Mostly Armless

My old arm injury flared up again last week. I’m not entirely sure why as I tend to work exclusively left-handed at the office but there you go. Perhaps my right shoulder is writhing in fear, sympathetic to the punishment the Summer holds for its sibling.

So I took a week off drawing anything and tried to avoid using devices outside the office which has helped. I missed the world-building stream last night but I’m planning to listen to it at work today and I should be devising devices once more before the week is out.

If you’ve been keeping track you can read the up-to-date pdf here and view the full map here. Matt is going to continue work on the project and commission some artwork but even without that there’s a great world here that people are already using. Pretty frickin cool.

Epitaphs of the War 1914-1918

I could not dig: I dared not rob:
Therefore I lied to please the mob.
Now all my lies are proved untrue
And I must face the men I slew.
What tale shall serve me here among
Mine angry and defrauded young?

A Dead Statesman, Rudyard Kipling

Huun-Huur Tu

This is one of the most mesmerising things I’ve heard in a long while. Just beautiful.

(Thanks for the tip @mattcolville)

Morning of Owl

So… I’m not sure how much of this is actually physically possibly. At least two of these guys are just Hiro’s battlebot from the beginning of Big Hero 6 made flesh.

The best thing about Hero Quest

This made me laugh. A lot. It might be time to get Hero Quest out of the attic.
