something about loving a character and wishing the narrative did too
….this face isn’t any better. You need to be more intimidating!!
Needs to be more like
ÒwÓ
Angry eyes!
…. @lord-zodiark Dad plz tell the emissary he’s doing it wrong!
He is an emissary... if he had a mean face nobody would be willing to cooperate or listen.
I went crazy with poses and new brush presets from Krita
So here’s some Hydaelyn and Zodiark art.
Also, this is the first time I was able to draw the male torso and muscles in both legs and arms without refs o.o. Hydealyns pose…I’m not too crazy about…it needs work.
Bonus: This is the second time I noticed that I drew a character giving me the finger again.
>:c
Whelp.. here it is.. the storm is still on us but I wanted to get this out there so we can start securing funds for repairs. I have no idea how much these repairs will cost. I’ll try to upload more pics tomorrow but I left my phone at my house.
Hurricane Harvey has officially bumped up to the #1 worst, most costly natural disaster to make landfall on USA soil
All over the city water is still rising. Thankfully not here. Harveys eye is still in the gulf as it just sits there gathering more moisture. Some highway/road closures aren’t letting people into Houston but people can get out.
I’ve been posting most of my updates on my pridefulascian blog cause it’s the account tied to my phone. But the sun is finally out. We’re cleaning as much as we can in our house. My GoFundMe has more photos in the updates.
I just wanted to add that any funds we don’t use will go to fundraiser and relief efforts all around our city of Bellaire and Texas.
Hurricane Harvey
So.. I’m making this post to inform everyone that @lord-zodiark and I will be having a Hurricane potentially sitting on top of us for at least 3 days due to two areas of high pressure causing the system to get wedged in between them and stall out on top of us. So far this storm has been upgraded from a low pressure system yesterday to a Cat 1 Hurricane and is most likely going to increase to a Cat 3 before it makes Landfall in southern Texas. To make matters worse, we will be on the right side of the Hurricane which produces extremely devastating winds.
Should this storm make landfall as a Cat 3 (considered a major Hurricane) we on the right side of the Hurricane could experience up to 120-130 MPH Winds as opposed to the Left side receiving more rain which would make it more on par with a Cat 4 for us.
The Texas coast has not seen a Hurricane since 2008′s Ike which made landfall as a Cat 2 Hurricane with an overly immense storm surge. Ike made records as the third costliest U.S. Altantic Hurricane of this century despite not being a major hurricane when it made landfall on Texas shores. Ike literally obliterated our natural defenses against storm surge all along our southern coast. It destroyed our sand bars and our sand dunes, which Sand dunes are our coasts only protection against rising waters and tides. It was only just a year and a half ago that our sand dunes were starting to make a come back with the aid of people living there. (Money that was usually set aside to clean up the seaweed that washes ashore to better build up our sand dunes was spent paying the settlement of a sensitive prick from California who doesn’t even live there 75% of the year all because of people walking on the beach in front of their house. And now there’s a private beach law which is absolutely the stupidest thing in the world.)
With Harvey closing in, as I mentioned there is a potential it would get wedged in between to areas of high pressure and sit on us, or be spun back out into the gulf of Mexico by one high pressure system and gather even more strength before moving BACK into the Texas coast line.
There is a LOT of potential for our coasts and further inland to be sent to hell in a hand basket. It’s likely we may see heavy flooding to the point where we might actually have water come into our house. The only time water has ever come close to seeping into our house was during a Tropical Storm called Allison which occurred in 2001. Harvey is already being likened to Tropical Storm Allison in terms of potential rain fall. What makes these two so similar is that Allison did what Harvey will potentially do. Come in and then be swung back out into the gulf to collect more water before it comes back in with more rain. Bare in mind that Allison was just a Tropical Storm… Harvey is potentially going to be a Category 3 Hurricane. Hurricane Ike made landfall as a Category 2, but the storm surge was cited to be like that of a Category 4. Who knows how bad the storm surge will be with Harvey as it rapidly intensifies.
I know I haven’t been active here due to GW2 having stolen my soul again. But if you do not see either @lord-zodiark or myself for a while, Harvey would be the issue. I will try to keep tumblr updated as the storm makes landfall but please, whatever religion you believe in or whatever higher power you worship or even if you don’t believe in anything take the time to wish for Texas’ well being as Harvey approaches.
Thank you.
Regarding the Ascian’s of Mateus
Ok so it’s been brought up to me that apparently people are getting a little pissy about a bunch of housing on Mateus being taken by a FC called Chrysalis.
Let me say… THIS IS NOT OUR GROUP.
I repeat.
THE MATEUS ASCIAN GROUP IS NOT THE SAME ONE FROM BALMUNG.
While our Ascian troupe is played by several different individuals, the Mateus group is played by only two people.
Please do not harass the individuals in the Balmung Ascian group because we are not the same ones on Mateus.
Our groups Ascians will always be categorized with a Title for the First name and a name for the surname. Such as Overlord Nabriales, Overlord Lahabrea, Emissary Elidibus, Acolyte Unukalhai.
While the Mateus group is categorized differently.
I would appreciate if people spread this around to clear up any confusion on this matter. I would greatly appreciate it.
||- Guys please help reblog this because I do not want to have to send messages to every bleeding person who has posted on that very long post by the Mateus Ascian group for fear that they may group us with them and launch an assault to harass us and accuse us of doing these things when we literally have no one on that server cept just an Overlord Nabriales alt I made a while back.
We only have one house and that’s on Balmung and is our FC’s house that we worked hard to get the gil to purchase.
The VERY last thing I want is to have to address this subject in game over people accusing us of doing something that isn’t even our doing.
I also do not want people to think we are the same group and potentially avoid RPing and interacting with the Balmung group due to the Mateus’ groups actions.
Please, PLEASE reblog and share this so this epidemic does not hurt our group.
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY TO THE GREATEST DAD IN THE KNOWN AND UNKNOWN UNIVERSE!
All other dads can heck off.
Thank you!
Ok.. so guys. OOC post here.
At the start of the year I visited some fellow Ascian players on Mateus and got to see the neighborhood they essentially took over in the Goblet. Almost all their current troupe (despite being played by two people) have a home. Their Nabriales though, was the only one with a large… and I became so inspired by it.
Like yeah, I can see Nabriales’ potential living space being the biggest because of his love thirst for knowledge and power and to ultimately be recognized. When I initially started garnering attention and gaining interest with others wanting to take on the roles of the Ascian’s our server lacked, I had wanted to start a separate Free Company with the Ascian’s in mind. I had wanted a large for the whole group because I felt nothing could demonstrate their devotion more than having enough space for all Ascian’s needs. But as you can see, being on Balmung - Larges are scarce to come by.
Yet with the announcement of Stormblood and the new residential district as well as the inspiration I gained from our Ascian fellows on Mateus; I wanted to make this a reality. I am also hoping with the dropping of the PS3 client in Stormblood that SE is able to make past ideas a reality - such as Free Company Alliances. Reason being is I still love my current FC and I would be heartbroken to see it die if me and my fellow group of Zodiark worshipers were to leave and have no way of being able to visit and keep it alive. When the time comes that our current Free Company is to open to the public as a resort and retreat - I have already made plans for the troupe to be employees. I mean how funny would it be to have this man (who happens to be an Ascian trying to blend in) awkwardly trying to serve you while also trying not to be so repulsed by mortal life?
So as a means to get started on said potential Free Company I give you:
Yes, Mordion Gaol. The name is likely to change but for now this is what it will be called. As for a house I’m in the process; with my fellow Zodiark loving geeks, of procuring funds for a large in Lavender Beds. Any Large Location in Lavender Beds interests me, but the two on my top pick list are the one with a bridge sectioning it off on an island, and the one up on the highest hill right next to the resident caretaker. So Plots 3/33 or plots 28/58.
Our current funds:
As you can see we’ve a long way to go to get there and lately it has become extremely hard to make gil on Balmung for the average player. It seems only Hardcore Crafters or Extreme/Savage raiders have been making off like bandits and while we would divulge into maps; it would seem we lack the consistent numbers online to do such. But we will try our damned hardest to bring to this server a proper place for Ascian’s and lord Zodiark enthusiasts to retreat to or simply visit! Our doors would be open except on rare occasions and to try to make matters more hilarious we have plans to make the outside of the mansion have the Paissa wall to hopefully ward off any potential suspicion! (like that will REALLY work :> )
I am in no way making this post to request help with funding, but if you see us on in Silver Star Harbor we would definitely welcome the help with maps and Aquapolis when we lack the numbers. ;_;
I do wish you though to keep supporting us and our group by interacting with us out in the wild’s of Eorzea! You never know when or where we may make an appearance or what internal childish drama you may land in the middle of, but know that interactions in game will be of much fun and hilarity. :3c (save for if it’s just Loghrif and Nabriales.. I would run if it was just those two by themselves. >_>)
Thank you Balmung community for continuing to show your support and love for these characters we enjoy portraying for you!
