Did Some Sketches Of Ikora Rey And Chalco Yong Right Before Lightfall! I Did A Design Of Chalco A Few

Did some sketches of Ikora Rey and Chalco Yong right before Lightfall! I did a design of Chalco a few months ago. I wish we got more lore about her!

This! It didn't feel lol like it was handled the best. Though I think this could lead to interesting potential story between Crow and Mara going forward.

Ok I think I've had enough time to like process everything properly.

Amanda dying sucks. For a variety of reasons. It genuinely sad that she won't be around anymore. We lost her, we lost a friend. There's a hole now.

But narratively her death sucks bc of how she was written this season. This entire season I've been annoyed by Amanda. Annoyed by how she was treating crow, annoyed by the fact she's apparently been living under a rock when it comes to the darkness, annoyed by how she's just been acting recently. Season of Defiance lore and story genuinely feels like we've taken a step backwards from where we were. On top of all that, we knew it was coming, we knew she was gonna die, so we had some time to prepare. Even then, her death doesn't really feel impactful? It really feels like it's just something that happened rather then a real hit.

I also just can't get myself to feel angry about it?? Like Crow is rearing up for vengeance Forsaken 2 electric boogaloo style. But it's war??? People die??? What's there to get revenge on??? We didn't "get revenge" for Rohan, we understood it was 1) war and 2) his choice. It's the same situation here. Her death is sad, it sucks. But she chose to sacrifice herself, its war.

Page 3 of Sightlines! Thrysiks..... Baby boy... This is the Dreg that Eido talks to and sends to Drifter and he's then given a job to babysit kids. 🥺

My fave D2 thing is one of my fireteam being like. "Watch this!" and Ghost instantaneously being like "Guardian Down!"

Hearing ANY sort of phrase that indicates Shit Is Gonna Happen followed DIRECTLY after by Ghost's horrified 'Guardian down!' is fucking peak comedy. Like I know there's a whole buncha memeable shit in this game, but really nothing beats the pure slapstick comedy of a situation escalating followed by sudden death

WIP progress

Me: lets make this a quick drawing of my warlock

Also me: let's do it on a 11x14 inch piece of paper with an entire unplanned background featuring some Neomuna rooftop fighting and some pouka propaganda mixed in. Oh, and btw let's start this during IB week when you're trying to gild your Iron Lady title again.

Hmmm, I know lightbearers do not age (besides Shin Malphur since he was rezzed as a kid), but this poses a good question--can lightbearers get grey hair (at least that caused by stress)? Or would this be something else their ghost could fix, like hunger or wounds? Maybe this is why Zavala and Ikora don't have any/much hair. Cause they have so many greys now (and in the case of Ikora, so it doesn't get in the way while fighting).

Grandpa through the time
