These Were Originally Meant For A Series For Halloween, Where Shantae’s Transformations Were Lost/stolen/flew

More Fanart of TheLoadingCrew's character Hana, I think with how often I do her in comparison to other characters I'm realizing I have a thing for Dark Elves.

"The path ahead isn't always obvious, subtle signs to point you on the right path. And some times it very blanketly is, shining like a star in the sky for all the world to see, Even then, there are those who will spend all there life with there head in the dirt refusing to see."

Some spicy fanart of TheLoadingCrew's character "Bright Luster" from The Complete Waifu Handbook.

For got her wings, but ending the daily uploads here and want to work on my own ideas and not just fanart.

1) Justice is Served (Breakfast) - Justice from Helltaker enjoying some Pancakes

2) Ciel's Upgrade -  "Look at those E-Tanks!" Recently came across a fan-made game idea called "Project Ciel" which if I could I would throw money at, I feel that she is a character that could be explored more in the main series. Shure we get that she was created by Neo-Arcadia as a super-smart test tube baby, created Copy X, and later on created the Biometals, but we only see her in majority of game time as a "Damsel in distress" or "Guy in the chair" but in the project we see/play her during the early development of the Biometals. Although the main antagonist is a evil copy of herself and the 4-Guardians, which feels like its retreading ground, but I will be following this closely. Hopefully there won't be a Cease&Desist.

3) Dragon Louis -  Frankly, I don't know why I drew this. I got the idea that Louis (from Familiar of Zero) somehow fused or absorbed the Ancient Dragon (who looks like a mountain  hence the stone texture), but this being Louis she had to improve herself, hence the gold claws & tail unearthed from under the stone skin, and the jewels imbedded in the stone skin.

Fanart of @RakkuGuy's Character Coal, This is yet another thing on the long list of reasons you don't leave a Kobold alone.

MTG Ramblings: Equipment Mana Rocks

A new year for ramblings, new year for BS ideas. This time being Magic the Gathering, Magic is a complex game and only getting more with power creep in order to sell products, with this need to make money they have to plat it safe and won't experiment in how mechanics work. This is where we step in and create possibilities that they are too much of a cowered to do/revisit, this time ramping equipment.

Inspired by Future Sight's "Second Wind" & "Flowstone Embrace" Future Sight being the 'Stuff we may do in the future' set was made up of one-off mechanics in order to invoke a "Welcome to the World of Tomorrow" feeling. Some were successful and we have scene some cards after the set, but others they have admitted they they can never do again, 'Second Wind' being one of them for how confused players were with it. It is a Aura Enchantment that taps to tap or untap the Enchanted creature, no the Enchanted creature does not tap to do this effect the Aura itself does. When you put it like that it makes sense, but with the literal rest of the cards having static effects or the 'Enchanted creature has "Tap to -"' in the mist of a game is confusing. So I want to add to that more, this being Equipment that are also Mana Rocks.

What do I mean by this, I mean what I mean, that being Equipment like your various "Bone Saws" & "Swords of Fire and Ice" combined with ramping artifacts that tap for Mana such as "Marble Diamond" or "Drake-Skull Cameo".

Some of the advantages of this: would being able to have smaller sets with a good amount of ramp & complexity needed to make a satisfying experience, as well as to give equipment more slots in a set without making the play experience less desirable/bogged-down by not being able to use/equip it to creatures and take up valuable space in a deck (For Draft & Limited formats)

Down sides will be: Having to make it's Casting Cost being a minimum of 3 mana without the equip cost, or 4 mana or higher depending on the Effect of the Equipment being higher powered. People not understanding that you could tap the equipment while equipped to add mana. I don't think a dule colored rock can exist needing to be a base 4 with a equip cost of at least 3 in order to not overshadow/power creep the the 'Clue stone' cycle.

(Tangent; Dammit WotC you print the mana rocks in every commander product you make, reprint the Cluestones to update them to have the 'Clue' subtype. I want my 'Graf Mole' synergy!)

So while I do think they can work, they wont be made anytime soon due to the abundance of other already existing Mana Stones.

"The mistress will be right down, Can I get you something to eat, some tea perhaps." The butler asked as I sat of the vintage couch, trying not to shiver. The furniture being a mish match of styles didn't quiet fit the ascetic of the mansion, then again nothing from the modern era really does.

"No," I say & take out the thermal flask, the cheep tea bag giving it a vagally fruity flavor clamming to be 'Orange Blossom'

"You realize that you don't need to do that," the butler said, dusting another corner of missed matched candle holder "it doesn't work that way with me."

"I'd rather not take the chance." I snipped back, what I learned is that you always need to go back to the original mythology of a creature to know there true abilities, at least to the older ones. Guess what, its all mental. If your a new one then yes, you get the whole package, but I was dealing with a 200 year old vamp & a Fae.

Huffing the browny turned to me and stated with a rather un ingenuity deminer and flatly stating "I am a Browny, a house cleaning spirit, one that is the unseen helper. One that is forced to leave if insulted by the homeowner, That being Lady Matilda good sir. I have no reason or means to harm you."

"Yah, but old Lovecraft took the name eldritch from the old word for Fae" I shoot back, leaning forward to look at them but not into there eyes. "I'm not gong to take chances. I've read the Brothers"

"I'm sure you have', just like how everyone in the modern age has read Homer, or Marks, or Tolkien." they show back, not bothering to look at me as they continued there work by the fireplace.

Sighing I relaxed and mumbled "I'm a F-ing HVAC tech, and got dragged into a world of Magic mumbo jumbo, how the heck am I suppose to react?"

Pausing the butler tilted there head in thought, then said "Like with any other client, respect. You, unlike your fellow craftsmen, do not seek to swindle your clients. You do good work, and are willing to do overtime in order to get the work done right, and not just done."

Taking another sip of my thermos I asked "And her?" I asked my eyes drifting to the stairs, both of knowing the meaning of the subject.

"She has always been well adjusted, but too… naïve" they hesitated, speaking of the home's owner in such a way. "It is why she was turned in the first place, too trusting… And what got her trapped in the first place."

We were going to continue but the intentional creaking of the upstairs door, one that they paid good money for, alerted us to the owner of the house.

"Ah, Matt, so how is everything? Did you figure out what happened to the System, it only twenty years old." The mistress of the house asked, she stiped down to the Victorian equivalent of skimpy wear, a fan in her hand as she tried to bear the overheated (to her) house.

"Not god" I said pulling out my phone & showing her pictures of the Compressor completely blackened "The thing was way to small when it was put in.. Because it was never meant for running all the time, or at such a low temperature, meant only during the height of summer." I didn't know what she expected, the place wasn't supposed to be at a balmy 40 degrease "The system is going to need to be torn out & replaced, your going to have to get something larger, probably a 4 ton. And you need a dehumidifier"

"De-humidifier?" She asked, not familiar with that word

"It takes ingenuity out of the air, so you don't get water condensing off your walls. Dry and Cold instead of Wet and Damp." I stated back "I like the walls drippings," She said "I reminds me of home"

"I's also destroying your house, there pools of water where there shouldn't be, and its warping the wood… I wouldn't be surprised if there's a lot of mold in the walls as well." I said

"That's what a Undead Vampire's home should be" She stated, not getting why I would want to get rid of it..

Sighing I rubbed the bridge of my nose, the supernatural had a.. Interesting taste in dwellings, but they were a lot more accommodating than most people. "Stuff isn't built like it use to be, if this keeps up y'all have to gut the house & re do it in half a year, and it would only last ten after that."

Eyeing me she sighed & walked over to the cabinet pulling out the check, Mumbling i herd her say "What happened with Human ingenuity to make an item last past your death?"

Taking the check in hand I said "Consumerism & short term memories. No one what's seeming good but expensive, they want something cheep that they can throw away. So we can start Sunday, it going to be…."

A Idea that came to mind while reading vampire folklore & Tumbler head-cannon posts, Vampire are usually obsessive, be that at people or things. And we have the trope of them twisting things into grotesque version of there previous interests, such as using blood to paint or twisting human bodies into monstrous statues. What happens to vampire who have more mundane interests/hobbies? What happens when a thousand year old vampire obsessed with candle making do? (Well besides start using a multitude of human bodies as the bace for the candles), Would they do shit like taking ten years to mold & carve a decretive candle in the shape of hyperrealist animal only to toss it into a pile of other previous attempts at a slight flaw?

And that is assuming there hobby is creative, what if the fang barer had something like physical exercise? "Ok, I have my jog around Europe all planed out, It will take three months, ill get back just in time to start laundry, have a quick snack before Elizbeth show's up". I know that they cant cross running water & the sea has a lot of salt so they cant exactly do a "Swimming across the English channel" but between the tips of South America & Africa, but still what sort of cray shit would they get up to?

Then again on the other side, how lazy & bad can they get. The 'I can do it later' mentality but when you have a near endless immoral life you can put stuff off for decades. Imagen trying to get the money for a commission you started in the early 1800's only to find that the entire bloodline is dead, and having to track down any connection, and the only living blood descendent is some HVAC technician living out in nowhere Ohio who knows nothing of his family history other than he was adopted & now has to try and convenes this Vampire that 1)he doesn't want it. 2) cant afford it, and 3) has no room for it in his shack of a house.

"I've heard of the Holy Spirit, but this is a little ridiculous."

I have Ideas... Mostly, how long would it take to brew & age a 9'th level spell, say True Reresection.

Sorry for not uploading here for a month or more but here is some Halloween stuff. As part of Protonjon’s community where is a sup community known as the egg-pack and the B.V.A. (booru voodoo avengers), Well the BVA are based off of the avengers and there are a lot of avengers teams. So decided to draw most if not all of the BVA in Avengers 1,000,000 BC style. Now the reasoning for there designs:

Tiger - Instead of one of the shortest members thin incarnation is the tallest (Mortal) member

Negative - Intelligent but has not evolved into humanoid form, but where did he get shades?

Aelita - With no tech (created by humans) I decided her reality warping powers (the paintbrush) is magic

Rae - Is it another case of time travel or is Rae just unknowingly old? and if so why have they never mentioned to the others about meting the in the past and (Austin powers voice) "oh no I've gone cross eyed"

Supericee - He has that fire/flame on his collar. In retrospect it might not have been the best idea to make him a Genie-esk being (Accidental stereotyping, sorry) Luci - like with Negative it will take some time for evolution to give us anthropomorphic species, the trumpeter is because its a ancient form of communication and luci is the BVA's secretary Nasue - I remember him being a Dullahan (a type of spirit) so I went with another form of spirit based around there mask Ben - For the 2D to 3D aspect I went with cave-painting and ancient Sumerian statues. Winter - Her powers are ice based and one of the most powerful things in nature is winter so it seamed appropriate for the founder of the BVA

Lunar - Since her power is to be able to blend into whatever world she's in a Messenger God seamed fitting Chaoz - She? is a massive shadow person and my mind jumped to a horror game for whatever reason so the spawn of a unknowable being seamed appropriate Ebot - A prototype scout craft of whatever alien civilization is out there Sakura - She draws already existing character in sonic-style so having her summon spirits of animals felt right. also same tribe as Tiger because cat-girls.
