THE ARTIST

#values are dead but that's okay. this actually came out pretty close to what i had in my mind and if that means that values should be dead #so be it #scarlet hollow #scarlet hollow spoilers #scarlet hollow fanart #reese kelly #joan kelly #tw blood #sd draws #i think i got the way i should work with rendering stuff (esp with lighting) but im not sure it paid off here well #aw well. doesn't matter. btw it's my favorite parental conflict from the game. and tabby's one comes second #(<- foreshadowing)#placing both kellys together and grabbing them by shoulders and shaking them and asking WHY!! WHY!!!!! i get it OKAY but still!! WHY!!!#joan building a whole CELL inside their house okay girl WHY. i get where they both come from as well as their actions but tHE CELL #the cell is the only thing im not sure i'll ever understand #was it simple paranoia taking such strong hold on joan or was it like. when you choose a course of action #and your inner sense of duty doesn't let you go off the road and act differently #(she seems like that kind of person to me. nothing - except for paranoia - stopped her from trying smth else. but she didn't did she)#.......................not to mention sybil's influence.#another thing. ive already said it somewhere but im saying it again - i really like the fact that paintings act like echo of reese's ->#-> emotions. iirc i was referenced that way in hallway scene and if you pick mystical dialogue option in ch3 when asking him abt paintings #and the way they follow him around!!! you and your little swarm of hand-drawn horrors #and another one. ttb route is awkward as hell #that's all for today..... i saved process stages for some unknown reason.... i might do a post or two with dropping the ones i have already #would be better if i didn't forget to actually save them when im drawing smth lol

Thinking about how perhaps it would have been a more permanent solution to erase qifrey's memories, or at least of what he found out in the tower, but olly decided against it. Partially because qifrey has already admitted that hurting olly is the the thing that he can stomach the least and therefore the most potent stressor. Partially because that's just who olly is—he'll always automatically think that he ought to be the one to pay the cost to save someone. Partially because he simply doesn't have it in him to take away qifrey's memories after what was already taken from him. But there is also another significant part of what influenced olly towards this solution: he wanted to keep qifrey in his life. Not just alive, not just untreed, he wanted qifrey with him. In any other scenario, he'd have to pull away, to retreat from qifrey, to refuse him more often, to stop supporting him, but olly knows he can't. He loves qifrey, not just as a boy to save anymore but as a person he can no longer imagine himself going into the future without.

Thats the thing that kills me—the solution that olly picked wasn't just about survival, it was about the future. Olly wants a future with qifrey and if that costs him some memories whilst qifrey looks for something permanent, so be it. He's willing to do this, keeps being willing to do this, over cutting qifrey out of his life in any form. And over and over again he picks this because freedom from this cycle means nothing to him if qifrey isn't free and happy and growing old side by side with him

Obsessed with that split second where his eyes widen like he isn't sure if he got her or not, and how it's followed by the most satisfied, most evil of evil Law grins ever grinned, like YES bitch get crushed! You can't even tell that moment of doubt is there at full speed, and that only makes it better.

I recommend saving the gif and going through it frame by frame just to appreciate the love that went into his eyebrow/nose wrinkles and that left cheek highlight. 10/10 anime moment. Makes me clap and cheer every time. E. 1066
