I know this is going to make me sound pretensions but I have to get it off my chest. I feel an unimaginable rage when someone posts a photo and is like "this picture looks like a renaissance painting lol" when the photo clearly has the lighting, colors and composition of a baroque or romantic painting. There are differences in these styles and those differences are important and labeling every "classical" looking painting as renaissance is annoying and upsetting to me. And anytime I come across one of those posts I have to put down my phone and go take a walk because they make me so mad

i actually wanted to elaborate on this and say that i think itโs a really bad habit of a lot of artists, influenced by current media casting practices, to unconsciously or consciously make every single character they create super pretty, like everyone is just hot in that very boring, homogenous way, and this also comes as a result of people using actors and celebrities as character references or faceclaims and AI facial generation programs like Artbreeder being trained on people who are generally very pretty-looking. it results in alienating, uncanny worlds and drawings completely devoid of people who just look like regular people. it results worlds populated by mannequins fresh off the CW. I feel like whether a character is attractive or not should actually matter, be part of their character, because that kind of thing absolutely affects the way you move through the world and the way the world treats you.
so i wanted to throw in some suggestions that, whenever Iโm trying to find a character reference or otherwise draw very interesting-looking yet regular-looking people, which i usually have to do for bit characters in @ikroahโ or something, I tend to look for references in the following places. these are far from the only reliable way to get inspiration, this is just a non-exhaustive list of places iโve looked before for visual inspiration when needing to create a character, whether starring characters or background ones:
pre-2000s television (The Sopranos and Twin Peaks especially having incredible character design)
extras in comedy sketch shows
esports players
real photos (not staged stock photos) of line cooks
70s baseball players
athletes from more obscure olympic sports like the javelin toss or greco-roman wrestling, especially if youโre looking for a specific body type
ska, jazz, and blues musicians
firefighters
improv troupes
for teenagers, searching โhigh school english class projectโ on youtube and sorting by Upload Date
state senators, small-town mayors, and generally obscure local government positions like comptroller or treasurer (yes i know politicians can be bad sometimes but smaller elections especially donโt really depend on looks)
people who walk by your window (if you live in a city like I do)
and again these are just, in my opinion, deep and easy wells to dive in if you want to get a good idea of what regular people look like. these suggestions arenโt the limits on where you can possibly find inspiration for character design
Yes!!! Thereโs an entire book called Felliniโs Faces thatโs nothing but portraits of his actors thatโs phenomenal for this kind of thing, though itโs fairly rare to get a hold of today.
*dusting off this fucking account for the nth time* So,,,,not that anyone ever looks here but how does the love and deepspace fandom feel about giving the love interests moms??? *Holding sylus mom oc*

So uhm. Hi. I rarely ever do make fanart, much more post art anymore since I have a job now that drains me dry but this game has just somehow managed to rekindle my motivations for continuing pieces even up to this extent. I also mostly never draw men cause I like drawing women way more but every single love interest in Love and Deepspace makes me want to pick up my pen and put out my own renditions of them.
Anway have this rendition of my MC as some kind of angelic offshoot together with Sylus' Abyssal Sovereign form. I love it when there's the forbidden pining.

I think it was a smart move to rerun Originium Dust right before Babel, because some of the Team Rainbow musings, particularly Ash's, suddenly became more poignant with the reveals about Originium.
Throughout the events, OpRecs and module stories, R6 operators often note that Terran history is very similar, yet different from what they know. And now we know why: basically, Originium is a humongous flash card that contains information from the previous civilization. Doctor can't infect themselves, because, for their race, being a flash card is all Originium is: even if you swallow it, you aren't going to catch the computer virus it contains. But it turned out that Terra is more like a HDD that started copying information from Originium and got corrupted in the process. This led to Oripathy and many mix-and-matches we see in the story: the Elders/the Ancients, animals, cultures and countries are all being influenced by the information contained in the Originium. Even the Teekaz, the indigenous life forms who used to be outright monstrous, started evolving into more human-like beings.
So yes, R6 guys basically witness exactly that. Ten thousand years ago the first Elders and Ancients came into conflict with the Teekaz, and over the millennia Terra became the weird kitchen sink of Earth-like concepts applied to a different planet we see in present day.
