[ID: Two nearly identical drawings of a person (Argie) staring directly at the viewer, only one eye visible through round glasses. They have black hair with white streaks, and a sweater vest with a collared shirt and tie. they have an eye collar pin with a small chain connecting them. The first image has them colored in, a blue circle haloing their head and the sweater vest is yellow. The second image is nearly completely black and white, except for the yellow circle./End ID]

i missed drawing my ocs

2 AM and I’ve never drawn anything Minecraft-related before. What a wild ride. Goodnight everybody.

Guess I’m falling into Wheatgil hell too

Based on a conversation about the shellphone I had a few weeks back

[ID: two doodles of portal au Victor, a short android man/End ID]

this was really just an excuse to draw jumpsuits again. it was either this or more astronauts /hj

Playing around with designs. Rainbow’s designed to look comfortable and warm, someone easy to talk to. Virgil’s is recolored to match his core’s age and appearance, dressed like the scientists who work on the cores in Lab Rat are, considering Virgil fixes up the other cores around Aperture. :)

Posting my art on reddit is an experience because I get creepy messages saying that the women characters should wear less clothing and it’s like oh? You think I made them straight? You think they’d want you?

Birth to My Creation

mais en français ??????

Anyways yeah instead of paying attention in class I decided to translate the second half of Birth to My Creation from Frankenstein: A New Musical into French for fun. There are certainly some lines that are more clunky and weirdly translated as I tried to keep somewhat similar to the original syllable counts and rhyming scheme and couldn’t think of a better translation, but lyrics are under the cut:

French Lyrics:

Prométhée a volé le feu des dieux Il a osé sauver tout l'homme Et tout comme ce mythe- Ma mission délimite Et écrit un nouveau demain!

Mes années d'études sans fin ni pause Se termineront par cette tempête Le monde sera changé par la médecine et mes enquêtes

La vie éternelle… réanimation… La mort j'asservis La plus belle œuvre de toute la science Le corps, les os, l'esprit

Le zénith de la tempête est enfin là, Et avec ma préparation Un choc nécessaire à son coeur pour faire La vie de ma création

La vie éternelle... réanimation... La mort il asservit La plus belle œuvre de toute la science: le corps, les os, le-

Ce jour qui vient a battu les ténèbres L'aube des plusieurs révélations Ici et maintenant... j'ai provoqué... La naissance d'un nouveau sauveur!

Un sauveur

Un sauveur

Un sauveur-------!

English Translation:

Prometheus stole fire from gods He dared to save all of mankind And just like this myth, my mission defines And writes a new tomorrow

My years of study without end nor pause Will come to end with this storm The world will be changed by medicine and my inquiries

Eternal life... reanimation... Death, I enslave The most beautiful work in all of science The body, the bones, the mind

The peak of the storm is finally here And with my preparation A necessary shock to his heart to make The life of my creation

Eternal life... reanimation... Death, he enslaves The most beautiful work in all of science The body, the bones, the-

This coming day has defeated the darkness The dawn of many revelations Here and now... I have facilitated... The birth of a new savior!

A savior

A savior

A savior-------!

Comments:

I am not a song writer nor a translator and I didn’t want to stray too far from the original lyrics even though song translations often change things around a whole bunch, so take this as a fun little side project, not anything serious. There are some things that bug me (I really wanted to keep “La vie éternelle… réanimation…” since it fits so nicely but “La réanimation” was too clunky, so...)

There are some other lines where it’s like “this is a weird way to word this, but the rhyme...it’s so sweet” which I’m just going to stick with. I was also trying to go for wording that didn’t require referring to Victor as a member of mankind -- it’s the birth of a new savior, not our new savior -- without explicitly referring to Victor as a god himself. That said, I was also thinking of savior as in the Christianity “Jesus the savior, the son of God” way.

Oh, and since the second “La vie éternelle” segment isn’t sung by Victor himself, I changed that one from saying “I enslave” to “He enslaves.”

Anyways that’s just a bit of my thought process while making this. As stated, some of the lines are...ehhh, so I don’t mind if anyone sees this, steals a couple lines, and then rewrites the rest haha. Like I said, this was just for fun and I didn’t spend very long on it so there’s definitely room for improvement!
