Description
A little fanart* of the great Shinji Mikami game** The Evil Within (called Psycho Break in Japan--what a cool name!)--mainly wanted to find an excuse to draw humans again aha~
*Possibly more fanart to come! (Correction: 90 percent certain probably more to come...quite a bit of sketches...I'm sorry everyone. --not sorry--)
**Please bear with me as Mikami created a huge chunk of my childhood, and I adore his games. (Phoenix Wright/Devil May Cry/Resident Evil/etc.)

I'm trying to streamline my style with the new hardware, and I think I've fallen in love with these soft cel-shading pieces, though they take me a while to do. Would anyone like commissions of these? I don't know how I'd price them, but I'd love to do more. Humans or humanoids though please--I don't think I'm ready to cel-shade fur or scales or feathers yet ahahaha~

Comments are welcome! c: (Optional small readable tangent below about The Evil Within, if you guys want to hear my ramblings aha~)

So um...here's Joseph with his trusty fire axe--I have to say out of all the survival horror co-op AIs I've played with, Joseph's definitely one of the more capable ones (INFINITE AXE COMBOS, and not needing to use my health items/ammo--I approve!), and his levels were of the more fun "shoot-bang" variety in the game. Though Joe, seriously--what is with you and constantly getting bodied all the time in cutscenes? You dainty little thing, so capable and yet so fragile. Stop that. --facepalm--

Anyway, the game is a whole lot of fun, and if you wanted a proper spiritual sequel to RE4 (or a proper sequel after RE4 in general) then there you have it! Not a scary game at all, though very tense and at times a tad creepy, in a "boo! haunted house!" kinda way. I can't get over the great "environmental" design most of the levels have, especially certain boss fights, such as The Keeper and Laura encounters. So I guess in a review sense, it's a decent overall game, but no gold stars for anything other than environment utilization. (Unless you count touching on nearly every horror trope in existence as a record breaker, because there's a LOT of that, and unfortunately none are particularly unique in their implementation. I could type a whole paper on this pfffff~)...8.5?

Eh, I'm still playing the game, so it's decent. I missed decent third-person survival horror. (The Last of Us is also a great third-person survival game, but not very horror--it's more towards post-apocalyptic literature in nature and a focus on tension and cinematic/narrative sequences, before anyone tries to bite me.)

Also people, if you're going to get the game, get it for PC. You can console-command the code and take the nasty blue/grey filter off everything and suddenly the game turns beautiful and saturated with lighting effects. You can also set it on 60 fps and have the option to take off the letter-boxing on the game from the latest update on the game, if you so choose. The unfiltered lighting effects are so crisp, with strong blacks/shadows and bright vibrant colours/lights--I seriously don't know why Mikami decided having everything all grey/blue was a good idea...oh well, I guess I'll never understand.
