Aredhel-erinti - Tears Unnumbered Ye Shall Shed...

One thing I really love about Genshin Impact is its lore. Someone (I don’t remember exactly who, but I think it was My Name for Now) perfectly expressed one of the main reasons why I’m so obsessed with this game (paraphrasing):

“GI is an archaeological game. Secrets slowly reveal themselves as you walk through the world and explore it, but that doesn’t mean the information is true – the unreliable narrator plays a huge role here. The information isn’t always accurate.”

Which isn’t exactly unique… as far as I know, many games work on this principle… but what makes it the ultimate ideal for me is the combination of various philosophies, religions, cultures, and even physics that shape this lore. I love digging into it, and I love when the story puzzles connect, for example, through real religions or philosophical concepts.

And that’s exactly why I always enjoy and care more about the main world quests (which often belongs to a new region) than the Archon quest itself… And what I love the most about these world quests are the stories of the so-called god-kings. The story about King Deshret is amazing… the story about Remus is even more amazing… and now? We have the story about Och-kan (who is not a god-king sensu stricta, I guess, but he has a similar poor little meow meow vibe as the previous two).

I was so taken by the story that I had to draw him… His design is based on the murals in the Ochkanatlan. I love these idiots so much that I’m thinking about drawing all of them (including Decarabian).

would you like to explain the untamed like im -5 ? just are they brothers? friends? (google exists but mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh no)

Local man in black does a little necromancy and Goes Through Some Shit and both he and Mr. Headband are real gay about it.

(Like...really, really gay about it.)

This is your local hated necromancer’s brother, who will deny to the ends of the earth that he still loves and cares for his brother, and proceeds to have 50 episodes worth of big feelings about it.

This is that other dude’s brother, who spends approximately 40+ episodes pretending that he’s got his shit together and the other 5 having a big gay existential crisis, and I think that’s very sexy of him.

And this is Nie Huaisang who’s just happy to be here.

(I’m so sorry if you wanted a serious answer; it’s like 3:30 in the morning and I’m exhausted and also dying. GODSPEED.)

Beleg before his hair turned silver because of Turin old age.

Don’t worry, I’m still doing modern au requests, I was just hit by inspiration. 

For the anon who asked about life drawing, here’s an example of how I do it:

   The structuring is the most important part. Try to get the features as accurate as possible. Resist the urge to go into the details. It looks weird right now because of the lack of shading.

 Getting the lighting right is also important. You need to figure out where the direct light is coming from.

The rendering is actually the easiest part. Once you’ve got the position of the features and the lighting, all you need to do is fill it in.

  Another thing that I’ve had to learn is the importance of contrast. You need darkness to contrast the light parts so don’t be afraid to darken the necessary parts.

Baby manuls!!! My beloved...

@ the Silmarillion fandom:

I want to see how many of us there are and it’s been a few months since one of these last went around. I know some people have joined/started making content in that time, and I’d like to include them in this. So I’ll start:

Reblog if you didn’t write My Immortal

We’re going to find the author by process of elimination.

I watched the Czech Silmarillion musical, and I LOVED IT!! Here's some of my favourite bits (though not all, this thing has a lot of gems, please check it out.)

Also, I decided to start posting my art on this account, rather than only on @evil-crayon , since this way, more of my mutuals actually see it.I'll make that same announcement over there too and then repost my old art from there here.

Maybe it’s weird but I genuinly like spiders. They’re fascinating (especially their webs) - eight legs and all.

And when you look at it from the right perspective, Shelob and Ungoliant are both such a strong female characters.

I actually could be on this “third side”.

Okay, so we’re often led to believe that spiders = the Dark Lords, especially in LOTR, where its like “lol yea spiders just hang around Mordor” and in lore for the Hobbit, too, where its like “lol Necromancer’s land is riddled with em” but… does he even fuckin’ like the spiders??? We never see him use them. They’re just AROUND. In the shadows. Trailing him, picking on his Orcs as much as anyone else. I mean, he seems to like Shelob? But that doesn’t necessarily mean he likes all the others… Or is this just like… Him being all “fuck it I’m tired of existence, I’ll align myself to the spiders, too… cause you knnow what they threw my master in the Void and drowned me” I’ve always assumed that since Ungoliant isn’t a creation of Melkor, her brood aren’t even really allies of the Dark Forces. I’ve always seen them as their own faction.
