The Hive Queen - Ravenloft Lore

[@lifebreacher7629]

Like how you can tell a story with the art from Magic the Gathering cards

[@HouroftheRaven]

Thanks! It takes a great amount of search in their files for artwork!

[@therealGibralter]

I always like the story of the Hive Queen. A story of arrogance, pettiness, and greed that turns you into what you hate but also what you deserve.

[@HouroftheRaven]

A fitting curse for a Darklord!

[@ObsessiveSting]

Of note also for inspiration the movie C.H.U.D. as the Marikith are very similar as well.

[@HouroftheRaven]

Never saw this one! Have to check it out!

[@KS-PNW]

​@@HouroftheRavenif your into sci-fi/B movies it's definitely worth a watch. I hadn't thought of it until @Obsessivesting pointed it out but there's definitely some similarities between the two creatures.

Great to see some of my AI generated pictures of the Hive Queen in this video! ^_^

[@HouroftheRaven]

Thanks! You versions of the Hive Queen are amazing! I tried to create her on IA but never got close to the result you got! I left a special thanks to you in the video description, your AI portraits of the Darklords are amazing.

[@brianpratt3224]

wow a really quick turn around. Thanks.

[@HouroftheRaven]

Timor is one of the most dangerous and scary places in Ravenloft. Nothing would make me go to the undergounds to visit this princess!

[@brianpratt3224]

Its also one of the most unique lands, sad that there really hasn't had much done with it.@@HouroftheRaven

[@phdnd-drbowers]

Delightful! Great coverage as always! Cheers!

[@HouroftheRaven]

[@HouroftheRaven]

Thanks!

[@stevengarcia8003]

It’s a good day when I see a new Hour of the Raven video drops. Your vids helped me so much with the campaign I’m currently running in Falkovnia Keep up the good work!

[@HouroftheRaven]

Thanks!

I love this channel, but as a Portuguese Raven loft fan I yearn for a content creator to make videos in my native tongue.

[@HouroftheRaven]

This is a bilingual channel, and every video has two versions, in Portugues and English. You can check it out on the videos page, or in the playlists of Portugues Videos, or Timor - Portuguese. Here is the link for this video in Portuguese: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d37depyfrrKGrNEsi=qelQ6JjahSknX791

Cmon man, you use your real voice (good on you) but use generated images? It's like someone stole your voice and writing, then used it in their own video. I know you don't see it that way but it sucks that creativity is being devalued by it. Thanks for being honest about it though, sucks the original artists it ripped off can't be credited though. You have great potential, keep practicing your craft

[@HouroftheRaven]

Thanks Joel. I understand the issue. Usually, I only use images from official D&D and MtG, but the Hive Queen was really hard to find a fitting art.

[@joelrobinson5457]

@@HouroftheRaven I get it, it just hurts to see something so beautiful and innate to human nature, to the human experience as art... Get cut out and turned into a commodity to be exploited for profit. It, just hurts in a way that I don't know how to describe y'know? And it's not creators like you I'm pained at, it's the people who gloat and use this to claim artists aren't needed, or can/should be replaced. Art is beautiful, wonderful, HUMAN so much so it's called a humanity! And this in essence spits on that. It's already ruining peoples lives, people using it to copy their work then replace them! Even mocking them after, and it pollutes the water for future artists! Why would anyone suffer through creating bad quality art over and over as is required to get good, when they can just take the easy option? Sorry for the rant, I just feel I'm watching people celebrate a beautiful thing being desyroyed. I just need to get it out, I'm scared. Terrified.
