#drawing last night. A modeling video I watched converted a huge dragon model to a bat styled dragon for use in Ravenloft. I figured this was a nice vampire dragon design and thought a Ravenloft-y PC to fight could be a werewolf, but now I think I’ll nix the werewolf to show off the dragon more.
#drawing last night - there’s a little composition thumbnail of a more angular version I’d think might look more dynamic - but maybe this actually works as is? Also part of why I was thinking of Excalibur earlier was listening to the soundtrack while drawing.
#subpost an accurate map of the USCSS NOSTROMO, in which every room is carefully labeled "Jonesy licked his butt here"
*grossly oversimplifies the end of WWII*
USA: We can produce whole shiploads of M26s SO let's just drive M4 variants everywhere.
Japan: Increasingly intense strategic bombing means we CAN'T produce this prototype fighter better than the P-51, let's just dig in a batch of tanks which were outgunned in 1938.
USSR: This is basically what the Germans have except it's stamped out of the crappiest steel and also Warsaw Pact forces will still be using it in 1980
Germany: We'll have resentful, half starved slave labor manufacture an incredibly expensive, hard to repair [Sache] which teenagers will field against Brit/Canadian/Polish vets.
@LexYeen Karloff was a serious badass, but he never got the recognition he wanted and it came out in being kinda petty.
Earlier today, I was thinking that I shouldn’t really dismiss my hobbies or little hyperfixations, I spend/spent so much of my life on all these day job things which are ULTRA SUPER MATURE AND VITAL, so I can afford rent/gas/insurance/etc which is also DEADLY SERIOUS… or is it? With the exception of the food bank or medical office jobs a lot of it didn’t feel that much more important than my dumb little pictures, meals or books.
Lest we all think I feel nothing but pissed off, here’s last night’s #drawing. Wound up being a weird sledge, rather than a weird cart.
just this bad intersection of age stress ("the best years of my life are now long gone"), parent/job stress ("and all I have left is a long march until I die, there's no other future") and political stress ("and it literally can only get worse for the benefit of people I utterly hate").
Just a lot of my buttons being pushed about it being decided I don't get to have a life outside of someone else's convenience, like before I turned 18 and escaped from there.
@LilahTovMoon must be 'cause of all the cheese
It feels almost like everything that pisses me off is expertly crafted to piss me off these days somehow.
The whole "I keep de-fusing more and more of my life while the world gets bleaker and nastier, so I feel like I'm running at top speeds to stay in place;" I don't know how terrible I'd feel if all this happened when I was even 5 years younger.
Lots of random gunk, but some drawings and cooking talk too. Obsesses about DnD and related topics. Left-leaning/profoundly frustrated politics. Black lives matter; trans rights are human rights.
