#drawing last night - originally I wanted to riff off the”Celtic elves” concept but I really couldn’t make the description of riastharae from the Tain work on the elf champion’s face. And in fact I’m unsure I successfully communicated it at all!
So I double checked and a Cost of Living Raise is supposed to catch up with the Cost of Living. That's supposedly 2.5% for Seattle, so even though I'm pretty angry about it, my company's willingness to grant me only a 3% raise is basically Cost of Living.
Which then raises the question, how has the cost of living in the Seattle area *only* somehow increased by 2.5%?
#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.

*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.
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.
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.
