thewarsmithsforge said: I’m a 5foot4 Swede. I feel your pain. The id thing applies too.

ohgod... when i was in Dresden everyone was like 6ft tall. everyone thought i was Karl's tiny chinese servant. maybe it's the way we dress too. Mia, you're supposed to tower over us azns, hahaha.

sigishooter said: I know this feel. I’m 5’3 forever and 23 with the face and physique of a 15 year old boy. My fav is when ppl ask what grade I’m in and I say I’ve been in college for five years

shit, artbro is slightly taller than me. lmfaoooo wait til you graduate, it'll be more hilarious. i still can't believe i'm 27, i feel so old but no one acknowledges it. when i wear a jacket and tie my hair i get mistaken for a boy too but that's because i'm just ugly in general so no one can really tell. u look 10000000000000 better than i do, ok.

teripops said: You will live forever because your organs are preserved with coffee grounds and ash which are natural organ exfoliators. I just bring money instead of ID too. AND OKAY BRO. I AM 4’8. You appreciate being 5 something, that is my DREAM.

spookylapin said: i will eventually face your fate because i am trapped at 4.10ft ;v; assuming i shrink like a little old lady in the future i will be SO SMALL

JFC there are people who are shorter than 5ft?? i thought i could only shove two of my irl friends into a locker but now i can shove tumbro and desertbro into lockers too. i hope i get to meet you guys in person someday, nerds.

thewarsmithsforge said: Not to beat my own drum but Vaterland and Germania by Night are fantasy in modern setting. Magic is the key component in it as is supernatural. 40k is a far future setting rife with fantastical elements. And horror. Medieval fantasy is dull tbh.

haha, i know. the thing is.. after approving all my character designs. the senior artists said i should draw more fantasy elements for this project and avoid modern settings if possible. due to hella lack of time, my refs were Skyrim, Borderlands 2 and Alan Wake (for the clothes and environments), i'm basically just looking around mixing and matching stuff for weapons and clothes now. CHAOS itself is like your story, but with minimum supernatural elements classified as paranormal. 40k is a great ref for me though. 

schemilix said: What I find baffling is WHY all fantasy is like that. The fantasy i write is at LEAST neo-victorian, often cyber-level.

fantasy can be anything, but anguiculus brought up a good point about the level of magic in it. i know there are other types of fantasy but i was tasked to take the medieval route because i draw too many machines in my spare time. my own story is a mix of both, just like yours but set in 2030 with our world cultures. if i struggle with it, it just means i have lots more to learn about, drawing battles is kinda fun actually. it shows me how much i suck at creating fluid poses.

thewarsmithsforge said: I have thought of leaving dA too, but I have yet to find a better platform for writing. Tumblr blows ass in that regard. EDF2 has a 1700+ page thread on TomP… it is glorious. And sad. And odd.

aww, i can't really give any feedback on those writing platforms, i'm not good at writing tbh. i've seen people keep a seperate blog for their writing though, a handy place to store info too. i wish writers get more credit for their work. yeah, each website has it's pros and cons. i guess it's fine as long as you don't run into any unsavoury characters on DA.. looking at my main page today and seeing some idiot asking about tulpas (to make their imaginary headmate jfc) isn't really convincing me to move back. 

holy shit, for serious though?? i'd imagine they would talk about his 'life' and art. i went to his page today. same shit, bad refresher for me (even after THREE YEARS OF LEAVING, it's still the same). then we went out for coffee and praised the heavens that we're not him. if anything, he can still be an example to future artists, an example of not what to become. i'll check out that forum, have some entertainment material to read for dinner lmao.

carbines said: I call my ocs woobie, shitbag, dork, dumbass, wife material (eventho they’re like manly men)

fuqdapoleez said: the most fun part of OCs is throwing them around the place and slapping them and calling them names. some people i swear

some people don't get the humor, i thought most artists with OCs would do that because it's hilarious ok

-

thewarsmithsforge said: I’ll just drop here that I’ve never had so much fun as when I research 1950s psychiatry for Germania by Night. So much horror to inflict on characters. I may be a sadist… An OC sadist.

that sounds awesome, it's amazing how much you can learn.. it's like a journey and a gift that keeps giving. and yes, sadism to OCs is classic too. there's one girl i know who killed off her OCs for no reason because she said "WHAT'S THE POINT IF NO ONE CARES ABOUT MY BABIES". that one shouldn't be a parent. nope.

haveyouseenmydearbrother said: how dare u not refer to them as the stupendously crafted fictional beings they are and instead find humor even as you develop serious things occasionally. reserch is only 4 school, and u cant possbly have fun resarching thingsd. gosh.

i'm sorreh sobrina. some ppl don't liek teh humor they think it's detrimental to how BADASS a character can b. they live through their characters ok so don't take their escapist dreams away don't ever call your OC names and everyone must know every detail and love them

-

sigishooter said: oh my god what good is an oc if you can’t call them things like shitbag i mean really

BEST. i admire artists who have a sense of humor pls

thewarsmithsforge said: They operate on the Jante Law, always. I always liked how you deglamorized the advertisement and art business.

that's pretty interesting, i looked it up and it's a more concise version of the sheep mentality, perhaps more disciplined. thx for info :D well, i've had a few interns from the agency and other places who all think it's glamourous, when they asked me how it was, i always reply with "you're gonna need valium". because i do. a man who i've looked up to for three years, Linds Redding, had the same mindset as well. he's one of the many examples of people wrecked by the industry, but he was good at what he does. not everyone is in it for the fame, some just need the money and fuck off at 6 sharp (which i'm trying to do more so i can study).

teripops said: Sad thing is, there’d probably be asshats that didn’t believe you were a scientist or a programmer either. I kind of see you as all that plus an architect of worlds. Mad props, you work hard! They should try doing half of what you do, they’d crack!

haha, well. i provide photos of stuff from my life, like i said... i would have to be really dedicated to pull off a hoax like this. for now, i'm a designer studying stuff i like, like Spanish and chemistry, plus programming. that's it. thank you, i'm glad that you work hard as well and you have all my support in everything you do. i have really high tolerance for staying up late and working even if my hands ache or shake. it took a toll on my health but the only thing i fear is burning out. people like them would not pass the first step, that's for certain. lazy people never prosper.

interfering-speedwagon said:I think you’ll need to update your wardrobe if you want to work with Sycamore. At least Birch doesn’t mind if you look like a hobo…

thewarsmithsforge said:I’m glad to hear you are on top of life and are having a great break, enjoying yourself. We’ve finally had snow in mid-Sweden.

diffusus said:ooh what are you trying to breed? i’ve been casual breeding (as in just hatching a few eggs a day before going to bed wow what a loser routine) but i finally got my 5IV larvesta a few days ago *_* take your time with everything!

teripops said:At least you’ve finally racked up some sweet-ass free time, that’s a good thing. Enjoy your glorious hobo-ing, such hobo times are so rare~

HOYEAH fellow bluffy XD i hope life will give you a break soon cos i know the classes can be a bitch, my chem class is ok but wow programming and spanish are murderers. i will savor the remaining days in hobo heaven, thank you so much

thewarsmithsforge replied to your post: Whoever the fuck rigged those votes to go to a...

And I thought that was racist lies spread by right-wingers… The more you know. Hack a plane and redirect it to Hong Kong.

The thing that amused and disappointed me were the number of people who got offended at my post, oh wow. Wake up call time: I'm Chinese, dumbfucks. Their own racist mindsets try to paint me as a racist when those morons have never read the news or went outside throughout their pathetic judgmental lives. Educate yourselves.

They don't understand that the very reason I avoid a country is not because of the people but because of the very mindsets of the people, they're not developed yet and going to China was a fucking eyesore for me. I saw people who defecated wherever and whenever they pleased. For me, a person who has lived in a third world country, it shocked me like no other moment. That moment you get so shocked you just mouth out a WHAT THE FUCK. WHAT. I got elbowed and almost spat on in Shanghai. They tell women to scram at restaurants if they want their seats. Tourists from mainland China who visit my country act like philistine shitheads. To them, people are objects.

If they are blind to the abomination that is China, they should get off their fat fuck asses and read up on the news once in a while. Atrocities are not considered atrocities, the people have been desensitized by the will to survive on a petty dime. Imagine knocking a child over by a van, she's not dead, and they run over her again to make sure she is so they can avoid the fucking medical bills. I have the bloody right to scorn these under-developed mindsets. I'm not a number, I'm not an uncivilized bottom feeder and that's why I feel nothing but anger when people think I'm racist just because I despise the brutality of a country.

One piece of advice to these social justice morons: Wake the fuck up.
