When you start working on references for an art piece and get carried away with making custom materials in blender......

Yeah I was going to make it 2d but maybe committed to 3d now

And yeas this is Precursors related, I want to illustrate their home planet and life before the traveler arrived. These will be ancient petrified trees in the desert. Very mineral rich and salty along being rock.

Oh dear that new witness lore....

The grim part specifically

I never thought it'd do that to a dissenter? Like yeah, cut them out, treat them so poorly already but this is just a whole new leap. Not just the cruelty of that on the dissenter but the cruelty of it on itself, as much as it doesn't want the dissenter to be a part of it, it still is. This is self harm and mutilation as much as it is horrific violence.

I guess the thing that makes the Witness so relatable to me is that

all it does is stuff that has been done a million times before.

Creating your own found family of misfit individuals and give them a place to call home. Striving to be the change you want to see in the world. Being selfless and willingly sacrificing yourself to save the universe. It's a trope that works (almost) every time.

Yet, when the Witness does it, the found family falls apart, everybody hates it for what it is trying to achieve, call it insane and a monster and it just can't be good at that one single thing it set its mind on being the best at. And all it can do is just sit there like: "Why is this not working. I did everything I was supposed to. It should be working. Why is it not working. It's the exact same of what everybody else is doing. Why do I keep failing. I'm trying hard. I'm trying my hardest. Where am I going wrong. What the fuck."

And yeah, that hits a bit too close to home for me.

May I add a little something about the design

It quite literally is a symbol of Rhulk's support for the Witness. That is why his part is on the bottom with Witness' resting on top, literally holding it up. The strings are coming throughout his whole part and then end up on the top, coming through Witness' hands, fixed on its fingers. Witness has all the control of those strings at its literal hands. The strings do not go through Rhulk's fingers because he's not the one to play those strings. Yet notice how he still holds his hand with the Witness. He is willingly there, the strings are not ensnaring or trapping his hand, just neatly tied to their place and neatly coming through. He is devoted to it.

Also look where the sight/scope is. In a literal hand of the Witness, a presentation of it leading Rhulk, showing the path to take, focusing his sight on the goal. It also brings to attention that the trigger is on Rhulk's part, he is a powerful warrior after all, he fights for it, taking out their enemies with its guidance.

✨️And together they are a symphony✨️

Im so not ok about them

Can I just say what a fucking win this is for people who ship Rhulk and The Witness

Took me a few times viewing it to realize it was just them combined into one gun

My heart

I cant

Rhulk found his way to his witness

They're together now

God the hands

The everything I can't im in agony

"Oh, but they loved each other didn't they."

Was a sentence I said out loud in front of my family

Not me waxing poetry because this damn game has crippled me mentally

Maybe I'll post my poem I spewed about them

More prose than a true poem but still

God

Before the stickbug dance there was this.

What compels me to do this? The simple desire to see this man feral on all fours. His legs were made for it and I have the courage, the 3d models and the skills to make this a reality.

So tired of the existence of a current artist. Just wanna be silly and talk with only my fellow internet weirdos, sharing our love for little things that bring joy in our lives.

Forced to go out and socialise, build connections, put up an act of corporate modesty, just for a hope to find someone who needs you.

I had a very unpleasant experience, being told how great and unique my work and style is, being pampered in compliments only to be told that I got replaced before even signing an internship. Just the amount of sucking up that's done is gross.

I worked on a vr movie, it was... something. People were unqualified, I was feeling like running a fool's errand. I fixed their mistakes but had to keep to myself how bad everything was because people who were supposed to know better than me didn't point out the issues. I enjoyed adding the little touches of my creativity into the environment design, working out how everything can be made as low poly as possible. But the whole forced socialisation factor of meetings and such, it drains the life out of me. Just tell me in text, please, you're not putting it to words easier. Oh and yeah, you still haven't paid me for over a month for my last month's work :/

I feel bad, annoying, guilty even whenever I keep pushing myself out there. Shit, reposting my own art is still making me embarrassed. I don't want to do that but at this point, I need to get over it. As flawed I can be I just need to get up. I know that remaining independent from any of those corporate shills is the way, I cannot bear the fakeness there. I don't like how as an artist I'll basically sell my soul to the internet. But that's the preferable option for me.

I think I'll prefer to open my heart for the world of strangers to see than be closed and drowned in fake displays of civility.
