I don't have a pic of the cat today, but he's fine.

This faction was actually born recently as the result of a misunderstanding between myself and Ramshackle Studios UK. By the time I understood that, I had already put a lot of time into this scene so we decided they could be like a 'cousin' species.

Numerous and organised, with well-defined roles and hierarchy. While they are generally unified in their goals and are largely unprone to political disagreements or infights, they are not a true hivemind. Rather their particular mechanical nature facilitates more rigid thinking.

Miyazaki cares not for such nonsense.

Life in much of Leopor is chaotic, with poor infrastructure for many, particularly outside the capital. Within it is the nation's concentration of wealth, evident in ornate, gilded architecture, lavish dress code, and minimum required bank balance for residency.
#RPGGame #TabletopGames #BoardGames

The accumulation of profit is their singular purpose. Everything is for sale in Leopor, from Daucan sprouts to Whisperstone massages, swords for hire, alley love, and dapper old men, willing to be your dad so you can marry into a wealthy family.

As natural herbivores, they are not especially deadly fighters, but their instinctive understanding of economics and market behaviours allow them to leverage wealth (both their own and that of others), to truly formidable effect.

I think Miyazaki is wondering how an Ijo tastes. He loves eating spiders.

#Ragdoll #CatsofBlueSky

Its prey, the Thassik, is a bipedal reptile, towering up to 10 metres high, with exceptional strength & endurance, & scales that deflect most attacks. The Ijo Hunter requires machine like precision in their aim to strike the weak points around the Thassik's eyes.

Adaptable predators, they excel in stealth, tracking, trapping, mimicry & behaviour prediction. They value independence, privacy, patience, & intelligence following a philosophy vaguely analogous to Zen, if it was hunt-centric.

These fierce and deadly hunters have evolved an exceptionally specialised internal organ, capable of recycling bodily fluids ad infinitum. As such, they do not need to drink and are able to survive on the minimal water derived from their sun parched prey.

Ultimately, this shot will be used in our trailer to represent to world building element of Boundless Nations.

And a picture of Miyazaki. He's soft.

#cat #miyazaki #ragdoll

And here's a poorly lit video of Miyazaki, because animating takes ages and I don't have all day to make the videos of him look high end. There's a darling picture as well.

#Miyazaki #Ragdoll

Animating the trains has been the biggest pain, as you can see in the in screen recording.
