Drakkenheim Is Not Going Well, Suffice To Say, And We Are Currently Getting Our Asses Kicked At The Cathedral.

Even witches have lab partners!  What were your favorite subjects in school?  Mine were – predictably – English and art, but I also liked science.  📚🎨🔬 I would’ve liked it even more if we somehow got to make little kitty blobs! ✨

A couple of clothing references for various NPCs I’ve put together for a post-apocalyptic D&D campaign I’m the DM for!

I know one of my players follows this blog and if she reads beyond this point I’m going to track her down and destroy her. :D

Top left: A scientific assistant android who was expected to stand around for a few hundred years until the people within the stasis tubes they were working for were released. Instead, they took off. Their appearance is flawless as it is a hologram over a mannequin-esque body.

Top right: A blind tiefling who wanders an abandoned city, slowly raiding medical centers with their seeing-eye cat in hope they’ll be able to stave off some of their worse injuries.

Bottom left: A magician/mechanic dwarf who scavenges parts and pieces from what he finds to try and rebuild machines to assist him.

Bottom right: A halfling sailor who rides a magically-powered ship seeking out survivors while avoiding the monsters that continue to lurk in the previously population-dense areas.

Birth to My Creation

mais en français ??????

Anyways yeah instead of paying attention in class I decided to translate the second half of Birth to My Creation from Frankenstein: A New Musical into French for fun. There are certainly some lines that are more clunky and weirdly translated as I tried to keep somewhat similar to the original syllable counts and rhyming scheme and couldn’t think of a better translation, but lyrics are under the cut:

French Lyrics:

Prométhée a volé le feu des dieux Il a osé sauver tout l'homme Et tout comme ce mythe- Ma mission délimite Et écrit un nouveau demain!

Mes années d'études sans fin ni pause Se termineront par cette tempête Le monde sera changé par la médecine et mes enquêtes

La vie éternelle… réanimation… La mort j'asservis La plus belle œuvre de toute la science Le corps, les os, l'esprit

Le zénith de la tempête est enfin là, Et avec ma préparation Un choc nécessaire à son coeur pour faire La vie de ma création

La vie éternelle... réanimation... La mort il asservit La plus belle œuvre de toute la science: le corps, les os, le-

Ce jour qui vient a battu les ténèbres L'aube des plusieurs révélations Ici et maintenant... j'ai provoqué... La naissance d'un nouveau sauveur!

Un sauveur

Un sauveur

Un sauveur-------!

English Translation:

Prometheus stole fire from gods He dared to save all of mankind And just like this myth, my mission defines And writes a new tomorrow

My years of study without end nor pause Will come to end with this storm The world will be changed by medicine and my inquiries

Eternal life... reanimation... Death, I enslave The most beautiful work in all of science The body, the bones, the mind

The peak of the storm is finally here And with my preparation A necessary shock to his heart to make The life of my creation

Eternal life... reanimation... Death, he enslaves The most beautiful work in all of science The body, the bones, the-

This coming day has defeated the darkness The dawn of many revelations Here and now... I have facilitated... The birth of a new savior!

A savior

A savior

A savior-------!

Comments:

I am not a song writer nor a translator and I didn’t want to stray too far from the original lyrics even though song translations often change things around a whole bunch, so take this as a fun little side project, not anything serious. There are some things that bug me (I really wanted to keep “La vie éternelle… réanimation…” since it fits so nicely but “La réanimation” was too clunky, so...)

There are some other lines where it’s like “this is a weird way to word this, but the rhyme...it’s so sweet” which I’m just going to stick with. I was also trying to go for wording that didn’t require referring to Victor as a member of mankind -- it’s the birth of a new savior, not our new savior -- without explicitly referring to Victor as a god himself. That said, I was also thinking of savior as in the Christianity “Jesus the savior, the son of God” way.

Oh, and since the second “La vie éternelle” segment isn’t sung by Victor himself, I changed that one from saying “I enslave” to “He enslaves.”

Anyways that’s just a bit of my thought process while making this. As stated, some of the lines are...ehhh, so I don’t mind if anyone sees this, steals a couple lines, and then rewrites the rest haha. Like I said, this was just for fun and I didn’t spend very long on it so there’s definitely room for improvement!

Bringing this one back after the Queen of Thieves BOMBED OUR HOUSE

A few months ago, Clip Studio Paint added the option to record a timelapse of your canvas, so I wanted to share my process for comic pages. It’s really fun to see 12 hours of on and off work condensed down into one minute! This one has a pretty simple background, so I may record some others later on as well where there’s some more stuff going on. We’ll see :)
