#xenoblade #fanart #shulk #melia #shulk and melia #this is exactly why i want to archive everything i post #because this is one of my favorite pieces of xenoblade fanart and i had to spend over an hour to figure out where it came from #only to find the source link in the reddit comments led to a tumblr account that the wayback machine doesn't even have a #non-deactivated archive of. some random artist just posted beautiful artwork and then disappeared off the face of the earth #this happens so many times i s2g like half of my favorite pieces of fanart were drawn by amazingly talented artists #who then went on to never draw for that fandom again and often deactivate too #it's so wild to me like i'm obsessed with this game but cannot draw the way i see the images in my head to save my goddamn life #yet on the other side of the coin there are people out here who can casually toss out masterpieces for media they only kind of liked #life is weird dude
