Don't feed the crows. .. Why not? Inej, Kaz / Six of Crows (c) Leigh Bardugo

#six of crows #leigh bardugo #inej ghafa #kaz brekker #inej x kaz #book art #illustration #book of the year for me I think. I really liked it!#I don't know why the characters were so young tho. I kept getting whiplashed reading their descriptions like -#'she's around 40 maybe... hmm no 17 it seems' and 'ah yes a 30-something guy! who's also 17. perfect.' I just don't think it was needed.#but I still thought they were interesting characters and the story was fun to follow along.#shortly after I finished reading the book we got a copy of it in the store. just. chilling. in the bottom of a box.#it's so rare that we get good fantasy and then it just happened to be this specific one??#sadly it was printed in my first language (cringe) but my boss bought it for her daughter so all's well!

Yes!! It would be fine if they never gave their false promises [landing zones] but alas! Lies!

hello-magicalfoxy asked:

HI HELLO GOOD MORNING

I just wanna say,,, your artstyle is so very yummy and I’m in love with the way you draw the Dragon Age companions in every game and and and also Kassandra even though I only played Odyssey for an hour and and I haven’t seen any Baldur’s gate yet maybe I’m blind (I highly recommend it it’s an insaaanely good game it’s like a whole DND adventure with a bunch of lovesick puppies (this is a joke, obviously. Although there is a dog and he’s the best boy))

So uh

Sorry for the rambling

I love your art ❤️❤️❤️

Hello!! Sorry for the slow reply! Thank you very much! And I don't mind ramblings :) I will play Baldur's Gate in the future, but I'm not really in the mindset for it right now. It does seem like a lot of fun! I have blocked every tag relating to it while I wait, so I know I'm missing out! But it's ok. I can offer a random Elder Scrolls Online sketch for now, though.

#ask #eso oc #I obsess over perfect resolutions to every single quest and I just know there will be a fandom wiki page in the background -#- if I try playing baldur's gate rn and that kinda ruins it. so. I'm considering how to do. we shall see!

Yes, it is still luck even if you zig-zagged across the entire map. Just imagine - that spot might as easily have been without loot! Inquisitor Lavellan, Cassandra, Iron Bull and a Mysterious Hand / Dragon Age Inquisition (c) Bioware

Anonymous asked:

hi, new follower here for the exquisite ME fanart, have you played supergiant games' hades? pretty sure that's something i'd love to see in your style

Thank you for the kindness! Regarding Hades, I have some good news and some bad news. The bad news is that it's not my type of game, gameplay-wise. I usually don't enjoy combat for its own sake. The good news is that I did some research, because in this instance I'm perfectly fine with watching someone else suffer with combat. So, at the very least, I did some scribbles for you based on my findings :)

#I am about halfway through the yt playlist so I do not know the full story yet. but I wanted to draw nyx! love her.#I see why it's such a popular title. the art is very nice. I am very fond of zagreus' voice; most of the voices actually.#it's interesting that many of the personalities are switched in comparison to the mythology. the olympians are sooo good and kind -#and theseus is a fucking prat.#maybe there will be some reveals or twists further on but for now. yeah. we shall see!#anon ask #hades game #zagreus #(a younger version.)#nyx #pom of power #comic #supergiant games

Storytime, when I started a second playthrough it was mainly because I craved sudoku. Female Ryder (custom), Scott Ryder / Mass Effect Andromeda (c) Bioware

I made a really disgusting soup this week because several years ago my mom bought these sliced... beet artichokes? I dunno. anyway #they were forgotten in the basement freezer and when I moved I decided to bring them with me and see if they could be eaten #and you can (usually) make a really nice soup with them and potatoes etc but problem 1 was that they were not properly cleaned #and since they had been frozen I saw no clear way to like. fix them. so I popped them in the pot thinking it would all boil apart anyway #and here comes problem 2 - it's all supposed to be blended with that hand mixer thing you know? but I had forgotten it while moving #so I only had my electric whisk available for like 1 kg of root vegetables and almost 2 l liquid all needing to be crushed together #and I could not do it in the pot because it might damage the glaze or whatever so I stood there scooping everything into a bowl #and then tried to whisk it together into a smooth soup with my little electric whisk. I shall tell you that this was not a good idea.#anyway so I have been eating this lumpy yellow-grey mess with bits of peel in it and while writing this I still have three more days to go #every evening has been me going 'if you eat it you can have something nice after ok? don't look at it just swallow...'#and two weeks before this I made a really lovely fake palak paneer and it was a week of bliss and I suddenly started writing a lot #and after that came this soup #it's fine. it's fine. I would be hard pressed to cook anything worse than this for next week. so it's fine.
