Hello! I wanted to ask for a clarification regarding commissions! I'm sorry to be so dense, but "personal use only", I take means vs commercial use, or people slapping the art on merch and the like.

However I was wondering what that means in regards of posting/sharing it. When you finish a commission piece, do you publish it to your own blog and tag whoever commissioned it, like I've seen others do? Or do you message the art privately to that person and no one else is meant to see it?

Again, really sorry if this is an obvious question. I honestly don't know.

Basically it’s just to keep people from selling my work without having discussed it. Of course you are absolutely free to post it and use it for social media, etc.! I do not mind at all if people do whatever they’d like with their drawing, just so long as it’s not being like put into AI or things like that. I’ve had plenty of commissions for logos and such that people use for their merch, which is totally fine! Same with music videos and such, because I knew that’s what the project was and what they planned to do with said art. I guess it’s more a precaution to cover myself with my art, if anything. I’ve seen too many “stores” or sellers use artwork without permission, including my own, so just covering my bases. Idk if that helps, but yeah. 😅

I know I don't ask much about Control, but I am a fan of that game as well. It's apparent that you are a fan of Arish and Dylan-how do you feel about Director Trench? About Marshall? How about Langston?

Honestly I'm hard pressed to find a single character in this game that I dislike kjdsfhskjdfh. Everyone's so human feeling and so fascinating and almost-real.

I love Trench, and I really wish we could've seen more of him, both pre- and during the Hiss. I would've loved to see him as an agent, and as the new Director. I have really no basis for it, but I feel like the Trench we talk to in the Hiss dream really is Trench (I have a whole hairbrained theory abt how kjdhfkjhdsfh)

Marshall, same deal about seeing her early days-- I think she's a lot more caring than people give her credit for, and it comes out as hardness because she's been so much and made herself the one to make hard decisions and be stalwart. Just like with anyone, I have qualms with some of her choices, but I easily see how she made them-- everyone's super human-feeling, like I said.

Langston is great, his coworkers are way too mean to him sdkhdjf he has this weird vibe of being an excellent worker while seemingly also kinda doing like. not the bare minimum, but like. man just wants to work and go home kjsdfhkjsdhf but I think some of his ideas are worth exploring!

Do you think Wilson is being off putting on purpose or does he actually think he's being charming when he's talking to Audrey in the start?

I like to think that’s just how he actually is and he thinks he’s really normal and totally not creepy at all.

Any chance you might toss out a piece for Wilson here and there?

Of course. There will be art with Wilson. ;)

You burn down the forest after that reveal? .p. Any hopes/predictions for Alan Wake 2?

nah my light got snuffed out and I'm sprinting through the PNW away from the living darkness ksejfhsejfhsek

Gosh I don't even know, I'm just excited to have it! I would love to see some furthering of Alan's character and emotional state because I'm always attached to those kinds of developments, and I found the Alan Wake DLC and him in AWE very relatable.

I've always had a hunch that he might end up an inadvertent villain, or even a villain but not out of want, but narrative necessity. It would be really bittersweet and interesting to explore.

I wanna see Rose and Sarah Breaker and Alice so bad! I would love to see a camera game mechanic of some kind (both the idea of a photomode and a camera being used in game for game purposes-- though idk if 'photomode' and 'survival horror' go together). And Mr. Scratch, that wonderful horrid grody dude. Wanna see him up to his general shenanigans again.

Seeing the Alan Wake world in the newest graphics Remedy has is gonna be beautiful. And the music! I'm ready.

Alan Wake finds himself thinking his own thoughts as a narrative. Not a drop of ink finds paper, but the words flow unrelenting.

I found myself sliding through each memory, doubt gnawing and consuming what little of me was left. I was standing in a barn, shining a flashlight into beams. I was following Barry down a darkened forest road. I was in New York, utterly alone in my dark apartment. I was in the desert, watching stars crash to earth. I was watching Alice, bag up my things in plastic bags, placing them in banker boxes. I was holding a shoe box in my hand.

Something cold and sudden pulls his consciousness back into his body, sliding into his head and mouth and teeth with a frigid cold. There's a shoebox in his hand. He tries to grasp the memories fleeting away from him. There's vague shapes, images-- glimmers of light and color and faces he thinks he knows, before they're gone, like mist. Plot lines, fading. But the shoebox remains in his hand.

He pulls another slip of paper out, carefully lining it up on the desk in front of him, observing his poem. If only he could always write like this. Maybe then he'd be finished.

Just plastic.

He turns back to the shoebox full of scraps.

ONE WORD WRITING PROMPTS ;

Since you invited, have you read Psycho Thriller? It was a free online comic that Remedy released that was supposed to take place a little after the events of Alan Wake. I ask because there are some interesting implications in the comic concerning the Taken-and if you believe they correlate to the Hiss, then it could count for them too.

I haven't! :O I knew there was an Alan Wake comic floating around but I've never gotten ahold of it. I have the book that was supposed to be written by the guy in the beginning dream in the game that I've been meaning to read as well, but just haven't gotten around to it.
