"Im mixed on photos, thay keep making me look like some vagabond after your shoes" "maybe a bigger smile..."

-------------------------------------

Found my camera, reckoned i might as well post a drawing i did some time ago. was trying some stuff with the outfit at the time, hence some oddities.

[uooj601]

No audio, animation test. its pretty rough, though itle do for the first stage of a "Style test" and to get some idea for how things might work for any future stuff. probably play with the textures next. -also observation- Mechs with external magazine fed guns implies the ability to reload with a fresh mag in battle using the other hand, likely with extra mags attached to the legs within arms reach. However if your mech has both arms dedicated to weapons, so no hands, or the hand was destroyed in battle, then reloading may require some form of assistance, either from a ground crew or another mech equipped with a hand. Sounds obvious but it would significantly effect what weapons you may field and your in operation logistics, possibly designating a "Caddy Mech" whose role in a group is just to ensure everyone else is loaded, though this may be more akin to a Baggage train that follows in a mech units wake. eh i find it amusing to ponder

Hero appreciation questions again! Let's talk about housing! Does your hero have a permanent place to return to? Maybe they've bought or inherited a house, or have a room in the inn or someone else's home that's just for them? Where do they usually lay their head, or spend their downtime? How would they maintain or decorate their space- clean and neat, cluttered and chaotic? How do they view the space- as just a place to sleep and dump their things, or as a meaningful home? Do they prefer to live somewhere quiet and out of the way, or do they like to be in town near others? Who, if anyone, would have a spare key to their space?

[uooj601]

Pizza has a house, hes had several... well technically, ok hes had Sheds, mostly staying at inns, other peoples homes, yard sheds if nothing else, Whenever he sets up in a location for an extended period he will claim a corner to dump His Stuff dividing it into 3 portions, Boots, Bounty, Brains -Boots, Kit organized in a near militant fashion, Weapons cleaned, Armor/Coat layed out and ready for the next day -Bounty, organized as money and not money -Brains, Pizza has taken to making notes even setting up a poster board to ensure he remembers whats going on, whos doing what, keep the details from getting jumbled up, you can tell roughly how long Pizza has been somewere by how legible the poster board is,

theres even a couple of sheds out there he hasent got around to cleaning up, leaving a small wall of sticky notes and a desk setup for making paper cartridges, Purchasing his first Real house shortly before Xan rocked Falconreach... which he completely forgave Xan for and is not even alittle bitter... trust Later purchasing some ruins near Falconreach intending to make a nice little bro fort, even fixed up the place before realizing he has no idea how to decorate... so mostly used it for storage, In earlier days stashing anything that could Possibly be useful hoarding every kind of weapon for later, around the end of book1 committing to clean up, giving away weapons to arm the town, even giving Kain a spare key, Since defrosting Pizza found the town had near cleaned out his remaining armory, Now his little fort resembles a more developed shed, with some chairs and a table, dragon bed, training props, some Books and work bench for weaving and gun maintenance, and a wall made of sticky notes relating to current events and Everything he can find about the Shadowscythe and "Iron titans" there are many strings and several photos, visitors out not be overly concerned at seeing there photo in it every table like surface has beverage cup rings on it, keeps buying new coasters, Nettle and Linus keep stealing them Nettle is dragon Prince Linus reputation proceeds him and requires no introduction

Linus reads the gun books more then Pizza dose, The only book Nettle has bothered to read is The Heart of War by Sun Leets Coddarb, it is a comic Pizza has paper clipped many notes in its pages

[high-voltage-rat]

Hero Appreciation time again! Let's talk about when they take a hit. Is your hero the type to address a wound as soon as possible, or do they keep doing what they're doing and deal with it when they're finished? Would they hide an injury from their comrades on the battlefield? When someone tries to treat them, are they a receptive and appreciative patient, are they stubborn and difficult, do they maybe insist on doing it themself? Is their pain tolerance high or low, and how do they act when they're in pain? Likewise, how do they respond to getting sick? Have they had any injuries or illnesses that changed them as a person? Do they have any significant scars?

[high-voltage-rat]

Hero appreciation time once more, with a shout-out to @uooj601 for inspiration. Thinking musically today, what kind of music would your hero's theme be? Would it be a hard, powerful kind of thing to emphasize their role as a dominant force in combat or an impulsive personality? Would it be a more wistful and slow thing to highlight their personal tragedies or a thoughtful mind? Maybe it would be something light and slightly whimsical to channel their sense of humour or the weirdness of their life? Do you have any particular real-world music you think really channels their vibe? Would they maybe have a combat theme and a regular theme that differ in tone?

Contrastingly, is there a certain type of music your hero would listen to in particular? What are their tastes?

[uooj601]

Really wanted to get to this sooner but... stuff... anyhow =D Pizza's theme would be funny mix between Folk music and Rock, beginning as a medieval balled with hints of more modern instruments developing into rock, returning to just classical instruments for a soft end For as old fashioned as his ideals are, his heart insists its young as ever

To many songs i can think of but heres a few that just Fit very well, These are very "Vibe" based I like the idea that the Helping Hand of DragonFable is Very fireside acoustic (replace every If with When, you will understand), The avenging Red Fist of MechQuest is Rock, Both grounded in a Ballad about duty old as time, His music swings between those points based on the events, Side note, i reckon the difference between MQ and DF Pizza's personality is the difference between Still Unbroken (DF) and Free Bird (most of MQ)

as for taste almost anything with Good guitar regardless of time, In DF Sea Shanties! and a good cowboy Banjo by the fire always sparks joy, More modern like MQ, Rock and lots of it, Screaming Pirate metal for studying, Classic Rock for jamming, a rock for every occasion, Now and then he'd jam to something softer... but only with headphones because no one can know that he listens to hipster music

Theme list 1 Agincourt 2 Gundam wing - Airport cover 3 Hey Brother 4 Still Unbroken 5 The Challenger 6 In my defense your honor, Free Bird was playing 7 Im just gonna sneak Bedlams last breath in here... because it Fits, rather well indeed

[crouton-knight]

I'm sorry, but I don't think about anything except Dragonfable these days. So, share a Dragonfable opinion if you want.

It's okay! Even if I didn't know what that was, I'd ask about it and look it up; wouldn't that be a way to start a friendship?

Anyway my DragonFable opinion of the day is that technically speaking, majority of the Land of Dragons is an empire in just as much capacity as the Shapeless Empire and should be described as such.

More below the cut because I have a LOT to say, including footnotes!

The seat of royal authority is in Swordhaven, and the map puts Swordhaven as the capital of Greenguard, but their rule clearly expands far beyond into the neighboring areas of Oaklore¹, Maguswood², the Elemental Foothills (notably Dragesvard and Lymcrest), Braughlmurk, and even into Doomwood and the Sandsea, as seen when the Proclamations targeted³ these areas.

Given that large areas of Doomwood were originally known as Darkovia and had their own system of government in the exiled Queen Safiria⁴, the renaming of Darkovia to Doomwood- the Greenguard naming style- suggests that it was conquered by Greenguard at some point, probably during Safiria's absence; a point I think is heavily emphasized by both the vampiric nobility gathering under her banner upon her return, and the ongoing hostilities between Amityvale and Moonridge with the vampiric court.

More egregious is the situation of the Sandsea; the Sandsea also had an independent ruler in book 1's Sek-Duat, but in book 2 when the ateala arrived long after Sek-Duat was deposed, rather than discussing with a local government, King Alteon offered them sanctuary "in his lands" and that's seen as good enough authorization, meaning that the Sandsea is now under his rule.

And finally, Dragesvard ALSO had several independent rulers: Queen Aisha of the ice elves and ice dragons, King Linus of the Killguins, Huntmaster Frrwl of the Ursice Tribe, and G'joob of the Tuskers, all of whom were neutral or hostile to the human settlement of Dragesvard and all of whom were either ousted from their land or allied with Dragesvard through various mean.

Even more recently, as of book 3, it's stated that one of the major reasons the Rose came into such power was their hand in the conflicts in Kaer Sierra with Archdruid Yalla.

Pretty much the only major regions in the Land of Dragons continent not formally recognized as ruled by Swordhaven or with a major Swordhaven-aligned settlement are Ovungu Zoyo, Kaer Sierra⁵, Fairgrove⁶ and Sho'nuff Island- and Sho'nuff is in the active process of being colonized, as seen by the pirates (who are already not a native population⁷) giving way for merchants and tourists from Greenguard.

So yeah, that's Emperor Alden or Empress Victoria for you!

¹ The Pactagonal Knights have Oaklore Keep dedicated to the King

² Except Ravenloss and Falconreach, a point of much contention in Book 3 especially when disaster strikes

³ The attack wasn't on purpose, but the fact of the matter is that the Proclamations were already set to target those areas, which means the Shapeless Empire recognizes them as under Swordhaven's rule

⁴ She was basically in exile until she's released from the Forest of Infinite Terror, and while we don't know who put her there, I have some guesses as to who they were affiliated with

⁵ This is even crazier because the Shapeless Empire also has a presence there, in Outpost Yeden.

⁶ Explicitly neutral territory, according to Elysia

⁷ The ninjas might also not be a native population, tbh, but given that we don't see anything like their culture anywhere else, it's still possible that they are the actual native population of Sho'Nuff.

[uooj601]

Another thought is the Guardians, i kinda think Why Falconreach is even independent considering how it appears (at least from what i gather) to be on a major trade rout, thus being a rogue tactically important fortified micro state within his realm, Thay do have a mayor but Alteon probably considered Falconreach to be the Guardians realm, especially now that thay are *technically* the last real post of there order, even if there are guardians in some other tower Falconreach guards the last orb, thus could be considered there last legitimate holding, the guardians have been a strong, respected but waning order for a long time, he would be just the kind of man to respect there order and boarders bacon orb or not, Jaania strikes me as someone who would give less credence to a notion based so heavily in the *Bro Code*, especially considering she *might*? not know about the bacon orb... or maybe i just forgot something or need to catch up in story XD

[high-voltage-rat]

Hero appreciation question again because I'm obsessed with these actually! How did your df Hero change after their time in the ice? Has it impacted their ability to trust others, their level of patience or impulsivity, their confidence and self-esteem? Were they conscious at any point in the ice, and if so, what did they think about? Did anyone besides their dragon try to get them out? How did their relationships change as a result of everything that happened?

[uooj601]

Pizza largely blames himself for getting frozen, also Jaania... just abit he dose not regret heeding the words of a friend to rescue her, he dose however feel very very silly for not trying to find out Who Jaania actually was, instead thay all brought her into a war and promptly left her to brood all day, On occasion Pizza dares ponder if anything would be different if he'd shared one lunch with her... could'v been interesting at least,

At the start of book1 Pizza was allot more straight forward and thought about conflict on a very personal scale, sure he fought for others and was aided in tern but at the end of the day it was always His war, his to Fight and Win His way this attitude shifted through book1 but never completely left, During book2 he felt Irritatingly mortal and the occasional sense of dejavu became a near constant sensation, When Pizza was put on ice in his core was cemented this sense of mortality... so since thawing he makes a conscious decision to be far more weary of words, to avoid being tricked but also for its own sake, To listen to peoples silly things, the things he would normally care little for, intent to make the most of every moment spent with those around him, Sometimes even permitting something genuine to slip through his normal deluge of swagger and sarcasm, And in some ways thawing has been reassuring, if the sky didnt fall on everyone without him then perhaps theres hope for them yet and maybe he neednt bare its weight alone. still a tad peeved about getting fridged though... and never turning his back on a brooding teenager again! the Pizza has been iced once and no one wants double defrosted pizza, that sounds gross,

When Pizza was on ice a few people had a crack at it, A crew of Gnomes led by Airheart that he'd helped find Resettlement and employment considered a few ideas, Heat ray! (discarded for fear it would just cook him inside the ice) Repurposed chickencow rotisserie! (couldnt get a bonfire permit from Sir Curity) Heat blanket? (local animal kept stealing them, and no one volunteered to wrestle the lizard to get them back) The gnomes stopped after the Rose instituted a minimum height requirement for poking the ice cube,

Alz ein stopped by a couple times she considers Pizza a rather odd shrub but fun to be around, even if he had kept mispronouncing "Atealan" as "Atelean" she moved the popsicle a couple times to give Pizza a change of scenery (Oaklore Keep had a good scare when the ice cube vanished for a week without notice)

Tomix couldnt find the ice cube,

Aegis feared that to much magical habidashery might cause unforeseen problems dew to Pizzas lack of wizardry aptitude, so opted for a slow defrost and spent his efforts ensuring that both body and mind remained intact in the meantime an unseen warden of the frozen goods,

Captain Rhubarb visited once, poured some root bear on the ice and went home, like a hero

While in frozen slumber Pizza dreamed of conversations with friends that never happened, of dieing alone, victory and duties left unfulfilled undercut with the laughter of a damned titan normal stuff like that...

Pizza also uses the time on ice as an excuse to feign madness on a semi regular basis, and for weeks after thawing pretended every person he met was the 1st person he'd seen since thawing, "What year is it! when did everyone start hating flowers? and why are the Coins different!?" he claims such behavior to be a tactical decision to gather information and lull potential adversaries into a false sense of security... also he thinks its funny... mostly the latter...

[high-voltage-rat]

Hero appreciation time: is your hero a more aggressive or defensive fighter? Does their dragon match this energy, or do they take the opposite role (and does this vary between young and titanized forms)? Do they channel any particular emotions when they fight, or do they try to remain calm? Do they integrate skills or principles from any of their classes into the others?

[uooj601]

Pizza always wants to be aggressive but has learned overconfidence to be a slow and insidious killer so in triumph, time and failure he learned patience... begrudgingly, His tactics involve switching between caution and burning aggression on a dime, aiming to destabilize an opponent before striking with full force

Story wise he has a limited mana capacity and not being raised learning weaving he usually prefers more basic weaves, things he can perform quickly or while moving, and generally things to augment physical combat such as weaving physical weapons a shield and Speed, Pizza finds weaving a wonderfully versatile thing and the arm blade particularly fun and mana efficient!

Mana shouldnt be wasted and Blades arnt the optimal solution for every problem so he equips for the occasion, Smoke bombs, grenades, pistols maybe a shot gun, the only constants are a sword and weavers gauntlet,

One more thing on mentality one must make a distinction between a Duel and Fight, a Duel has things like rules and fair play so he will stick to weaving or a sword, anything else would be cheating and behavior unfit for a hero or a man

a Fight however has one rule, win if you wanted to fight a gentleman then you should'v asked

thing ben playing with, would like a 2nd opinion

This has been one of those projects that i play with from time to time, though its been long enough that ide like to get the opinion of a fresh pair of eyes

This being my base reference

using This head,

maybe ile make another after this ones finished, any opinions would be appreciated

[seiji-the-ice-drake]

Don't know much about modeling nor what kind of opinions you're looking for, but might I suggest possibly combing both head types into one? Like have the overall head resemble the skull one but with the mask of the other head on top in some form?

[uooj601]

funny enough i did make both head versions, hadnt seriously considered combining them though, thats probably the coolist thing so far also had a go at a rough open animation XD -not sure how to make the vid appear here so uh google dock link

A Friendly Fight - Xanta gift for uooj601

When Danielle arrived at the Falconreach Park by the river, she was happy to see her friend already there, leaning back against a tree, his single Soulweaver gauntlet’s twin gems gleaning in the sunlight. When he saw her he rose with a grin and called, “Red! It’s been a while!”

Danielle smiled sheepishly. “Sorry, Piz. The business at Dragesvard took longer than I expected. We could spar twice this month to make up for it?” 

“No worries!” Pizza said breezily, rising to his feet. “This isn’t some world-saving quest, we’re here for fun.”

“Right,” she murmured. It was starting to be hard to remember nowadays, with the ongoing race for the Elemental Orbs and everything, but her and Pizza’s monthly sparring sessions were meant to be simple fun. She shook her head, as though to shake off all her worries, lifted her DragonLord shield and resumed a fighting stance. “Ready?” she called, excitement ringing in her voice. 

Pizza tapped his Soulweaver gauntlet, and the blade sprung out, shining like the gems which powered it. “Let’s go!” he cried, and charged at her. 

Danielle sidestepped the attack, summoning an Energy Dragon Spirit to strike back. Pizza huffed and, with incredible agility, seemed to run in a circle around her for a moment before hitting her from an unexpected angle. 

They were both setting up combos, Danielle realized, and grinned. She sprouted her Dragon Wings, flying at her opponent and slashing one, two, three, four times, and when she landed her auburn hair was tousled and her heart sang with joy and thrill. 

Pizza staggered from her attack, regained his footing and jumped towards her, hit, behind her, up, forward, down, hit, hit, hit, leaving her slightly out of breath and very grateful for her draconic armor. 

She infused her blade with a Fire Dragon Spirit and stabbed forward, sending the Spirit flying towards him; he paid her back with a magical swarm flying in her face. 

Their final attacks met in the middle - Pizza with a spectral katana, Danielle with her blade acting as a Dragon’s Claw. The burst of energy that followed sent them both flying, rolling in the grass as they fell to the ground. 

Danielle couldn’t remember when last she’d laughed like this, with all her heart. 

She turned her head a little to look at Pizza, and found his blue hair messy and his eyes unusually sad; he had the same look in his eyes when they’d first met - on the frontline defending Falconreach from Sepulchure’s undead attack. She had been new to hero-ing then, fresh out of her home village in the forests of Oaklore, and he had seemed like a seasoned and capable fighter. 

“You alright?” Danielle asked, smiling awkwardly to hide the chill that ran down her spine; for a second, the older Soulweaver almost seemed sad. 

In a blink, it was gone, and he was his normal self again. “Yeah,” he said, “just had a lot of fun with you today, Red.” 

Danielle relaxed and softened. “Me too, Piz.”

* Shipping in this instance means whatever you want; romantic, sexual, queerplatonic- if you count them as partners in some way then it probably applies lmao.

[uooj601]

Through out book2 Pizza just thinks Alz is the cool alien lady with a very big sword additionally just a little scary...

However the word "Romance" is beyond his mental lexicon so all he can think to do is... duel Alz at every opportunity, duels in witch Pizza dosent use any weaver magic or guns or anything fancy,

because that would be ungentlemanly,

Tho All Alz sees is this crazy guy who Normally on top of swords uses Guns, Weaving , Grenades and every unfair advantage he can find in battle, And uses some of that even in duels, Except for when he spares with Her Using only a sword and dagger

im not sure weather Alz would consider this really funny or insulting...

[uooj601]

Never has there been a friendlier door mech man, ben playing abit with a mech model in between other stuff, havent gotten around to finishing it but its at the point were sometimes i just play with it,

[uooj601]

Knights persistence

Ive ben playing with drawing more lately, what was initially a means to test some pencils became this chap! figured ide put it up in case anyone wants to see,

[uooj601]

Abit of a "Sketch Dump" of sorts

Not DF related but reckoned ide put up some misk drawings if anyones interested

The Axe Man, Flint Vagabond, Villain, Hero and Teacher for hire, the only constant his obsession for personal strength and a hatred of weakness, most of all ones own

Mr Thorn Justice swift and steady hand, Was once blasted by a cascade of wild magic, fortunately the only obvious effect was being cursed with long locks of a rich Pink, He Detests Pink

Ms Shawn Buck, An odd druid, known to fill a shot gun with seeds and plant them at terminal velocity...

An outlaw, some say he was the greatest Gunslinger of a century until he met a fey whom had sworn to "steal his thunder" Now thay say he stalks the land, intent to master another weapon, so that he may challenge that fey and Reclaim his thunder

All we know is hes called The Hat

And lastly one of Pizza before i solidified his design and added the cyborg hand
