deadly ginger time bomb

art historian who likes to push paint around in their spare time ✧ AO3: aurillium ✧ asks open in: english ⋆ french ⋆ italian ✧ header by @tinygigas

[subzeroparade]

if you enjoy my work (and other talented artists who toil in soulsborne) please consider supporting our custom Bloodborne tarot deck launching May 20th!

This blog is: 99% my hedonistic Soulsborne posting (mostly ER and BB), with occasional OCs (mostly GW2).

I am: Lolo (they/them). Art historian by trade, based in France. I arrange words as a profession and paint, sloppily but gleefully, as a hobby. 

AO3: I post as aurillium, Bloodborne and Elden Ring exclusively. I write significantly better than I draw.  Art: Art is tagged by fandom, and I have a sporadically updated pseudo-portfolio. You can use my work as a pfp/header with credit but please don’t repost or tag my work as your OCs. No AI bullshit and no fandom drama, thx.

Some more things I've been asked under the cut ->

Do you offer commissions? Not at the moment, but I sometimes doodle requests left in my inbox if they’re clever enough to make me laugh.

Do you beta/edit fic? I'm happy to give blanket advice, but otherwise no.

What’s your art process? Illogical and unintuitive but I try to have fun.

What’s your writing process? All my ideas come while musing in the shower, so I run out, soaking wet, to write down what my brain has dictated :)  If you have a writing question, please see the process posts tagged under #writing and/or #ask. if you ask me "but how do I write" I will kindly tell you to start by picking up a book.

Can I ask about [x]: Ask away - lore or otherwise - and sorry I may take ages to answer because I like to embellish my replies with doodles or wips. 

Go ahead and yell in the tags.

assorted sketches and practice from the past few weeks with Kotschei (GW2) as my muse. the only part of his design that has changed over the past 12 years whether i feel like tying up his hair.

I’ll be at Japan Expo again this Thursday only (sadly without cosplay for logistical reasons) but if you’ve got a booth let me know, I have a big merch budget this year *◡*

The Cleric Beast as the Ten of Augurs

I wanted to do something a little different with this card, since the rest of my work is generally quite painterly.

Only a few more days left to back us, and this design is available on a t-shirt!

(Eauxi, his co-commander and fellow Claw Island vet, is too proud to be cringe in front of a Firstborn).

wip wednesday

[subzeroparade]

I am cautiously optimistic about the GW3 announcement because 1) ORR and 2) it should allow GW2 to preserve its current trajectory and player base. Pre-Cataclysm Orr has been something I've wanted to see since base game days (I'm surely not the only one) and this particular period of audience-aware pre-apocalyptic "everyone is fine nothing bad ever happens and no doubt we have a bright future ahead :)" is my narrative bread and butter. I'm only a tiny bit salty about no sylvari, though mostly curious if there'll be a similar alternative.

And obviously as someone with two Orrian (diaspora) OCs, I am extra invested in the lore potential, especially as they have wildly differing opinions on Orr's legacy and the role of the Six in human societies.
