ahh, outer wilds, my love. it is your fifth birthday today!

you have brought me. so much. you taught me everything i hold dear, all the values i keep close by everywhere i go. you showed me so many beautiful and tragic things, inspired me to create so much, you have brought me tears through music and love and friendship and a silly little story.

you were so much more than anyone thought you'd be. you were just a little thesis project but then you became a life changing game that has touched so many people in such specific ways.

you have counseled me through grief and through confusion and taught me that really, the most important thing is that we are here right now on this massive but oh so small rock in an even bigger and scarier and uncaring universe.

so many quotes that i live by, so much symbolism, i could get lost in the pages of your story for hours(and i do)

you have made me a happy, loving person. for that i will forever be thankful.

thanks to alex beachum and kelsey beachum for creating such a beautiful story(and for weaving it into a game in such a perfect way)

thanks to andrew prahlow for giving me the gift of music that i will forever cry to

thanks to all the writers, the artists, the animators, the programmers, the playtesters, and the backers at mobius, thanks to all the people at annapurna who helped produce it, thanks to everyone who had an impact on this game.

you have brought a game that is truly remarkable. i will never have enough words to truly show my appreciation, so i must hope that this art will suffice.

happy birthday, outer wilds.

The beginning and the ending.

This story is already full of everything I need.

Sun Station. This was one of the coolest moments in the base game (and one of the saddest). The hotshot achievement was also cool, and almost easier than the cactus tunnel lmao. This one was harder to draw, since it's more of a drawing focusing on a structure than a landscape which kind of limits my different ideas for shading, as well as reducing room for error. Still pretty happy with it, especially the sun and sky. Probably something I'll redraw once I'm better at digital art.

More gouache stuff
