[ID: a digital drawing of a d&d gnome woman from the waist up. she has chin-length curly red hair that forms almost a triangle around her head, brown eyes and medium light skin. she’s wearing a blue poncho with a slit up one side, and a lighter blue infinity scarf with tassels all around the edge. she’s looking off to the side, with a small smile. /end ID]

this is @aladywholayswithmaidens‘ character in our Eberron campaign, (to the tune of frosty the snowman) Quartzite the Rock Gnome! she’s a beautiful flaming dorito and we love her. 

hi hello its me posting art from my eberron campaign again, bc i had quite a few sort of… in progress and waiting for me to be able to post without spoiling. anyway i love all these children So Very Much im v proud of all of them. they just got through a pretty spooky fight w some bears where three of them went down almost immediately, but they all lived and had a bear feast. also for breakfast bramble very impressively opened a jar of jam and p much everyone were just

from left to right, upper row: zhankei the half-orc bard, miro the halfling rogue, nice the drow ranger and iago the tiefling druid. lower row: quartzite the gnome sorcerer, chalcedony the shifter bloodhunter and bramble the halfling paladin. 

im DMing an online eberron campaign now, and at last, the whole gang is together and i can finally post my drawings of them all!!

i love them all very very much theyre very good in my entirely unbiased opinion, here they are, from left to right:

@aladywholayswithmaidens‘ Quartzite the rock gnome sorcerer who loves fire in all forms, mundane or magical, and also owns a huge mastiff named kitty (not pictured, but maybe one day). shes a beautiful flaming dorito who just wants Adventure.

@grandmafftarkin‘s Bramble the halfling paladin, intelligence of six, definitely knows what she’s doing, is most decidedly an aesthete, and loves the smashy smashy of both planes of existence and her warhammer smushing evil rats to the floor. 

@tamaslin‘s Iago, tiefling druid, both mysterious and awkward at the same time, somehow, magically. they’re not super knowledgeable about the world around, but they’re curious to find out! iago and quartzite are also the Cool Poncho Squad.

@flarechaser‘s Chalcedony, cat girl shifter bloodhunter with the floofiest tail in all of the land. kind of quiet and serious-looking, but also she immediately bought a hat (with a matching hat pin) and a bunch of fabric in the first two days of the campaign.

@kittengrantaire‘s Miro the halfling rogue, with his cheeky crooked grin and deck of cards and definitely nothing shady going on here, never, why would you think such a thing, he’s just here to have a good time.

@lesbianomens‘ Zhankei the half-orc bounty hunter bard, fashion over function, always, a rat tore a hole in her coat and she immediately obtained supplies to fix any future issues of any of her wardrobe. her hat and general sparkliness (or perhaps just luck of the dice) causes her to always have terrible perception, cant see anything, but shes Very Charming.

@hamlinart‘s Nice (very nice), drow ranger, also very fashionable, very about the Aesthetic, especially his matching pink accessories. Has an intricate metal magic/tech combo prosthetic arm and a wolf companion named Fancy. 

i wanna say so much more about all of them, but obvs its still early campaign days, so it’s all a lot of secret backstories, but i hope this at least gives an idea of them! and if feel like a proud DM parent showing everyone photos of my children, even though i guess technically they’re my players’ children. 

Steel and Quartizite Coffee Table

2022: The West MacDonnell Ranges, as photographed with new Mavic 2 Pro drone from Honeymoon Gap. Strike ridges of Heavitree Quartzite (~800Ma) delineate the east-west orientation of the range. They are overlain by the madly-folded formations of the Bitter Springs Group. The ranges were uplifted as part of the Alice Springs Orogeny (500Ma to 300Ma), which was unusual in that it occurred mid-continent as opposed to on a plate boundary.

myglyptothek: Faces of ancient Rome

Qasr El-Eny Hospital in the Garden City diplomatic quarter of central Cairo—an historic medical facility that was completely rebuilt between 1986-94, apparently with French assistance. The resulting complex is surfaced in pink-tinted quartz-cement tiling in what certainly appears to be an obvious homage to the textile blocks of Frank Lloyd Wright; the palatial form is a striking lookalike to the Wright’s demolished Imperial Hotel in Tokyo.
