Celestial Beginnings

Nothing but void, darkness moved across the great expanse. Within the void there was nothing, yet there was something. A spark, brings forth heavenly existence; where there was once nothing I a moment something has emerged. Dust swirls, clouds form masses. Chunks of ice hover, collide, spin out of control only to be tempered by the control of a greater mass nearby. Chaos, turns to order, turns to a system, turns to an orbit around a single point. Now, turning silent yet saying, giving, telling so much as birth came from a void. What once held nothing brought forth something...

Artist Spotlight: Hunny!

@hunnyhime

★ Ko-fi ★ Tumblr ★ PIXIV ★ Twitter

An NB filipino artist who is trying their best to stay afloat with their love for over the top fashion, surreal aesthetics and big chunky samurai armour. Aside from SMITE, I fall back into the Sekiro, Samurai Warriors/Warriors Orochi and Death Mark fandoms. A goal of mine is to post my doll repainting work online, another is to buy or sculpt a ball-jointed doll of my very own.

Who are your favourite god/s? Which gods do you dislike the most?

Favourites: Nuwa, Chronos, Janus, Izanami / Least favourite: N/A Favorite / Least favorite game mode (and why)?

Favourite: Assault (The randomized god gimmick lessens my anxiety and I have a lot of pleasant moments and successes while playing that, it was my go-to gamemode) / Least: Probably Arena (It gave me too many anxious memories that outweigh the good ones, and stressed me out more than necessary) Tell us (briefly!) about your favourite Smite moment.

I joined a group call with a party of other players because they enjoyed my Scylla plays, server maintenance was coming soon and we counted it down. While waiting for it to be over, we all chilled in the login screens as we talked and joked around - I remember us joking about one guy's burrito lunch and teasing another's disgust for the word 'moist'. We waited for the full duration to be over before playing some more. It was a sweet moment that only online friendships can offer.

Artist Spotlight: Magic Sheep!

Hi! I'm Magic Sheep, I play Smite casually with friends more often then I want to admit. I've always been a fan of mythology so having it encompassed in a game is awesome.

When I'm not playing Smite I try to level up my illustration skills by drawing video game themed arts and generic cute stuff.

Other games that hold a special place in my heart are: Shadow of the Colossus, Witcher (3), Final Fantasy, Persona and Zelda.

Who are your favourite god/s? Which gods do you dislike the most?

Faves: Nox, Scylla, Khepri, Amaterasu  Least Fave to Play: Assassins. Yes, All of them. Favorite / Least favorite game mode (and why)?

Fave: Joust - it's a smaller time commitment and I mainly play with two other buddies.  Least: Clash - 30 plus minutes of calling 'enemy missing in x Lane'. It's ok. Tell us (briefly!) about your favourite Smite moment.

Having the enemy team message to say good game after they lost and having positive discussion about the game after. Rare! ; U ;

My name is Jackie, I'm 25, I like to do the art

What’s your in-game nickname & server region?

Jackie Lantern Who are your favourite god/s? Which gods do you dislike the most?

Favorite gods are Loki and Skadi. Least favorite to play against are Bellona and Hercules Favorite / Least favorite game mode (and why)?  

Favorite game mode is Joust because thats where I started playing. It's a bit more self-reliant but also less team mates means a closer knit cooperation. It's not as long as Conquest and Clash, but not as short as Arena. I find it to be the mode I can just relax but give it my all. Least favorite game mode is conquest simply because ...I'm a big chicken. Tell us (briefly!) about your favourite Smite moment.
