Description

I had a dream where Austin from Game Theory made a video dissecting the logic behind Esix's flame tail. Don't a single damn argument he made.

Art Notes

I'll it, my art skills are a little rusty. Then again, this is my first time trying to make an art piece that isn't shit.

I started out by deg a rough set in Blender (yes, even Esix) and going from there. The perspective on the non-Blender elements is a little kooky, especially the monitor. Shading was achieved with multiple different filter masks in Krita.

The best part of this image has to be going with brushstrokes rather than flat colors. Honestly, I really love the painterly aesthetic I attempted here, even if it was just, you know, an attempt.

Probably the part needing the most improvement is the lighting. It's kinda all over the place. You can see what I was going for, but the computer screen, flame tail, neon sign, and the nighttime light from the window is a little too ambitious for a first project.

I'll definitely revisit this piece later when I have more skill.

Blacklisted

    Better yet, if the tail is actual fire and not just a hologram, I need Austin to dissect how it is that Esix's sitting in that chair
