The horror. THE HORROR

The always amazing @eschergirls recently ran some contests, challenging people to think up explanations for what’s happening in the full sized art.

While no mortal can ever make sense of that concept, they did do a fantastic job of adding much needed comic relief to this horror. *

* Some part of me still desperately hopes the artist intended this as a subversive work of horror.

Knight-mage Chell, portaling her way through an ancient dungeon full of traps

I genre-swapped Portal for an art challenge, and it may or may not have become a whole AU…and there may or may not be a part 2 on the way. Or should I say, a part DOS

Re-designing the portal gun and long fall boots into more fantasy-appropriate forms was a fun challenge

I really, really like this outfit for it’s convincing design, use of a gambeson and signature aesthetics without compromising effectiveness.

In fact the only thing that I don’t like about it is now I really, really want to play a fantasy AU Portal game starring Knight-Mage Chell.

I always enjoy the creativity that goes into redesigning characters from different genres as medieval fantasy knights. Some of them, like the Sailor Scouts and the Crystal Gems, were already featured in our cartoony armor tag 🙂

Love my character on Black Desert but omg I hate when she smiles xD 
I wonder what @bikiniarmorbattledamage would think of her armour, considering she’s the sorceress and is meant to be in melee range.

This armor looks kind of familiar…. only it’s actually less practical.  Somehow.

Based off the changes, I think in another 27 years we’ll see “armor” that is just basically a copy of the costume from a certain music video also released in 1989.

I’m so glad we have people out there looking to make sure nobody encroaches on mainstream video games’ creative freedom.

More on Black Desert Online on BABD

@strawberryshakeus directed us to this thread which combined the usual claims that men can’t be empowered with a bizarre implied narrative that Star Sapphires (Pink Lanterns in all but name) shouldn’t have male members because they’re powered by Love (as opposed to Willpower for Green Lanterns or Rage for Red Lanterns).  

Failing that, if male Star Sapphires must be allowed in the game, they shouldn’t dress provocatively as female Star Sapphires tend to.

Can’t wait for the next troll critic to drop in and tell us that double standards aren’t really a thing.

Come on, who wouldn’t want to look up and see that bold man defending their city!?

Sadly, DC seems to share the double standard sentiment
