Myst but there's survivors and stuff.

Finally got around making some kinda proper informative sheets for the fan characters that inhabit this blog 😌✨

The middle text came out a little too tiny though, so I'll copy it below for anybody who has trouble reading!

Emmit

A survivor from the Stoneship Age. The eldest son of Branch and named after one of his best friends. Most of his people were executed or overworked to death, looking for gold in submerged caves. Only a group of youngsters remains, and he's part of the responsible teens taking charge. He owns a prototypical submarine named Lodestar that his father built some years prior and uses it to navigate what's left of Stoneship.

Limai

A survivor from the Channelwood Age. Son of Ngulu, a high priest and executioner in Achenar's cult. One half of his people was killed either as sacrifices or for treason, the other was massacred by Sirrus' underlings during a hostile resource raid. After fleeing the attack, he has been living as a hermit in a neighboring, heavily forested island. Although some underlings tried to reach into this island and later hunt him down, he ended up successfully killing all of them.

Ruqaya

A survivor from the Mechanical Age. The unplanned result of an affair between Sirrus and Sayida, one of his Mechanical followers. She had a very spoiled and sheltered upbringing due to her mother's "higher" status, and therefore had no idea of the political upheaval unfolding outside. Eventually her home was attacked and her mother murdered, so she was forced to evacuate in a steamship full of workers, being the only upper class member to survive. She's currently discovering and developing her machine handling skills on the elusive Western Island.

There's a lot more that I have thought of regarding these three but I wanted to keep the post concise, you can always ask if there's anything in particular you'd like to know!

Thanks for the likes and support!

The Kadish Tolesa Age (part 1) from URU: The Complete Chronicles. Including the alignment puzzles, and the Vault of Kadish - which gives me the willies. I’m not great with heights, so balancing along those spindly walkways over that yawning chasm makes my stomach lurch.

(Yes, I’m saving the best bit of Kadish Tolesa for another post.)

happy 30th anniversary to Myst tomorrow!! i don’t normally do much pixel art, it was fun to stretch a bit. extremely did not stick to any realistic hardware rules (more research than I’m willing to do for a goof I’m afraid) but it is all color-picked from actual game art

[luigi voice] bring me the a-green pages

Just wanted to share a batch of costume photos from Mysterium last weekend! I'm super happy that my mangree fursuit was such a hit! Still can't believe I was so comfortable wearing it at Cyan's HQ on Saturday considering the heat, but I guess dry heat really does hit different! if I tried suiting like that at home this time of year I would FRY.

The whole weekend was so much fun!! I'm so happy I got to see all my friends from last Mysterium again, and make a whole bunch of new ones! And getting to meet & chat with Cyan in person was awesome too!!

I hope I'll get to see as many of you again as possible in Montreal next year!! 🩵

Digital stained glass. Originally I made the design as a personal seal for a wax stamp, but I think it works just as well for this.

Eventually I hope to use this as a visual asset for a small Uru Live mod, but that’s getting ahead of myself.
