It was this version of that song that was on my Spotify that did it. Then it was meant to be a brief interlude but I was trying to avoid cel shading because I hate doing it (I’m just straight up bad at it) but the other colouring styles weren’t working out (honestly it looked fine but not what I wanted) so I guess my brain decided that I needed to work on cel shading (and in some fairness to it I had kind of gone more anime/manga with this, Dak is the only one that would dual wield guns because his cybereyes can link up with his guns).

Happy New Year! Listen to the song XD I really should have finished this piece hours and hours ago, but I got distracted reading Chronicles of Darkness books and suggesting to the kids that we try a short run to test the system out and see if we like it enough to switch. And so I don’t have a story for this one because it’s 1am. I feel bad for poor Dak, I have trouble figuring out how to shade dark skin at the best of times and dark scenes are the worst x_x I did actually start a different version of this piece on Christmas Eve but it was very sadsack (the theme song for that was Blow Up the Pokies by The Whitlams) and was basically Zara staring up at the stars being depresso (she gets depressed every Intercalary which contains AER’s New Year as she misses her mother more then) and Juan in the near background trying to work out how to deal with things (he kind of got thrown violently in at the deep end with the parenting gig) while I wallowed about how much Christmas sucked this year.
