The Anatomy of a Carbuncle

I am a scientist

[marikafoxtail]

It seemed to take me forever to finally finish this. In fact, originally there was only the first part of the picture - I wanted to draw something cute and positive.... and I can't really say at what point it went wrong. 😅

her scales are messed up, and end up regrowing unevenly upon getting damaged. and so, as she gets old, one of the eyes is becoming a problem…

I rather like this paintover enough to post, yes yes

I wanted to sit down and paint my girl proper. Tumblr doesn’t do it justice, please click here for full view. Painting her really felt like a bonding experience, I can’t wait to build her up. Tentatively named Eres.

Three months ago at around 1AM, while deeply stressed due to life transitions, I found myself thinking about Fray and how they always have a deep sense of our inner workings and turmoil, and how out of everyone they were amongst the first to both try to sweep us away from our discomfort and to force us to face it. Here it is, a little comfort project that took me out of my comfort zone (ha) when I was going through a lot of stress and quite frankly, just wanted a touch of tenderness.

this game is so funny because ARR is like This Whole Mess Is The Empire's Fault then you learn more and it goes This Whole Mess Is Actually The Allagans' Fault then it's like, well, actually, technically, it's All The Ascians' Fault, and THEN you get to shadowbringers and ALL THREE of these problems turn out to be literally just That One Guy who is so mad he lost his job 12 thousand years ago that he recreated his office at the bottom of the sea on another planet.

And then later you find out That One Guy only lost his job because his new hire coworker didn't believe in peer review and made it LITERALLY everyone else's problem.

Ul'dah headcanons

Ul'dah has a immense amount of wealth (and a lot of income disparity, yes I know) and is a massive city but I just never personally felt that reflected in game. Anyway, here are some small headcanons and little lore bits I play around with to help with some needed worldbuilding. Please feel free to yoink these, build on them etc, don't need to credit just have fun. (All images used can be found on this Pinterest board I keep updated here and there.)

Coffee is the main drink of choice in Ul'dah. It is one of their biggest exports. You can find both small and large coffeehouses throughout the massive city. (Depicitions above of Ottaman coffeehouses.) Coffee is served as is shown above. ( Called a Cezve or Ibrik, both words mean the same thing) Here is a video of one of the methods used to make coffee

I like birds, so did you know the Ottoman empire made these lovely stone homes for the birds? Now you do. Ul'dah also a lot of them. How nice.

Baklava, Lamb, Turkish delight (or Lokum) are just a taste of the cuisine Ul'dah offers!

Ul'dah has public bathhouses, some Turkish bathhouses above to fuel some ideas!

Some snapshots of around Ul'dah. If you want an idea of where to research more ideas for yourself as well, Ul'dah already takes influence from Turkey and the Ottoman empire. Those are great places to start.

(I may update this as I go but this is just the general ideas I keep in mind when I write Ul'dah.)

August Mercer: A Character Sheet

This has been going around again in some parts of the internet as well as in my FC’s discord. So, I decided to fill it out and share it with all of you.
