I will probably disappoint you one day.

Here's my full piece for S1M* - produced by UFOSHOCK.

I knew I wanted to focus on digital identities, the internet, and disconnection. I went through a fair bit of back and forth and failed ideas, and almost pulled out of being involved with this project until late one night, at like 3am I scribbled a sketch in pencil hastily in my sketchbook in a last ditch attempt at conjuring up a composition I liked and when I woke up the next day I went "Holy shit, this is it."

I'm glad I pushed through. I want to make a short video talking about the creative process behind this piece, the challenges, and some of the inspiration. The quote in the dialog box comes from the vtuber Juniper Actias during a candid livestream. I'll go into this more in the video.

Overall I'm really proud of what I achieved with this piece. Think it marks a big step up in my illustration.

And here's another revenant, Laurel! Born and raised in Ebonhawke by a Vanguard captain mother, Laurel grew up with traditional Ascalonian courage running in her blood. This led to her naively signing up for what would turn out to be a suicide mission, and getting her back torn open by a charr. She survived through sheer luck and playing dead, and after learning that it was her own mother who had authorized the mission and hidden its true nature from the public, she abandoned her name and past life and joined a mercenary group, the Ashen Blades. After years of being tricked and abused under the Blades, she betrayed a Priory caravan she was supposed to be guarding and stole an artifact that flung her into the Mists - only to meet Ventari on her quest for power instead of any useful Legends. The centaur flung her back after a year in the Mists with nothing but her staff, half-destroyed armor, and new healing powers to her name, and now she has at least two groups of people after her for betraying them. Great!

Thanks to his history of being betrayed and deceived at every turn, Laurel is cynical and selfish to a fault. He feels he can't trust anyone, and thus seeks out power and independence above all else. Nearly a decade as a mercenary has made him clever, abrasive, and assertive, and his childhood under a Vanguard captain means he has a fair basis in tactics and general knowledge as well. For now, he and Ventari are in a constant tug-of-war over the path he should take, with Ventari acting as a moral compass that Laurel constantly tries to ignore. Despite all his flaws, Laurel's one saving grace is that his past has given him an intense hatred for injustice. He has no patience for those who misuse their power, and a compassion for those who have been wronged that he can't quite push down, despite his best efforts. Once he gets over his misanthropy and distrust, he'll make a shockingly good leader for a ragtag band of rebels out to get revenge on the people who tried to write them off as sacrifices for the greater good.
