Tea Time With Harl

I do tea time because I’m bad at sleeping

[harldelotl]

Hallo World. Here again to make another post:

Okay so house has had no internet for the past few days (TLDR; Xfinity sucks). Nevertheless, I have a final creative project due on Sunday for my Shamanism and Witchcraft course.

Pretty much I am presenting Philippine Shamanism, Babaylan, through Minecraft. How will it turn out? Only future me knows, but here’s my office as one of the sets for the video and I got a few more sets to design and build in game! So we’ll see how it goes from here!

[harldelotl]

Hello World,

My creativity is back on the rise and just need to use this to mark a general concept for a DM Screen. Sort of want it where it folds neatly into a bookish sort of look like the second photo is.

Just trying to decide out whether I design the center bit to take in background images through physical slides OR use the definitely not sus IPad my brother got everyone for Christmas (he did not have a job and it’s from a weird, obscure company I have never heard of).

In all honesty, might end up just doing both.

[harldelotl]

I also like getting these old Dinosaur trading cards at those antique store. And it’s just… weirdly fun collecting them!

The art is cool (even if the dinosaurs are inaccurate) but cool nonetheless!

Here’s some of the art!

[harldelotl]

Got these at an antique store!

Love the art of older DnD books and I will 100% customize these X-Men figures for some DnD minis!

[harldelotl]

I did another thing! Saw a vid on YouTube, wanted to give it a try. BOOM! Dungeon Tiles!

Gonna see where this takes me!

[harldelotl]

After a long absence missed by… no one really, I’m back! School was a lot (and still a lot) and Halloween took a lot of my time.

Here’s my costume! It’s SpringBonnie from FNAF and it’s homemade! Very proud of this one honestly! I’ll share more photos later but it is 2:15am and I’m quite tired!

so i noticed something with the official fnaf movie playlist

the way the songs are organized seem to be that they put all the songs featured in the movie first, then added the fansongs all below it afterwards. which raises the question

why are you first

[harldelotl]

I’m not trying to keep my hopes up so I won’t be disappointed… but I will literally scream in the theatre if this happens to be true

[harldelotl]

Oki, I’m actually quite surprised by the result of the Owl Bear! More photos are just other Angeles and the lil bandit guy I painted while Owl Bear dried!

[harldelotl]

I’ve made this abomination! Painting it rn but wanted to showcase what it looks like beforehand!

[harldelotl]

So I found this at a Goodwill for $4.99!

Essentially got a set of dice and 16 minis and although they are EXTREMELY SMALL for the scale I currently have, I may find a good use for them (in fact, I don’t even pay attention to scale that much)

[wormnobook]

erm i'm like soooo jealous maybe i should go do things more and then i could experience the joy of buying so many minis for so little moneys

[harldelotl]

It’s a 10/10, i recommend experience!

"You feel connected to the creature somehow, and you feel a chill running through your body, like... it chose you"

[harldelotl]

The last bit of the line always gives me the chills

[harldelotl]

Had my first DM session and it went pretty well! Currently ended in a cliffhanger of Seam and Gwen hearing some screams and running from the alley way!

Note, none of the characters have officially met except Gwen and Seam. Luna (the Bard) is sort still running her little market stand).

There was a whole side story of Brad the Doorknob Guy, but I think I’ll talk about that a later date!

[harldelotl]

Not the greatest, but I’m actually very happy with these!! Only thing is I can’t figure out how to make Gwen (Rogue at the front) more feminine.

[next-of-kith]

Free painting advice follows. Ignore me if you don't want that, or feel free to ask me followup questions if you have them. 🙂

Well, I see Gwen is masked. That suggests she's hiding her identity, and may be perfectly happy being occasionally mistaken for a boy or young man. Storytelling does a lot of heavy lifting when it comes to gender!

For a visual cue, you could thin down some paint and tint her lips pink or red. That tends to read as more fem. The paint should be "glaze" consistency (almost like colored water) for a natural tint, or "layer" consistency (very runny, but definitely still paint-like) for deliberate makeup. Both approaches will need some careful brushwork to avoid fruit punch mouth. I see plenty of control in your execution of the mask, so I think you've got what you need; just be careful.

[harldelotl]

Hallo! And yes, I welcome advice and tips anytime and thank you!

Yeah, was actually thinking I could probably do something with lips to give off the more fem vibes but couldn’t figure out how. Thank you for the glaze consistency advice though! Might try that out tomorrow and see how it goes!

Ya boi here got to turn these two into a Half-Orc with chain armor and a Half-Elf child rogue respectively!

If anyone reads this, their names are Seam and Gwen. And yes, they’re Incredibles 2 figures I found at Goodwill!

[andromeda049]

One of the funniest feelings of binging Doctor Who is when you get to an apparently super hated episode and while you're watching it you think "huh, this is pretty good actually. I like this"

[harldelotl]

Me with “The Unicorn and The Wasp”

Might also be just that I like A LOT of the episodes anyways.

[andromeda049]

I was genuinely so surprised when I found out that one was disliked, particularly because it's like the only episode from series 4 outside of Partners In Crime where Donna gets to be funny and happy from beginning to end lol.

Although I imagine that Gareth Roberts being transphobic soured out the experience for many which is fair.

[harldelotl]

Oh damn, I never even knew the writer was transphobic, shit. Makes more sense now.

It could also be that I’m a sucker for murder mysteries and Doctor Who episodes with famous, historical people!
