On Perceptions (Fate/Heresy Character Review)

 With Legend of Korra and Fate/Zero wrapping up this past weekend, I was left in a rather contemplative mood, and felt like doing something constructive.  And this is LIKE being constructive, right?

Anyway, because I know you AALLLLL wanted to make these for your Fate/Heresy characters, and were just being hobbled by me being slow with my "What the DM Saw" images, right?



Lancer:

 Berserker:

Isaac:

Ishmael:

Caster:















Revisionism Bonus: Guest Boss The Fiery Night Drake (HTMC)

Incomplete:

My Completed Version (for lulz):

Anyway, the epilogue is on its way whenever I happen to finish polishing it and integrating Kory's section.  So, you know.  At a point in time.

On the Holiday Spirit

People asked for the higher def stand-alone, and in the spirit of the holidays, I am delivering all your sunglassed Gilgamesh needs (okay, just this one picture, actually).

Tangentially related note: Santa Claus as a Rider Servant.  Thoughts?

I suspect at least one of his Noble Phantasms buries you in coal if your alignment is Evil.

On Crossover Memes

This is an object lesson on the single but glaring advantage Photoshop has over Paint.net.

The Blur Tool.

See those edges?  Those would be cleaned the f*ck up with the Blur Tool.  I would be like "those edges need to be less harsh" and the Blur Tool would be like "Can Do!"  It would be great.

There's a least one more silly Fate/Fu picture in the works, so stay tuned if you haven't left already.

On Being Late to the Party

Flask, your post inspired this, so it's your fault.  That's my line of logic, and I'm sticking to it.  The textless version will be available upon demand.

Expect at least one more stupid photoshop post in the next few days.  I've been feeling "creative," and you all know what that means!

On Bullsh*t

I'll be honest, I'm only posting this here because I don't care to create an account at an image-hosting site but I want to link it somewhere.  So another thought is churned out from the roiling sea of my mind and washes up on the shores of my blog, forlorn and without particular reason to be here.

Created for use in a conversation here, if anyone is curious (and for my own bookkeeping).

On OH SH*T I F*CKING KNEW IT

HTMC recently sent me a link to some photos of Gainax's building's walls.

Wait for it...

I SUCCESSFULLY PREDICTED THAT THE PEOPLE WHO MAKE ANIME WATCH OTHER COMPANIES' ANIME.  THIS IS AN ACHIEVEMENT IN PROPHECY FOR THE AGES.

But seriously, I'm calling smug and insipid "Called It" rights when there are some Star Driver references in the next Gainax Super Robot series that I grudgingly watch and then incessantly whine about.

On Strictly Unscientific Graphs

Hmmmm..........

Edit:  In response to some very reasonable confusion, I'm going to go ahead and explain that the first chart has a fairly obvious point ("extroverted characters are more fun for me to play, or are at least more fun in retrospect") and the second chart has no point whatsoever (I made it purely for my own curiosity to see what trends would arise, but none did, really).  Okay, revisionism over, back to your regularly scheduled post.

On Memes Revisited

To explain/kill the joke: I expected Fullmetal Alchemist dressed up as Bleach.  I got Bleach dressed up as the Warhammer 40k Inquisition.

Admittedly, Wakfu does show the influence of both ATLA and Asterix Le Gaul (especially Asterix).

On George RR Martin's Standard Character Arc (mild ASoI&F spoilers)

Though I wouldn't worry TOO much about the spoilers unless you haven't read A Game of Thrones.  The pattern is pretty well established by the end of that book.  Still, I'll throw in some spoiler space so you can leave.

(Meanwhile) On French Children's TV [Mild Wakfu Spoilers]...

None of these images were capped or captioned by me, but this meme needs more love, and this only scratches the surface of the available fodder in this show.

Theoretically, they'd all have the same caption, but I'm lazy.

Ankama has almost as much fun with the censors as Arrested Development or Avatar's writers, I think.
