@hotgpod.bsky.social I was looking for some information in the podcast archive (I love that every episode is transcribed btw) and noticed something strange: episode 94 (the post-Hohenstaufen Q&A) is completely missing from the archive. It's not found in either season 4 or 5 either.

The big beach kiss from Love Galaxy by @sierrabranham.bsky.social ! This book is delightful and wonderfully gay and you should absolutely read it. #MyArt #LoveGalaxy #LGBTArt #Lesbian #Kiss #Watercolour

A watercolour painting depicting Spie Expani and Temmi Ialan from Love Galaxy intertwined in an intense kiss on a beach at dusk. Temmi is a dark-skinned human woman with cerulean blue hair in a chin-length bob. Spie is a pale-skinned homan woman with dark hair tied back in a long queue. They have their legs wrapped around each other's hips, Spie's legs going over Temmi's, and Spie is running her hands through Temmi's hair while Temmi has hers on Spie's light purple shorts. They are blushing as they kiss. The sky is pink with an orange glow at the horizon at dusk, and the sea looks purple in the lighting. The first stars are visible in the sky. In the distance there are green grassy dunes.

I drew the main characters of Love Galaxy! The above two are Temmi/Artemis Ialan, before and after the make-over forced upon her as part of her being a contestant on the show. Below her are Spie and Nix Expani, princess and prince of the Expan Empire. #LoveGalaxy

Four character designs done in pencil, coloured using coloured pencil. The top two are of the same character, Artemis Ialan. She is drawn with light-brown skin, a wide nose, and curly blue hair. In the pre-make-over pic, her hair is dark blue and heavily curly, somewhat messy and not all the same length, while in the post-makeover version it has been shortened to chin-length, is merely wavy, and now a light cerulean. Her eyebrows have also been changed heavily and in general her face bears a lot of make-up now. Spie Expani, in the lower left, has long black hair slung over her shoulder in an elegant ponytail, a sharp face with prominent cheekbones, light skin, a sharp nose, and a half-smirk. She is wearing crimson jewelry, a bunch of triangular necklaces and a set of pearls along the hairline. Nix Expani, next to her, has somewhat similarly handsome features, but short curly hair and a generally slightly softer look. He wears glasses and a more concerned expression.

Antarctica, 108 million years ago. A group of Leaelynnasaura is fascinated by the bright spot that appeared on the Moon's night side as a large meteorite struck it, forming the Tycho crater. #Paleoart #Leaelynnasaura #Moon #MyArt #Sunset #Watercolour #Dinosaur #Cretaceous

A watercolour painting depicting four Leaelynnasaura looking up at the crescent Moon low above a sunset horizon. On the dark side of the Moon's surface, a while past the bright crescent, there is a prominent yellow-white mark glowing in the dark, somewhat resembling a star shape. The sky around the Moon is dark, but below it, nearer the horizon, its colour transitions to blue through purple. There are distant mountains coloured a very similar blue, and closer green trees. The Leaelynnasaura are depicted as small bipedal ornitischians with brown protofeathers that give them good camouflage in their natural environment, and a long tail going through a series of cream-and-brown stripes before culminating in a bright yellow plume. They have a little blue 'bandit mask' and a beak. The closest Lealynnasaura is near enough that we can see the Moon's reflection in its eye. The most distant Leaelynnasaura has climbed into a tree and seems to be reaching for the Moon.

A Peteinosaurus shows off on a Williamsonia atop a small overgrown cliff, unaware of the Procompsognathus climbing the cliff to sneak up on him. Behind and below them, a Paratypothorax has come to her favourite stream to drink. #Paleoart #Triassic #MyArt #Dinosaur #Pterosaur #Pseudosuchan

A watercolour painting looking diagonally downward at a jagged, cliffy landscape. The foreground of the painting is taken up by the upper parts of an island-like cliff. Its steep sides are jagged and rocky and there is a Procompsognathus climbing upward. It is a small, coelophysid dinosaur - two legged, though it is using its front paws to climb up too. Aside from the head and feet, it is covered in brown protofeathers that resemble fur. Its tail is brown-and-white striped. Its head and feet are greyish-green, with a blue 'bandit mask' across the face. The Procompsognathus has nearly reached the forested clifftop and is about to bite the dangling tail of one of three Peteinosauruses. They are small, basal pterosaurs with large, slightly boxy heads and short wings. They are sitting on top of trees on the clifftop. Two of them are perched and watching the third Peteinosaurus - the one whose tail is about to be bitten - stand up with its wings extended in display. They are different shades of reddish-brown, with the displaying one nearly yellow with orange markings on its wings. On the left side of the watercolour, past the edge of the cliff, we can see another, lower cliff in the background. A narrow stream of water descends to it over a waterfall, then runs horizontal for a few metres, and then falls off in another waterfall. At the horizontal bit, a Paratypothorax is about to drink. It is a heavily armoured aetosaur - a herbivorous crocodile relative. It is a grey, quadrupedal animal with an armoured back and a pointy snout. A series of ridges are visible along its back. It is drinking next to a large mossy boulder. Further up at the upper waterfall, a dead tree is suspended by rocks, heavily mossed where the waterfall comes close to it. The rocky terrain in the painting is dominated by red tints, while the plants are mostly conifers.

A Psittacosaurus wants to get to a tree claimed by a group of Sinosauropteryxes, but they’re having none of it. Meanwhile, a Yutyrannus takes a much-needed bath, some Elanodactyluses fly past, and a pack of Euhelopus have dinner. #Paleoart #Cretaceous #Sinosauropteryx #Psittacosaurus #MyArt

A watercolour depicting a Psittacosaurus trying to climb up to a tree on a slight incline. But at the base of the tree is a group of Sinosauropteryx. One of them makes a threat display at the Psittacosaurus, the others don't seem particularly welcoming either. The scene is set at sunset.

6 million years ago, the Mediterranean got cut off from the oceans, dried up and became a deep,dry,salty lowland. But 5.3 million years ago, the Strait of Gibraltar formed and the entire sea refilled in a massive flood. This depicts the early days of said flood. #Paleoart #Neogene #MyArt #Gibraltar

A watercolour painting depicting a southward view from the tip of the rock of gibraltar, 5.3 million years ago. Where the strait of Gibraltar currently is, there is instead a gigantic waterfall producing much mist. The bottom of the waterfall cannot be seen in the mist, and downstream from it only vague glimpses of a great mudslide can be glimpsed through the mist. Large chunks of land are breaking off from the southern side of the forming strait and falling into the mist, most of them surrounded by tiny distant falling trees and rocks. Fish and a distant humpback whale are visible falling in the cascade too. There are a few white sea birds visible trying to catch the fish. Above the ocean surface four Pelagornis fly. They are very large birds with narrow black wings and white bodies. In the foreground, a gerbil, mouse, wall lizard, barbary macaque, and beetle are visible on the tip of the Rock of Gibraltar. They are watching the distant catastrophe with a concerned yet mesmerised look, except for the beetle which is going about its beetly business. The weather is overcast and the colours are a bit muted.

The flame inside Burned Grey beginning to come out in a moment of fury. This is an illustration from Kiss the Burned Grey archiveofourown.org/works/62265093 #SlayThePrincess #stpBurnedGrey #stpArt #MyArt

A pencil art of the Burned Grey from Slay the Princess. Her mouth is open as she speaks and there's an intense expression on her ghostly face. Stars made of fire blaze in her eyes, their light visible through her nose and mouth as well. The background is dark, but the nearer it gets to her face the more it turns to the colour of fire.

In a dense Sequoia forest where the darkness is broken by only a single solarbeam, a Caihong curiously inspects a Kalligrammatid, seeing a face not unlike its own staring back from the strange insect’s transparent wings. #Caihong #Kalligrammatidae #Paleoart #Jurassic #MyArt

A highly contrasted watercolour depicting a Caihong, a small feathered dinosaur, looking at a Kalligrammatid in a Sequoia tree while other Kalligrammatids fly around. The background is black and the foreground is lit sharply from behind, showing only silhouettes and transparent wings. Caihong is covered in bright blue and green feathers on its neck and head, while dimmer blue feathers dominate on its back and wings. The Kalligrammatid in the tree has large yellow-and grey wings that mimic the head of a maniraptoran dinosaur. They have a sharp dividing line resembling a mouth with teeth along their middle and a bright blue eyespot. A second member of the species is flapping around. Other Kalligrammatids are flying around too; several of them have eyespots. One of them instead has many smaller white spots amidst a dark area on the edge of its wings. Their wings are transparent and form the brightest parts of the image with their backlighting, only dimming where they are shaded by the insects' bodies or another wing behind them. Although their wings do resemble those of butterflies, they are clearly separate unlike those of butterflies, and the hindwings in particular are swept further backwards. The insects' bodies, although mostly only visible in silhouette, resemble those of other lacewings rather than butterflies.

Whenever I see art featuring Razor rocking a ton of cleavage, I always feel like her rib blades are about to unfold and skewer me, so I decided to draw exactly that. This one's also an illustration for Kiss the Razor! archiveofourown.org/works/568573... #SlayThePrincess #stpRazor #MyArt #stpArt

A pencil sketch depicting the Razor from Slay the Princess. She is a sharp-angled Princess with the ability to unfold her bones into metal blades. In the left panel, she is looking down a bit while touching her elbows together, pushing her boobs together and emphasising her cleavage with a smile on her face. In the second panel, she has thrown her arms wide and six blades have emerged from her chest, leaving long horizontal wounds along it, and her grin has turned wicked, showing off her razor-sharp metal teeth.

On a rainy Devonian day, a Tiktaalik father guards his eggs in a small forest river. Meanwhile, his hunting mate has her eye on a Bothriolepis. Another Bothriolepis is eating something buried in the river sediment, drawing the attention of a Coccosteus. #Tiktaalik #Devonian #paleoart #MyArt

A watercolour showing a scene partially under water and partially above it. The water's surface breaks the frame about three quarters of the way up. Underwater, the scene is dominated by a Tiktaalik - a large grey lobe-finned fish with a broad, triangular head. Its body is diagonal to the viewer, but its face stares straight at us with its mouth open in threat. Its eyes are small and close together. It it slightly propper up on its front fins and its tailfin has a display structure featuring a light-coloured stripe and a blueish stripe. All around it is a dense patch of Chara algae, long stalks that branch into bunches of leaf-like structures several times (typically four times but some of the algae depicted differ). Several of the algal leafs around the Tiktaalik are speckled with small white eggs. Further in the background, the forest river's water and the algae prevent us from seeing very much. What is visible are another Tiktaalik and three smaller fish: two Bothriolepis, placoderms with a vaguely mandolin-shaped body and long frontal fins. One of them is kicking up a cloud of dust around it as it digs into the sediment. The other is farther away and near the second Tiktaalik - who is mostly hidden behind a sunken log and looking at the distant Bothriolepis. The final visible fish, a Coccosteus, is about the same size as the Bothriolepis and swimming towards the nearer one. The surface of the water is showing the impact of many raindrops. In the top quarter of the watercolour, we can see the forested shores of the river, obscured by a lot of rain. The right bank is closest and its nearest part is a muddy shore overgrown by Rhacophyton, a somewhat fern-like plant, and Archaeopteris trees can be seen on its far side. They grow straight from the ground without side branches until they suddenly branch out into a series of horizontal flat round canopies. A few small spiders can be spotted on the shores.

Mighty Anomalocaris stirs, spreading dust and terror throughout the Cambrian sea. Opabinia, Hallucigenia, Pikaia, Canadia, Burgessia, Marella, and Elrathia can only hope the rocks and ridges they cover behind will hide them. #Cambrian #Paleoart #MyArt #Anomalocaris

A watercolour painting of an underwater scene depicting a bunch of Cambrian organisms. Central and by far the largest of them all is Anomalocaris, a strange brown arthropod with long, curved mouthparts and many wavy swimming limbs. It is lit from behind and casts a dark, ominous shadow over most of the scene, while a cloud of brown dust emanates around it. The other creatures are all far smaller and all arranged to look at Anomalocaris in a rocky undersea landscape with several sponges. They include Opabinia, a bizarre colourful creature with five eyes; Hallucigenia, a long purple wormy creature with yellow spikes on its back and five pairs of feet; Pikaia, a worm-like pale grey chordate with a thickened area on its back; Canadia, a spiny purple worm-like creature; Burgessia, a round green arthropod with a long tail and antennae on a higher rock than most others; Marella, an arthropod with many long curved bits arranged in vaguely T-like shapes; and Elrathia, a ruddy trilobite. Each of them has some sort of rock or small ridge between them and the much larger Anomalocaris. The foreground is largely brown where the light falls on it, and the background behind Anomalocaris is blue sea, brighter towards the upper left where the light is coming from. The shadows are dark and ominous, especially the ones cast by Anomalocaris.

A pencil illustration depicting the Fury and the Long Quiet from Slay the Princess. She is a tall, flayed, demonic Princess and he is a much smaller bird-like creature. He is crying into his knees and the arms wrapped around them, and she has awkwardly reached out a hand to his shoulder to comfort him, while looking generally unsure of herself.

350k years ago, just beyond the western edge of the icy Schwarzwald, spring has come to the mammoth steppe. A raven flies over a group of mammoths enjoying a cold bath in the river, while a Megaloceros grazes on some choice plants growing on the riverbanks. #Mammoth #Pleistocene #Paleoart #MyArt

A watercolour depicting a flowering steppe landscape in spring on the edge of a snowy mountain range. It is a sunny day, there are many colourful flowers amidst the grasses, and a small river runs meandering through the left side of the image, starting in a valley in the mountains. A raven flies over the entire scene. Below it, there are steppe mammoths bathing in the river. There are seven of them: four adults, all with tusks though one of them has a broken tusk, and three calfs of various sizes. They are large, furry brown elephants, though not as furry as woolly mammoths and with straighter tusks. Two of them are spraying water from their snouts and they are all having a good time. Across the river, a Megaloceros is kneeling to eat some riverbank plants. It is a large deer with extremely impressive antlers. In the lower right corner are two roe deer, quite small compared to the megafauna, keeping an eye on their surroundings. Further in the background we see a herd of steppe bison. They are large, beefy bovids with a big bump on their backs. There are about twenty of them, mostly adults but some smaller young mixed in, and they leave a muddy trampled and grazed trail behind them. Even farther away there are four wolves observing the bison. Behind the wolves the mountains start. Very soon after the landscape's height starts increasing, it becomes snow-covered, and barely any bare rock is visible on the icy mountains. Several birds and the gibbous Moon are visible in the clear blue sky. One is a circling buzzard, a brown bird of prey. The other is a flock of six geese flying to the left.

@graham.loadingreadyrun.com Your recent Winter games branding review reminded me I found Magique and Shuss displayed in museums in Chambéry and Grenoble last year! It was a delightful little 'Hey, I know those guys from Graham's video' moment.

A plushie of Magique, the 1992 olympic mascot. A little star-shaped fellow wearing a blue ski-suit and a red hat.

Shuss, the 1968 Grenoble olympics mascot. A strange little guy with no limbs, a ski built into his body, and a bulbous red head abstractly representing a skier.
