I've been watching you longer than you know. Recklessly drawn to your destiny, like a flame. My beautiful Champion. There is much to fear. But not death. For it gives meaning to life.
Do you feel the characters you personally have played would make it out of an escape room together? I. E. for Ashley, it would be Fearne, Yasha, and Pike - would they work as a team?
Gwendolyn was absolutely listening in when Percy gave Fearne and Mister a gun lmao

I think we as a fandom need to consider the idea of ‘Calvin and Hobbes but it’s Gwen and her owlbear teddy’ more. Redrew parts of this og comic by Bill Waterson but with the de Rolos
For being so codependent Vex and Vax have such different ways of dealing with things. In the wake of Scanlan’s departure, Vax’s instinct is to over share because Scanlan said none of them really knew him while Vex’s response is to listen because they all talk too fucking much.
Look at their paths to get to this point in the first place. Left to his own devices Vax finds his comfort zone in the cities, surrounded by hustle and bustle and people. Vex on the other hand finds her place in the wilds. In the quiet, steady movements of a lone hunter. I always think of Vax being the kind of person who can’t stand silence because the thoughts in his head will multiply exponentially and Vex as the kind of person who can’t separate her thoughts from the ambient noise unless there’s room to breathe.
Vax’s instincts to share in the wake of Scanlan’s exit and his comfort in the city are at complete odds with Vex’s instinct to retreat and listen and yet, while there is definitely tension, they’re not exactly mad at each other.
They have such different needs in moments of stress and that has led them down very different paths in life and yet they are attached at the hip and the idea that they managed to find and continue to develop such different routes in such close proximity to each other fascinates me.
I'm done. Holy shit y'all I'm fucking done (barring Tary and the several NPCs I wanna do)
Made all seven of these while going through the campaign and I just finished the campaign a few days ago and I'm in that mourning phase that I don't get anymore story with these characters who I couldn't help but come to love with all their strengths and weaknesses.
The prints look so amazing side by side. I'm happy that I got to make all these while the inspiration lasted.
Now watch me go back and just watch through campaign 1 again instead of campaign 2 because I'm I am going to miss these characters too much. I know campaign 2 is super beloved and I'm sure I'll get there eventually, but for now.. I mourn.. and admire these prints on my wall.
Also, to the random person in my tiktok comments when they saw me watching ep 4 in the background of a video while painting Anakin. That I would love Vax and Percy the most because it would be similar to Anakin and I laughed it off... you were half right, because Vax is so Anakin coded in the ways I adore Anakin and it was fate I was going to love Vax and adore him and all his rights and wrongs.
