I ran a 1-shot in this system last year and it went over surprisingly well with my group, so I decided to see about doing another one soon

at long last I've finally finished some art!

Meet Euphrasie Von Valencius, daughter of the finance minister of the hive world Sellurus III and #RogueTrader determined to lead her dynasty to better things, even as she tries to forget the betrayal that led her here

it's been a while and I have very little progress to show, but here's a midway-through bit of one of my rogue trader ladies, sans clothing

I'm overall not super satisfied with the current source for my doll patterns (they tend to fit poorly even with modification), but at least these drawstring pants turned out cute on Rose!

having a hobby like this, something hands-on and not involving screens, feels even more essential these days

read Rising Storm (Warriors: The Prophecies Begin bk 4) by Erin Hunter

Fireheart struggles in his new role as deputy with a rebellious apprentice, the distrust of his clan, a wavering leader, and Tigerclaw still lurking in the shadows of the forest, waiting for revenge

that new Aurelia model is amazing! I'm so excited to see it added to the lineup

finished Battle Ground (Dresden Files 17) by Jim Butcher

Harry and all the supernaturals around fight to protect Chicago from an ancient goddess who wants to destroy it. Basically one long action scene that's written well enough, but gets really repetitive and overwhelming by the end

6/10

this was way more fun than I expected, really enjoyed it

finished The Iliad by Homer

A record of the final days of the Trojan war, in this case translated into prose. Amazingly foundational to modern literature, but honestly very boring (although it gets better in the second half). I recommend, but more as an academic exercise than fun reading

it's 40k-related, I swear

finished The Go-Between by L.P. Hartley

An amazingly written take on a familiar topic - a boy spends time at a rich friend's house and learns about life, love, and loss. Strong, engaging character voice and great tension and imagery. Loved it way more than I expected to

this is a *very* WIP version of one of my Rogue Trader ladies, in an outfit suitable for adventuring about on unexplored worlds and sniping at rebels and xenos.

more outfits (and more detail on this one) to come!

finished Forest of Secrets (Warriors: The Prophecies Begin 3) by Erin Hunter.

warrior Fireheart continues trying to expose an enemy in his clan and watches his best friend struggle with his loyalty. Not perfect, a few moments of characters acting dumb for no reason, but really really good

finished Zaragoz (Tales of Orfeo 1) by Brian Craig

to avoid slavery, Orfeo tells his captor about his adventures with Chaos in the land of Zaragoz when a mysterious priest arrives in the remote land. Kinda Lovecraftian, but protag's emotions are too understated. Entertaining but unremarkable

a lot of stuff went wrong with the construction on this dress and in the end it doesn't quite look like I envisioned it, but at least the colors are still super cute on Daisy!

a new WIP of a rogue trader lady
July 6, 2025 at 10:45 PM
finished The Master and Maragarita by Mikhail Bulgakov

the devil + his entourage wreck havoc among Moscow's literary elite, while we follow an in-universe novel about the last days of Jesus Christ. Very complex (often too complex for me), but fun even at a surface level

bit of art of a new eldar OC I'm developing! His name is Arashar and he's a drukhari reaver pilot turned corsair (and one of Valthiel's exes)

Still working on his story beyond the basic outline, but having a look helps with the process

reread Fire and Ice by Erin Hunter

Newly-minted warrior cats Fireheart and Graystripe are dispatched to look for the remains of a clan driven from their home and have encounters that spark doubts for both. Better dialogue and characterization than bk 1 but pacing is worse

June 13, 2025 at 3:36 PM
finished Peace Talks (Dresden Files 16)

the monstrous fomor ask to negotiate peace with the rest of the supernaturals and several of Harry's family experience personal crises that require him to take drastic action. Decent setup, but over-complicated and feels like only reading half of a book

part 6 in the series of #swtor character busts I've been working on to learn digital - meet Jedi Knight, Eyrie Lancaster, professional over-achiever and over-thinker, on her way to save the galaxy if she doesn't burn herself out completely first
May 22, 2025 at 11:00 AM
finished Frankenstein by Mary Shelley

you know the story - college student creates artificial life, abandons it, and it seeks revenge. Kinda above my thoughts on it, it's too influential. Good philosophical questions and easy enough to read but weird pacing. Liked it but didn't love it

Not entirely happy with this one, but I got tired of messing around with it so here we go.

Brynn Harkness, my Imperial Agent in #swtor and a woman who is constantly being disappointed by everyone around her (not hard in Imperial Intelligence)

finished Into the Wild (Warriors: The Prophecies Begin bk 1)

a housecat is adopted into a clan of feral kitties and must contend with enemy clans and the dark secret another apprentice is keeping

very simple plot and characters + terrible dialogue, but great action scenes and good pacing
