You could still use Black! See with these visual design flourishes you can basically step away from the shitty drabby look of SS officers. with more secondary colors / reds, golds. Its pretty common colors scheme.

Modern German officer outfits are more bluish than black

I was curious I wanted to see to prove your point. I wonder where they got the inspiration from. What part of the design process didn't someone go. "Hey this kind of looks fashy?"

We have the internet to look up reference images for our art or research. Its an important part of being normal...

I go on my walks nowadays to clear my head adore this time of year.

the bright drifting sun as it slowly sinks beneath the treeline.

I walk outside and feel the cool chill on my face. I cant help but smile at the winds kiss.

Today will be another blissful walk through the garden of the world.

Average Darktide games are my favorite. Almost everyone starts talking like ogryn like ogryn

I adore darktide's combat but man it feels like I need to get through it in short bits or my ADHD overwhelms me.

Picture of two people leftside of the picture is John 117 a Spartan a brave warrior devoted to saving humanity and fighting against genocidal army of fascist religious zealots. Whose beliefs will lead all living species including themselves to extiniction The other side is a fascist religious zealot with a MAGA hat, which has two captions that read : whose beliefs will lead all living species including themselves to extiniction. And a subtitle equating themselves to being like Spartan 117 as "Yoooo dude that's literally me!"

Huh what?! I just said like the most obvious thing ;.;

Halo is like my love interest, I adore halo and seeing misused for AI BS is annoying... and now being pushed by a government that is just using it for imagery is bs.

Oh... Oh no. I mean I tried a bot out once just to see how it worked out, and saw it worked almost exactly as creepily as i thought it would. Yikes. #aisucks #dystopian #news

In a 2025 report from Common Sense Media, 72% of teens had used an AI companion, and a third of teen users said they had chosen to discuss important or serious matters with AI companions instead of real people."

Heres the quote:
A picture of a quote from a Character called Douglas Anders : Science fiction is an existential metaphor that allows us to tell stories about the human condition. Isaac Asimov once said, "Individual science fiction stories may seem as trivial as ever to the blinded critics and philosophers of today, but the core of science fiction, its essence, has become crucial to our salvation, if we are to be saved at all."

I think the Fae / Fairies in stories are always getting a bad wrap or no representation in media. Fae people are so interesting because of the variety of forms they can take. One of the most figures in myth is Morgan Le Fay, or Morgan the Fairy or the Queen of Fairies. Or Nimue or Ladies of the Lake

Made this joke of a character for DND. He was a half-orc / half-elf. The son of a Wandering Swordmaster, his brother a Dark Elf whom sold his soul what amounted to jelly beans. The two had such an interesting dynamic in a campaign, of the idiot savant, and the crazed necromancer. Miss em, i miss dnd

So I am really happy with my maps now for my world. IDK if I can use them for my book though cause I always have this feeling that I am just doing digitally designed art won't look as good as the professional maps I keep seeing :/

Whelp... I didn't expect to 100% it... I rarely complete an entire game and 100% it without it feeling like a chore. And actually have all the achievements... Thanks for making achievements actually achievable by the average person or at least a sort of motivated person.

The Majestic and wonderful Song bird the Kookaburra. I was greeted every day when I woke up by one of their calls. Everytime I hear one I am reminded of my home.

I adore these birds, and almost all the wildlife of Australia. Marsupials and all the cool birds there are like... so awesome.

I made a cool corvette in NMS. Probably my favorite version so far, I am going to edit it soon, but the idea is a frontload starship. Essentially an Interceptor / Assault Class Corvette. IDK I am having a blast designing them. Gives me ideas of my story.

Its such an incredible feeling, especially now with all the QOL they keep putting into it. And also speaking of that their corvette system is so cool.

Did some creating in Tiny Glade. I use it often as a thinking tool and calming tool between design challenges. Just a little creative outlet while I am working and editing my book.

This will be a future location probably set in Aleris in the Ashen Seer Books.

Did some Tiny Glading.

ITs very zen. Idk why I keep doing this type of stuff but it really helps me visualize places my characters are going to. This I believe I had labeled as one of the cities in Book 2.

Sooooo. someone asked... what is my next book project? WELL its this. The Ashen Seer series is a Hardy Boy / Gotrek and Felix type of series. Following an Elven Mage, who are exploring the world in search of what destroyed it. A Post Apocalyptic story. It is a story I want to share
The Ashen Seer Series follows an eccentric Elf named Meradia, a Tuathian, a Child of Ash, she is what is known as an Ashen Seer. She collects junk, both magical and not. Collecting such objects of little importance from rocks, to soil, to a tea set she fancied to many objects of pertinent power. She is a powerful mage, and one of the few surviviors of the First Tuathian. Her journey takes her across nation, city, country, and fallen kingdoms. They are basically written like a travel guide, her recollections and memoirs. She is joined by her foolish brother, a Stag Knight and her guardians, who are always two steps behind her. Her personal entourage is an insane shapeshifting Fairy who acts as her servant, and her Nightmare Phoenix, who acts as her protector and guardian. They travel the globe, in search of the artifacts. That will hopefully encover the mystery to what has destroyed the world.

Found this post and it perfectly describes me. I am going to be posting some stuff to clear up some revision for my manuscript. Can't believe I have FINISHED a novel and I want to share it with everyone... but I am embarrassed and how limited my grammatical ability is.
