Some select favourites from my project Building Mirrors//Setting Fires. Did you know I released the whole series as a downloadable PDF that is all nicely formatted with selected writing from the show and nice watermarks and stuff? You can get that here for free.

Perpetua Parties: Eastern and Western Continent

[phillagraves]

Remember when Elena immediately eats shit in that first dungeon in Perpetua? It always makes me laugh, I had to clip it (๑>◡<๑)

anyway back with my second 3d model of the perpetua player characters, this time with elena millefiori! i already love her and had a very clear vision for her (megadungeon hostess is so evocative). once again i learned a bunch of new stuff in blender to test my abilities.

i also put her model on sketchfab so you can rotate her around and around: skfb.ly/py6nM

will be back with more hopefully :^)

friends at the table just began their new season called perpetua and it's like a really excellent point to jump into the show. I've been following the show for a really really long time and I think you should come with

totally new main campaign, you don't need to have seen the previous seasons

[phillagraves]

perpetua pcs!

[phillagraves]

elena and veile!! I had fun going rly anime on these designs lol

more designs. I had so many iterations for elena. I ended up liking the most bard-like design even tho I thought I'd go for the more hostess or roman design. for veile I got her pretty quickly lol 😭 I kinda wish I did a little more. perhaps in the future.

also an arley from world building 💯 claudio would make a beautiful elf

New Friends at the Table season Perpetua has decided to put itself directly in my wheelhouse. Here's Elena and Veile!

An animation based on an Asepsis Drone attempting to locate Broun during their interview. Loved this moment in Palisade and I'm so excited for everything happening in Perpetua :D

The World is ending, do not fall asleep now.

for a moment brnine thought they’d finally done something right, but then they realize they’re still alive

an extremely delayed secret samol gift for grace<3

45 seconds of animation(+10 seconds of credits)

brnine and dahlia stand in a sunny but lifeless approximation of a livingroom. one of the windows is a map of all divinity that blinks. dahlia gestures at flashes of space battles, brnine slowly reaches into a pocket of their cargo pants.

brnine and dahlia, close up, stand in front of the map, but brnine’s reflection has been replaced with an image of valence glowing and angry. the glass begins to break and the camera pans to dahlia, whose reflection is crysanth, bloodied and snarling.

an excerpt of brnine’s interview with continental countunghouse begins to play when the camera cuts to brnine alone in the stellar combuster room. lights flash and they crouch down to pick up a tangle of wires on the floor.

a closup of the wires in their hands flashes between integrity, bloody, and valences arm opened for maintenance. their hands tighten around the objects in unison as the blood from integrity drips down their wrists.

a drop of blood meets water pouring into a glass, mixing into a the bright lavender that has been used to represent valence throughout.

brnine’s hand lifts the glass and behind it are gur sevraq and valence having a discussion. they rotate and valence fades away, leaving only gur sevraq who turns and looks at brnine while The Figure sits up in front of them, revealing that it was a recording or a ghost the whole time.

tears drip down the figure’s concrete face. the tears become sweat dripping down brnine’s face as they finish their interview, awkwardly finishing a glass of water before grimacing and waving, “hi mom, i guess”

Austin Walker's new TTRPG is fascinating to me. Realis is built on a strange core mechanic where characters advance by becoming more specialized, and unlike in the average game where specialist skills are added on top of generic skills, here there's a serious trade-off. A weak ability to win fights grows into a medium ability to win swordfights grows into a powerful ability to win swordfights against royal guards. A weak ability to track prey grows into a medium ability to track prey at night grows into a powerful ability to track prey at night on the tundra. Austen talks about how this is partially inspired by Berserk's changes over decades, and how this will encourage players to start with simplistic, archetypal characters, and mold them over time and through play, into something more unique and specific both in gameplay and storytelling terms.

But also this game's core mechanic is literally just about aging, about the beauties and tragedies of aging and hopefully getting good at one thing but losing the chance of getting good at a hundred other things, mastering your life but letting go of other possibilities. Heavy.

A fan animation based on the "duel" between Kalar and the sword bearer in episode 11 of Palisade.

[phillagraves]

it makes me so crazy that friends at the table isn’t more popular. oh hey do you want to check out this thing that literally changed my life? can i tell you about some of the best stories and characters i’ve ever encountered in any medium or genre? no? okay!

[phillagraves]

Palisade was crazy good this season.

[phillagraves]

The maps of the divine cycle so far…

[phillagraves]

It is afraid, and wounded, and it cannot know the power it gives without seeing it first in the reflection of a Candidate's eyes

Secret Samol time! @bronanlynch asked for some Sokrates/Integrity, so this is a lil comic from Integrity's perspective, remembering Sokrates.

(And maybe some incidental Thisbe/Integrity if you squint :3)

TWs for under the cut: canon typical body horror, death of a parent, light nudity (there's undies), blood (but its purple)

I had such fun with this one, sorry it's so SAD. I feel like i am best at lil bittersweet comics XD

This was the first time I've ever drawn a mech and I didnt know how to approach designing it- my references were the ones mentioned on the show (Anubis from stargate and Guyver) as well as traditional Greek clothing.

As a lil bonus: I also made a couple phone backgrounds just for fun!
