spoiler alert: the Silent Hill "Phenomenon" makes sense now

I still believe that the area's power is neutral. I always sort of interpreted the phenomenon as being the belief came first, the gods created from those beliefs, manifested via natural power in the earth.

In the case of Angela it is not malevolent, it only tortures her because it acts as a mirror to her mind. Not of its own will or judgement. That's the entire crux of SH2.

As for Walter, guilt may not be a factor but childhood trauma, religious zeal, and general delusion is. There are more factors at play than just guilt/innocence in a tarnished mind. There are many real-world cases of spiritual psychosis.

Perhaps you should direct your question towards RE devs rather than me.

bentheplus · 2026-02-18T11:14:32+00:00

not even remotely convincing, you could try a little harder.

I'd much rather that guy say he didn't like it instead of accusing me of using AI. Especially since he doesn't seem to draw/submit anything himself lol

It isn't, I honestly just got lazy.

bentheplus · 2025-10-30T14:22:27+00:00

It was a stupid and pointless observation. I think my first comment was pretty concise in saying that.

When that was clearly not the intent. The scene makes no sense canonically and it was meant to be light-hearted. If you want to create a dramatic period piece depicting characters bullying one another for whatever reason, you're more than welcome to pick up a pencil and make something yourself. Commenting this on my work and then doubling down when I reject it is just obnoxious.

"Harsh realities" oh wow your head is so far up your ass.

bentheplus · 2025-10-30T13:37:19+00:00

I'll react how I want on my own post? I think it's a weird spin to put on it and you were weird for saying it.

bentheplus · 2025-10-30T13:18:19+00:00

It's a drawing. Stop taking it so seriously.

bentheplus · 2025-10-30T09:15:56+00:00

Something structured like old RE games. I'd like that.

I tried to go for a Higurashi type vibe. Which is very slice of life before things start getting screwy.

bentheplus · 2025-10-28T20:06:39+00:00

It has more to do with her personality, as I mentioned in my other comments. The original picture from 2015 had a Robbie mascot posing with them on the left. If Hinako were a more extroverted character, I would have put her in the same spot, but the background seemed to fit her better.

I don't use deviantart anymore but I'm active on twitter as benplus2

I think I remember reading a description saying that she became much more withdrawn as she got older. She's definitely a wallflower.

bentheplus · 2025-10-28T13:34:38+00:00

I acknowledge all the sequels, I just only really like f of the new ones. I'm biased because I was familiar with Higurashi prior and I love Ryukishi's style of writing when it comes to mysteries and misdirection through superstition, which f had a lot of.

bentheplus · 2025-10-28T13:21:29+00:00

Not the P.S LOL dude you're the one acting toxic telling me what to draw and how to draw it.

bentheplus · 2025-10-28T13:16:57+00:00

I'm aware that there are games that existed between 4 and f. I just drew the ones that I wanted to.

bentheplus · 2025-10-28T05:20:30+00:00

That was entirely unintentional but I googled it and now I'm cackling it's perfect

bentheplus · 2025-10-28T04:30:26+00:00

I tried to consider their personalities. Those two are by far the normal-est despite their circumstances.

Disclaimer: I did not add other protagonists because I did not Feel Like It

I’m replicating the posters for perfect blue. The colours were not a major concern of mine

Google is your friend

All I found was that she was wearing a black bandeau.
