    Artists of The Escapist.... I have a question about how you take jobs...

    I wish I had a decent example of one of my old sheets for a commission, but when it comes to getting what you want from an artist, giving them as much detail as possible is a major boon. What I do is, I go find images with whatever parts I need, be it a shirt, a pair of shoes, maybe an...

    Relatively lighthearted fantasy book recommendations?

    I'm not sure if the count on the first universe, as I know there are the two five-parters (Belgariad & Mallorean), plus the two Prologues featuring two of the oldest characters and their exploits, a third called "The Rivan Codex" which is less a story and more a collection of information about...

    Relatively lighthearted fantasy book recommendations?

    I believe the biggest draw of the Belgariad and such is the characters. There is quite a few interesting characters, and the way they interact with each other and other people is fun and even witty at times. Besides that, it's a story that involves a lot of travel and magic. I'm a little bad at...

    Relatively lighthearted fantasy book recommendations?

    I'll be a third to recommend David & Leigh Eddings' work, specifically The Belgariad. My favorite fantasy novels, and probably fits your criteria quite well. Five books in the Belgariad, five in the second series The Mallorean, then two post-story prequels (?) that sort of go over stuff that...

    Magic Origins: Designing the Swan Song of Core Sets

    I love reading these MTG articles and posts, especially right now when I can't really afford to buy cards. When I saw the Transform Planeswalker card I did flip though, I got a sudden rush of hype at the prospect of cards that represent the Spark awakening in a person transforming them into a...

    Hearthstone Adds Cosmetic Alternate Hero Skins For $10 Each

    While I wouldn't be keen to pay that price (unless I diehard loved the character) I don't think it sounds too crazy. I'd love to see a breakdown of all the assets to see how they estimated their costs of the art and how much is profit though.

    Favorite Youtube Cooking Channels?

    Pretty sure the only cooking channels I'm subscribed to are Nerdy Nummies [https://www.youtube.com/user/RosannaPansino] and Epic Meal Time [https://www.youtube.com/user/EpicMealTime]. Nerdy Nummies is a fun geeky-themed baking show with sometimes guests and yummy looking fun treats, while Epic...

    This is really bugging me!!

    Ogami has it right with "Kyuuketsuki", which is indeed Hentai as assumed. Looks to be an OVA with only 2 episodes, the second one being animated by a different company. Among the screenshots for it I managed to see a clear-quality version of what you posted, which makes me think that the...

    F Zero?

    I had a lot of fun playing F-Zero between the SNES version and the Gamecube one, so I'd be down for another racer. But I feel like my first choice for racers would always be Mario Kart. BUT, make an awesome F-Zero racer that is pretty much like GX, some new tracks, and have it be a...

    Recommend me a DS game please

    I'd say, if you haven't already, pick up Golden Sun and Golden Sun 2 for the GBA. Then, grab Golden Sun: Dark Dawn on the DS. Nice little trilogy of RPGs, and should keep you more then busy blowing through all three. If you play Pokemon, I'd recommend HeartGold/SoulSilver, DS remakes of...

    Am I missing the April Fool's Day joke?

    Any reason that I'm still currently suffering from obnoxious April Fool's Day jokes despite it being April 6th? I don't see the need for flashing dog backgrounds and all that good stuff that just slows down the site and makes it a headache to navigate. Did someone screw up so badly that the site...

    YouTuber Angry Joe Says He's Done Reviewing Nintendo Games

    While I don't agree with Nintendo's business decisions concerning Youtube, and feel it would serve them better to let content creators make videos freely, I'm aware that they have a program in place to facilitate those who DO wish to make content. I'm quite sure that Angry Joe knows this as...

    Am I missing the April Fool's Day joke?

    I know that my timezone isn't universal, but my clock says 12:36am on APRIL 3RD! The site has been janky waaaaaay too long for *just* an April Fool's Day joke, and is a serious pain to even bother with.

    Am I missing the April Fool's Day joke?

    Pranks are, well, there has been a few goods ones so far, but a lot of them are lazy or boring. The Escapist's general forum frakery is one of the shitty ones. Guess I'll just quit coming to the site today, cause the black screen shit and all that just makes it a pain to use the site. Maybe...
