No topic, just a dump for stuff

because I was bored and my tumblr blog is filled with random stuff.

Sandman is a new obsession of mine, so to the few people who‘ll see this: here you go have a playlist.

With songs.

That reminded me of Morpheus.

But I don’t know how accurate this is, because I made the playlist just for fun.

Enjoy🥂

Just wanted to add the Artbreeder pictures as stand-alone post.

They could be extremely off to the way other people picture the characters or how they have been described in the books. It‘s been a while since I read them myself, but I tried my best.

Also: the Goyl don‘t really look like they‘re made of stone.

Nerron

Kami‘en

Hentzau

I‘ll link the pictures I used below each mood board.

Creating/editing the pictures, especially the portraits for the Goyls, was a bit difficult. I never really used Artbreeder before and recreating or changing something up to look like stone wasn‘t really something I got right. Hentzau looks almost completely human and I needed a long time until the skin on Nerron or Kami‘en had the right color. I wasn’t really sure how to change Hentzau‘s skin, since he‘s described as ´brown jaspisˋ in the book but my reference pictures of the gem itself showed more of a lighter brown. I tried my best to make the skin look cracked through the use of various images of men with scarred faces, but the scars faded a bit out in the later processes. I also had to edit the eyes in another app, where I removed the iris to hint at the blindness/bad eyesight he‘s supposed to have. I think the one that looks the closest to a statue/to be made out of stone is Kami‘en, but that one also had a ´greek statue ´- looking base…

this one scene with the trunk reminded me of that one video with the small boy and the knife

I thought it might be interesting to share some pictures of how it looks.

I havent started reading it yet because I literally just bought it but even then I won't be posting any spoilers, so you're save.

The light in my room may be altering the colors of the book cover.

The text is in German.

Otherwise, here are some details from the front cover.

The map inside of the book^

And the first page with name of the book, author, title and an illustration.

I'm not gonna post anything else about the book for now, until it's out (I think it was November 2nd in Germany).

Thanks for reading :)
