hi, i'm cy! I'm just a trans guy artist who's way more into character design than illustration. More Below!
sorry for white backgrounds, twitter hates me <3
the sift being seen as a "happy fun lalalala sunshine and rainbows land" is super funny to me because the sifters are here to break your kneecaps. and the sculkers will devour you. it very much is a false paradise. almost as if the guy who made the Aether, made also the sift!
@wetcatyuri one lore interpretation I’ve been fascinated by is interpreting The Sift by a different name: “The Beginning”, it being this more prehistoric world (The Sniffer) and stuff
also really curious how they incorporate the soul/sculk stuff, which if u watch the gameplay is p important!
I love the discovery story too. An old grandpa finds what he thinks is an abandoned kitten on the side of the road and feeds it noodles and eggs for a year before realizing, “hey tilcayo, Youre not growing into a housecat, you’re just a little guy. I better tell Science”
