You're not sure how a kobold got so small, but you're unable to resist the urge to put them into your pocket and let them peek out over the edge at the big, beautiful world.

is there any solid way to change instances on mastodon or is it still a "hope peeps follow new account" clusterfuck?

i like to think that kobolds have, collectively, written down all the ins and outs of dragon culture. the social faux pas, the pecking order, the subtle rules and regulations that dragons seemed to follow to prevent the utter calamity that would be all out dragon war.

this leads to kobolds effectively emulating dragon culture in a legal system, including resolving disputes between 'bolds, and eventually kobolds serving as intermediaries between dragons.

i think the math checks out on that.

gonna brag about d&d here, silly as it is:

my dragonborn Kor is now perma-hasted due to a player induced potion mixing incident. my gm frowned :3

This evening's "draw while stretched out on my tummy on a blanket with crappy reality-competition TV going" work has yielded a sketch for a cover design I like! While I'm fine with having some issues use more illustrative, non-related covers (a la random-ass pinups where Wonder Woman is juggling lions or whatever), the first issue NEEDS to establish some character information ASAP.

That and I really do want to verify Mitch's dyed-bright hair color, since it's just "uncolored pale" in the art.

frustrated because everything up to that point felt real good. in planning phase for the full character model i'll be working on next.

update the transparent sculpey is *not* at all sooooo that thing is zorched

going to wrap this up for now and head to bed. been playing with how to make spheres, they're like bowls but *more* plan to pick this up tomorrow later in the day!!

im still up working on this. trying to do a 3-d sphere within a sphere with a flat plane cutoff all the while making a very thin material stay together and in form is, a little hard.

another small break as i consider how the heck i'm gonna do the bulb.

i have some sculpey that should be middlingly translucent, but i'm not sure if it would obstruct the insides too much. looking online is making me think it's going to be too opaque for details. not sure how much uv it would catch for the inner glowy bits.

however i dont have another clear choice in front of me if i want to go forward on this tonight, so i think in the interest of SCIENCE we're gonna try the sculpey

as an aside i am very much imagining the uv pics as underwater, with the regular lighting on land

holy heck this makes it pop!!! (uv light, glow in the dark sculpey)

ok first really big lesson learned: i should have pulled the armature wire out of the base before wrapping them in silver. had to wrestle wit some emergency patch work to keep this together, and it's lost a bit of form. onwards to defining these things in more detail, next!!
