i just remembered that i can in fact post Old Art so here is an album cover project from last semester

Details below!

This was the second project of my Illustration Intensive I class last semester, and we had to either design or redesign an album cover, so I chose The Mechanisms

During the project I took a 4-hour detour trying to translate the Red Signal chant into norse runes, aka I threw it through a translator and tried (emphasis on tried) via wikipedia to fix any Weirdness despite knowing next to nothing about runes so its probably. Incredibly wrong lol

I haven’t stopped thinking about Azzy in the background of this Twin Runes art by @akanemnon

Like I said, they MIGHT not make an appearance in lbl, but I wanted to design them anyways. Their individual refs will happen eventually

Now before someone asks and I know they will, oot Zelda is not here, because I cannot for the life of me figure out where she would even be. It pains me to leave her out cuz she has my fav Zelda design, but she has no connection to Time whatsoever. The version that did know Time is in an entirely different timeline, and the one in the correct timeline doesn’t know him. It’s just easier for me to leave her out. So. Yeah.

Shez participating in Faerghus customs!! And celebrations!!

some colored sketches i did while playing rf3s! :]

rune factory 3 remake means so many more people will be able to experience the glory of Sofia

[image ID: two screenshots of the opening meeting for HABBA. the first is from iskall's pov, and the second is from joe's. /end ID]

okay so i often forget just HOW BAD enchantment glint is. iskall has shaders that make it fairly minimal for him and then i open joe's video and everyone is just. urple. they're urple.....

lineart may be tough but my love for rf4 is tougher

✨ rune factory gals ✨

everyone guess what favorite farming game series i've recently started replaying again :)

Design Notes

i think about how the body kendal inherited was deliberately designed approximately one million times per second

vash is from @comicaurora, which you should totally read

the midori ai is in shin ai's computer help him

Day 72: Midori AI is in Shin AI’s computer!! We gotta help him!! (part 2: day 73)

tomorrow’s daily he will be saved

his computer wasn’t built to handle Midori’s AI as well as Shin AI’s so it got a little silly!!

also i turned him into an emoji:

uh oh

So anyway I randomly made myself sad again thinking about an immortal dragon god who knows they’re going to outlive their mortal friends, and makes peace with it, but likewise makes peace with the idea that, when the time comes and the land needs rejuvenating, they’ll die and eventually a new dragon god will be born in their place.

Only then their best friend says “No. You’re not dying,” and agrees to be used as a component for a spell that will bind them to the land instead and, essentially, die. (Sure, there’s a chance someone in the future will figure out how to provide runes without this, and there’s a chance that the spell can be reversed and they’ll be awakened. Sure. This spell almost certainly was not tested, especially since it’s implied that part of what makes it work IS the Guardian’s friendship with Venti so you couldn’t just run a test case and then un-monster them to prove awakening is possible.)

This happens four times. Centuries apart. Time enough to grieve, and distance yourself from mortals, and be lured into the idea again because people are just so interesting, until inevitably your best friend disappears again, probably forever, and you know it was your fault.

Eight hundred years is such a long time, and that’s the LOWER estimate for Leon.

It’s really no wonder that dragon’s depressed.
