKING MONTHS.

Throw another one into the mix permeating Harrow's soul lads. This little witch can fit so many subliminal influences into her

#if Palamedes picked up smoking after a few weeks/seconds in Ianthe's mind palace how much exchange happens in a few months?#what bits of herself did Wake leave behind in Harrow?#Harrow has always been a stubborn vicious little bitch with a mean streak a mile wide and a deep fanatical devotion to her raison d'etre #and personal trauma surrounding childbirth and reproduction and a tendency to inspire loyalty and devotion #which is all pretty much everything we know about Wake #would we even be able to TELL?#the locked tomb #ntn spoilers #the unwanted guest #tug spoilers #commander wake #harrowhark nonagesimus #harrow nonagesimus

#welcome home #barnaby b beagle #howdy pillar #welcome home au #kinda?#hey does yassified howdy count as an AU? idk but either way I'll tag it ahahha #my art #barnaby x howdy #laughingstock #spreading the laughingstock propaganda #bruh there are many mistakes and inconsistencies here BUT #I did this as a quick sketch thing to get an idea of how to draw howdy and barnaby as I haven't drawn them much otherwise yet #I've had this sitting in my art things for a few weeks trying to add dialouge to fit this #before I gave up and let their expressions talk for em #setting this early on before they confess #main concept for this idea came from that one sketch made with Barnaby burying himself in Howdy's chestfluff for stress relief #said to myself 'Why not have Howdy do that instead?' as equivalent exchange #bro let the impulsive thoughts take over for a second #I don't blame him bc the same thing happens with me and my cats #I say I won't pet em but then they are being to cute and such to resist for long #bet Howdy is trying to play it off in the last panel #I hope you like my humble gift CarnivalCarrion #as a multi-shipper you opened my eyes to this and popstar so ahehehwbbwbeb #also you have no idea how hard I panicked when I realized you already had a design for yassified howdy in his adjusted shopwear ahaha #the tie is out oh well #he needs to keep Some professionalism while letting all that chest fluff breath no?

MERRY CRISIS!!!

Hey look, I'm actually on time for once. Fancy that! What a concept! Here's my gift for @crystalartsandanimation for the @avagiftexchange!

Since the prompts were pretty basic, I combined two of them! Prompt number 1: The Hollow-heads, and Prompt number 3: An AvA/M character wearing an outfit. I used your outfit design for Orange and kinda winged it with everyone else's outfits. I kept the cursor motif, though! Then I worked it all into a movie poster looking thing.

The canvas is also 8.5 by 11 if you wanted to have it printed as an actual poster. I also have the file if you'd like it. :)

Enjoy and happy holidays!

Merry Christmas and happy holidays to everyone! And especially to @water-lemon-alex, who's my AVA/AVM Secret Santa recipient! Sorry to keep you waiting, I... didn't have as much free time leading up to Christmas as I anticipated. Still! I hope you like it.

The request was for Second and Purple interacting, either romantically or platonically. Don't know if this counts as romantic or not, but I'll tag for ships anyways. Happy New Years, everybody!

Really like this little bit of Custodes art that makes them look absolutely terrifying, like their bodies are barely containing the raw divinity of the Emperor and it’s leaking from their eyes.

#my stuff #wh40k #warhammer 40k #also the fact that he looks like…gaunt and withered #how many ppl see custodes unarmored?#like they’re burning from the inside out but #in exchange they are elevated to levels of might second only to a few
