I have too many hobbies, and I like sharing them.

I keep coming back to this shot in Godzilla Minus One because it's basically perfect. As a classic Kaiju scale shot, it honestly can't be beat.

From the perspective of those beneath him, the only thing larger than the monster is the shadow of destruction left in his wake.

Normally the scale shot compares humans and their buildings to the monster, but in this one the monster is dwarfed by its own devastation, and I just think that's beautiful on so many levels.

Which keyart you get is based on which name you chose in Jade Shadows!

[partikron]

I know it's gonna be a rather short quest, but I'm super pumped for Jade Shadows: Constellations. New Warframes, new railjack content...

And Vena....

Look, don't judge me, ok?

Mesa Heirloom in-game plus a look at being able to randomize one channel at a time! Coming July 11

[partikron]

I'm gonna fashion frame the HELL out of Mesa Heirloom. Total gooner skin, but I see a lot of potential for artistic fun.

[brloche]

I. Am. Done. Thank. You.

[partikron]

I am being EXTREMELY normal about Vena....

Follie

[partikron]

A whole bunch of insecure men suddenly finding out they like bigger girls is the funniest part of Follie's release.

Happy Easter! 🐰

Almost forgot but thanks as always to warframe for providing me with Follie and other swag as part of Day One Access!

[partikron]

Y'all, I think this is DE's best work yet.

[royalprat-art]

Happy Follie Day!!

My new favorite Warframe.

[partikron]

Diving back into Warframe after more than a decade away has been an absolutely bonkers experience.

This game is free, and yet I've dumped the better part of 100 hours into it and more than a few times I've been thoroughly crushed by cinematic and emotional storytelling.

It's good to be back.

Lune looks so good in this dress, I had to draw it

Unkindness

Close-ups / Description under cut

Godzilla was born in fire and pain, never knowing any semblance of true compassion. He can’t understand why Mothra would choose to help him, nor does he see any reason to be anything but cruel to the world that scarred him. No matter what, he won’t let the world forget him. He won’t be the only one suffering.

Some close-ups. I chose to depict Mothra as more hazey and dreamlike, showing the disconnect between the two, and how Godzilla views her words as idealistic and unattainable. He brings her down to his level in the second piece, trying to force her to accept that his rage and pain is what’s true.

"Despair"

[partikron]

I don't usually care for nostalgia, but playing the Soul Reaver remasters has me swimming in a sea of it.

Raziel's journey was the first I experienced as a young gamer that really pulled me in, thrilled me, moved me even, and seeing that Soul Reaver 1 opening once again, traversing the ruined world of Nosgoth and immersing myself in that world over 20 years after the last proper entry in the series...well damn, y'all...that made me feel like that old nerdy teenager locked in his room and living this game for the first time.

I couldn't be happier.

Everyone else on the Wukong side of Tumblr: horny for the monkey.

Me, an intellectual:

[partikron]

It warms my heart to see the dozens of lore videos for Black Myth: Wukong and Journey to the West showing up in my YouTube feed lately.

For many people this will just be a game, but for a sizable portion of the Western audience, Black Myth is a window onto a mythology, culture and religious landscape that they might have had, at best, a passing familiarity with. Sales of Journey to the West have already increased, and aspects of the mythology and the religious backdrop of the game are becoming topics of conversation when they might otherwise never have come up.

Perhaps the most exciting part for me is that many of the people posting these videos are Chinese, and so not only the story, but also the language and cultural context that birthed the game can be represented in a meaningful and informed way, and I dunno, that just tickles me, I guess.

Sure, some of the Western fanbase for the game is toxic, loving the game for not being "too woke", gamer and game development culture still remains a boys club that treats women poorly, and y'all can fight forever about what the devs did or did not say if you want to, but all of that can be true and it can still be a win for an aspect, however small, of another culture suddenly becoming popular and familiarizing those who interact with it with aspects of the cultural zeitgeist of another nation.

A small win, maybe. But a win is a win, and I think it's worth being excited about.
