rainy day
RW art month day 29: the watcher
I'm totally new to this, but it was fun to make I'll do more...maybe tomorrow...maybe in a week...or a month
You can find and use them from here (watch out, watcher spoilers aren't spoilered!) (don't look at the rest of my profile..... it's a mess)
SMALL WATCHER SPOILERS UNDER CUT
(if anyone gets the that's a dead kid reference, i would be very, very happy....)
i made a wizard nightcat :3
Too bad im a console user :/
past and present, looped together
WATCHER SPOILERS
so I recently realised there is an ancient mask inside spinning tops room!! \/
I assume this spinning top's mask so I drew a doodle of them with it!!
ignore their terrible clothing design though I don't have a full design for spinning top yet
funky little guy
BONUS COMIC \/
there MIGHT be an infestation about to happen you poor, poor, ancient,, ( although not actually I doubt prince can actually infect ancient urban for whatever reason )
ignore the spelling mistake, I know English trust
watcher spoilers! stupid watcher doodle + small yap
I think the watcher is technically still a pup. forcefully put into the role of a powerful being.
like similar to monks age. but monk isn't a God lol.
this was inspired by this spinning top dialogue
a tasty little god sausage!!!!
I think my favorite aspects of the watcher (spoilers but you already went through all of it already. maybe tag this for ppl that haven't?? idk just covering the bases so I can say this) is the diversity of the locations coupled with all the new environmental aspects. Desolate Tract and Signal Spires are probably my favorite places. also. ROT VOID WORM. GENUINELY. HARMFUL TO MY PSYCHE HRJGAJAHZAGNGBGH. idk just dumping this here because I'm following you and I need to throw the afterthoughts of the rollercoaster at someone who has beaten it already. still trying to organize all my theories but holy moly is it insane
again obvs, WATCHER SPOILERS
\/
like many others I have mixed opinions on the regions, some of the regions were absolutely stunning, some i liked were desolate track, rusted wrecks and outer rim. but some regions did feel a lot less peaceful as those ones, and I personally felt that some of the regions feel out of place. with the vanilla map you have context but in the watcher all you have is what you see right now. and I think this part of the watcher is brang down even more by the fact some of the spawns are awful, and how you are ACTUALLY clueless on where to go.
currently I think I have my big theories down rn, but yeah it's definitely A LOT to process through and think about
my thoughts on watcher in its ENTIRETY
\/
MAJOR SPOILERS
also some watcher art I forgot to post
the watcher. was one fuck ton of a roller coaster. from the excitement of opening the game, to the annoyingly slow progress, to the absolute devastation of the throne and unfortunate evolution. to finally. the first ending. the past ending
I struggled heavily throughout the campaign, progress feels impossible and gameplay wise it's not the best, but it does make up for it lore wise.
I was absolutely devastated over the future ending and Prince and the rot taking over. but now I've taken the time to think I think it's interesting, I at least believe prince is interesting. the rot trying to replicate an iterator, as that's where it's dna is based. and even more cooler, in unfortunate evolution where the rot replicates VOID WORMS. it's such an interesting concept, but it makes SENSE. iterators are powered by VOID FLUID, of course the rot would also imitate it.
as for the past ending. seeing this ending definitely shifted my view in the watcher entirely, and I don't think without it I would enjoy the watcher the way I do now, it's a perfect contrast to the future ending. you get to see the ancients and how they lived. the echo talks about how they were raised with other children by multiple people! overall, gameplay, the watcher is frustrating and slow and so, so much backtracking without any knowledge of where to go, but lore wise and how it's story is shown? absolutely beautiful. to the point it did almost cry lol.
also I believe the past ending takes place on pebbles! the pearls on the shelves are the same colours as the ones in his chamber! but there is definitely no solid proof. I hope the future updates add onto this side of the timeline more, and we can see how they lived more
rainworld watcher shitpost and some comments \/
HEAVY SPOILERS BELOW
watcher lore meme bc I cannot cope with how rainworld (as the cycles ) ends
you're telling me EVERYTHING just turns to mush? everything is destroyed because of one iterator?. it would have to be one crazy butterfly effect ig.
idk I'm biased cuz it's pebbles and I'm still processing everything too. but honestly I just want to go back to my cosy au where the rot doesn't happen and sunstone make out sessions and its a happy ending 💔
also don't get me wrong the watcher dlc is great btw
I'M SO HYPED FOR TODAY'S TRAILER I CAN'T SIT QUIETLY 'M SO EXITED HELP
I did this awhile ago and forgot to post it lmao. Redraw of the watcher's main ending!
Day 25-26 - Karma 3 and Create spears - had a deeper idea about tying Spearmaster and the karma 3 sing but gave up cause it felt too busy. Day 29 - Nightcat - after that trailer the only thing I can associate Nightcat aka the Watcher with is the void. Day 30 - Overseers Day 31 - Unfortunate development - was worried about spending too much time on it. End up liking the end result so worth it.
Have one more drawing to finish up in the coming days.
