I've surveyed the political scene and in my expert judgment the voters hunger for candidates who are sniveling little weasels who don't believe in anything

[cherrypicking scenes to define genre the way people do with Ghibli movies] The Godfather is "cozy."

no they do that actually

Fun for everyone, a detailed discussion of the potential origins and use of getting war elephants drunk before battle.

all at once a queer accident happened

NEVERLAND. TREASURE PLANET. Only known world where the geriatric spice pixie can be harvested, the substance that makes interplanetary flight possible. The pirates led by Capt. Hook hold the planet in pseudo-fiefdom. But the natives believe a voice from the outer world will come. They call him PAN.

Here's the thing as much as I joke about moby dick I do think everyone should read it because it is a fantastically written book

this fellow has broken loose from somewhere; he’s talking about something and somebody we don’t know

sequel to The Thing that's just Kurt Russell and Keith David fist fighting for ninety minutes. you never find out if either of them is the thing

dismasted man never entirely loses the feeling of his old spar, but it will be still pricking him at times

December 25th. The day the Fellowship departs Rivendell to destroy the One Ring. Whatever you celebrate, may you have the courage to take the first steps to defy and endure against the dark, and rekindle light into the world.

All visible objects, man, are but as pasteboard masks.

Imagine having this as a possible starting point to work with and ending up with... that.

I kinda wanna do a collab with artists where we all pick one character from the Iliad and/or Odyssey with set proportions and then we do a group shot, print it out, roll it, dip it in Greek olive oil and shove it up Nolan's ass.

The Ghost Story, Alfred Bestall, 1930 #Christmasghoststories

Btw in this climate of companies sucking ass and using a garbage machine to replace the most creative part of gamr design, remember to support the ones that DON'T like @trenchcrusade.bsky.social and @anim-ttrpgs.bsky.social

the Gods in Color exhibition as an example, you'll notice in the multiple reconstructions of Paris that each one has differences in patterns and colors because of evolving research, and inevitably the simplest, most effective and cheapest way to get this

Redesigning Skyrim part 5: Markarth This is my vision of Markarth. Ever since the first time Nords and Reachmen occupied the abandoned Nchuand-Zel, they made use of everything they found, like making helmets out of bells and gambesons out of tapestries. #skyrim #armor #redesign

With out a doubt one of the stranger and more obscure (but not exclusive! These are depicted on a few vases) helmet crests. A rare and exotic variety limited to the Archaic period. Further information: collections.louvre.fr/en/ark:/5335...

Sniff.

Brünnhilde!

Imagine having to explain Warframe to him

Realized it’s been a while since I posted my Bronze Age Fellowship of the Ring so here the lads are again

I will send you to hell.

That's a very original idea. I don't believe it has ever existed before. It is an idea that ought to go out of existence. Immediately.

I squeezed that sperm till a strange sort of insanity came over me

Would that I could keep squeezing that sperm for ever!

Next time on Ten Candles.

huge news: a shadowy swordmaster has carried a lone infant from a burning temple

I see you're hurt. Good.

also always deeply funny that every sci-fi video game from 1999-2014 was trying to be Aliens, and copied everything except the...working class woman protagonist

How soldiers identify friend from foe in the Gottesreich. Hopefully this explains why the dudes I draw often have little symbols, badges, heraldry or insignia on them somewhere.

An Urazadi hunter shows off his prize- a horned marmot, a much-coveted source of pelts, meat, and honour on the high plateau. Held in high regard among the clans for its bravery, and frequently used as symbol and totem

Revisiting one of my old settings recently. Here are the Ocos, a species of weird owlish dinosaur people. #specevo #specvio

"A mountain walked or stumbled." Wanted to finally do an interpretation of Cthulhu from H.P. Lovecraft's The Call of Cthulhu!

The Battle of Waterloo, 1815. Wait a minute, why are they wearing equipment from 101 years later? Something to look out for when admiring manuscripts from the middle ages is that they often depict events from history with the arms and armour of the current day (Pretend I painted this in 1916 lol)

Siren Alligators might be the most specialized human predators. These pack hunters have two distinct ways of mimicking our species. Juveniles thrash in the water near ships, using their face-like throat markings to appear like a drowning person. The pack attacks when someone attempts a rescue.
