How Tamahagane (Japanese steel) was made, video by Life were I'm from.
As Japan did not have many iron ore deposits, it had for a long time to rely on more available satetsu 砂鉄 (ironsand, carried for ex. by rivers). Ironsand was then processed in special furnaces called tatara to make prized tamahagane 玉鋼 (traditional Japanese steel, used among other things to forge swords).
If you've seen Princess Mononoke, you know exactly how tatara forge could look like thank to Lady Eboshi's Iron Town:
... and now I have the Tatara women work song stuck into my head <3
"Traitor" Champion Consul. Only traitor iconography I see on this guy is an easily shaved down belt buckle. Guy's gonna see a lot of mileage in loyalist legions with minimal conversion.
When Lord Saladin asked Eva for a favour she didn’t expect it to be this...
little comic to start off the year poking fun at last week’s glitch where eva’s dawning decor was blocking off saladin’s iron banner booth :P last season I swore I was done with IB for a while so that’s what inspired this comic lol
Tony Stark wakes up from a concussion in a pile of wreckage and just as he was about to reach the reactor, he gets whacked from behind by Feilong who stands there looking smug. Tony Stark and Feilong fight in a no-holds barred beatdown as the former (Tony) keeps pummeling the latter (Feilong) while ranting about the lives ruined by him. When Tony demands at him to shut the sentinels down, Feilong tells him that the Stark Sentinels are not just launched by the humans in Orchis, it's also the Orchis' artificial intelligence especially when Nimrod and Omega Sentinel are involved. Tony Stark tries to call Emma Frost but she tells him that she and the X-Men are now busy as the city is now swarmed by Stark Sentinels. Emma mentions that the humans in Orchis are nothing more than meat puppets under Nimrod the mastermind and the artificial intelligences managing Orchis had betrayed their human creators. Tony Stark is in a difficult position as Emma and the X-Men are too busy to assist him. However, there is still hope left for Tony when Magneto arrives in all his glory as he had been called up by Emma to assist him in fighting Orchis.
In the epilogue and post-battle conversations you sometimes get the opportunity to say that the companions are like a new family to you (if you're Durge, don't know about anyone else) but... well, going off of in-game interactions; I'm fond of them, but these people will probably never go out of their way to talk to anyone else here ever again. Except maybe Wyll and Karlach. Feels like we'll talk about how we should totally meet up more often, and we never will.
(Edit: cleaned some things up and added white to contrast, was bugging me LOL)
Not me using their new hc designs as another means of procrastinating. Nahhh. :^)
No but seriously they're even more fun to draw now??? I love them <3
The secret to having good media taste is to consume so much Absolute Garbage (while understanding it's garbage) that when you get some good shit in front of you, you can recognize it instantly. Anyways that's why I only recommend 0.5% of the media I consume to @xekstrin
