Muscle memory. Subcutaneous fascia and myofascial conditioning. It's why people ten to cross their arms or legs the same way every time. You can tell a lot about a figure by which leg is prominent, which shoulder elevated or anterior, how their head and face are naturally cocked.

By difficult, I meant very slightly painful. Hence the feeling of discomfit and unnaturalness.
Which is odd, because usually the ligaments in my right hand act up...

I have that game somewhere... It's great for an eleven hour session of time wasting.
Novalith Cannons are overpowered against stupid AIs.
Anyway... Is that... A business card? I mean... It has a phone number on it...
Oh, and before I forget... Happy New Year.

I've been puzzling over this mess for several hours, and I think I've almost got it. Let's see, carry the 1, divide by Metal Mask, flip it turn-wise, and we get...
"Drink Your Ovaltine"

*ahem* It's a nice design. Good work and all that.

Day 599: Centaur Princesses
I had a really interesting dream last night.
An evil dragon kidnapped a bunch of princesses, and not knowing what to do with them, put them all in a tower. The princesses, out of boredom, started playing a tabletop RPG, with the centaur princess as the DM. Out of curiosity, the dragon joined in.
It was kind of like Arabian Nights with D&D. It was really sweet.

Day 603: World Traveller
World Maps are really, really hard. There's so many optical illusions and political biases. On the plus side, breaking the image down into proportions and basic shapes is a really helpful skill to have; I've had trouble fitting everything onto the page and continually expanded canvasses because I sketched wrong in the past. Framing.
Part of a larger WIP.

The downside to your blocking things off begins to show. For a small Chinese lady, she is very Rectangular. Especially in the pants and shoes, which are the places one would most expect organic curvature to show through. Although saying "Flick legs!" is a valid tactic.

The "British isles" are actually a verge out in the water created by a magical experiment on fairy telling itself.

Each guard carries exactly three pennies in their pockets and nothing else, ever.
World peace is disrupted whenever any one guard fails to polish said pennies to the appropriate luster during the waning gibbous moon. After world war two, a good thirty seen men were let go, two of them executed for willful, apocalyptic-scale treason.

You also forgot the Aral Sea, Cyprus, the Sinai, Sakhalin, the Malay Peninsula, Attica, Svalbard and numerous other places. But that's not as jarring as the complete absence of England.

That explains so much! But what about British people who move elsewhere?

Re: Thanqol Learns 2 Draw: Every Step Is The First
I think the real question is that if there never were any 'British' people, who founded all those colonies?
There's a genetically distinct Caucasian race sowing seeds of dominion across the planet, who never existed except as mythic archetypes in a spatial sinkhole off the coast of western Europe.
I dunno, maybe after years of advance psychotherapy and and having their worldview sabine by government wizards, they are managing to acclimate people to reality? Maybe like a small Matrix?
