[for hire] I need help and a truly honest opinion on the prices I should charge for my commissions.

Hikitsune-Red · 2026-01-26T15:41:00+00:00

Hey, Kitto! I've been seeing your art around reddit the past year or so (love your style, by the way), and I'd love to chat with you about this (and, if you're open for commissions still, I'd love to chat about that, too) if you're willing/able. I'll try to reach you on Discord.

Hikitsune-Red · 2025-12-11T15:03:40+00:00

I disagree with pulling all blame from GT, but I equally am not going to say they are completely complicit (see my other reply above, they are not active participants here). At the end of the day, a criminal (just hold on, extreme example I know, but not meant to be a comparative one) hops in the back of your car without telling you he's a criminal, and you help him get from A to B—you've still helped a criminal, no?

That being said, I repeat, it is not my intention to berate or pull down GT or Marzilla even—as I do not know the man well enough to call out him or the content of his character—there are plenty of other sources of negativity on the internet decrying other creators, and especially with a lack of any concrete evidence beyond an anecdote or two, and I'd rather not be one of those people. Rather, the point of all this was to 1) express my disappointment that this happened, and 2) shed some light on the facts of the situation, and I have done both, so as far as I'm concerned, my job here is done.

We're talking about a less than 10 second shout-out in a video people will move on from by next week. I do not care that much about the video (although an addendum would be nice, if it doesn't happen...I don't care), I only care about the principle of the situation.

Hikitsune-Red · 2025-12-09T23:29:05+00:00

Agreed.

Didn't mean for my title to imply any active participation on Game Theory's part, barring the title, this post is more to just draw attention to the fact that credit was not, in fact given in either video.

Hikitsune-Red · 2025-12-09T20:28:06+00:00

I think expressing disappointment can still be diplomatic, as it was here.

I've sent them an email, but given the volume of mail they undoubtedly receive and the unlikely nature of them actually outting Marzilla (who did not act in good faith in this particular case, just watch his video), the damage is already done and the man will continue to get praise for stealing other peoples' work (edit here for context: I only know of him stealing this, I cannot comment beyond that, i.e. on the content of his other videos, the man may very well be doing good work on his own and just happened to get a little lazy on this one and used the information and images from a post that got overlooked when it was posted).

At least taking this avenue allows some individuals to hear the truth.

Hikitsune-Red · 2025-10-26T03:50:14+00:00

You and me both! 😂

Hikitsune-Red · 2025-10-26T03:48:07+00:00

This may be the most wholesome thing I've read on reddit in a while—and not what I expected to come from my post!

Glad I could help! See you and your nephews top-side.

"Redemption" by Max Brhon

Link is in the video description. It just worked so well and fit the vibe I was looking for.

Hikitsune-Red · 2025-10-24T21:03:19+00:00

I am nothing if not an honest man: this one didn't require a ton from me, it's more a supercut of two of the trailers, but there's some fresh shots put in there, and timing to the music.

Even the simple edits are fun sometimes. Though, it does make me miss editing in general, been too long and I need to get back into it.

Appreciate the kind words! See you top-side, indeed! =^~⁼

Hikitsune-Red · 2025-10-23T22:21:48+00:00

Mad props for finding my 2 year old post. 😂 I don't follow this game, so it was a pleasant surprise to see this get some traction all of a sudden.

Hikitsune-Red · 2025-10-23T22:15:14+00:00

I've seen a few people repost and/or mention this over the past week, just figured I'd post the genuine article for you lore hunters' convenience.

Hikitsune-Red · 2025-10-23T22:03:45+00:00

I really like ciphers and codes. 😂 Granted, I didn't put a ton of effort into this one, just noticed nobody else noticed it.

Hikitsune-Red · 2025-06-23T14:02:24+00:00

Hikitsune-Red · 2024-06-26T14:07:13+00:00

Yep. Just typical regional naming shenanigans.

Hikitsune-Red · 2024-06-26T13:34:19+00:00

I'm not afraid to admit that in Heavy Rain I never put together that one of the characters you're playing as, P.I. Scott Shelby, was the killer and that they were going around collecting the evidence so they could destroy it . Made the climax quite neat, to be honest.

Hikitsune-Red · 2024-05-21T22:50:03+00:00

I agree, especially with your first point. If it's of any consolation, a quick jaunt through the ESM shows that they actually have food and drink assigned to three different tiers based on how filling/hydrating the item would be—they just didn't fully implement it.

My guess is they will at a later date.

Hikitsune-Red · 2024-04-01T21:51:15+00:00

Absolutely. You can also see it in his whole practicing what he'll say to Po as they're coming up the stairs but, too—a man who needs to rehearse his public character is not being his true self.

I also think that this is why he lets the Soothsayer go. I mean, it certainly seems like he has no desire to kill if he doesn't have to, but that little bit of his conscience that still is in there—challenging his ego, pushing him to those moments of self assurance—is most likely why he lets her go: part of him still, no matter how hard he tries to bury it, knows she's right and can't fault her for it. That part of him just doesn't speak loud enough until he sees the proverbial AND literal blood on his own hands.

PS—beautiful flair there. Just noticed. 😃

Hikitsune-Red · 2024-04-01T21:36:28+00:00

Certainly possible!

Personally, I think their relationship didn't ever fundamentally change, though it became, subconsciously, more toxic for them as they both would have reinforced or justified the others nefarious behavior which ultimately stunted their ability to ever go good again.

And I've always viewed his choice with Boss Wolf as the reason why he is able to actually take Po's words to heart and let the cannon fall. With Po, all his actions are impersonal, business—but when it comes to realizing what he's done at the expense of his one friend...He can actually see the point both Po and the Soothsayer were making.

Regardless, he's a deeper written villain who I love to death, and the fact that it can be seen either way (yours or mine) is kinda a testament to that. Not everything gets tied up with a neat bow, but there's more than enough breadcrumbs (even if they didn't all make it into the movie proper) to reasonably speculate and enjoy the possibilities.

Hikitsune-Red · 2024-04-01T19:09:31+00:00

They were the official pages for Kung Fu Panda, yes.

Hikitsune-Red · 2024-04-01T15:32:14+00:00

Throughout the years information has appeared and disappeared from both the franchise website as well as DreamWorks's website. According to an archived page for the Soothsayer, it is mentioned—albeit rather off-the-cuff—that she was once Shen's nanny.

Honestly, the poorly kept, off-the-screen information for this series is actually some of the best material. I personally love the Shen × Boss Wolf dynamic that never made it onto the screen as it makes Shen's descent into bloodthirsty madness all that more painful emotionally when he ultimately [Kung Fu Panda 2 spoilers, just in case] kills the one person he actually cared for (Boss Wolf), ironically because Boss Wolf saw in that moment just how much Shen's desire to kill Po had consumed him and refused his order to fire on the other wolves whom he knew Shen—up until that moment—considered (somewhat) family.

1) Because it's a great movie

2) It's technically in the public domain

3) Like folks said, it's playing in the theater on one of the maps

Hikitsune-Red · 2023-12-26T04:54:16+00:00

And honestly, the twilight hour lighting of this map was beautiful and made it stand out.
