Sculptures I made while researching my PhD. They were made in 2023 & freakishly similar to Visage, like my whole thesis is freakishly similar to Verso in concept.

They're lead casts of L'inconnue de la Seine circa 1880s (Or Jeune Femme 1860s) a French late Victorian myth about a perfect 'corpse'

Slowly updating my original design for my favourite Light Cleric 🔥🔮✨

Got married on Thursday and only cried a little

More fun things from Visage: Mask Keeper harasses Verso with Dante Alghieri's Death mask (iykyk...) Dante is a popular plaster cast to study from in many Ateliers and one of Charles Barque's instructional lithographs from the era in which the game takes place.

Academic takes on E33: ‘He Who Guards the Truth With Lies’ is one of the most misinterpreted parts of Expedition 33, and by extension Verso’s behaviour, due to ‘lies’ being so tied to moral failing. Imo is a direct reference to long debated 🇫🇷 philosophy on painting (1/?)

#ClairObscur #Expedition33

I keep seeing people assign Kübler-Ross's stages of grief to the Dessendres. It isn't a 1 to 1 – I'm not convinced that was the allegorical intent – but *if* you did it:

Aline: Depression
Maellicia: Denial
Clea: Anger
Renoir: Bargaining
Verso: Acceptance (but really he's Middle Knowledge imo)

Happy Halloween! I like painting skulls and red things 💀🥀

Little thread of my Maelle cosplay from MCM & general photo dump from the con. I made the cosplay from a bunch of primark jeans, a re-tailored (and painted) dress shirt, about 15 meters of bias tape, and a lot of prayers to the gods of craft...

I’m getting married in a few weeks but more importantly that means my old ttrpg table is getting back together and doing a one shot and I have to get a new PC designed aaaahhhhhhhh

Back home and absolutely shattered but MCM was a blast. I have probably 200 pictures and so much loot to sort through 🥖❤️🤺

I’m not crying, you’re crying

Some trading cards of my Light Cleric I’ll have at MCM 🥰 Left is original 5e campaign and right is BG3 version

Going to be Maelle at MCM London this year! Nearly done, just the cape to go (pray for me)

Thanks @pixlriffs.bsky.social for the streams while I was sewing furiously.

Bringing this account back from the dead bc maybe I'll post some life stuff and art stuff and nerd stuff. I dunno... But I do know I'm very normal and fine about Clair Obscur and I'm trying to figure out CSP

@confusatron.bsky.social look what Adam got me!! Didn’t we play the original like 5 years ago when I was real sad and you were looking after me? That was so much fun haha

Me today: I want to draw! I have so many ideas.
My brain: *insert the monkey with cymbals gif*

Okay I guess not then

Leaving some work from my degree here so this doesn’t feel so empty…
