@tomwambsgays Seemingly a Merry Christmas to none of us and merely the forces benefiting from the proliferation of this technology instead. It's tragic ๐ this site is all but unusable, saved only by extensions, mods, and the few artists brave enough to endure the suffering...
@Moonlit_Milo_ Aw, I appreciate the soft yet steady nature of him in this portrait. I'm glad you posted it ๐I've added the fic to my reading list as well and I'm looking forward to reading it ๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝ
@Nadeshiko126@Timebird84 I love the quiet intimacy between them, even in this store. You can tell they'd get each other the world, even if the world right now is that little plush... ๐ฅบ๐ฅบChristmas sweaters are complicated to draw, I especially love Connor's here. It feels very 2038 in patterning โจ
@jambu_bidjieh@Timebird84 Love love love the texture in their clothes so much oh my god... Such a beautiful artwork, the depth of field blur in the bg... And Sumo is just SO OMINOUS and they don't even notice HAHAA
@tomwambsgays Poor Markus can't catch a break in his work or in his hobbies๐๐ And I love the little striped shirt peeking out from under Connor's sweater. I've drawn him like that a lot but never thought to make it Hank's shirts. I think I'll steal that idea... ๐
December 8, 2038. The cold weather looms outside, but they cannot be hurt by it. Protected by swathes of soft light, they can heal and build a new life together. Neither will allow their traumas to rob them of their only homeโDetroit, MI

@HylorRed@Timebird84 I so badly wanted to share it as I progressed, but I knew it needed to be special ๐ thank you for taking the time to view it ๐
@glass_noodle_@Timebird84 The snippet was the first thing I wrote before I started my draft. I'm so glad it's appreciated ๐ฅน Sumo is such a big dog, the chair was the perfect place to feature him. Silly silly guard dog. Thank you for the time and attention you gave to my work ๐๐๐
@MaihemCryptids @Timebird84 Thank you so much ๐๐ I really wanted to capture my memory of Christmas at night. I got to have white lights along the ceiling of my room and it was such a magical feeling โจ I needed to make their house a place of hope for them
@tomwambsgays YES!!! I lived for the details. Hank needs to be a full-time plant man. I was so happy to reorganize/fill the bookshelf with happier things, no liquor allowed. I expected asset reuse on it in-game, but the alcohol platter used in Carl's mansion was there???๐ญ๐ญ?? so random
@Nadeshiko126@Timebird84 It was so devastating to spend so long in-game in his house to gather references because it's such a dark place for him at that time... Nothing good happens there except Connor dragging him up out of black out ๐ญ I needed to give them back the home as a safe space
@mumumumu800@Timebird84 Yes! It feels so safe sitting by a lit Christmas tree in the dark. It's such a special experience to have and it's warming up all of that cold room for them while they sleep. โค๏ธโค๏ธ I'm glad you appreciated my art so much
@Rust_in_peace1 Aw yay I'm glad the tree came across so well! ๐ It was the scariest part to me as I was working on this. I wanted to add so many more details but it was getting difficult haha
