I Love Grindr Images Like This, They're So Awesome Sauced

Hey look, another emotional piece of fan art! I guess this year is bringing out the soft side in me. Anyway, I finished playing the game, Nier:Automata, recently and I wanted to create something that was sort of a thank you to my fellow players? If you’ve played it, you should know the scene I’m referencing. Basically, I wanted to say that this game had me all over the place emotionally, and I may not know who you are, but I know I couldn’t have made it that far in the game without you! Oh, and for the record, I did say yes in the end. May we all continue to say yes, despite it all. :) <3

Regarding the actual game, I’m not going to post spoilers here, but if you have not played it, consider this my whole hearted recommendation. Not a lot of games can make me sob like a little bitch emotional like that. I heard the game had a complex and interesting storyline, but I thought it was going to mostly be another story about the futility of war and robots gradually developing and learning about emotions. And it was about those things! But it’s really about so much more. The game’s layout and progression is a bit mind boggling. It also took me longer than I care to admit to notice the significance regarding the characters’ names. (Engels sits outside an abandoned factory. How did I miss that one?!) And yes, the game did make me pull out my philosophy books to try and remember what I’d read in them. Overall, Nier is a very thoughtful experience (and emotional AS HELL, but this is an anime game, so no surprises there). It’s certainly more than I expected from a game where I played as a thicc gothic anime waifu and tiny boyfriend.

I made some fan art in anticipation of Victoria Schwab’s upcoming book! It's unreleased, so I did my best with what I know so far. Unless @torbooks or someone would be willing to slip me an ARC...ha-ha, just kidding...unless?? 

A quick doodle that became a sort of self portrait. It’s been awhile since I’ve updated my profile picture, so I figured why not?

Progress shot!

My first post on here! I really enjoy digital painting, and will post more in the coming weeks.

I wanted to make something encouraging in this garbage fire of a year. I’ve been reading Dune recently, and the fear quote has been like a mantra to me these past few months. I also combined one of my favorite video games, Journey, in there. Both have a mystical Middle Eastern influence and contain similar themes of perserverence, community, and meditative analysis of life’s obstacles.
