Still Waiting

Some pictures I made while waiting around for the release of DEATH STRANDING DIRECTOR'S CUT PC. 

**Update: Wait is over!

Let's Get You Home, Higgs

Let’s Get You Home, Higgs

Higgs deserves better. He has only known hate, deceit, corruption and cruelty ever since he was a kid growing up under an abusive guardian. He needs lots of love and kindness, and he deserves a second chance at life, not purgatory and punishment. 

DEATH STRANDING DIRECTOR’S CUT is coming to PC in 1 day!

Nap With Aunt Fragile

I imagine Fragile to be a really cool aunt to Lou. 

DEATH STRANDING DIRECTOR’S CUT For PC coming in 3 (well now, 2) days! 

Heart To Heart

Heart To Heart

I have noticed something about the game as far as Sam is concerned. Whenever people like Deadman or Die-Hardman talks about the UCA and Bridges in general, Sam shows general indifference to what they have to say. Well, granted, they are normally things which he knows himself already and has little care for after Bridges I ended. 

However, when it came to the moment with Heartman, surprisingly, Sam shows quite genuine interest in what the man has to say. There seems to be quite an exchange whenever Heartman explains things to him and it’s pretty sweet. 

Hence, this little headcanon where Sam might visit Heartman and hang out and just talk about stuff. I’d imagine Sam bringing Lou along as well.

Forgiveness

Forgiveness

Some much-needed love for both of Sam’s dads, Cliff Unger and Die-Hardman. They really need their closure. The way things ended between them before Cliff was killed really did a number of Die-Hardman -- and we had the stellar scene to prove it. 

Anyways, tried to make them tears on Die-Hardman -- my first proper attempt at it... Not completely satisfied, but I think I have some basis now. Just need to work on perfecting it. 

It's Been A While

It’s Been A While

We seriously need more hugs between both Lou’s dads. Seriously. I still get very emotional thinking about that last hug between Sam and Deadman before Sam went off grid at the end of the game. 

Here’s an alternative with Die-Hardman, ‘cos I couldn’t resist.

I have finished reading Volume 1 of the DEATH STRANDING novel. It has really sweet and cool moments between characters that we never got to see play out in the game itself (probably present in the e-mails). However, there are some significant differences in several plot beats -- some of which were a little disappointing. Regardless, it was still fun to read. I’ll be pausing the story here and moving on to something else for now while I process it before going into Volume 2. 

Anyways, here is a little illustration of Mama and Lockne.

Just Igor Frank taking a selfie with BB and his big brother, Viktor.  🥲 🥲 🥲

Reading the novel has so far opened up my eyes to a lot of things about the world of DEATH STRANDING, the most notable (at least for me) being a deeper look into the supporting minor characters of the story that the game mostly briefly brushed through. 

The relationship between the Elder and Fragile’s father is one such example. Another which came earlier in the story is that of Viktor and Igor, and I find myself much more endeared to them now having known their backstory -- which makes the opening of the game all the more painful to think about now. 

(Having read these now, I do low-key wish that Kojima and his team had added them into the game somehow -- but that’s just me ‘cos I like it when media make me cry with small things like this XP)

Anyways, here be a close-up of them with BB ‘cos why not?

Just felt like I needed to paint something before bed last night. So here’s a digital landscape sketch.
