Oddworld: The Promised Neverland homage (pt.1)
‘Kay, so I’ve fallen down the rabbit hole that is Oddworld lore…and I was *already* a big fan of the whole concept thanks to “The Promised Neverland.”
Surely this has been done before, but I couldn’t help paying some homages to the series—especially because it fits so damn well for obvious reasons!
And honestly…this is the most fun that I’ve had with my art for a long, long time. It’s like I remembered what I love about creating, and even *how* to do it. I remember loving symbolism and the significance of imagery…like here? I loved having the plates act as a kind of sick, ironic commodity: like the Glukkons absolutely would sell off “authentic” style dish wares with which to serve their workforce up on.
And even though I’ve only been able to play both the New n’ Tasty re-release and Soulstorm, I had a lot of fun trying to kind of reconcile the designs some for Abe and Alf? Alf especially; I liked the idea of him wearing his overalls down 90’s-ish style because it kind of acts reminiscent of his old loincloth, but still keeps him as visually distinct as Abe or Toby.
Oddworld: The Promised Neverland homage (pt 2)
She hasn’t even made a formal debut on screen and yet I’m *fascinated* by the character of Sam, Mudokon Queen.
I just have so many questions: was she acting alone her decision? Did anyone else even know, or did she just wander off of her own volition to make this deal with the Glukkons? Was she truly acting in the best interest of her people or were there more selfish motives at play?
And it’s those questions that really made it so easy to draw this parallel between the original image that inspired this piece (The Promised Neverland OP 2, “Identity.”)
Because…regardless of whether she was acting altruistically or not…Sam still has blood on her hands? The blood of not just her people, but her *children.* She might not have known the conditions that they’d be brought up in, or the abuse they’d face…but she still made the decision to sell them. And she still lives in relative comfort, at least compared to Abe and the others, even if it’s nowhere near idealistic.
I sympathise with her…and yet I’m so suspicious of her? And I love that?? And I loved portraying that via a cracked and bleeding egg, precariously stitched together, much like the situation that they’re all in. Actually, like I mentioned in the other post, this is the most fun I’ve had with my art in *years.*
I made this… because of reasons!
I found this ‘poem’ in one of Mark’s DDLC gameplays, and… and it’s pretty obvious that it’s about William. And then I learned how to make gifs. So. Hope you like it!
