Wretched Creature.

I'm gonna be real. I love detailed worldbuilding as a bonus thing, but the surface level shit has to be different and weird enough first before I can give a shit at all.

Rain world's lore pearls and deep background stuff is definitely something that keeps me interested, but I would care less if the basic premise of the world wasn't, when diluted, a weird fucking creature in a world of weird fucking creatures where the rain is so heavy it kills you, and even if it had never explained any of that it still would have been cool as fuck. In fact, most casual players DON'T get explanation or understand why basically anything happening for much of their playtime because it's deliberately obtuse about it, because it trusts that just existing in the world is interesting enough.

In the best of both worlds we can have both weird cool shit and stuff that explains it, but a lot of people think they can have a boring world as long as they put sooo much effort into explaining the economy and the crops and whatever else, and I'm sorry but unless your surface level world is interesting I actually don't give a shit at all. If I want to look into the details a mundane world it's actually just more interesting to read about real life history.

(Also, if I can read a paragraph about the way wheat grows and is harvested and made into bread and it works almost exactly the same way as your fantasy not-bread crop called daerb, then you haven't done any world building —you've just plagiarised wikipedia.)

A cоmmission for @cawsket. Thank you for trusting me with this!

This piece took forever but I am very happy with how it turned out!

A Nausicaan Tusk Opera Singer named Yochk, I had a lot of fun making the character!

The design of the planet in the background was from the Star Trek Role Playing Game, it was the only depiction of the Planet Nausicaa I was happy with. Lovely to paint.

There's some stuff in arcane s2 that's bad, like, on a critical analysis level, but there's also some stuff that happens that's just plain weird. Like, did you notice any time someone disappears in s2, nobody goes looking for them? Jayce, Ekko and Heimerdinger go missing and nobody ever mentions it. Same for Mel. It makes it seem like they were only gone for two seconds, but they were definitely gone long enough to notice.

Wizard man... With the wizard plan... Take my wizard hand... Lead me to wizard land...

Not a joke

All I want for arcane s2 is for Mel Jayce and Viktor to be in the same room together and talk

Hylic the Speed Demon!

Anthro gourmand!
