Introducing, Lyesse Var Terrefta, your not-always-friendly, not-always-neighborly necromancer.

Wanna know about her? Read below.

Lyessa Var Terrefta, or just Lye for short, is a politician who is also a necromancer. She works at the local city hall as a secretary, keeping records straight and schedule on track, but she also serves a secondary role as a member of the City Defense Agency. Being in the woods means monsters are not an infrequent problem, thus her use of necromancy has helped keep sectors of the city not easily accessible by other forms of the City Defense Agency safe.

I'm currently unsure of her sexuality, but I was thinking of hetero-leaning-asexual as she doesn't see too much need to socialize as such but knows she'd rather be with a man if she did. She's got a nippy and blunt personality, and lacks a ton of patience for people she interacts with. However, she does understand that toning it down is useful for cooperation.

She and Civil are housemates, with Civil and her having met in college and deciding that due to financial needs to co-own a house together. This may lead to some interesting interactions as the nippy-and-blunt personality of Lye interacts with Civil's friendly-and-loose demeanor. Due to this, their relationship is entirely platonic. Plus I've been thinking that Civil is leaning more gay than bi recently.

I'm currently creating a small world where anthros and magic are the norm, but set in the modern day. She will live here, as well as with Civil, in a mythical version of my home city. I'm also planning to create a few more characters, at minimum a co-worker for Lye, and best friend for Civil, and a boyfriend for Civil, to eventually embark on maybe trying to make short animations or comics out of it.

Lye is based on a DND character I played where she was a politician in charge of her nation's defense agency as a necromancer. She was a very powerful wizard until she got isekai-ed to another world where she basically reset to level 1 and had to regain both her magical and political power. She was one of my favorite characters, trying to play the stealthy wizard who used necromancy for larger fights, and tried to talk her way out of others.

This is an in-progress model, and so there are definitely still some issues with it. However, much like the Civil model, its now at a state that I'm happy to start messing around with and trying to make art. Improvements will be made incrementally as I find them and deem the need to fix or add to her model.

Do you have a favourite calculator?

*Insert Legend of Zelda Chest opening song*

You got the TI-36X Pro!

By far my favorite calculator if we don't include Excel as an option. It's got so many functions: statistics of data sets, easy dimensional analysis, powerful functions like logs and derivatives, variable solving, its just keeps going. Plus it's not a graphing calculator, so I used it for every test I took in college and got to use its powerful functions. It's only disallowed in tests where you have to use a very dumb pocket calculator, in my experience.

If we include Excel, it wins easily. No better tool for keeping math straight and doing iterative functions. Also making models in Excel that are easy to reuse for similar projects with a few changed variables are awesome. Sadly, you can't use Excel for tests, nor is it easy to use like a calculator, so the TI-36X Pro is my winner for a normal calculator.

The extent required to glue a helmet together when you aren't exactly a maker of props like this.

Mix of camera clamps, binder clips, a woodwork clamp, several pieces of wood, DND books, and 25lb barbells.

End result is supposed to be a Darth Nox helmet for a friend.

Booty McTooty

Ya got me there. Wait until I finish the piece, probably find plenty more to roast me for.

Slurp

Guess the mattress was hungry and decided to eat the pillow, lol.

WIP for practicing making objects and textures, trying to recreate my bedroom with some pretty high detail.

I have found a new glueing method: giving Nox an 80s style headband. And maybe a head ornament in the shape of a PVC pipe.

Goodnight sweet prince, wake up a glued helmet tomorrow.
