wizard city’s cultures based on streets

lightningbats:

Unicorn Way – Unicorn Way is basically the nice suburb of Wizard City. There’s basically no crime or danger to beware. Many parents move to Unicorn Way so that their children can grow up close to the Commons and Shopping District but away from the other more dangerous streets. People who live here feel a constant sense of vitality and joy, making it very nice for most people, though a nightmare for Necromancers. Overall, Unicorn Way is just a joyful place, full of fun and magic.

Colossus Boulevard – Not many live here besides the Gobblers. Maybe a cult or two use the houses as places to hold their rites and rituals. Journalists from Marleybone or elsewhere come here to study and report about the Gobblers and Evil Snowmen. There’s basically no foot traffic, nothing to do, nothing to see (besides the gigantic Gobbler King).

Cyclops Lane – This street was originally the home of many displaced Conjurors, who were persecuted for a short time. However, once those days died out, Merle Ambrose decided to fund development of the lonely street, and that’s when the Wizard City Myth wizards started showing their more prissy, fancy sides. Cyclops Lane was infested with little tea shops, bakeries, and of course, laundromats. Nowadays, the street is a place for young, trendy conjurors to just hang out and summon a few cyclopses.

Triton Avenue – For many people, they can’t stand going to Triton Avenue. Constant rain, wild Diviners running around, the rampant Rotting Fodders. It’s a nightmare. However, some, usually the Diviners that inhabit it, can see its beauty. It’s a place of freedom, devoid of expectation. Sure, it’s a little dangerous. But if you’re more of a stay-indoors type of person, you can very well enjoy the pitter patter of the rain on your windows, as you keep warm in your Triton Avenue home. 

Firecat Alley – Firecat Alley hurts to be in. Every step you take is like putting your bare foot on concrete in the Summer. For those who can handle it, like the passionate Pyromancers, Firecat Alley is a place of wonderful art, beautiful music, and friendly people. People respect each other here, and discussions of philosophy or something as simple as a Cool Color take place. The denizens of Firecat Alley won’t do anything if it isn’t mentally stimulating. And so, they don’t.

I finally finished animating this King Artorius art piece! Decided to break it up into 2 so that it would be a good way of posting the entire thing.

I made it a point to animate the fur on his face as well, but it’s not super noticeable. This was an experiment on animating breathing for me, so I think I did pretty ok for my first time 😀

Reminder that Cyrus had to help us hunt down and kill his own brother

Reminder that his sister in law is already dead

Reminder that Cyrus had to teach the students that very well might have grown to be the one to kill Malistaire whilst saving the spiral.

Reminder that the least you can do for this poor fucking sap is get his laundry for him.

CYRUS DRAKE! HOW DARE YOU STEAL THAT MOUNT! I AM ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTED! PROSPECTOR ZEKE’S NOW FACING AN INQUIRY AT WORK, AND IT’S ENTIRELY YOUR FAULT. IF YOU PUT ANOTHER TOE OUT OF LINE WE’LL BRING YOU STRAIGHT TO ZAFARIA! — Oh, and Malistaire dear, congratulations on making Necromancer, Gamma and I are so proud.
