Hopefully it was fast as in "time goes by fast when you're having fun." Congrats
No. It's time goes fast because I have lost track of time trying to survive in a pandemic ridden capitalist dystopia. It has been a rough year when I think about it, and having a website to escape to has been a relief. But I have made an effort to have some fun here and there though.
there's a pretty good newsletter explaining this phenomenon through how this relates to mental health: https://mentalhellth.xyz/p/the-buzzfeed-ification-of-mental?s=r
"You can call it a culture war" - the γculture warγ is part of the zeitgeist the mind poison you identify thrives in. Symptom of a disease.
Feeling my own body breaking down/recovering slower from injury really opened my eyes about just how OLD I am.
All of these look amazing. There is something about your art in these pieces that makes it feel like it has a "pixel limit". Whatever the case may be, I really enjoy the idea of the deep orc and it made me think about applying that concept to other biomes. Then sprang the thought of ancient egyptian gods as champions of each orc kin. Good art makes the imagination run wild.
Glad you liked them. I wouldn't call it a "pixel limit", my main inspiration for these was the 1st Edition D&D Monster Manual where the illustrations were printed really small, likely to save on printing costs. I'm immitating that style even though I don't have that limitation.
