#AugustDechART Day 17 - Time

#AugustDechART Day 17 TIME

Okay, this prompt was interesting to play around with. I wanted to go with something subtle and vague that isn’t a direct/literal depiction of time, but can be read as something “poetically/metaphorically” tied to it -- because sometimes, that’s how I like to do things.

So here is mah home boi Connor, kneeling before the graves of his past selves. 

What time does to us all, eh?

#AugustDechART Day 21 - Perspective

#AugustDechART Day 21 Perspective

I have yet to arrive at this branch in the game, but when I saw that it is a possible route, it broke me. I imagined beating myself silly trying to make a decision in that moment because I have been with these bois throughout the game and I love them both so much! I would hate to be made to choose between them.

#AugustDechART Day 27 - Maze / Labyrinth

#AugustDechART Day 27 Maze / Labyrinth

This chapter in the game definitely had it going with the ‘maze’ motif. The maze drawings in the Nest and Rupert’s journal, the labyrinthine chase on the rooftops, and, not excluding, the “maize” field at the end of the chase.

#AugustDechART Day 15 - Alternate Universe

#AugustDechART Day 15 Alternate Universe

A scene that has been living in my head rent-free for years now. This isn’t technically an AU, but there hasn’t been any sort of continuation or conclusion to Alan’s and Alice’s story as of ‘Alan Wake’s American Nightmare’, so I’ll consider this an AU. An alternate universe where they have already reunited... for real.

#AugustDechART Day 30 - Marine Animals

#AugustDechART  Day 30 Marine Animals

A scene plucked from Hideo Kojima’s latest game ‘Death Stranding’. When I saw the prompt, it got me to thinking about whales (I just love whales a lot), and this eventually led me to this scene from the game itself. I hope to play the game some day soon. I have it in my library already. Just need to right hardware to support it.

#AugustDechART Day 13 (Later) Balance

Was a little late to Day 13. Anyways, recognise this scene?

#AugustDechART Day 22 - Historical

#AugustDechART Day 22 Historical

I guess the fact that I am close to finishing ‘Little Women’ (the novel), I can’t help tying the March women (sisters and mother) to this prompt, with the setting being historical... and the story (and the story behind its writing) being historic.

#AugustDechART Day 16 - Crown & Flowers

#AugutDechART Day 16 Crown + Flowers

Went back to use the first two prompts instead of Prompt #16, which is Weather. I have used it for one of the digital paintings I did of DBH Connor previously. 

Anyways, here is a portrait of our lovely duo, Ethan and Winters, Connor and Traci, Bryan Dechart and Amelia Rose Blaire, with their wedding photo as reference. A tribute to the guys who started this challenge, and also a personal practice on portraits -- because I still struggle a lot with these.
