Since this was one of my earliest pieces, I would have done a few things differently- but overall, I'm still super happy with it! I think it's one of my best works, I love the poses, expressions, experimenting, sparkly papers, and neat fisheye effect.

Digital black and white lineart of the Majima and Kiryu templates, clear and overlapping slightly.

The templates, printed out and separated, with hard lines carved into them from when they were used to mark the coloured paper below.

I found the original template, but I can't find the background anywhere- I probably just drew it on paper and used said paper as the template, and then recycled it. I wasn't very good at keeping my paper bits back when I made this.

This was one of my first proper paper illustrations, so I don't have a lot of behind the scenes photos for it, unfortunately- and I'm not sure where the original sketches went- but here are the only pics I have of them mid-build, hah.

I would have liked it more if they'd included the dog ending as a post-credits scene

Close-up photo of the lapels on a denim jacket, each with Silent Hill-inspired enamel pins on them. On the left are pins that look like neon signs, from top to bottom reading Heaven's Night, KISS, and Paradise, which also features a reclining woman. The pins on the left are of a dress form wearing Mary's dress and cardigan from Silent Hill 2, and a circular button with a cat inside that reads "Growing Strong and Healthy- Minmo!" and "cat foods MINMO". The Minmo pin was made by Strawbearries and the rest were made by RestInPaz.

I have so many, I love them! I got these on Etsy- the Minmo one is by Strawbearries and the others are by RestInPaz!

The best part about it is the music and they mostly just reuse/remix tracks from the games anyway 😭

painting on canvas of a bald man in a yellow shirt throwing a pinecone at ET's head. a group of people also wielding pinecones are gathered behind him, becoming more shadowy and inhuman the further back they are. the sky is a sickly yellow colour, taking place at an unclear time of day

So far, Gale is my husband but he doesn't know it yet. I like Astarion a lot, but he's way out of my league

I've heard it can be a long game! But I've put hundreds into others, so I'm gonna have to get better at menus and numbers...

Like whenever I've played D&D irl, I have to relearn the rules and numbers every time... I don't want to math, I just wanna smash stuff and jump from chandeliers!

Accidentally stayed up til 3am playing Baldur's Gate 3... I've only just started- it's fun but the menus and numbers really intimidate me

A grainy red and green drawing of a skeletal figure in agony. He’s plunged a sword through his abdomen, he’s gripping it with one hand, screaming. His other hands holds flesh that is coming loose from his body.
