Getting A New Game Announced By Garage Heathen AND A New TOV(-related) Video By Kane Pixels All Within

Getting a new game announced by Garage Heathen AND a new TOV(-related) video by Kane Pixels all within the span of like 24-36 hours is *wild* in the best way.

"Jellyfish" (Stamps)

[sources: x / x / x / x / x ]

5 jellyfish digital stamps (200 x 100) plus variations made in GIMP with stock images from pexels.com and unsplash. The borders are entirely self-made. Can be used on blogs, deviantart, neocities pages, tumblr or anywhere else really.

More stamps! Very simple ones, I just saw some stockpics of jellyfish and wanted to try and turn them into stamps. I like how these turned out, a bit of a different vibe from the aquarium/fish stamps I made before.

amphibizzy's comment(s) in the Kane's Facility server that made me realise something else:

In the context of TOV it makes sense to call this a burial site. The VVM, the Giant, the memories and the past are buried there. But also, at the end of TOV3 there were bodies shown - human bodies and a horse. So yeah, it makes sense to refer to this as a burial site in that context (I was coming at it from IRL too much when I first wrote this post.)

New surprise TOV(related) media let's gooooo!

Also, just my first impressions as I watch this:

"Remains" and "Burial site" are an interesting choice to describe the ruins of the VVM.

Iis it just me or is that the black-white-and-green filter from TOV for the first few frames? The sky later on certainly appears to be a much more vibrant blue than in the first few frames.

(Also considering how and when that filter is used in TOV - in relation to the past and/or death - it seems fitting to use it over the ruins of the VVM.) (something something the ghost of the VVM)

Really cool to see the remains overlaid with scenes from TOV, YT videos or images of what the shops were like before the demolition.

Especially when contrasting the scenes of TOV vs the IRL 2024 footage give such different vibes. Sunlight vs artificial light/inside vs outside, running vs walking, etc.

Is that a voice over of Scott Beck again? "We are gonna turn over a new leaf, we are not gonna talk about what happened in the past-"

Esp with the voice over it really drives home how the mall was closed down and then torn down and the place is just...lying dormant atm.

(09:10 - I bet this is unintentional, but seeing squares holes in the ground it seems like the camera is turning away like "nope! there might be stairs down there, I am not lingering on this!")

It is fascinating how much of the area has already been overtaken by nature/plants again.

(12:50 - Oh a flower! Because...Giant. With flower hands. Or just sun and sunflower. Splendid!)

19:20 THUNDER SOUNDS! THUNDER SOUNDS!

Also - I wonder if this is purely just the creator of the series having the opportunity to do some urban exploring and linking it to his work, OR if this is meant to be in-series; this could just as well be Wyatt walking through the ruins and contrasting it with his own footage. (The video appears in the TOV playlist too, which makes this even more ambiguous.)

Let's add a new backrooms video aka Found Footage 3 to this and make it "all within the same week". This September is pretty awesome so far.

"Intersect"

A digital collage and a variation, both made in GIMP with screenshots from "The Oldest View" by Kane Pixels, which includes use of the Julien Reverchon Giant made by Kevin Obregon.

Additional thoughts beneath the cut:

Two more of the 'practice' pieces I made before I made the movie poster; I did sooo many variations. Figures, since cutting out the silhouettes took a bit of work, so I wanted to get as much use out of it as possible.

I really like how the crop makes it look as if the in-set screenshot is Wyatt standing on the escalator, staring down in terror and confusion at the Giant which has just chased him up there. Also, I like how the piece with the overlap turned out. The only thing I am not 100% happy with is the one flower hand.

Again, lots of fun to play around with this kind of collage and concept. Kinda gives me some mild Rene Magritte vibes.
