Portrait for Sourisdedog 🪶
Step-by-step:
"I knew you'd be back. You all come back eventually. Just like this town, you're only moving in circles."
My first post! For my final assignment last year I had to recreate a movie poster, but then I had a better idea...why not create my own for something that will most likely never have a movie ever!
I played Echo with my friend earlier in 2024 because they had recommended it to me for having an insane story and boy was I not disappointed! All of the characters are so well rounded and realistic, and the situations they're put in are so horrifyingly creative, it enthralled me until the very end! I gotta say that I enjoyed Flynn's route the most as I sort of related to him the most, despite him (and by extension, all of the characters) being less than good people, but god his route was so impactful, and his epilogue even more so. I highly recommend this game to anyone who likes psychological horror written with that good extra 'haunted southwest' flavor!
Design wise, I wanted to copy the demo menu screen because I think the focal point being Chase in terms of movie production would be clever foreshadowing, while also keeping that half-face influence. I took the backgrounds from the game files itself so I don't have any ownership of them, but Chase I rendered completely on my own.
Here's some extra versions I submitted, along with a blu-ray cover that was also required for my final.

Hey, look at me. Look at me. I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again: you need to condition yourself to being okay with being inconvenienced by things. The first time I spoke about this I meant it in a mental health way- it is good to go out to the store and see people versus just ordering alone at home- but there is another more pressing societal issue you should be more concerned about as well.
Any service you rely on for convenience can be weaponized against you the moment you begin to rely on it. Streaming used to be a cheap and convenient way to see movies at home. It is now exorbitantly expensive, you need multiple accounts just to get what you want, and any of those movies can be taken from you at any time. And unless you have gotten used to going through the “inconvenience” of owning physical media, you can do nothing about it. Same goes for buying things on Amazon. Same goes for any service like DoorDash etc. These companies WANT you to be reliant on them for convenience so they can do whatever they want to you because, well, what else are you gonna do?
Same thing goes for the uptick in AI. If you train yourself to become reliant on AI for doing basic things, you will be taken advantage of. It is only a matter of a couple years before there are no free AI services. Not only that, but in the usage of AI’s case, it is robbing you of valuable skills that you need to curate that you will be helpless without the moment the AI companies drive in the knife the way they have done with streaming. Delivery. Cable. Internet. Etc. It will happen to AI too. And if you are not practicing skills such as. Writing. You are not only going to be at the mercy of AI companies in the digital world, but you are going to be extremely easy to take advantage of in real life too.
I am begging you to let go of learned helplessness. I am begging you to stop letting these companies TEACH you helplessness. Do something like learn to pirate. It is way more inconvenient at the beginning, but once you know how, it is one less way companies can take advantage of you. Garden. Go to the thrift store (older clothes hold up better anyway). These things take more time and effort, yes, but using time and effort are muscles you need to stretch to keep yourself from being flattened under the weight of our capitalist hellscape.
Inconvenience yourself. Please. Start with only the ways you are able. Do a little bit at a time. But do something.

Little one-off song while I'm studying for some examinations. Also, this account recently turned nine years old, which is kind of incredible!

popular YouTube channels are great and informative until they make a video about a topic you're informed on and then the house of cards comes crashing down as you realize how utterly wrong they are about most things

New Album!
As of a few days ago, I've finished my second album! I'm still working out the last details with the artist of the album art, but the music itself is complete, and I'm hoping to be able to release everything sometime within the next week. Here's the second track, "Immer unter demselben Mond"
Full quality uploads coming to bandcamp as soon as possible; Enjoy!

Another one of these. I used india ink with some photoshop for color. Also got to try out some gold ink for this one which was really fun.
I am having profound difficulty focusing for more than like thirty seconds today
Look at these colors! This is incredible
Another huevember experiment
I’m a huge fan of people making mashups with John Coltrane’s Giant Steps, since it’s such a weird challenge to bend most pre-existing melodies around the changes, and never has one make me do as much of a double take as this one. The first time I heard it, I hated it; And yet like two days later it was still in my head. I’ve gone through the stages of grief with the fact that I completely seriously like this
