Sony… sigh

Thy next foe is...An isolated sand dune...Its tracks are well hidden...Shaking the earth, its gaze is upon thee...

I know this is not the worst thing that's happening in the world right now

But Sony shutting down Bluepoint 4.5 years after buying them and forcing them to work on a live service game is batshit crazy

Sony Makes Shocking Decision to Shut Down Bluepoint Games

PlayStation Studio axed

This is the best video games have ever looked and ‪there is nothing bluepoint could do to improve this ‬

This is Morthian – the youngest son of Stian & Vivanna. See here his refsheet: https://www.deviantart.com/felisglacialis/art/Morthian-reference-831521064 He’s been quite close lately so I wanted to draw him in a bit of a peaceful, spiritual setting. He's in many ways so different than his parents and siblings. His father had become a fanatic fighter and his siblings followed in their father's footsteps. His mother was gentler but she too, had a brave determination that he didn't find in himself. Morthian has a calm and peaceful nature and he doesn't like violence. He struggled quite a bit to find his place among the others as he had been raised close to the Fjordland Force's activities (a sort of organization led by his father to defend their lands against invading humans). Eventually he found his role as a healer (like his mother) rather than a fighter. 

I wanted to practice with liquid water colours and this kind of ‘glow’ technique that I find so inspiring in Khaosdog’s work. This was my very first attempt (I did this one before the previous drawing of Nintu) and I didn’t really know what I was doing. I still like how the water colour effects came out, but the glow effect failed a bit, so I edited it slightly in photoshop (just a splatter brush that mimics my traditional technique the most, no air brush or dodge effects). I've also used quite a lot of pencil this time and I learned some new techniques. Anyway - I've more ideas to draw Morthian in this style but I haven't come to it just yet -as I'm running short on time and energy :/

The title for this drawing came form a track from Beauty and the Beast www.youtube.com/watch?v=tH9RTu… – I generally associate Morthian a lot with the Beauty and the Beast soundtrack (particularly from the 2017 remake – the music was good even though the movie had lost the magic). This piece I link to his passing but also to the transformation that he underwent personally - when he learned to accept whom he is as a person and that he doesn't have to be like his father or siblings; he is ok the way he is.

Anyeay - I’ve been a bit inactive with drawing lately and I’m focusing a lot on 3D stuff, other activities and I have a shitload to do at work. So hopefully I can keep up with my every-second-week Sunday submissions again but no guarantee... ------------------------ DON'T COPY/USE ANYTHING OF THIS! Don’t use these or any other siderians as avatar in RP games and don't use them to represent some other character in role play games! They are who they are and they CANNOT represent someone else.
