It looks a bit like watercolor doesn't it? I think I may use some variation of this style for the rat quest I've been thinking of running for some time. >>327613 >>323826

Nobles nobbing about, plotting, politicking, backstabbing, trolling the peasantry,and perhaps even romancing in a pseudo-Victorian atmosphere.


Or I may run something a little less thought out and closer to earth, arena fighters and getten tactical. Perhaps even running through character builds like M&Ms depending on how brutal things get.

Some answers to puzzles we just passed.

Q: The Tower, was it avoidable?

A: The 'lighthouses' are akin to open plasma reactors made of pulp SCIENCE! and arcane wizardry. Throwing a stick of dynamite into the stream soon after if blew the floor out from under Fields would have caused a backlash to temporarily extinguish the Tower, the cables/chains would have held long enough for Clara and White to retreat over to their origional side.

However, they will pull, not going to kill anyone over not guessing how to disrupt a giant disinterested deathbeam.

Q: The Mummies and the Panels what's up with that?

A: The panels would have been able to open the door, turned on lights, a fountain ,activate holographic maps, and raise or drop the mummies all at the press of a few buttons. However, you also could have alerted security, flooded the room or any number of inconveniences.

The statue served as a 'manual override' for the doors, and the mummies would not have even been an inconvenience had Fields not opened and looted as many caskets as he could.

There was also some treasure and a trap hidden behind door 'b'.

The Feuerfeld linage traces its way back to a group of Swiss Pikesmen and Knights whose primary duty was the protection of a a certain castle in which a circle of sages sought to unlock and replicate what they claimed were the secrets of immortality.

However, a local witchhunt, combined with the aid of the Landsknecht and the growing irrelevance of training in the face ball and musket drove out the sages, alchemists occultists leaving their now jobless protectors to pick up the pieces. Fortunately they left behind some very interesting and profitable pieces.

Now with their own equipment and the Age of Exploration in full swing the Feuerfeld's dedicated themselves to the acts of acquiring even more power, of both the monetary and otherworldly kinds.

Elias Merchadel Feurfeld is the last of this line, his father having been a noteworthy archeologist and explorer, his mother of minor Austrian nobility. He tagged along on many of his fathers adventures until an unfortunate fall broke his leg and he was forced to stay at home for the next trip.

A trip his father never returned from. That was 3 years ago, and Elias, now 19 is desperately trying to hold together a nearly depleted relic trading empire as well as somehow justify or throw a heroic light on the manner of living he has inherited. It was both pursuits that brought him to one of the few remaining acquisitions of his family, the Seven Hills Silver Mine and the ruins underneath it.

Since apparently I am going to be drawing lots of Vehrimen (ie: 'not-burmicians') in my new quest I should probably practice some faces.

For 'furries' they are ridiculously hard to emote satisfactorily (although their hands and feet are so much easier.) I think it's the whole "can't see the mouths thing."

You seriously underestimate the emotiveness of the eyes + ears combination, I think.

Admittedly you draw eyes much smaller than I do. But I think you can still pull it off.

I can't believe I screwed this pic up when I posted it in the quest. I forgot to erase the coloring from Lucidia's sleeve when I moved her left hand. This is the pic more as it should have been.

I thought I was past that kind of derp. Then again, drawing this frame was herp after derp as I initially drew out a much livelier looking scene on the white background, only to realize as I finished inking that I had no layer underneath to color and had to trace the whole damn thing over again.

In other news in my most recent posts I've finally taken to just typing my post out in Word before copy-pasting just to keep all my tags and syntax right

The Happenstance Repeater is an Air Compression Weapon firing roughly 8 rounded slugs in quick succession, one at a time, or all at once (using the forward trigger.) Reload is a bitch however, as the greased projectiles have a tendency to slide forward out of the barrels if the weapon is pointed downward too long.

Artandin Artisans and subsidiaries of the Artandan family manufacture and equip the AAA-Nueluck(R) as a 'Needle Hunting Instrument' and thus not banned under the 'Injunction Act against Subtle and Devious Manufacture". However, The Dragon Thanes have attempted several times to outlaw it's nearly silent revolver design citing the understandable popularity with assassins.

The Empyl Dress Lance, as well as the Silver Serpent Wheel-lock are only two of the myriad designs incorporating the use of handcrafted caseless rocket rounds, the favored weapon of Verhimen marksmen due to the widely customizable load of each shell. Of course the undeniable stylism and intimidation effect of a battlefield full of screaming, piping or sparking projectiles when making war on 'less industrious peoples' is perhaps another design choice.

The Behebaluth Fire-lance is a positively ancestral weapon to the Verhimen people, they possess no records of describing ranged warefare in which such a weapon was not known or used. Stick Grenades of various types, the most popular being Incendiary or merely Directionally Explosive, are mounted in the head of this weapon and triggered from the haft. Beyond this most basic similarity the design varies wildly, with some being more akin to long maces, and others resembling more halberds.

Feeling pseudo-medieval. However, most of the Verhimen city-states are a bit more Renaissance given that they regularly use rifles. The real thing holding them back from the industrial revolution proper is a severe lack of fossil fuels (aside from peat.)

They have electricity but most of that is water powered. Fortunately the climate is temperate rainforest or wetlands.

Species: Tentatively Labeled "Hobgoblin."

Morphologically Humanoid w/ standard male female dimorphism (ie: height, muscle density, child-bearing hips, breasts, ect.) NOTABLE: Resemblance to well-documented phenotype "Goblin."

Xeno-Mammalian, Homeothermic, indicated standard room temp too cool? May consider topside transfer and holding.

Sapient, Civilized, Technological (see: Recovered Artifacts Log 650C) Artifacts indicate at least steel and machine processing,

Utilize Functional Hyper-Geometrical Technique (see below.)

Eyes: Reflective outer-layer lends a glossy 'blank" appearance. This, as well as notable brow, hairless skin, sebaceous glands, and other adaptations indicate a bright, and likely hot/dry, natural climate.

Male, young adult, trained warrior? Tech disorientation should keep containment easy for a few weeks.

Female, late adolescence, notable contrast to male in having a singular discolored eye, as well as lacking the large ears of the male. Scans show massively deformed skull and brain structure to allow for this eye and even cursory examination reveals crude scars where the ears would be (female circumcision? occult sign? criminal penalty?)

WARNING: Considerable hypergeometic training on top of natural talent, use genelocked dampeners and at least one hypertechician or sensitive on hand for all interactions.

Doubt I will ever actually use Vidder in a quest, maybe a really random encounter or reference, but not as a whole species.

I would like to make a /quest/ bestiary sometime, could be a fun document to make, get a lot of anatomy practice in (I could defiantly use it.) Someone did draw all the various species of women in /quest/ naked and to scale at some point, but I was thinking something a bit more analytical with less gender restriction.

So, I will probably start a new chapter of Before the Storm pretty soon (but don't expect too many updates this week becasue I still have finals.)

However, I don't really want to just 'abandon' First Hand, as poorly drawn as most of the older art is. Still, I'm unsure of how I'm going to handle it, I really planned for all the characters in First Hand to be disposable on a whim, it was the place they were exploring that would become the setting for yet another quest.

You could try seashore. A simpler program biased on gimp but native. It works pretty well as long as you don't want varied line width(tablet support but no tool for line width, only opacity).

I used to use 0.1.9 a while back and it worked well. There's a new version out that might be better.

To be fair that one is probably an elite bodyguard or shock trooper. Something like this is likely more typical.
