i was replaying SOMA and i got to jin yoshida but somehow i'd broken him so he never attacked and just followed me around like a puppy . The only real times he did his evil sprint was if i was too far away, but he'd never actually attacked. Dude was standing behind me while i was reading a screen. I wasn't in safe mode either so by all means he should've attacked me, i died at some point in the playthrough so i have no idea why he refused to attack

maybe he is in awe of my beauty ... like look at this he just wants to chill

Decided to post all the progress pictures I had of this, from sketch to final painting. This is my favorite digital painting I've ever done, lol. Short description of the process below the cut.

Step one: sketch on paper. I usually make sketches for Serious Art on paper first, because I feel like it's easier to play around and get something... loose, with the right feeling.

2. redraw it digitally. This one changed a lot, because I couldn't get the framing right digitally, so I pretty much redid the whole thing.

3. this is where I thought about the lighting. I've been trying to get more intentional about my lighting, because that's what separates good art from great art. So I threw in the shadows while trying to think of what would be the most dramatic, as well as support the themes of the picture.

The rabbit needed to be in the light, and I liked the idea the light coming from behind him, the place he's turning to look at. Like he's looking at all the bright and good things that he has lost... It's behind him, something he can't get back. I also wanted the old-looking / Caravaggio-esque feeling, with harsh shadows.

4:9. These are all just painting in over the sketch. You can see my palette, I color-picked from a screenshot of the beast, but I would also create random similar colors, I wasn't strict about the palette when I needed something slightly different, especially in bloody/wound areas.

I used the built-in gouache brush in clip studio paint. Almost all of the painting is on one layer.

As you can see, I didn't do things the traditional way, where you lay down a midtone and build up darks and lights... I just kinda jump into it.

My least favorite part was the teeth.

10. the final picture. I added details like dust motes in the light, and one of my favorite little tricks, adding a bit of glow around the brightest parts with an airbrush.

If I were going to change anything, it would be the clothing, and the arm holding the rabbit (especially the bicep area) because I feel like you can tell I just phoned it in. There's also something slightly wonky about the mouth, but it would take way too much work to ever fix, so I never will lol.

I had a dream that was like a video game similar to frictional games SOMA where in an underwater base there was some sort of breach where in part of the facility the pressure got fucked up and something broke in but the emergency system managed to re-pressurize the area with some minor flooding but the problem was that the beast that caused the breach broke in and started killing everyone and you played as one of like 8 survivors that were hiding in a small area that had the Dorms and 1 small kitchen and the job of the game was to sometimes sneak out to gather supplies and try and make a plan to escape (also you had a cat who lived in the home-base area who didnt seem to care at all) while also keeping morale and supplies steady and building areas within the home base.

The monster was a really long beast with a ton of weird tumors and a few bio lumenscent stuff on it's body. It would sometimes go over to the home-base doors which it couldn't get into bc you guys already barricaded the vents + doors with a shitton of metal but it would try and break in. It would mimic sounds of other humans that it had killed within the base so you'd hear it cry and ask for help or beg to let it in and at one point it even cried like a baby.

It was way smarter than you'd think because at one point the character I was supposed to be was tasked with finding the oxygen area to figure out how much oxygen they had and if the oxygen filters still worked but anyways the character got attacked by a DIFFERENT monster that we called 'allison' (I think it was because it was the mutated flesh off a fallen friend apparently this weird beast could sometimes spread it's monster-ness to something else) but after Allison attacked us (via mostly a lot of screaming sounds)

my character was hiding ontop of a metal walk way and the real monster started to mimic the sounds of working machinery as a way to try and lure me down so it could find me (it was supposedly blind so if you weren't making enough noise or moving it couldn't find you with that alone) and it even tried to mimic the sound of 'Allison' finally leaving the area

it was pretty neat

i know in horror games that are lore heavy there's often a suspension of disbelief needed to just accept that you're going to find notes that people would not in real life take the time to write in terrifying, life threatening situations and that's fine, i love shit like that.

but it's still really funny to me that on four separate occasions during leon's trip through the ghoul nest he sat down with pen and paper in near pitch dark, in between fits of blacking out from fear/transformations, while actively being hunted by monsters, to scribble out 'omg you guys i am sooooooo spooked right now 😖🤧🤧' like babe maybe this is why you wound up getting lost in a maze 😭
