This week in Ludo mentis Centreterre-

We have to switch our playing time. We tried a sunday morning session. It didn't work. XD

However, we did prepare to go to the opening of an art gallery Vermeille was invited to by a noble! While discussing making a few paintings to find patrons to fund our adventures, the subject of drawing Igueul naked came up-

And my hand slipped.

It didn't happen, but the mental image was too vivid, especially because of the rivarly between Igueul and Vermeille! The tension! The shipping! I HAD to draw it! XD So have a sketch of our bard naked! That's all for this week!

#ludo mentis centreterre #I'm surprised at how well it turned out!#I haven't drawn a nude in so long!#This one might be my favorite! :D #Even if it was without any reference. XD

Twin polar bear cubs Kallik and Kallu from the Toledo Zoo.

#zoo animals #unproblematic cute #I'm still learning how to edit out the distortion of heavy acrylic windows #I was quite surprised how well these turned out #these boys are also basically grown now this was last summer #polar bears

You’re new to the Princess-Rescuing business, aren’t you? (P1 | P2 | P3) (Patreon)

#Doodles #SCII #The Captain #DAX #My brain presented me with a punchline and then stepped back to let me figure out how to get there #And then had the audacity to feel silly for making the path!#How rude #Lol #Well I did it anyway! And it was in fact silly but in a good and fun way! So there brain! Lol #It was admittedly a bit touch-and-go for a while - I love silliness so much! But it kept turning out in a way I wasn't satisfied with #And then I'd draw the next thing and be like ''No actually that's funny/cute'' and everything was fine - and then it'd repeat! Pfft #But I'm happy with it by the end so it's fine >:3c Trust the process!#Anyway - the the Actual Thing lol #Considering the various SCII/adjacent vibes lately it might not surprise you to hear that alt outfits have come back into my crosshairs #Cough cough Pirate Fic cough - but those aren't the only vibes! Make something similar but not the same! Why not fantasy!#It is a classic go-to lol #It was fun thinking how the Captain's uniform could be translated into a more Princely aesthetic haha #I didn't do the same for DAX but that's mostly 'cause I just wanted to put him in human clothes lol #Plus I'm sure you can imagine who else will feature :3c And they couldn't just match! Part of the comedy is appearance-based!#Which is part of why it's funny for DAX to answer in the first place haha ♪ That's no dragon!#The Captain always bursting onto the scene without thinking things over first haha - what were you expecting Captain!#Also hey rude don't look so relieved that DAX wasn't the princess! What if it was a test and he /was/ the princess!#He'd be in so much troubleeeee ♪ Well he still might be hehehe

After finishing a quick sketch for a possible future drawing I thought these headshots looked pretty nice, so I slightly cleaned them up and colored them.

Here's a darker version just because.

#loaf art #fnaf daycare attendant #fnaf sun #sundrop #fnaf moon #moondrop #I'm surprised how well the faces turned out despite not using references #I guess this means I've stared at the dca's faceplate for the correct amount of time #the darker version is courtesy of repeatedly turning the background layer on and off while coloring

formerly an essay in tags but - billie lurk. half-nameless, misremembered woman. her powers derived from the things taken from her, without any catharsis or empowerment. the rat charm, tied with deidre's hair, her lover's voice in the mouth of rats. her arm and eye, taken, given back only to cause her chronic pain, then lost again. foresight seems a cruel gift for a woman who botched the timing of her takeover of the whalers, and bet wrong when it came to delilah.

she never bore the outsider's blessing; his first visit to her was more like an assault. every other dishonored POV character gets the choice to be selfish, and for that selfishness to mean something, but billie's actions have no effect on the world at large, either, in a game without a chaos system.

some say that corvo is the ghost, but he can reach out and change things. billie's buried herself twice and come back and nothing she does seems to matter - she is less a protagonist, more a convenient full stop in the narrative.

try this: open doto, start a new game. sit in her cabin. notice how little of billie there is. even the woman she loved more than anyone has the face of another named character.

she sits amongst the assets of other games: empty canvases and a dressmaker's mannequin that wears nothing.

#billie lurk #even the wiki is wrong about her its infuriating #pulled this out of tags because fuck it #in daud's DLCs even the stories that weren't about him were about him #but billie's stories are the scrapheap. they're the stuff they couldn't squeeze in elsewhere. cheap jokes and macguffins #i'm not even roasting the devs for this i think releasing dishonored in 2016 then DotO in 2017 was a feat (derogatory)#games should be made slowly and with love #and i know that everyones talked about this endlessly #but billie is my fav and it sucks that she got a game that only causes me to grieve for her as a character #not FOR her as a person #only the potential story that never was. that she never got.#you can have your strong black woman and not turn her into a trope. give her depth and range and heartache and agency. yes there was traged #but how did it SHAPE her?#dont get me started on her being designated caretaker of a former god and dying assassin. what the fuck #some of this i'd be more okay with if she was younger - i mean. the blank canvases? really?#this game could have been about wyman and there's not that much that would have changed in terms of the core story #“found out the asshole that killed your mother is still around. gonna go deal with that.”#emily who is stoned: “cool.bring me snacks on the way back”#wyman: “oh he's saying actually it was gods fault and that its possible to kill him. well i have literally nothing in my schedule”#billie's not surprised by anything anymore but maybe wyman would freak out over most of it. could have been a lot of fun #also you cant fuck up wymans characterisation. they barely exist.#local empress sends her enby girlboyfriend to kill god #pres writes increasingly deranged essays in the tags #death of the outsider spoilers #i have to complain about doto once every year or so or i die #but i'm not really gonna let arkane hide behind dev excuses when it comes to racism like. its not enough

Shiny buttered gold. Secret Santa giftieeeeee. I had to speed run the digital part of this one a little bit, and it still ended up taking me an hour for that.

#equine art #horse art #secret santa art #kifuart #quarter horse #he's a palomino dun brindle??? with like splash and tobiano AND overo (I don't see the overo but not my horse)#anyway he was fun #even though he's supposed to be a yearling whoops #proportions on his hind end and I got into arguments #I'm almost surprised it turned out as well as it did considering #i also had like way too much to do this week and executive dysfunction hit me HARD #though i did read quite a lot while doing nothing i guess #but once i did get my markers out he chugged along quite swimmingly #really enjoyed myself once it came down to it #i love the dramatic lighting of the reference picture though #and we all know how much i love shineh horses

Ichiro day!!

#hypmic #hypnosis mic #ichiro yamada #happy birthday to our poster boy :D #oh my god finally i've made a bday card for each hypmic character over the past year i am FREE #(main male characters. unfortunately i've forgotten how to draw women so no chuohku cards for now </3)#never doing this again gshhshd 18 drawings per year doesn't sound like a lot but. it is to me #the good thing is the bdays kept me drawing at least once per month so i couldn't ever truly slack off #another good thing is i learned a lot! and got to know the character designs of everyone better #but hoo boy am i excited to finally not have to think abt these. maybe i'll get back to drawing personal ideas again now #anyway i was surprised by how well this turned out cuz i've been struggling so much with drawing lately (especially faces)#and i had never rly drawn ichiro before so i was worried but!! it's fine wooo!!#or like. i'm moderately happy at least #7-7-cherry drawingz

I'm convincing another cousin to watch jjba and it backfired me cuz she's the one I showed how to use ao3 last year and now knows I've written jjba wlw 💀

#I swear I thought she would forget about it #but la cabrona had my profile saved all this time in a tab xP #now she sees me like 🏳️‍🌈❓#and ofc there was no lack of 'you are lesbian' jokes #i didn't mind it bc I feel this way won't be a big surprise that I'm bi xD #but now I'm afraid she'll read my garbage #oh well we'll see how this turns out #another good thing about this is that she no longer thinks I'm a hardcore fujoshi xD #chismesito 🐍
