Windmaedchen's Art Progression

2003 - 2024

(omg... 20+ years of art....)

I am no extraordinary artist. But it was always enough to bring the images in my mind onto paper. I may have worked professionally as an artist, but in the end, I always only drew for myself and I love fanart more than anything for that reason. I just happen to have made other people happy, too, with my fanart and my pro art. ;-)

And that's it for now. I will post this again, though, in yet another 5 years or so. xD

Felt like drawing Styx, after what are probably years of abstinence. I drew him from memory entirely, so forgive me mistakes in colours, missing scars, gear and clothes... 😅 And yeah, he's got 5 fingers, of course.

Wait, that's it? That's where you decided to end this game????

I'm so puzzeled by their narrative choices.

Anyway, I finished the goblin series and I think, that I'd rate them as such:

1 - Of Orcs and Men is my favorite storywize (it has characters that have arcs! And fashion!) . Also found family (I'll die on this hill). Again, problem with abrupt ending (and so many gay jokes..), but other than that pretty straightforward road trip with unlikely allies to friends to "you know what you are". And horrendous fighting. But still very unique and very atmospheric setting.

2 - Styx: Master of Shadows. Honestly? I liked it! Very pretty game, very atmospheric. I love the character study of Styx in it. I was absolutely lost all the way from very beginning to the very end. I have questions to the way they tell the first half of the story (and the rest too tbh), but maybe it's a design choice, so you'd feel as confused as the main character. Would be improved significantly if the npcs were more than plot devices. But still, good game.

3 - Styx: Shards of Darkness. I would put it lower if it was an option. If you come into it not as a fan of the series (not where I expected to find myself in the beginning of 2024 but here I am) it was a solid stealth game. I feel like they lost pretty much most of the unique atmosphere, but maybe it's because they decided to sacrifice the whole character of the protagonist to some very low quality 4th wall breaking jokes. And I do like that Styx as a character can't shut up to save his life and very bad at humor, but leave it at least canon-adjacent. You can't put a player into one of the two boss fights in the whole game and put a lotr one-liner as the line of dialogue! Have some respect for yourself? For your story?? Also your players, what the hell were these death cutscenes? Still the story feels like a very rough draft. But! We finally have other characters! Two of them! Unfortunately their motivation is not very clear especially in the story that is all over the place, that doesn't know how properly end. Speaking of it, I am very confused by this storytelling move when they clearly set up the villain, but at the last second we fight some henchmen and the story ends. It was in several games of different studios and I can't say that it's a setup for a sequel because the main characters just don't acknowledge this in any way? It's odd. What can I say.

Anyway, Happy New Year, I was planning on staying late playing the game but I guess I'll go to bed early!

MAH BOY! MAH UGLY MEAN DISGUSTING SLEAZY SNEAKY UGLY MEAN LITTLE SMALL BOY IS BACK!

I dared not to hope! I thougt we were going the be stuck at a cliffhanger forever!

The first two Styx games are the best stealth games out there. No other game can scratch this specific itch of being a little rat bastard man sneaking through large towns and castles.

I am celebrating!

Top 15 Games that Need a Remake (2023 Edition)

I saw that GameBolt made a video about this topic, but I found it kind of dull to watch.  It had ALL of the usual suspects on there from videos that other channels have made.  I made a list like this about 8 years ago, and I thought to myself – why not actually look at this topic again?  Find games that aren’t just a few years old to ask if we could get a sequel to them.  Especially since some of…
