Proud to say I stuck through the entire month (my first drawing challenge ever woo hoo) and even more proud of the community for raising more than $1k for Gamers Outreach!! You guys are amazing :)
Big thank you to Luna for managing this and for all your lovely comments in the tags <3
Someone explained it pretty well in the rbs already but my main idea here was just that Grian didn’t seem to express much regret for all the deaths he’s caused, even amongst his closest allies each season (3rd life might be an exception).
(also ik he wasn't the main cause of jimmy and joel's deaths in LimLife, but their deaths were the catalyst of his regret in this instance which make them relevant in my mind)
I wanted to explore the idea that maybe he isn’t allowed to per his watcher identity, that he knows these games have consequences and fighting against them is useless.
And yet even still he pleads.
On a more realistic note, I drew this whole comic within like two days bc I wanted to get it out before the LimLife finale after the penultimate session. There are some things I would’ve done differently now a year later to make it more coherent but I don’t want to change it.
Life Series Grian is a very complicated character (all of the players are, let’s be real) and this comic only begins to scratch at the surface of how I interpret him.
Day 26 of this drawing challenge/fundraiser, yeah yeah yeah!!
Today’s prompt was groups and collabs but I do not have nearly enough time to draw more than 2 people, so I chose my beloveds! A bit rushed so it might look a little funky but I’m just glad I got to draw them again.
