“Tol Eressëa” (watercolour, 2026)

One of six new artworks I’m currently working on for a book about the history of the Elves to be published by Legendaria Ediciones.

whatever part of music I ended up in recently has taught me that there are so many more bands trying to do symphonic metal than I realized. and all of them have 4 classic metal men with long hair and then one soprano who looks like she's cosplaying either galadriel or evanescence. and none of them can play the drums.

In this book some mysterious foreigners give Mags a drug that makes him remember his birth family and a bunch of information about their culture. This is Bad, because they’re weird foreigners, but it was Good when Dallen did the exact same thing while feeding him a powerful emotional sedative, because Dallen is a horse

it's like kinda hard to underestimate the extent to which Mercedes Lackey does seem to consider horses some kind of moral signifier. I can't tell you how many times she's used "not good at horseback riding" as a distinguishing feature of a corrupt villain.

This is based on Not Very Many Games - I can't, for instance, tell you that the problem didn't exist earlier - but I do propose that one of the most annoying features of the games following Hollow Knight is the ones where they noticed that it's doing something cool with its map, but not what actually makes it cool. So they just stick a Map NPC somewhere near the start in every section, and instead of trying to balance a sense of exploration of the unknown with the various conveniences of a detailed map, they're just forcing you to pay a Map Fee every time you enter a new location.

may i offer you a crumb of nostalgia? or a refreshing sip of vinegar?

some friends & i ended up talking about animorphs a while ago. at some point in the conversation i was explaining andalites to my partner who never read the books, stopped & went ".........you know what i'm gonna do?" to which people responded with "make an andalite bjd?" and yes. they were absolutely correct.

this also finally motivated me to sculpt a centaur body with more joints. i'm very happy with the range of motion in this, especially how nicely it lies down. need to work a little bit on stability, but the poseability is where i want it.

tumblr making it unnecessarily hard to explain how to navigate its own website. trying to tell tumblr support "ok so if you navigate to the post by direct link it doesn't have a content label, but if you navigate to the post by clicking on the whitespace around the blog name it does. no uh the other whitespace. the blank header area with no name that is inexplicably vital to navigating tumblr. that one causes the bug."

FINROD FELAGUND

latest instalment in the Hot Elves By Balls™️ series features Finrod in an outfit I would probably actually kill people to wear… commissioned by the wonderful @justdrowthings, whose brief for this portrait included the phrases “peak why do we talk about ANYONE when this guy exists” and “major art directive - break me”, and agreeing entirely, I was only too happy to oblige 😌😌😌

commission details etc

09/04/2026 • every time @softinvasions writes a villanelle about how sonnets suck i write another suckful sonnet*. metrical malpractice!

*sonnets do not even have to have 14 lines if you are pure of heart and sonnetpilled enough

How many tablet woven bands are enough?

Trick question!

There is no such thing as enough tablet woven bands!

Oh hey @rumils you don't appear to have asks on so paging - mind saying more about Legend of Khiimori? I was super hyped about the concept but found the demo extremely off-putting - I really disliked having so much UI and detailed minimap and constant skill point management and etc etc between me and my Free Upon The Open Plains horse game. What's it like now?

the bad guy. yeah. that guy
