Mind Over Matter Principle.

A half-body illustration of Dina in a realistic style and palette. She is facing towards the viewing, caught in the middle of lifting his shirt over and off of his head. Her face is partially obscured by the white T-shirt, leaving only her mouth and nose visible. Dina is toned and slightly muscular, with scars across her torso and arms and body hair. He has bright orange blocky tattoos wrapping across his body. He is also wearing dark blue jeans and an off-brown belt, with a bronze carabiner hooked into one of her belt loops. The background is white with a textured noise filter overlayed and a black box directly behind Dina that she is stretching outside of. Below the box is black text that reads “Fig 5.11— Anterior view of the torso. Damage to lungs and lower intestinal tact visible superficially. (This is not real.)”

The same illustration except now in silhouette. All notable features have been removed and a flat palette of off-gray and black has been used for Dina’s skin and clothes. A bright white branching nervous system has been drawn over his body, with the bottom portion of his brain visible before the shirt cuts it off. There are five lines drawn to specific points on the body and from the top down are labeled “Median nerve, Cerebellum, Radial nerve, Iliohypogastric nerve, Femoral nerve.” The background is the same as the last one except the text at the bottom reads, Fig. 5.12— Applied anatomy of the central and peripheral nervous system of the trunk. (This is real.)”

hai :3 back with more faceless drawings of dina's tattoos and this time i actually share my thoughts on them woohoo!!

When designing them I wanted to go for a much more industrial, black-out look for them as opposed to something more detailed and intricate. They’re hard and heavy and in your face. They serve a purpose and are not meant to look pleasing or inspire anything but wariness. Imo the same way you don’t stop to marvel at the way a road sign is designed, regene tattoos have one purpose and that’s to inform you what you’re looking at is something to be wary of... Didn't stop me from making them look cool, but I imagine since they're standardized depending on the kind of regene that they are pretty to-the-point and featureless beyond bits necessary for identification.

it’s also cuckoo crazy for cocoa puffs how any time there’s a sardonic “name one [member of an under-represented group]” post, 100,000 tumblrinas will triumphantly Name One as if that actually addresses the complaint or exonerates them from the culture that generated it. you’re NOT passing!

on some more gentle book criticism it's wild that both of wu zetian's love interests in iron widow are highly educated & there are references to the aesthetics and structures of a scholar system, but there is utterly no casual reciting of classics, tactics, nor poetry from anyone. there are references to adapted forms of the classics, but it doesn't inform how characters talk or think (li shimin seems more like a guy who never got education than someone who memorizes poems to the point it destroyed his vision). I understand the whole "peasant frontier girl half literate" thing to an extent (even though it feels an odd choice) but there aren't even like idioms really. it feels very simplistic & uniform in characters' speaking style, and the world, language, and culture all read very flat because of that. tacticians like sima yi, an lushan, and zhuge liang too might have a more creative way to call someone a bitch or what is the point of reimagining them in this world is all I'm saying.

i think there was also a big miss of not even referencing half of the incredibly funny things that a star studded historical fiction cast could provide like zhuge liang never did something funny with a feather fan? no one had to bother him into working? no pranks with corpses? where is his ugly intelligent wife?

why not posture that an lushan's son gave the thumbs up on his murder? historically accurate and hilarious
