Its Nice To Know Im Not Alone In Feeling That Espio Isnt Quite So Above It All. Yes, He Is An Undoubtedly

It’s nice to know I’m not alone in feeling that Espio isn’t quite so above it all. Yes, he is an undoubtedly talented and capable ninja, dedicated to his craft and proud of it…but he’s also still sixteen years old.

And I mean that in the best possible way! I would not have been this zen at sixteen!

Also, head-canon that because he’s basically the team dad/dad friend/promoted to parent, Vector hears a LOT of “Bo-oooss” being called like that whiny “Daa-aaad” noise and can do zippo about it.

Context for this: I swear to god, I’ve seen Espio being shown to sit on Vector’s desk in -some- kind of official capacity, so this was always how I pictured Espio having ‘claimed’ that spot…but I can’t find the OG image/scene for the life of me! If anyone can help me out and make sure I’m not losing my grip on reality, I’d really appreciate it 😂

I’m calling this one “waiting for work.” I still subscribe to the idea of the Classic Designs = Younger everyone, especially Vector! I mean look at ‘im, dude’s a walking time capsule!

This might be a set up for a semi-related thing…? Still mulling it over.

Oddworld: The Promised Neverland Homages (pt. 5)

Aka: my excuse to finally abuse the light pens in the name of art!!

I still can’t get over how well The Promised Neverland’s imagery lends itself to Oddworld…quite possibly because they’re pretty much the same concept, but still. I mean, fundamentally, Abe is absolutely a different character to Emma: he’s more reluctant in some respects and clearly doesn’t relish any of the danger he has to face…but he still loves his family. That moment where he hears gunshots and worriedly murmurs “The others…” is proof enough of that and it’s still as effective and powerful as Emma declaring that she never wants to lose another sibling to shipping.

That’s what I was hoping to convey most in this image—what the portal represents. Freedom, relief, safety; not necessarily for Abe, but for all the Mudokons we’ve helped him ferry to safety…or lost in one misstep.

Part 2 of Espio acting his age for once and Vector aging like milk.

Alternative background style of my redesign of Fleetway Amy as a barebow archery champion; I just couldn’t decide what I liked more. On the one hand, the other is more dynamic…but this one has glitter!!

Look, I’ve accepted that I’m never gonna make it big in the industry…but I wouldn’t mind another crack at a bit of financial independence if possible, so I may as well try right?

Plus, in addition optional donations I’m offering something which I thought was pretty cool: an in depth look at design and development, as I was taught in Uni. Also includes a “How I would do it” tier: I’m basically selling my thought process, but only on some ideas that I’d hoped to be able to see “out there, on the screen” someday. It’s gonna include an in-depth look at the characters used, as well as sketch/design developments and annotated mock-production sheets.
