A mythic version of Qopa! During their adventures on New Phyrexia, the party found Darksteel, and Qopa has retrofitted it to his armor. Now, he's practically indestructible.
A little too late for the Bad Batch finale and May the 4th, but I had to get this out of my system. Both unaltered clones of Jango growing up at a regular rate compared to their Trooper brothers, and discovering they have one more sibling.
Recently rewatched Gravity Falls with its resurgence online, and I was itching to give my take on an older Mabel with an absolute unit of a Waddles (who is a regular farm pig after all).
To go along with this, I also wrote some fanfic: a letter from Dipper to Mabel, about his return to Gravity Falls years after the show. Read it on AO3 or below!
Dear Mabel,
I hope everything is going well back home!  I miss you already, but it’s so good to be back in Gravity Falls too. A  lot has changed since our summer here.
The first week of my internship at McGucket Labs has been amazing. McGucket has really transformed Northwest Manor into a fantastic campus (though he still insists everyone call it “the Hootenanny Hut”)! There are so many brilliant scientists and engineers here, and most of them have a refreshingly open mind about the nature and use of all the weirdness you can find in Gravity Falls. My experience with all that stuff is already paying off big time. Yesterday some PHD dude asked for my opinion on practical applications of necromancy (I told him it was a bad idea)!
Candy says hi by the way! It’s funny, for me this internship is all the way across the country, but for her it’s practically in her back yard, even though we both got that scholarship. Also, she tells me Grenda is more or less officially part of the Austrian aristocracy at this point? Apparently she and that Marius duke guy got engaged, did you hear about that?? Turns out I’m completely out of the loop with your friend group.
Candy and I have been hanging out with, of all people, Pacifica and Gideon. Can you believe it? Pacifica works at Corduroy Lumber these days. Probably in some misguided sense to get back to her roots, but I think it’s doing her some actual good. Working with her hands has been teaching her valuable life lessons I guess. It makes it a bit weird if Wendy also comes hang out, because she’s technically Pacifica’s boss – but you know Wendy’s cool about that.
Gideon is still running the Tent of Telepathy, so, not all winners. But he’s turned into a more lovable kind of swindler I think, like a younger Stan. He’s honestly kinda funny now (except that he’s taller than me). Wendy also told me he has a thing for Pacifica, and once she did, I couldn’t unsee it. He’s all over her! Pacifica hasn’t noticed, even though they spend a lot of time together. Or maybe she just hasn’t deigned it with a reaction... Either way, both of them are a ball to go for a drink with, whoda thunk.
You also have a lot of hugs from Soos, Melody and the baby (Stan Jr is sooo cute). (Yes, I asked. Melody promised to make you godmother of the hypothetical next child. You owe me.) The Shack is as charmingly ramshackle as it was back when we were here, but Soos finally got the old man stink out. I’m staying in Grunkle Ford’s old secret office because our room was converted to baby chamber. I still haven’t gotten the Bill murals completely off the walls and I have no natural light down here, but I spend most of my time at Northwest Manor the Hootenanny Hut anyway.
Or in the woods! Being back here really was a good move for my Youtube channel, there’s so much more supernatural stuff here than in California, and people are loving it. (I saw you liked my last video, thanks!) I’m currently tracking down what I think is the actual Gobblewonker. I analyzed some detritus samples from the lake, and there were feces from a large reptile present. From what we know, none of the dinosaurs in the mine were aquatic, so my current hypothesis is that it’s an unrelated creature. Especially since, according to my research, the Gobblewonker story dates back at least a century. I also gotta show Ford some of my findings. You know they’ve come across some aquatic monsters in the Bermuda Triangle. (Have you also been getting his mails with scans of the fourth journal? Truly fascinating stuff.)
Either way, I’ll keep you posted, and you’ll be able to watch the result online.
Give my love to mom and dad, and Waddles a tummy rub!
Awkward sibling sign off,
Dipper
PS. Along with the photo’s in the envelope is that stuff you wanted. Be safe with it! There’s a reason it’s illegal in the parts of the forest controlled by the gnomes. But also have fun, I have it on very good authority it’s the good stuff.
It’s birthday season for our Dungeons & Dragons campaign set in the Magic the Gathering universe. This year I’m doing planeswalker cards again!
A new version of Salas! Salas continues his search for more and diverse spells. He also crafted a staff for himself, combining Kaladesh, Esper and Ixalan techniques, and now dons a Robe of Scintillating Colors. The robe was crafted by a contact of Xithrel together with the shield they hold in Xithrel, Immortal Aetherborn, a Spellguard Shield. You’ll notice the similar semi-organic designs. That’s because they’re made with monster parts from Ikoria.
Mechanically I’ve tried to represent Salas’s divination magic again, as well as his new fascination with the Disintegrate spell (the ultimate bouncing everything).
It’s birthday season for our Dungeons & Dragons campaign set in the Magic the Gathering universe. This year I’m doing planeswalker cards again!
A new version of Xithrel! They’re officially immortal now that they can create etherium themselves, though Tezzeret’s hold on them and the party at large stays strong as ever. Couple of interesting things with this one: their arm is a recently created etherium prosthesis (it’s basically a Blood Fury Tattoo they had to lose an arm for), and their Pact Weapon is now a strange sword the Saiba Futurists created with the Phyrexian remains the Futurists found in the aftermath of Jin-Gitaxias’s initial incursion of Kamigawa (which Xithrel then stole). The monster on their shoulder is the Accursed Construct, a reflavored Accursed Specter.
As usual, a lot of mechanical callbacks to Tezzeret planeswalkers. The second +1 discarding a card is a nod to Xithrel’s use of mind magic like Synaptic Static and Mental Prison.
It’s birthday season for our Dungeons & Dragons campaign set in the Magic the Gathering universe. This year I’m doing planeswalker cards again! Voldor’s player had to step away from the campaign for a bit, so I brought in a new person! His character is a kappa (tortle) armorer artificer from Kamigawa. Qopa only just sparked (roughly during the Neon Dynasty story), so I gave him an uncommon card.
One day you find yourself on the beaches of Esper, apparently surrounded by a metal you just invented yourself, the next you’re wisked away by two planeswalkers to the past of New Capenna, to infiltrate the Cabaretti as part of a grand Halo heist.
As an armorer and artificer, a mechanical tie to equipment was logical. Lots of loyalty, because Qopa is well armored!
Commision for one of my friends! He's the one who plays Dolgrum in our post-Strahd D&D campaign, but this character is for a campaign I'm not a part of.
It was really fun to draw very organic forms that were still clearly part of an artificial being.
At the gamestore I frequent, they're starting a new season of organised play, and Calcium is my new D&D character!
They were the runt of a group of gelatinous cubes, but got Awakened by an adventuring party. Calcium then became the assistant of the wizard of the group, a necromancer. Clacium lacked a real spark for magic, but picked up a few tricks. With that adventuring party Calcium learned they also really liked killing stuff, like all their cousins in the old dungeon. At some point Calcium went solo, persueing a carreer as bounty hunter, but they still do some adventuring every now and then. Their personality is based on Krombopulos Micheal from Rick and Morty. Calcium keeps bones from their targets in their body as trophies (and to draw a little magic from, as a treat)!
