#limbus company#ishmael lcb#ishmael limbus company#lcb spoilers#.. i guess?.. . .#i still dont know how to draw water. it gets across as water enough i hope.#technically its in reference to when she took a slight dip in the whale while still w the pequod so it isnt. Water water. but whatever work#going into the canto was just. wow thats a mirror to something. wow thats a mirror to something. wow thats a mirror to that. wow thats a mi#there was going to be more of a focus of mirroring inside the water surface as well but it didnt come out enough so.. oops#feels like the imagery is a bit obvious but ill put it here anyways. if i remember to#morse code in the back for sos. wanted to go ahead and include it since the battle theme in the dungeon for skin prophet had jt for the#second track for it and it stuck with me a lot. obligatory heart mentioned. i wanted to add more pallid like aspects into it but it#felt visually distracting. i guess i couldve put it at lower opacity but it still felt far too striking and taking away from the focal point#of ishmaels face. still wanted to put it on the rope though. talking abt the rope obligatory rope mention as well#strangling binding. compass mentioned but also in general the obsession. wanted to have the hands be bloodied like how she talked abt#the injuries she aquired when trying to go ahead and hold on for her life. holding onto that. holding onto the obsession as well then. yk#the harpoons were suppose to be different actually. more akin to a sort of striking at the heart then the more passive looking just circling#but i was having a small skill issue with drawing them. so i just grabbed the in game image during her ego and plopped it down#still wanted to have the harpoon be a point of dragging attention and literally pointing to the heart and ishmael though#the head is supposed to be at an angle but it feels lost bc of the way i handled the lighting...#the lighting doesnt have a clear source which was the trade off of not having it unintentionally mirror the cg of her subsequent rescue#since it was supposed to be the focus to that rage and obsession she has. not necessary that realization or the sort she aquires yet#i forgot to blend ish in the hair ina. section. dont. look too hard.
