A New Light

Do you guys like my portrait of Simon? Think I got his nose right? /silly

I was inspired by deadlymelodic's concept images of the Light and the Blood Tree, along with my theory that the Light is a disembodied human soul. It wasn't meant for us to see, right?

Riffing off of a BTS storyboard scene where Simon's conscious being explodes into a ball of fire, I utilized the same colors that made him up (that being orange, purple and teal.) Here are some gifs I made!

I am obsessed with the "stick people" clinging to the blood tree. I've always interpreted them as Simon's victims and those he lost; the people he placed into his soul and tried to move on from with them dragging behind. I took a little creative liberty and decided to surround the new light with orbiting blood! I also used pictures of steak for the blood ocean surface texture, and based the formation around the new light off of a quasar.

This piece took me eight hours. Here are some unfinished shots:

Him he too goddamn big for him blood pool

Had to fucking double dip Simon in the Marinara sauce

Bonus, fluffy hair and a joyous smile, unlike 99.9% of Simon's on screen time, where he is moist and miserable. As good characters should be.

Ok so the thing about radiation is that it's hot.

Like there was an incident with an orphan source where 3 men found this piece of iron that was warm and used it as a heater. Stayed around it all night for warmth and carried it on their back. All three got really bad radiation burns from it and were often in and out of the hospital. At least one of them died.

(And if an orphan source is glowing, you're fucked. You need to throw that thing as far away from you as you can and fucking run. Your hand may not survive but you might.)

Onto Iron Lung: you remember how Simon was complaining about how hot it was in the ship? Do you remember how long he was in there for? How many pictures he took? How many times he used the camera for light?

He was never coming out unscathed.

I think Iron Lung deserves to be Oscar nominated for the makeup and I'm completely serious. Tiny splashes of blood he didn't know to clean off because he doesn't have a mirror slowly turn into burns and then holes in Simon's head and you don't notice at all until it's too late. You think, oh, that must have been a burn all along, I guess, that's why it was still there. The bandages get bloodied, and then bloodier from the inside. Keeping makeup like that consistent at all is already a nightmare and they made it an arching plot point. The only makeup job I didn't care for was at the very, very end, and it's for the usual "building on top of because you can't take away from the surface" reasons, it's completely fine from this size production.

Something something the oxygen meter going up and Simon somehow having enough air for days longer then he should and how the sub essentially becomes a part of Simon and how blood carries oxygen and what is the purpose of a real Iron lung anyways and iron is what carries oxygen in human blood after all and the blood trying to make him one with the ship because it was already breathing for him and the eldritch forces genuinely can't understand why he's still fighting to maintain his autonomy and sense of self in the face of something so much bigger than him, when it would just be so much easier and less painful to allow himself to be subsumed

Something about the indomitable human spirit in the face of something that's so incomprehensible that it can make metal breathe for you

I like how Mark & his team were able to work in the frog (it’s called “frog” in the game files) from the ending of the game into the movie, by having it’s blank white eye rush past Simon in the nightmare sequence.

I love how they were able to expand on and explain oddities in the game such as “why does the SM-13 -a cheap burner sub- have a valuable computer system in it?” To download the blackbox data from the SM-8!

“How can the camera take pictures if light can’t pass through blood?” It uses X-Rays instead!

“Wouldn’t that mean it slowly irradiates Simon every time it’s used?” Yes!

“Wait, doesn’t that also mean that it would only show the bones of a creature, and not the whole thing; meaning you can’t tell if it’s alive or dead?” Also yes!

This movie‘s attention to detail is insane. 10/10.

Aerospace Engineer Looks at SM-13 for the First Time

So, I'm friends with someone who makes airplanes for a living. They wish to remain anon. I tossed them some SM-13 renders to see if they could make anything of it (for wiki purposes), and got this in response...

The only thing left they had to say:
