Psalm 27 (2025)

“The LORD is my light and my salvation;

whom shall I fear?

The LORD is the stronghold of my life;

of whom shall I be afraid?” -Psalm 27:1

Here’s a project I did for my watercolor class for college! Our projects are based off of the Psalms, so for this one it was Psalm chapter 27. I chose to focus on the first part of the chapter where it talks about him being our light and him delivering us from the hands of our enemies. I think it serves as a good reminder that he’s there for us, even when we don’t feel like he is. And also any hardships you may be facing, he’ll bring you through them.

Anyway, I hope you like it! :D

Jade Shadows spoilers, just some lore thoughts and theorizing

I wonder if Jade was used for most high-order jade light executions and was the soul source of it, or if she was just an extension of an already existing technology. Before, I used to think the jade light was from some kind of device, but if it's been Jade this whole time at the source that has implications.

Of course, even if she was the source of jade light, it must have been harnessed in devices to allow for remote executions and portability, like on the Zariman and with the Myrmidon. So she wouldn't have had to perform all executions herself in person when even just her residual power is enough to power Parvos' jade eximus units.

But Parvos referring to Jade as an executioner might imply that she was used to perform at least some executions personally, and I imagine those would have been the executions performed in front of the Seven.

Like Margulis.

And if they needed a Tenno operator to control Jade, that would effectively have been using a Zariman kid to kill their adoptive mother using Jade, a victim of Ballas' warframe project during pregnancy.

holy fuck

Edit: Though there's also reason to believe that Jade wouldn't have been the one to execute Margulis because it may have required the use of a Tenno operator, which I can't imagine would go well. But there's still a bit of vagueness around whether Jade needed an operator, similar to how there's vagueness around whether Stalker needs one.

Edit 2 (July 2024): go behind teshin there's new jade lore go go go

Even though Elder is deceased, he still plays a significant role.

This story is moving slowly, sorry.

I like to think Glimmer's hair glows when she's happy.

Right now, she's dreaming about punching someone.

Hunt: Thank you. I never knew that Quinlan… that she meant anything to you.

Jesiba: Of course she does. Do you know how hard it is to find a competent assistant?

Do you have any art advice? Like how didn't you get discouraged until you became this good? Because every time I try I am discouraged because I can't move the image in my head into the real world.

this isnt just for drawing but really any artistic endeavor but you need to be aware of your own skill set. this isnt a place for "my work is garbage" or any of those negative thoughts, you should try without judgement to sit down and see where you're at. and from there you choose one single thing, nothing too big or broad of an idea, to work on differently in your next piece. "i want to draw faces better" is really broad and vague, but "i like how this other artist does eyebrows" for example gives you a pretty set idea to work towards. and once you've found a way to do that one thing in a way u like you can move on to the next thing. and it might seem like its going to take forever to do it that way but once you start its not that bad.

this is going to be disappointing but i also think of what i want to do in my own art style. i havent had the feeling in years of being unable to pull something off because i know what my skill set is and i think in those terms. i work with them not around them. and even then i dont think too concrete i leave room for error and possibly even taking a different direction half way through. if any thing the original idea is a suggestion.

another note you need to learn how to use references. everyone loves to say to use references & never says how to actually do that. using references isn't just copying what you see. using references is looking at objects and colors in relation to each other & how they interact. if u can look at a shirt someones wearing & paint all the wrinkles while looking at it thats great. but really using your references is noticing where that shirt is catching on the person's body to cause those wrinkles. its looking at something in a certain lighting and seeing how the light scatters on it and what other colors are nearby to affect that. especially with shiny things like metals so much of the "shading" in metals is actually reflection of whats around it so copying 1:1 from a reference you find online or take yourself might still not look right in your art. likewise with how light scatters in liquids & gem stones. it's going to depend on what environment its in so copying a reference exactly is only going to get you so far. the more attention you pay to what's going on in your references the more you can play around & still get good results & depending on your memory you might not even need to use them as much as you might think.

as for how i dont get discouraged my love for my subject matter far outweighs however i feel about the end results of whatever i do. i mess up a lot and things look bad & wonky a lot. even more so if im desperate for a good result & trying to rush it. all my best art comes from when i sit down & forget time exists. BUT!!! but!! even when u do things in a way u dont like don't just put yourself down and give up. you can criticize yourself but ONLY if its something that will help you. "my art is garbage" doesnt help anything & is blatantly untrue. "this doesnt look good because i put the eyes too far apart" constructive, direct, that's something you can keep in mind for next time and it WILL lead to improvement if you do. you also don't need to ever actually say that out loud or on your posts if you post your art. there are a lot of things you'll notice about your own art because you're the one who did it and you know you could've done it better or differently. your audience is not going to pick up on it 9/10 times and anyone who's going to harass you about your art not being perfect is not worth your time or energy. and of course don't forget to reward yourself. it can't all be things you need to improve on. don't forget to pick out parts you DO like how u did. something you think is cute or pretty or cool or had a nice angle. no matter how small it is. if you start putting weight/importance on things u liked doing or think turned out well instead of dwelling on everything that went wrong it Will get more fun & rewarding.

Systober Day 2 - "Principal Protector" - Mayhem (any/all) Finally, Mayhem gets a picture of herself! Vivien really pulled out all the stops for this one, drawing inspiration from Panty & Stocking and Borderlands. And from what they tell me, Mayhem itself was giving input and feedback the entire time, effectively making this a collab between the two of them.

We have a lot of "role crossover" in our system, but Mayhem is a fusion of two of our old protectors (Treach and Roxanne) and pretty much exclusively fronts to defend the system in dangerous situations. Whether it's someone acting aggressively or something that puts the body in physical danger, Mayhem auto-fronts to take care of us.

And yes, that firey mohawk is actual fire. That's what happens when a Jack-O-Lantern Ghoul fuses with a Biker Bunny, I guess! - Terry

“Hey, do me a favour. Maybe sometime, you could check inside those suits in the back room? I’m gonna try to hold out until someone checks. Maybe it won’t be so bad. I always wondered what was in all those empty heads, back there”

TEEEHEEEEE I LOVE HIMMMMMM— if you’re wondering this was art made for the comic that me, my bf and his gf are working on called FNAF; Beyond The Shadows :D

Specifically this is a little art of Phoneguy (Scott) back during fnaf 1 but dw… he didn’t die this time ;)
