Hello! I’m Z but you can call me Artbecome!

I’m an artist who likes to try new things✨

I'm not sure I ever consciously realized this until I was revisiting my second LOM HD file, but the workshops at Home actually change appearance as you unlock more and more of the facilities:

Initially, the outside of the workshops has a rock outcropping and some decayed trees, while the inside has the eventual entrances to the workshops blocked off. It would appear that what will eventually become the Smithy is being used a storage, with barrels in it, while the musical instruments and golem workshop were most likely dug out and furnished by the Geo student and Professor Bomb (wow, what incredibly generous people in retrospect pfft)

Eventually, the topside of the workshops will look like proper buildings, replacing the rock outcropping and trees!

The outsides of the individual workshop rooms also feel in theme with what they're for, with the Smithy having an anvil on top, the musical instruments one has what looks like music symbols on it (...maybe? I will admit I know next to nothing about musical notation LOL) and the golem workshop has these spiky lightning-rod looking things that brings to mind the creation of Frankenstein's monster, and golem-making is about artificial life-forms!

As for the inside hub, the well will remain, but thanks to very generous NPCs we get these nice stairs as well. The music instrument workshop room is pretty detailed actually, the stair railing at one end reminds me of a musical instrument, and the door itself has notes on it.

Decided to practice my art fundamentals by drawing something I resonated with on this islamic month of Muharram. Here's the dome of Abu Fadhl Al-Abbas shrine in Karbala, Iraq.

I really enjoyed learning about sunset lighting and perspective from this piece!

I was always interested in artworks that were created with water colour and ink, even going so far as to aspire to try and re-create this look digitally!

Here are some traditional artists I admire:

This is my contribution to the Twin Peaks fandom

There's something I realised while playing Dark Souls in New Game Plus. It's recommended that I play as reversely hollowed but risk losing humanity to enemies. This encourages me to hold on to it and keep trying to keep my humanity and stay human and alive.

"Don't You Dare Go Hollow" hits way harder now that I realise this

I understand completely now

I know all too well what it's like to be driven by fear. It makes you behave and think irrationally and it puts you in even more danger, despite you thinking you are protecting yourself.

This is exactly where Lord of Cinder Gwyn's mind was when resisting the Age of Man.

He sacrificed himself to the flame as a desperate attempt to stay alive. He burnt himself and in turn burnt the entire world with him - all in the name of fear. Maybe he is afraid of his own insignificance in the grand scheme of things, of disappearing into darkness, of the consuming embrace of death, afraid of being forgotten through time.

That is why he is still pathetically fighting the player - a last desperate attempt to emit a fiery scream to be remembered in a dying world.
