Little bonus. Really old art that I made when my online handle was still Sinekanter (which means "without edges", lol). It does not reflect my current style well, but I still like it.

I was thinking again about the Jade Shadows quest, and I am just so glad we got to see the Corpus be human for once.

During The New War we got to see that humanity in the Grineer, in Kahl, who was ready to sacrifice his life not merely for his faction, but for his brothers. A scene I absolutely loved.

Yet, when we later play as the Corpus, as Veso, even if he does defy Alad and fight in the end, he still does it "for profit". (I am just now noticing the hirony in the fact that Kahl didn't have a name yet and still acted more as an individual than Veso, who did have one)

So, that scene where the Corpus (well, the captain) heard a baby's cry and immediately stopped firing. Seeing that it was not a threat that the Stalker was hiding, but just protecting a child, and then moving out of the way to let them go... I think it's purpusefully filling that role, that space, that I didn't see/feel in The New War.

There's just something so incredibly human about it.

Happy Star Days! Here's my Valentenno contest submission, featuring my operator and a very angry Paracesis-weilding Ballas :)

First time I've drawn my operator and I'm really happy with the result! Absolutely went overboard with the colors and detailing for such a dumb joke, but I guess that's the fun of it lol

Version with no captions:

Sorry for no color wips, coloring really hits me all at once like a truck with no stopping until it's done lmao

My favorite part about New War/the Drifter is that the DE team seems to have finally realized that since their game is rated M, they can use normal human swear words.

Nothing is funnier to me than the idea of Ballas selling the tenno out (and by extension, the orokin and humanity) to the sentients just because he was getting pissy about how the orokin treated him. Which I guess really does explain his "speeches" during the new war. Man has the moral fiber of waterlogged cardboard

operation orphix venom :(

Drifter: "Hungry?"

Operator: "Uh. Yeah."

(Just some added context for that one scene in TNW.)

I think it's pretty cool that The New War basically canonized the Lotus being a system or at the very least some flavour of plural
