Mortarion of the Goat Emperor - The Patron saint of Agri worlds

Some simply silly icongraphy for the beastmen cults, and let's be honest, all the aspects of things tied to mortarion are common on Agri worlds...

[pauliusthemad-blog]

Sanginius of the Goat Emperor

More simple iconography for the primarchs for in universe cults. Quite happy with this one

Damned Legionary, fun little model for painting competition we did today, fire was the theme!

The Starchild of The Goat Emperor - Epilogue: The Rogue Divine Vessel

The plan originally was to make this picture part of the last comic, however it proved a bit too big, indeed this one drawing was among one of the works that took me longest to make in months, still happy it's finished and happy to give the story a proper Epilogue, as our lady Starchild vanishes into the bowls of the imperium, inquisitor powers to her name and few reliable allies to her side...

It's however hard to see if she gonna fix imperium as it stands, however as the lore of sensei states...perhaps to save humanity in the grimdark future one has to let imperium die and humanity learn...

Including all the parts in order now, and sitting down to contemplate on what is the next project to work on...perhaps I shall try to see what other primiarchs I can add to the Goat Emperor iconographies...After that, who knows.

Konrad Curze of Goat Emperor, Patron Saint of Adeptus Arbites Another of the series of iconography for in universe cult of Goat Emperor

The Capture of The Star-Child and the Ultimate Fate of Xenophobia...

After a long time, I am finally wrapping up the comic as I planned it, the Inquisition catches our Star-Child of Goat-Emperor, and she would vanish from the world, but who knows, maybe Sensei will catch up to her, maybe she will fight to freedom or perhaps after some talk…the Inquisition will be a tool for good for once, rather than pain in the ass.

Blood-Mace the Sigmar-Bound - Defector daemon of Order

Small for fun sketch of the implied concept that some daemons of chaos defected from chaos forces and instead joined forces of order in Age of Sigmar, no models, nor true lore exists, however there are few mentions of them existing, thus I decided to draw one up for the fun of it.

That video of Alex Hirsch reading S&P notes for Gravity Falls conveys a few things to me:

1) the U.S. entertainment industry (especially animation) is run by older conservative types who make up offensive terms and get really mad about them.

2) the people who run Disney would be the first to fall in line with a fascist regime.

3) most of the media we consume is tailor-made and watered-down to appeal to the tastes of older, deeply religious conservative audiences.

4) conservatism, not the left, is and always has been the biggest voice of censorship in American culture.

J. Michael Straczynski, creator of Babylon 5, was before that a producer and writer for a number of cartoons in the late ‘80s/early ‘90s (The Real Ghostbusters and the original She-Ra, most notably). After a few years of dealing with the censors and their obsession with finding Satanism (or at least looking for Satanism to further political agendas) he wrote an article about the whole corrupt and bullshit system.

And published it in Penthouse, to force those same censors to buy a skin mag. The editor there asked, why Penthouse?

That one is from his autobiography, Becoming Superman. See also:

(As he goes on to say, he’s never worked in animation again–he’s effectively been blacklisted by the cartoon industry.)

Every time something like this comes up, I remember two stories about making media. The first is about movies, and comes from Quentin “Feet Man” Tarantino.

When he was making Pulp Fiction, he was worried that the MPAA would object to the high level of violence in the film, so he shot a bunch of extra-gory stuff that he didn’t actually want in the film, and added it in before submitting it to the MPAA. Predictibly, they asked him to cut most of it (without even commenting on some of the things that had him worried, like the bits of Marvin’s skull that lodge in Samuel L. Jackson’s hairpiece). The resultant cuts were actually more permissive than he’d expected, so he cut a little more and submitted it, and it got passed with an R.

The second story is about that artist on Morrowind whose name escapes me (I’m not a big ES fan tbh) who figured out that if he made two creature designs, one weird and what he wanted, and one even weirder, he could get Todd Howard to agree to just about anything by showing him the whopper first, then going back and “working” for another few hours on a second, “toned-down” version, and it worked every time.

The reason I bring these up is that the thing that drives censors isn’t some extant physical rubrick of what is and isn’t acceptable, it’s the idea that they can have absolute power over someone else’s creative work. It’s about the social dominance of the interaction.

There is nothing so innocent, so clean, that a censor will not find some fault with it. Because they must find something wrong with it to justify their existence, and because it makes them feel powerful.

This is true of all censorship.

They might be discrete events, but the second one sounds awfully similar to the design process for Darth Maul
