I need you to stop what you're doing. Stop playing your games, stop reading your books, stop listening to your music. I need all of you, please, to go and help the Palestinians. Now and in the future. I need you to help them because they need help, help to survive under the horrific conditions Israel has created for us. I'm writing this because I feel for them.
Please, do something for those who need it, today.
I have been through, without a doubt, very difficult years. I have faced hardships that none of you have ever faced. Bombs, bullets, the destruction of my home, famine—I faced it all bravely and survived Please please help me.
Hi My name is Ibrahim, a young man from the Gaza Strip. I'm li… Ibrahim Family needs your support for Donate to help ibrahim and his family
Please help my friend Ibrahim! He is in dire straits and needs all the help he can get.
We make fun of steampunk and mock it but imagine if there really were marvelous devices
funniest thing to ever happen was when my boyfriend put on the first episode of columbo (which i'd never seen) but he wouldn't tell me what show it was he would only say "you'll get it when he shows up." but a fun fact about the first episode of columbo is that he doesn't show up for 32 minutes and when he does, he silently walks into the room with a cigar and does a little pose and goes "hi i'm columbo."
Keep it moving, people! And prepare yourselves for an exciting, laughter-filled career in interstellar smug–shipping.

Malta: Keep it moving people, we’re trying to do work here, just keep moving.
Gar: Gar on the comm, this is Gar. Pick up Malta.
Malta: Uhh, this is Malta. Go ahead.
Gar: Malta! Oh, what’s with all these people everywhere today?
Malta: Ah, uh, Hondo is hiring new flight crews. No experience necessary.
Gar: No experience necessary? Yeah, I got no experience! Why doesn’t he put me on a flight crew?
Malta: *sighs* How do I put this gently? Uh, I don’t think you’re flight crew material, Gar.
Gar: I mean, come on! I literally just saw an eight-year-old walk by.
Malta: Uh, trust me! Gar, you don’t want this job! Actually, I bet you're—danger! You’d faint before leaving the hanger!
Gar: Ohhh, okay, yeah, good point, yeah.
Gar?: Keep it moving, people! Trying to do work here! Keep moving!
Hondo: Haha. Hilarious my friend! My employees love to joke while they work! Haha. It’s just another benefit of working for Ohnaka Transport Solutions, am I right?
Simultaneously: Malta: Uhh, I guess so.
Gar: Absolutely!
Hondo: Yes, I’m right. So, please uh, keep moving forward! And prepare yourself for an exciting career in the laughter-filled world of interstellar smug- shipping!
Let's have a character sheet for our Quartermaster: Sahkyō!
First, her overall appearance.
Sahkyō was the last member of the Riptides that I designed, when thinking up her concept I knew I wanted a hybrid humanoid. Many hybrids would've caused, let's say spacing and posing issues, when interacting with other characters as I was workshopping them. Then the idea of a half-snake half-human intrigued me. I went through several iterations for her design, trying out many different faces and tail colors. Then I got an anon asking if I had any fat characters, and realized my characters were all thin. So, in addition to changing Artelia's weight, I decided to make Sahkyō fat. Inspiring her look from a Tsuchinoko, I wanted not just her humanoid half to be fat but also her snake tail.
Keeping her tsuchinoko inspo in mind, I decided to make her Blasian. This face model can't fully close her mouth for some reason, which bugged me at first, but it fits since she has large fangs.
Sahkyō has a multitude of textures on her face that make her her. Between her scales, makeup, and jewelry Sahkyō takes a lot of time to render. But she is gorgeous and beauty is suffering or however the saying goes. Her facial features are pretty human, only her ears and fangs would suggest otherwise (ignoring her eye colors). Sahkyō is a straightforward person, so she'll not only visibly express herself but say what she's thinking right to your face.
For her outfit, I wanted to show off her scales, her belly, and her tattoos, while still matching the main aesthetic. I gave her a tube top for belly pride. As I developed her personality and backstory, a "Rich Girl" vibe emanated from her. I added jewelry and gold to her to wardrobe to accentuate her golden scales. These gold chains? strands? I'm not sure what to call 'em tbh, but they look so good on her. Sahkyō wears more armor than most mages as she specializes in defensive magic. Without pockets, she'd probably need a bigger bag than that, but it's a video game so it's fine.
At first when picking her hair, I wanted Bantu knots but I couldn't color them the way I wanted to (long story) so I gave her combed over dreadlocks with an undercut to give her that two colored hair. This is actually the same hair as Artelia, just styled differently, such is the versatility of Black hairstyles. With her hair styled like this, we can see more of her scales and tattoos as well as her pointy ears.
To distinguish Sahkyō's magic use from Eve, I gave her a staff. I've talked about magic and how it operates in Tears of Xivo a lil bit in other posts. Virtually everything living thing has magic to some degree, whether it's being inherently magical by nature or being able to project and manipulate magical forces. In regards to the latter, casting magic safely requires a focus of some kind to filter it out of the body. The focus, in this case her staff, is held by the dominant hand and released through whatever the caster needs, usually their non dominant hand but it can come other parts of the body or the focus itself. What someone uses as a focus is largely based on preference, but there are some things that are better suited for different tasks. Sahkyō uses a lot of shields, barriers, wards etc, so she has to throw or fling her magic, using her staff like a lacrosse stick kinda. The staff itself is pretty cool but I don't have much to say about it, there's no significant lore behind it.
Her tail has many "bones" in it. Bones in 3D modeling refers to a section in a thing that can be bent, twisted, and pushed/pulled. The more bones, the more articulation a thing has. Her tail can go in a lot of different ways but I mostly focus on her "standing" with it, we haven't had much chance to see her lounging or sitting yet. Now, I wonder if her tail is cool to the touch or if it's warm, is Sahkyō cold or warm-blooded? I don't know, is there another option? I'm not gonna get lost in fantasy biology right now. Her thick tail is very strong, if she smacked you with it you'd be flat on your back.
Overall, Sahkyō was a bit of a challenge to make, but I love how she came out. She is a stalwart member of the Riptides, and will see you have what you need to get through anything. Watch her slither into your heart in Tears of Xivo.

I love the Dragapult line for all the obvious reasons but I also love the potential discussions throughout their design process
“So there’s this cool amphibian called Diplocaulus.”
“Awesome, could be a fun Dragon type.”
“Yeah. It went extinct 252-million years ago during The Great Dying.”
“Right on, I’ll put together some rough drafts. Another fossil perhaps? Dragon/Rock?”
“I think Dragon/Ghost would lend itself to a more unique design. Their tails are wispy, like ghosts. And I want them to be evocative of a Northrop B-2 Spirit stealth bomber being catapulted off an aircraft carrier.”
“Got it. I’m sorry. What was that last part?”
After attacking Iran, Israel has closed all crossings into Gaza, shutting off humanitarian aid and escalating the dire humanitarian crisis facing Palestinians.
Gaza is under siege, and the price of staples has climbed tremendously. Community kitchens have been forced to close due to lack of supplies, and have been unable to afford to replenish their stocks.
Gaza Soup Kitchen is a grassroots organization that uses money from global donors to feed thousands of people every day. Their most recent campaign was to provide food parcels for Ramadan, and they are going to struggle to keep people fed in the midst of this new, horrifying war.
If you are able to, consider donating money to Gaza Soup Kitchen through their GoFundMe or GiveButter accounts to help stave off hunger in the midst of this chaos.
