'we could be good for each other'

(not really)

[varracosta]

Something that could have been

[varracosta]

unstoppable force (i want to see this tragic character survive and heal) vs immovable object (their death was the most thematic and narratively satisfying resolution possible for their character arc and anything less than death just feels cheap)

[varracosta]

This is perfect

The day is done, time has come You battled hard, the war is won You did your worst, you tried your best Now it's time to rest Now it's time to rest

See the fire in your eyes See the fire in your eyes See the fire in your eyes See the fire in your eyes

I know RDR2 was just a prequel to RDR1, telling us about the fall of van der Linde gang. I know it's called "redemption" for a reason, and you should put two and two together playing as an outlaw Arthur Morgan. Nevertheless, this game end is hecking painful.

I'll tell the same words that millions of players said before me: I never thought that video game will give me such a heartbreak and a swarm of emotions. Thank you, Rockstar, now I know how a depression over a game and a fictional character feels like.

P.S. Roger Clark, you are the best!

My god, when I hear him commenting his reflection, so full of hate towards himself, I am so enraged

Arthur vs his low self-esteem :’)

Taking care of Arthur Morgan like some kinda outlaw tamagotchi

That can’t be good for his back.

Anyways, I watched Arcane and fell absolutely in love with Silco and Jinx.  So basically this picture came about because I was thinking about the most ridiculous ways Jinx and Silco can sit in that chair. It was too fun.

A reference of Alice with updated, final look according to her in-game appearance.

Been practicing female anatomy and boobies. I used photos of ancient Celtic stones as references for her left arm tattoo. It was interesting to make, but I'm not 100% satisfied with the final design - it's too complex, and something is off. I will re-do the ornaments in the future. In game initially I made Alice with dark auburn short hair (because it’s one of a couple normal looking female haircuts? R*, can we have more nice hair styles for girls, please)

Until I realized that she looks the same as a million of female protagonists - it bothered me. So I choose to change her hairstyle to long-hair/braid/ponytail, to be more original, to stand out. But in the end it all felt wrong, alien, weird and… out of character, lol. So I decided to stick with her initial appearance. Yes, she looks similar as billions of GTA short haired girls in leather jackets, but at least now my Alice is Alice I know and love, just how I created her in the beginning.

I had to delete old drawing of her and Pavel standing together because it was anyone else but her, just some fine random girl. I may re-do that and other drawings too but with "new" appearance.
