i love this game

I kind of hate drawing Nerif. It's not like drawing Ish'kafel or Harbinger, where the design is so alien you can make it extremely detailed or inorganic without it feeling inherently wrong. Because any design for Oracle that strays even a step too far from the original does feel inherently wrong, but at the same time, the outfit and motifs are incredibly fun to play with!

I mean, I've experienced this before—tugging at the world and its heroes like a rogue Weaver—it is the very basis for my fanart project, after all. But this concept specifically, it just breaks me.

One must imagine my surprise upon doing so, because in the last few months I was doing some custom hero/game tests centered on Weaver using a fairly similar ability…

…loosely codenamed Threads of Fate.

Not the first time something like this happens, of course, but I’m surprised (and somewhat amused) these coincidences still happen to me.

Anyway, don’t be surprised if I seem a little inactive. Other activities, projects, and research (along with the duties and needs of a human) all eat up a lot of my day and don’t leave much time for illustration. I have been writing notes on the new Impdom NPCs and species guides, but there’s not much in the way of visual references yet.

Also, I have picked up embroidery as a little side thing. It’s fun, even though I’m not quite sure about posting it here. Feels a little personal, and my camera skills are not up to my standards. We’ll see.

y’all

Y’ALL.
