Separated from humanity as a child, Ignis is raised by havocfangs in the wilds of the Vesperpool. Noctis is the son of the head of Meldacio, an outpost at the ends of civilization, and the only human friend Ignis has ever known. When they find each other again, Ignis tries to find the balance of being an animal of the wilds he grew up in and being the human he needs to be to stay with Noctis.

When I set out to complete today’s prompt, I was torn between several different outfits to put Ignis in. So obviously, my answer was to just put him in all of them haha. I personally think everyone’s favorite strategist would make a mighty fine SeeD candidate!

DINOSAURS OVER THE YEARS

This is a series of posters I made to show how our perception of Dinosaurs and other animals of the mesozoic changed over the years. These and few more are featured in a Youtube video you can watch HERE

this art is available for prints, t-shirts and other goods HERE

Obvs our understanding of dinosaurs has changed as we got to learn more about them and got better techniques for reconstructing fossils and shit but!!! I wonder just how much of the ‘dinosaurs are animals’ comes from people growing up with them? 

like. if you look at the 1800s reconstructions, they’re mean! They’re big scary monsters. they look like they came right out of a medieval bestiary. but no one really knew what a dinosaur was in the 1800s; they were New and Exciting, so much so that they got a whole exhibit at the Crystal Palace if I remember right.

but by the 2010s literally everyone who studies dinosaurs has just … grown up with them? they’re a thing that’s existed in the world that you can learn Cool Facts about that died a long time ago. they’re part of the background noise of earth from the time you’re, like, three years old.
