Here’s one with the previous sketch over it so you can see where I was going with it. My work is cut out for me but I’m very much enjoying the speed at which I can get this vibe down.

And let me be clear to the reader: I’m a thoroughbred gamer, that shit’s not going anywhere. I’m just noting where my mind’s been lately. I fucking love video games and imma keep playing. Making art’s just been feeding my soul differently lately.

Thx for the inspiration, Jade! I’m very excited to keep going. Thanks to your influence, I’m falling in love w/2D art again at a more visceral lvl, like when I did as a kid. I find myself wanting to draw instead of play games or veg out after work. I like where my mind is going.

Thanks!!

Thinking like this helped me beat Shakra twice in a row in Greymoor (Act 2) when i thought “there’s no fucking way I’ll ever be able to match that speed.”
