One of a series of portraits I'm making, right now of just the major cast and villains.
Paper Mario for N64 and Silent Hill 3 are some of the first games I remember having a *real* obsession with. They both tend to be the less-loved sibling to the 2nd games in their series ironically!
What was the FIRST video game that you truly LOVED? 💜

That one special game that you would want newcomers to Retro Gaming to try over anything else...

Now's your chance to give that game the recognition it deserves. Make your case, let's get some great games in here!
Choujiro Kanta, from my horror project 'The Great Katabasis'.
An affable, cultured antagonist who runs a once-luxurious, haunted hotel, and has a hobby of trying strange foods. He is modeled and named after the folktale 'Choujiro the Horse-Eater'.

Thank you! 😁

His cooking is horrible, but he tries his best.
I'd like to write some shorts about specific characters from my horror project, as a "prequel" of sorts. Something that could stand on its own.
Little drawing of the Alekso Bros., from my horror project 'The Great Katabasis', who run a disturbed family carnival. In the main plot they are antagonists, but could easily star in their own story.

However, he becomes extremely offended and upset if you dare criticize his "cooking", even though it's usually something nobody should consume.
Rotzey Alekso, from my project 'The Great Katabasis' - an unstable man with cannibal tendencies who makes the grotesque "food" for his brothers' traveling carnival.
He is the youngest Alekso Bro., and his real name is Rothan.

From a series of portraits I'm making for general use.
I'm just drawing the major cast from both parts, so they'll have an image.
Jacqui Alekso, a talented dark magician who runs a twisted traveling carnival with his brothers, from my horror project 'The Great Katabasis'. He is the middle and sanest Alekso Bro., and the nightmarish creature "staff" of the carnival are likely his making.

He also has control over a small legion of violent, wolf-like spirits who do his bidding, and helped him break out of prison.
Marny Alekso, a criminal magician and showman for a twisted traveling carnival, from my horror project 'The Great Katabasis'. He is the eldest of the three Alekso Bros.

I feel more fairness and confidence-building towards new writers would kill some of the ChatGPT temptation.
Lack of drive and confidence, and quantity over quality culture is a lot of it, and believe me, I'd rather see YOUR work, no matter how flawed, than a stolen slurry posing as a book.
That's so cool to get to see it on the big screen. 😀
I sadly have missed most chances to see Ghibli in the theatre, Spirited Away is the only one I've seen big-screen and it was breathtaking.
I am not crazy about how this outfit turned out, it's more like just getting some of his motifs down. Love this character's hair though, thought about trying it in a ponytail in a future drawing?
Concept sketch of the villain character, Choujiro Kanta, from my horror project 'The Great Katabasis'. He is named and modeled after the folktale of Shio no Choujiro.

Sketch of the villain character, Kamanosuke, from 'The Great Katabasis', a horror project I've been working on. This is playing around with an alternate outfit. Most of the cast have 'icons' for their look, but not a decided uniform yet.

The first few 'serious' pieces from 'The Great Katabasis'. A short comic to get back into comic-making and a piece featuring the villain Kamanosuke. Obviously very much still in framework stages, though the big piece is not far from done.
Lol the whole iceberg is just the most obscure layer. 😅
It's kind of lost media, but years ago I started a Silent Hill 1 manga. Wasn't great, and only went up to where Harry finds the "dog" body - hours wasted detailing Harry's car, mostly. But the experience did make me wonder why SH has struggled so much with adaptation.
I've posted a mini-guide to every character, place, the basic story and some worldbuilding from my horror projects! 😄 It's the PDF on my Drive. Please read it if you want! The complete artwork is here too, to view as you please.
