"I've been looking up the stars a lot, Ma. And the only story I see written across them is that we are small and insignificant and will soon disappear with hardly a trace left behind. It's a hard story, and I don't much like it. So I guess maybe what I've been trying to do these past twelve days is tell a different story. Not a big story, written across the stars, but a tiny one, written across the humble earth of the only world we ever got to know. I have no reason to think that anyone or anything will survive to ever read it. But whether that happens or not, the truth of the story remains: That once upon a time, on a planet called Earth, there lived a boy named Bashar who loved his mother very, very much. Goodbye, Ma. I love you." — Bashar Mati

2019 Horizon Inktober, n° 25, 26, 27

I didn’t like the original 25 (tasty) so I cut it and just kept the fishes merchants sell in Meridian, and I did an alternate with all the game potions. Then I wanted to make people cry (again) so I just drew Bashar planting Vantages (dark). And then I proceeded to shamelessly shame people for making Aloy wear Carja gear in The Cut xD (coat) (I reworked the dialogue a tiny bit on this one)

Horizon is really rife with opportunities to make people cry, isn’t it. What with the devastating existential despair of death, sacrifice and absolute extinction.

Excuse me 5 minutes, I need to go watch The Good News again. >.>
