wanted to make a quick fanart of @arrownickey character, Life's Greatest Illusion. I know I usually draw wof stuff but I may have liked playing Rainworld too much to not talk about it.
Especially that I love the concept of iterators - I'm not sure I fully get them (don't want to spoil myself the game) but playing a rat in post-ap game and finding out about sentient AI built to allow the long gone civilization to reach ascension, tossing aside their earthly desires, which is impossible, as the only possible way iterators found to do so was death is... addictive. And also trying not to die thousand time to a rouge vulture or figuring out how to make friends with packs of feral, pearl-loving radioactive cats
And Illusion is one of those iterators that couldn't fulfill the purpose they were built for, so even though they started as a simple machine, they grew sentient enough to hate, their creators, their situation, maybe themselves. Because how can you tear a sentient being out of void, shove them into the cold, brutal reality, to satisfy those that cannot be satisfied, to not love them despite how hard they try?
Tasty idea
