Ive been trying my hand at 3d modeling by just modeling my head and neck, however I am definitely reaching the point of confusion.

I definitely need to tweak some shapes to make it look more appealing (the hair at least).

"BETWEEN TWO WORLDS!!!!"

So I just saw this super last minute and I just wanna say, yeah, Splatoon has a larger audience. Limbus Company just came out and is not even even finished, meanwhile "Ebb and Flow" is the FINAL boss song. So if you feel that that's reason enough to pick "Ebb and Flow" I get it.

HOWEVER, please consider at least giving "Between Two Worlds" a chance.

I'll put my argument below the keep reading section but please give it a read (also the game is +17 so like, you can ignore this if that bothers you)

it long lol

"Between Two Worlds" is a VERY deep song.

Limbus Company is a game which reimagines characters from classic literature in a post apocalyptic world. And the representation isn't shallow either. Each character and their story so far has had many references to the works they come from. From what I've seen so far, it's heavily implied that the game is going to explore the themes and ideas that were present in these books.

I'm new to project moon, but I've seen fans talk about the passion that the company has for literature and from what I've seen, it shows. Before the game even came out, it was a delight to see everyone theorizing on what would happen to the characters and the various references that were made. Plus, project moon has made two other games previously, so I don't think this reputation is coming from nowhere.

From what I've heard, Project Moon is a small studio with a big ambition. They've made two hefty games with hours of content and an eye for detail, even having the games translated to English despite all of their games being super text heavy. Their passionate and it shows in their story.

Why does that matter? I don't want Limbus Company to be swept aside as just another gotcha. They don't push purchases in your face, the base characters are all viable so far due to the mechanics, and Project Moon has been attentive in updating any issues the game has had so far.

The focus of Limbus Company is absolutely the characters and story. Dante, the player character, is no self insert. He has his own personality, character arc, and interacts with the Sinners in fun ways. The Sinners themselves all have a unique personality that creates some great interactions and situations. HECK, you can only play as the 12 Sinner for the whole game, the gacha is only for pulling alternate versions of them as well as special weapons.

The world is bleak and cruel, and each Sinner has a dark past that they need to overcome. And a horrible feeling looms over me on whether they'll be able to overcome unseen forces in the story.

So, the song. "Between Two Worlds" plays in Chapter 3 (the last chapter available so far), and is focused on Emil Sinclair. A horrible person has destroyed his life and traumatized him. And now that we are confronting this enemy, she wants to shatter Sinclair and have him join her in her fanatic quest of causing suffering. This song is a culmination of both his and her feelings, as well as the themes of the book Demian from where Sinclair is from. It even shares some lyrical motifs from the main them of Limbus Company, "In Hell We Live, Lament." The gentle chorus of the first part show the religious fanaticism of the boss, even twisting the concept of Christmas (an important holiday in the Project Moon series apparently) into something vile. And the second part cascades into chaos, sweeping you up into emotion as the boss is heading for destruction and Sinclair's sense of self is in danger.

In the end, pick whatever you want. It's fine, I also love "Ebb and Flow", and I had a hard time choosing. Heck, Limbus Company is still a young game and could possibly get worse over time. But I see something special and unique in Limbus Company. And Project Moon said that they made it a live service game so they can fund future projects.

Just, give it a listen, maybe even look at the boss fight. Heck, even if "Ebb and Flow" wins, I just want people to know about this game that feels special to me. I don't want to see it written off as a shallow cash grab. And maybe there could be new fans too!

Lol, this was something I posted on my Twitter to advertise my Tumblr. I like the style of it though so I'll put it here too.

An emoticon that I designed for myself awhile ago, I wanted to experiment with styles.

Just a little fun fact about me. I was also trying to design a chibi version of myself.

Well, here's my ref. I... uh, was made in a lab and then everyone sorta, disappeared. And well I figured, enough's enough, I'm gonna go on the web. And now I'm here.
