It's a new year, time to try and be Online again! I'm committing myself to engaging with Bluesky more.
Oh and would you look at that, it's an updated writing website. (Comms still closed until I finish the ones I'm working on tho lol.)
jays-writing.carrd.co
An Art Fight profile card for user "snaby", advertising their team (Crystals), their attack preferences (humans/humanoids and kemonomimi; friendly fire and revenges checked off), five of their featured characters (Chthoe, Jorran, Alani, Galilea, Kane), their types of characters (all human/oid), and a note at the bottom reading "go attack paavonia!!" The card is pink-themed with crystal and heart imagery.
First ever Art Fight let's goooooo
I'm gonna post one of my characters every day until July 1st! Find me at artfight.net/~snaby
(A small, dimly lit room cluttered with bookshelves. A crystal ball glows on a table between two chairs while a gilded incense burner smokes nearby. Curtains separate out the rest of the inn room from view.) God bless "Reguard Bookcase, Filled" and "Redguard Bookcase, Piled". My original setup in Captain Margaux's House uses about 100 items to achieve basically the same effect. The crystal ball is made from a carefully angled Murkmire Lamp, Hanging Bottle because I couldn't find anything else the right size. More tiny spherical decorations plz ZOS.
(The same room from a different angle, more closely showing the crystal ball and incense burner. The door is visible, and the curtains have been drawn back to reveal the more brightly-lit second half of the inn room, where a small alchemy setup is visible.) 30 furnishings is just not a lot of furnishings y'all. If you've ever tried decorating Golden Gryphon Garret you know my pain.
(A close-up of the alchemy setup, showing a small chest of drawers stacked with bottles and bubbling glass instruments. A cabinet filled with tiny vials and recipes is tucked into the corner along with a broom. A bookshelf and several hanging bundles of herbs completes the setup.) I made as many of these furnishings as I could myself but still spent way too much money buying things I couldn't afford the recipe for. Housing is SO EXPENSIVE. I could've sold that gold on a sketchy website and made enough real actual money for a 10-piece McNugget meal. Smh.
(The last quarter of the inn room is visible from this angle. Beyond the bookshelf and drying herbs, ivy climbs the wall next to a bed with a cheerful patchwork quilt. It is stacked with haphazardly strewn books, and a pair of candles on the nightstand provide light.) Why is every single lighting fixture in this game so dim. I have an entire chandelier of candles just out of frame, the candles by the bed, and sunlight coming in through the windows, and it still looks like I was trying to do mood lighting for a sexy rendezvous with my Twilight Matron. Help.
It was difficult to find something small enough to use as a crystal ball, but here's my "Cozy Inn Room" entry for the #ESOWelcomeHomeContest, which you can find on PCNA under "Witch's Parlor"! I will be doing a From Scratch entry as well, but I might work up to the wire on that.
#Arcane is cosmic horror in that everyone who watches it becomes infected by The Anguish, and they make it their goal in life to indoctrinate others into experiencing The Anguish.
Anyways, my family and I will be watching Arcane.
