Here's my submission for Warframe's 11th anniversary contest! :)
Timelapse (that i forgot to turn on until a fourth of the way in lmao):
i did this in the past two nights (with a few tweaks this morning right before the deadline), really glad i was able to squeeze something out i'm proud of in time :)
i drew for a total of 8 hours yesterday (2 hours on the last minute spring basket submission and 6 hours straight on this one) so tbh i'm feeling kinda crumpled today, but at least i'm happy with what i was able to accomplish :)
ughhhhh so probably the tgcf scene i think the most about is in the final battle when hua cheng is holding xie lian and backwards gripping eming with his other hand i . god. this is referenced off of The Fallen Angel by Alexandre Cabanel (i’m pretty sure everyone has seen it by this point) which is surprisingly pretty topical for tgcf.
I will never stop believing that Kiriwo is just extremely messed up from childhood neglect and was raised by the wrong people like don't you dare tell me he was born just as bad as he is now
Honestly this is a little projection but he gives off serious behavioural disorder turned personality disorder vibes, or at least some heavy traits of them.
He needs some serious psychiatric intervention and I'll take on that role any time. I'll tell him all about attachment styles and C/DBT techniques and inner child neglect and all of that shit. I'll fix him or I'll die trying
Also this post
I'm not defending any of the bad things he's done at all. But this is a classic example of a "servant of evil" character who had their innocence or trauma warped into something worse by a bigger bad, and I'm just a little too knowledgeable regarding this section of psychology. It's a known fact that detachment from the source that gave you your disordered traits and extinction burst are ways to heal said traits. I just want to see him happy, genuinely happy.
