Howdy! I'm VicZar! I'm a vetmed grad that loves Teamfortress2, Transformice, Sky:COTL, Journey, mermaids, beasts and whatnot. My blog is mostly politics-free and full of colorful stuff, but beware of occasional gore and horror.

The Fantastic Goblin Wizard "Gobbo"

The mystical Gobbo spent his time observing the wondrous light magic of the Sky kingdom. From light-powered boats and doorways to the benevolent mantas and the fantastical Sky children themselves, the kingdom seems to run solely on this power source.

Fascinated, he was an astute and smart kobold who thought of replicating this magic (as he cannot wield its power naturally like Sky children) and immersed himself researching and crafting such power.

He withdrew into the Hidden Forest, his home which was abundant with light blooms, and thought of them to be potential resources of his experiments. His first few tries using every spell he could think of ended in tiny embers and failures, but by his 27th he managed to recreate a faint yet unmistakable glimmer of the light magic.

This piece is an art commission for @catofaurora! Featuring their SkyCOTL OC Gobbo! Super sweet, patient and understanding person QwQ I'm so grateful for them because it's been one of the hottest summers in my country, I was melting on my computer whew! Gobbo was a lot of fun to draw!

FWIW, "mauve" was one of the coal-tar dyes developed in the mid-19th century that made eye-wateringly bright clothing fashionable for a few decades.

It was an eye-popping magenta purple

HOWEVER, like most aniline dyes, it faded badly, to a washed-out blue-grey ...

...which was the color ignorant youngsters in the 1920s associated with โ€œmauveโ€.

(This dress is labeled "mauve" as it is the color the above becomes after fading).

They colored their vision of the past with washed-out pastels that were NOTHING like the eye-popping electric shades the mid-Victorians loved. This 1926 fashion history book by Paul di Giafferi paints a hugely distorted, I would say dishonest picture of the past.

Ever since then this faded bluish lavender and not the original electric eye-watering hot pink-purple is the color associated with the word โ€œmauveโ€.

Oh! Just like the Victorians did to the Gothic, where actual Gothic cathedrals which had been built to be bright and full of light were portrayed as dark and gloomy places, because that's what happens after a cathedral is filled with candles for several hundred years.

Shit man, this wizard war is fucked. I just saw a guy clap his hands together and say "the ten hells" or some similar shit, and every one around him turned inside out, had their tibia explode and then disappeared. The camera didn't even go onto him, that's how common shit like this is. My ass is casting frostbite and level 2 poison. I think I just heard "power word:scrunch" two groups over. I gotta get the fuck outta here.
