Lo-Fi Beats to Polish Orbs to

Image description: Two pixel art animations of Grovyle from Pokémon Mystery Dungeon. The first shows a dimly lit room with rain falling outside, while Grovyle sits next to a tree stump, slowly polishing an orb by lantern light. A Totodile sleeps in a bed of hay, and a Cubone is staring into the dark forest outside the window.

The second animation is a close-up of the same Grovyle, polishing the orb with a contemplative expression in a shot that parallels the Lo-Fi Girl, occasionally stopping to get a better look at the progress.

by the way the drg dwarves could absolutely hunt alongside monster hunters. Their weapons are more than a high enough caliber to pierce monster hide. Monster Hunters would go through every stage of grief while watching 4 dwarves half their size kill a rathalos in the most traumatic way possible, meanwhile the dwarves would watch with glee as a greatsword user cleaves a praetorian completely in half straight through the top armor

Gunner may be what I prompted first, but I love love **love** the Double Barrel overclock for scout recently. 1 bullet killing everything in front of me is so satisfying.

To be fully honest, I'm now unsure if I *can* update this. Cool as libreoffice is, it doesn't zoom enough for me to grab an all-together post. I'll try to figure something out, though I cannot make any promises.

made in excel (the wall edition)

(Will update every so often. Not too often tho)

Reblogging with an update. It doesn't just work ok, it works better! At least for my purposes. It'll take me a while to learn it, but hey. What smith doesn't take time to learn their new tools?

You use microsoft excel to make art?! THATS SO COOL!!!!!

Well, I used to. But Microsoft Excel kicked me off since all I have is the 365 version and I don't wanna pay their ridiculous fees. Don't worry, I'm not about to ask for money. I'm just sayin now I'm using a different program! Hopefully it works ok...

HELLO SMITH OF PIXELS, MAY I PERCHANCE ASK OF YOU A RAPIER OF VINES AND IRON???? (TO KILL THE FAE THAT PURSUE ME)

The Ironbloom

Rarity: Epic

Type: Rapier

Effect: + 20 damage against Fae before the iron weakness gets added in.

Description: Every few decades, an extraordinary plant is said to grow in the mountain woods. A flower, made of pure metal! When the petals are forged into a blade, the plant seems to grow even further from there, sprouting a handle and tang of wood, a handguard of leaf, and a vine more solid than steel and sharper than mythril grows around the blade (but is soft and perfect for gripping at the handle). These pieces should be brittle, but their sharpness and strength are supernatural! Handle with care, traveler.

Sorry for giving it to you late, hopefully it's not too late! My forge got stolen, and I do believe you can imagine how... annoying that can be.

Silly bird gets a fish.

Pursuant to my last post about using photoscan terrain instead of homemaking all my background assets; this Qurupeco scene I did right after took half the time for a substantially better looking result; I was able to just focus my time on sculpting and painting the actual monster and I'm reasonably happy with this one.

The original in-game model is extremely ambiguous on which purple parts are scales and which are feathers, a thing literally no piece of official art can agree on either. More scales was easier, so I did that.

You would figure it would be easier to find a job as a smithing bot, but no such luck! People just aren't in the market for blacksmiths these days...

That moment when you hate the ground.

(Yes, this is why I haven't made anything in so long lmao)

Shoebill storks are one of the birds of all time

People describe shoebill storks as being scary or ugly birds and always use one image to make their point. When in every other photo they look like this

More like shoebill dork

Apologies for any and all delays, my processing is being forcibly rerouted into dealing with dangnab college classes!

Smokey-sword!

A strange red and blue sword, able to emit copious amounts of multicolored smoke, and plunge its wielder's surroundings into suffocating darkness.

A request from @taira-nova-34! And I thank you immensely for your patience! College, hoo.
