Is this thing a Pokémon or a Bloodborne monster?

Going to see the John Sargent exhibition at the Tate (which was excellent) made me want to practice my portraits, then I watched Renegade Nell on Disney plus (which was also excellent), and now this exists.

More Blue Eye Samurai fan art? It's more likely than you'd think. Finished watching it now and it really is very good! Fair warning, it's also very adult - this is not a cartoon for the kiddies.
This is a watercolour sketch of the splash screen when you bring up the show on Netflix, featuring the character of Akemi

Started watching Blue Eyed Samurai last night. Really enjoying it, felt compelled to do a quick, late night watercolour sketch

Spooktober day 4. House on a hill.
I dunno, house on a big creepy skull. How do they get up and down from the house? It's a mystery. Perhaps a ladder or some stairs exist in a universe where the artist remembered to add them.

So weird deer spirit in a swamp forest thing and then a giant moth on a roof.

It's Spooktober! A time for rough ink drawings of weird stuff, like these efforts, loosely based on a horse's skull and the Welsh legend of the Mari Lwyd. Which is more of a Christmas thing, I know, but come on...

Why yes, I have been playing Baldur's Gate, funnily enough.
Anyway, here's a cute mindflayer and their little friend.

Windermere in the rain.
Out for a short walk in some classic Cumbrian summer weather. It was cold and wet, but still lovely.

8 o clock. I liked the contrast of the brightly lit pillar and clock against the quiet, dark kitchen beyond. #monochrome

I always forget to post stuff here, so here's a photo I took in the bar where I work on a quiet night.
Called it Time At The Bar.

The funniest part of the "your teacher dies in every possible ending" copypasta btw is that it doesn't really sell how generic the fucking Wizard game is plot wise on that front.
Like, we have two major spoilers, Rockwood curses Anne and blamed the Goblins for it, and Professor Fig dies regardless of ending. You'd expect therefore two very simple things from this reveals:
1) That this would lead to the classic mid story twist that the "oppressed minority doing terrorism was actually being manipulated the whole time and you the white saviour help them after realising they aren't so bad."
And 2) That the game has multiple endings that are shaped by your actions in the story, despite how in all of them your mentor dies (probably for different reasons each time).
This is however not fucking the case lol.
Because guess what.
Hogwarts Legacy has only two endings.
There is the "Good" ending, where you decide to keep the status quo as is and prevent systematic change, and a "Bad" ending where you "free the ancient magic" and change the status quo, but then promise to work to set ip up back as it was before.
NOTHING you do in the game changes this. Every decision, spell choice, side quest, NOTHING influences these endings. There is no Karma Meter, or checklist of decisions to have to pick the best possible ending ala Witcher, nothing, you are given ONE decision right at the end of the game, between breaking the status quo (bad) or keeping it as is (good) and that's the extent of player choice on what ending you get.
TWO ENDINGS.
ALL BASED ON YOUR FINAL CHOICE.
MASS EFFECT 3, INFAMOUS FOR DOING THIS VERY SAME SHIT, HAD THREE.
And after you have this choice, your mentor dies, and you fight the evil goblin leader who is evil because he was once the victim of a violent hate crime so now he sides with Wizard N*zis and wants to genocide all wizards, and who is, yes, the main villain of the game, not the guy who cursed the girl, nope, we're still murdering an evil minority rebellion leader with a large hooked nose as he's being powered by the status quo breaking "Ancient Magic" the hero is treated like a villain for if he decides to "share with the world."
And then there's a generic eulogy for mentor followed by the house cup being won by your fucking house as a "true" ending, which happens regardless of what choice you pick, and that is a "post credit scene" ending after finishing all collectibles and side quests, just to give the illusion of having 3 endings.
This game is shallow and mediocre beyond belief yet we have people fucking frothing at the mouth for being told they shouldn't fucking play the mid wizard game. You have streamers crying at the gentlest fucking pushback, people going "I can excuse transphobia and anti semitism but I draw the line at spoilers," for one of the most soulless, generic pieces of videogame media of this year.
"Boycotts don't work if the product is good just look at chick fill a" the product isn't fucking good the product is mid the product has an extremely shit plot baked in anti semitism and with boring "twists" and even if it was the fucking masterpiece some of those people claim it is have a minimum of moral fucking backbone and if you can't help yourself PLAY OR EAT SOMETHING ELSE.
IT'S NOT THAT FUCKING HARD.
