“Those two things can exist at the same time. Like you said, it's all—it's all tangled up together, you and me.”

double page spread for one of my favorite luzo fics of all time, poly philtatos (the most beloved by far) by my good friend - @swordsmans!

I knew I wanted to do a double page spread the second I finished this fic and I drafted abt a dozen ideas before landing on what would ultimately become this. There were so many snippets and moments I wanted to illustrate but I ended up doing more of an abstracted version of the fic as opposed to 1:1 drawings of scenes 

funnily enough while the fic itself is told in zoros pov this spread is framed mostly through luffy’s eyes - his tears literally frame comp for their reunion, the moment he loses zoro, and the centerpiece of the first page which is this weird abstraction of him on the beach seeing zoros corpse-not-a-corpse in the waves just beyond his reach. 

gyro put the crane wives’ never love an anchor on the playlist for this fic which i heavily used as inspiration in picking ornamental things for the spread (the anchor, the fleet of ships by luffy, and the nautical rope splitting the second page). also just like. overall really heartbreaking lyrics guys 

there are smaller elements throughout the spread that are 1:1 references though (all i will say for these is if you know, you know hehe) i wish i had more time to do a lengthier piece for fanart for this fic bc it's one of the few luzo fics that have been rattling around in my brain forever now - once again please please please read poly philtatos if you haven't. gyro is a masterful writer and they deserve all the love! ok byeee

Bring the Epic Battle to Life With The Art of Flight

The Art of Flight bullet hell SHMUP game is due to makes its way onto Linux via Steam Deck with Windows PC. The game comes to life thanks to the dedication and hard work of the team at Et Al Games. Due to make its way onto Steam. The Art of Flight brings a fresh take on space action games. Instead of piloting just one spacecraft, you find yourself in command of an entire squadron. So you will have multiple spaceships that all move in sync, darting and weaving through the vastness of space. This isn’t just about shooting and dodging; it’s about coordinating a dance, where each move has the potential to change the outcome of an epic battle. Visually, The Art of Flight stands out. The choice of using water color aesthetics gives everything a dreamy, fluid quality. It's as if you're gliding through a mesmerizing artwork where colors blend and swirl. This isn't the crisp, digital look you might be used to; it’s softer, almost otherworldly. And it's all due to be playable on Linux via Steam Deck.

So we'll definitely be usable thru Proton as we're planning to release for the Steam Deck.

According to the The Art of Flight developer's email reply, there are no plans for a Linux port, but they will keep the option open post launch. What you can expect, proper Vulkan support via Proton. Complementing this is the The Art of Flight soundscape. Think of the strum of warm guitars and the rhythmic beats of drums that seem to pulsate with life. There's something deeply engaging about the audio; it's not just background noise. The most unique part is how it's responsive. As you maneuver your squadron, the music alters, echoing your moves. It's as if you're not just controlling spaceships but also designing a dynamic musical composition.

Challenges pop up in the form of episodic encounters. Each of these has its own spin, urging you to adapt and reconsider your The Art of Flight tactics. Navigating these waves becomes a blend of strategy and reaction, making every session feel distinct. Power-ups, when captured, grant your squadron enhanced abilities, broadening your approach to battles. Boss encounters amp up the challenge. Using a single ship against these titans would be a colossal task, but in The Art of Flight, you've got an entire squadron. Coordinate, strategize, and find those weak spots. For those who thrive on high stakes, the scoring mechanics are crafted to reward daring plays. Every decision, every move, could mean the difference between setting a new record or starting over. Local co-op introduces another layer. Collaborate with a friend, and the coordination reaches new heights. For those who prefer a more leisurely pace, or perhaps just want to immerse in the visual and auditory experience, there's the option to adjust the speed. This thoughtful feature ensures that everyone, regardless of skill level, can dive into The Art of Flight and enjoy it. In essence, The Art of Flight transcends typical space action experiences. It's an artistic journey, a synchronized ballet of ships, combined with strategic depth and immersive visuals and sound. For those who've ever dreamt of the stars, this offers a chance not just to fly, but to command, to orchestrate, and to truly experience The Art of Flight.
