#Lexember Day 16: a means of execution!
kha (t)ex khom, to execute by group breath weapon
(Lit. "to breath disintegrate gather")
Back to Wyrm today for this rather grim prompt. The highest ranking and their most trusted dragon lords may subject a victim to multiple, simultaneous breath weapons!

#Lexember Day 5: cooking instrument
kho pak, (noun) cooking rock
(lit. "(fire) breath rock")
xotohile han kho pak
"(they cook the) manticore on the cooking rock"
Fire dragons find pots and pans superfluous, and simply heat rocks with their breaths rather than heat over a unnecessary fire.

#Lexember Day 3: a particular dish
Yis oaker, (noun) "black giant", a dish of giant meat roasted in black dragon acid.
Moving over to my Wyrm language for this one! Leaning into the classic dragon vs giant rivalry, lazily.

Here's a sketch-map of the first encounter in the Dyos campaign: the cult of the sun's chariot processes through the market avenue, passing through a temple (where offerings are lain), ending with them throwing themselves into the sea as the sun does (into a net)!

Mythic Dawn armor had me obsessed, maybe because you can't get it as a player, maybe because I'm a sucker for red

My 5e UA Mystic redux is almost ready :)
Obviously not my magnum opus art or design-wise, but I'm very proud of the progress it shows.

Sometimes having setting guides as a personal project feels like having a hobby of carving the Great Sphinx by hand...
Good day today though :)

So to my American mind, a belt of rank seemed obvious for a monk class, but I looked it up and apparently belts of rank (and perhaps ranks themselves) weren't invented until the 1800s, so way out of scope for medieval fantasy 😬

Watches a mouth tutorial by Marco Bucci and learned:
1) yes indeed mouths are the hardest part of the face
2) darker upper lip makes a big difference :)

I should post more conlang work here.
Here's my favourite word from the Wyrm language today: shaxo (Shah-choh, the greek or scot ch), to retreat or escape. Literally "to turn wing" a la "to turn tail".
The glyph is a hill with the "wing" character fused to the end.

Happy New Year everyone!
One of my goals this year is to post more stuff, even WIPs, just to get a bit more consistency :)
So here we have the bust of a cleric of darkness on my Kunaru setting.

Had enough steam for a partial render today :)
Still need to push the values a bit more, but a big step up from grey armor.

Back in the "your first email address" days I was really into Yu-Gi-Oh and went with Des Viper as my animal of choice for some 12 yr old reason 😅
Apparently the reason for the "Des" names was to avoid calling them "Death..."
