Description Sometimes, even the most simple sounding task can be impossible to overcome. Sometimes the roads won’t open, the clues won’t show themselves.

On times like that, one would easily think life is not worth living at all.

The Red one had been searching for the Mountain path for long enough to say that it had been forever. Many had passed it, left it behind, with capes ornate and beautiful, signaling they had already completed the Journey. It was sad. Its life had only one purpose, yet it couldn’t even fulfill that single mission.

Then it found the Other.

The Other was just as alone as it was. Although while the Red one was small, fragile and delicate, the Other was nearly twice as tall, strong and looked like it had been on the desert much longer than the Red one could ever imagine. It even had arms resting on its knees when it sat next to the crumbled wall, signaling the smaller one to step inside. Upon doing so, the Red one shyly let out a note, then another. The Other replied, with a voice much lower, but just as unsure and shy.

Days passed by, and the two spent their days walking on the desert, singing their songs to each other. The Other knew where the Mountain was. Longinly it had gazed onto the sunset, always knowing it could not reach the sacred place. Because upon the priviledge of gaining a pair of arms and growing strong, it had lost the ability required to complete the Journey. The ability to fly.

That’s when the Red one had an idea. Notes began to flow from the excited little creature as it fluttered around the Other, making it spin around confused. But the Other already knew what was on the Red one’s mind.

Together, they could complete the Journey.

YEAH PEOPLE I DO DRAW OTHER THINGS THAN POKEMON ;;;;xD

Now that I was freed from the oct comic for a while, I decided to draw Journey art! I've been doodling these two onto my notebooks for as long as I first played Journey at my friend's place, and they've developed a little story of their own. So I decided to give them a proper illustration :'D Excpect to see more of these guys every now and then. They have no names, at least not yet >u>

Your welcome after all Journey is a new thing but those buttholes couldn't make the game for different consoles, like the Xbox 360!

dragonpixies In reply to Zhoid [2012-09-10 02:02:19 +0000 UTC]

I kinda think the red journey characters fit with the story more, just the way they're so elegant and floaty. The beta wanderers look very robust. If they made some sort of sequel, it might be better if they modeled it a bit around the way the character looks.

Zhoid In reply to dragonpixies [2012-09-10 19:00:36 +0000 UTC]

Well, that's true yes :'D but I kinda like how different they look. As if they even were of two completely different species.

Who's the black guy? I've seen him in several pictures in pixiv, but have only seen the red and white journeyers in-game :0

Zhoid In reply to DragonFiresongs [2012-09-05 14:01:57 +0000 UTC]

The black one is a design which has been seen in the Journey concept arts but never made it to the actual game :U I heard some rumors that they might be in the sequel though.

Beautiful picture. When you begin to play with the other's presence in Journey, the game really becomes breathtaking, moving, exciting. Here, I love how you differentiated them... And ow, your small story. Ow.
