Another p*rny space elf
🕑 Added 2020-10-05 17:54:16 +0000 UTCHey all,
So as I said earlier in the week, I was away this weekend for a birthday. I had initially hoped that, on returning on Sunday, I'd be able to quickly push the third quick sketch out and/or do a random quick request but for some reason yesterday evening (and night) I felt like absolute ass and couldn't get anything done, also since the guest bed was in use at my parents' place I shared the couch with the family dog.
Not really by choice, he just climbed on there while I was asleep.
But it's a rather cramped space and I couldn't turn also that dog is stupid heavy and laying on the covers so I couldn't really move much at all, forcing me to lay in a rather awkward position right on top of my wrist.
That really hurt on waking up.
Still does, but at least today I can use my drawing hand again.
Background details aside as to why this is coming on a Monday, we return to good ol' Warhammer 40K again with another space elf. This busty Eldar gal now represents both our second Warhammer Alien chick entry, and is second in the space elf category.
And unlike the earlier Vulkans from Star Trek, Eldar are magic, like regular fantasy elves, on top of all the usual elf tropes that come with being a space elf.
The Eldar are an ancient race that ruled vast swathes of the galaxy for god-knows-how-long before humans entered the scene. Interestingly, humanity near the end of the Eldar reign was spreading across the galaxy quite far, to the point of being a major power already with technologies and superweapons that would make the "modern" Imperium of Man blush. But for some reason they never really clashed with the Eldar back then. Even though both races were big players and very widespread. In fact tech from that era (which came to be known as the Dark Age of Technology in retrospect) is highly dangerous, and highly, HIGHLY coveted, but also illegal in a lot of cases, especially A.I. A.I. is a term that to us stands for "Artificial Intelligence", but in the grim darkness of the far future it means "Abominable Intelligence" That's because pre Emperor humanity made heavy use of A.I. and in standard scifi fashion, the A.I. eventually rebelled.
This was right alongside the Eldar fall from their own seat of power in the galaxy. As they had grown quite decadent and perverse in their ages of ruling without challenge, and so accidentally orgied so fucking hard they birthed Slaanesh, the fourth chaos god right in the middle of their ehm... business. Slaanesh proceeded to murderrape her way through the entire Eldar pantheon and all the Eldar present, and the result of its violent birth left the warp, humanity's method of interstellar travel and a different dimension, in chaos (heh) and turmoil. This, right alongside their robot rebellion they JUST barely managed to win left the entire human space civilization in shambles, stranded, and unable to make contact with each other. This lead to the age of strive, eventually the God Emperor of Mankind stepped forward and began his crusade to unite humanity again, he made his 2̶0̶ 18 quasi-clones of himself called the primarchs, half of which rebelled, lead by Horus. Another cataclysmic event that tore a barely-recovered-from-the-last-one humanity asunder once again, yada yada yada, and 10K years later what was left of the imperium reformed and then regressed into the current state it is in today. Yay.
And all the while, the Eldar who survived Slaanesh's birth were barely holding on to what little remained of their space empire and kind of looked down on us humans continuously shitting things up for ourselves with the haughty attitude only reserved for those too stuck up their own asses to recognize they aren't any better (and are partially to blame).
Great tits tho.
SoCarter out.
