Description My favorite indie game of all time. Art, music, gameplay, story. Everything is just perfect. Been meaning to make a tribute drawing for a while, and finally got around to doing so.

Mostly watercolor, with some copic markers and colored pencils for texture. I really enjoyed working on it. It’s been a while since I used traditional media. β™₯

Oh, sweet! When working with watercolors, it's really all about layers, layers, and more layers. You start out really light, all over your canvas, and then you gradually build up color. It makes it easier to fix than if you started out too dark haha.

Ah, Bastion? I keep hearing the rave reviews! It looks fun, I would like to play it at some point. Wish it was for PS3; I don't have an xbox and my computers aren't really set up for gaming. :c

Oh mann, if you ever get the opportunity, PLAY IT. You won't regret it. I wish it was on PSN too since I don't have an XBox and it wasn't available for Macs at the time I played it. I resorted to playing it on my boyfriend's Xbox haha.
