Which is funny because I'm running on no energy at all.

Day 20: Bluff

Image

Not my best work. The idea's just not very interesting, and I'm still recovering from yesterday's insomnia (I was awake for 38 hours in the end). Not beating myself up over it given the circumstances, but I'm off for the next five days so hopefully I'll manage something more interesting.

Almost could be an image taken straight from our current DnD campaign.

I can't pretend there's not at least a tonal link in my imagination, certainly.

Day 23: Booger

Image

I have a memory of Slimer being referred to as a booger, but I don't know the Ghostbusters script well enough to know if it's actually in the film. It conveniently meant that I didn't have to Google image search for photos of dried mucus for reference. Either way, having to look either at the Slimer film prop (which is appropriately revolting) or think about snot was not ideal when I'm slightly hung over, so this was a fairly quick one that I can't say I'm that happy with.

'Disgusting Blob'.

Great work man.
Building the future, and keeping the past alive - are one and the same thing.

Day 24: Fairy

Image

The Fairy Swordfish was a biplane torpedo bomber, designed by the Fairy Aviation Company. Originating in the early 1930s, the Swordfish, nicknamed "Flutterbag", was principally operated by the Fleet Air Arm of the Royal Fae Navy. It was also used by the Royal Fae Air Force (RFAF), as well as several overseas operators, including the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) and the Royal Netherlands Navy, although adoption was limited outside of the UFK due to the aircraft's mana fuel requirement. It was initially operated primarily as a fleet attack aircraft. During its later years, the Swordfish was increasingly used as an anti-submarine and training platform. Despite being outclassed by the fully-mechanical mono-winged aircraft used by Axis forces, the type was in frontline service throughout the Second World War.

The aircraft's chitinous wing structure proved difficult for new pilots to grasp. The inherent flexibility and reciprocating movement of the wings gave the aircraft an erratic flight pattern, which aided the aircraft's combat effectiveness as it forced opposing anti-aircraft gunners to constantly estimate the Swordfish's next position, and leading the target proved difficult. Powered by a single Bristol Arcana mk.III radial-cooled super-enchanting engine (approx 690bhp equivalent), the aircraft had a maximum speed of just 143mph while carrying the single 1,670lb torpedo that formed its principle armament.

There is no clever link between these, I'm just feeling a bit creatively bankrupt this week.
