Some fanart of TheLoadingCrew's character "Princess Hime" from The Complete Waifu Handbook.

With Alexandria's long life I wonder what sort of misadventures she had gotten up to, maybe spending some time in Kurgess' domain?

Fanart of Okami's Ninetails "true form" as a anthro, Version without Namm. I may have mad her a little too thick and should have saved it for her "Powered up form". Can you tell which kanji I put in the background?

Okami is owned by Capcom Entertainment

More landscapes, Collage has ben stressful.

MTG Ramblings Snow Mana & Hybrid Costs

Snow Permanents, first introduced in Ice age with Snow Lands but Snow Creatures & Enchantments in Cold Snap, are a unusual type of super type. Snow Permanents care about there own special type of mana, usually designated with the {S}, it is not a mana type on its own but can only be generated by Snow Lands. For most of its life it has been only used for activation of abilities, as having cards that required Snow Mana as a casting cost and not having any in a draft would suck, but as per usual in Modern Horizens they experimented having two cards that have Snow Mana as there costs, those being Arcum's Astrolabe & Icehide Golem.

This is interesting due to it implying that it is a mana type on its own that requires very specific circumstances to use in creation/summoning of artifacts. The two other 2/2 Artifact Creatures that require 1 Mana are "Reinforced Ronin" while having hast must go back to the hand at the end of your turn, and "Thraben Gargoyle" has Defender that has a high transform cost.

I wonder if that Snow Mana is so obscure among the Plains & so hard to work with that unless you are a true expert that its nearly impossible to work with. That the Mana it's self is so slow & ridged that most magic users carve away the 'Snow' aspect of it to get to the mana they are use to working with underneath, but that if you have the patience that you can create something form the 'Other'. The Existence of the variety of Snow Permanents implies by its timeline that anything can become/be shaped into a Snow card, with Lands being the first to change as they do with the seasons, then the Creatures & the Enchantments they use follow as they adapt to the new environment, then after a time people adapt so now Instant & Sorceries are also now snow as they cold is something to be wielded, and finally Artifacts as one truly understands how Snow Mana works.

But I have to wonder if there is a way to cheat the system, that a thought came to me when panning threw my collection, could snow have hybrid mana? What brought this on was Shadowmore's "Advice from the Fae" & the rest of the Monocolor hybrid cycle, That if you don't have the right colors of mana that you can pump in more mana to make up for that. That forcing a Snow Perinates to be created but causing it to become excused/come out wrong, such as a Artifact that enters the Battlefield tapped unless you payed snow mana to cast it, or Instants that cannot be cast at instant speed or are less powerful unless you pay snow mana for them.

Still missing Snow Enchantment creatures WOTC….

Have been taking a break from doing landscapes and wanted to try my hand at more figures, at the same time I have been really been getting into Kantai Collection fanfiction over on SpaceBattles (, that’s why the final picture maybe familiar as it is my interpretation of that character).

Sorry for not posting anything lately, so have some cats.

"The path ahead isn't always obvious, subtle signs to point you on the right path. And some times it very blanketly is, shining like a star in the sky for all the world to see, Even then, there are those who will spend all there life with there head in the dirt refusing to see."

I'm Isekai trash, what else is new? She is Theresia from World's Strongest Rearguard: The Novice Seeker of Labyrinth Country. Its not a overly great or inventive series by any measure but it does have some interesting ideas, namely that everyone else is also from earth. And how death in this world works, some time when you die you become a demi-human as it strips away your humanity, so the stakes both get higher and lower with the threat of death.
