happy 6th anniversary to Xenoblade Chronicles 2 !!!!! this game means so much to me, being the reason i got into this series in the first place, ever since i watched my step brother play it when it first came out and eventually playing it on my own years later. its truly shaped me as a person, giving me a new outlook on life and an attitude to strive towards, all thanks to its lovely protagonist Rex. to commemorate that, i wanted to draw him with a character we don't often see him with in fanart, that being Zeke. despite how big of a role model he was to him, i rarely see them get a good spotlight. so for this 6th anniversary, i really wanted to show them some love (and give Gramps a good acknowledgement too!)
