You should be watching Scavenger's Reign rn.

i think when people ask "how did you draw that" they moreso mean "what was your thought process for executing the idea the way you did it". which is sometimes extremely hard to answer because the process is so deeply ingrained in our subconcious because it's something we've been drawing for void knows how long. and sometimes the thought process isnt even easy to see when watching the artist draw (either through a speedpaint or a stream), because the better people get at executing their ideas with their subconscious thought process, some of them tend to just. Not sketch basic shapes whatever even though they are thinking subconsciously in those basic shapes to make the sketch and just know where they're supposed to go

re: the dead wife trope, scavengers reign is truly the only show that did it well, simply because they made it as fucked up as possible. not only is your wife dead but your own hubris killed her and now you are going to have a symbiotic relationship with a psychic alien salamander who feeds you hallucinations of your dead wife. perfection

You were never a part of the happy ending
