What songs do you associate with Cloe?
I don't want to spoil too much so I'll give some stuff I listen to when I draw her or reminds me of her for various reasons.
Happy Birthday - The Birthday Massacre Something about the phrase "Murder Tramp" reminds me not just of Cloe (as a character) but of the fellow I've been drawing her with too. BM's entire discography really feels befitting of the story. It just sets a mood that's hard to describe, but it's something I always try to capture in all of my art. Sometimes I picture them two committing murders together while I listen to this song (among the others here).
Kimdracula - Deftones Some lyrics allude to apocalyptic elements. The earth rotting away and such. A lot of apocalyptic events surround Cloe and the entirety of the narrative.
Some random emogem I love that I listen to when I draw Cloe cause her design is very inspired by the prototypical emo boy. Also I conceived the character in either 2009 or 2010, and I listen to this to put me in that state of mind that the character occupies.
Miss Murder - AFI
Breath - Breaking Benjamin
Home - Three Days Grace
My Demons - Starset
Imaginary- Evanescence
Fine Again - Seether
(Yes I'm stuck in the past)
Jesper Kyd - Slaughter Club ‘I have chosen to embrace it’ is a line that makes me think of her.
Agent 47 is a big inspiration to Cloe. Both characters I had the thought of a struggle between wearing the facade of being a human vs accepting the role they are created and specialized to fulfill, a major thematic element in Hitman 2 (Silent Assassin) btw!
Seatbelts - on the run Song used for Mad Pierrot on Cowboy Bebop, def an inspiration for Cloe for similar reasons as 47… she is also on the run from her ‘creator’, as are her kin.
Some stuff that I also feel fit the world I am planning for Cloe. Seedy, depraved, atmospheric, desperate. Also a breakdown of reality, where things aren't quite what they seem and there's a hidden shocking and terrifying truth underlying a surface, like pests in a pretty lawn!
Bloodrayne (big inspo for Cloe btw) - Ferril Boss music
Year of SIlence - Crystal Castles
Slow Cirkus - Claudio Simonetti
Realty - Roberto Nicolosai
Silenzio Nel Caos - Ennio Morricone
I actually created a playlist of songs that fit the story in my minds eye, but it's a work in progress. These are all in there.
