Thank you so much! I’m thrilled you connected with the character. The concept was written by a close friend for their game, so I can’t take full credit. But yeah, an alchemist hermit prolonging their life through magic and machines.

This piece was inspired by the great Sean Äaberg, his art has been (and continues to be) a massive inspiration to me.
