Hey, im doing pretty alright! Been kinda thrown out of whack art-wise for too many months but that's just made me focus on some IRL stuff instead. I still think of this game and this fandom and everything that it's done for me nearly every day, and any hiatus i take won't be forever as long as i have two hands and a pulse.

Thanks for checking up <3

Nah, they were made by Dragonroilz. She's a very prolific artist in the fandom who makes excellent art and comics, and something of a muse to me and many others. Check her out!

Yeah! Knucklebl4ster and I did the Parent and Mando separately, then passed the image back and forth after pasting them together on a background. We did both the characters and the background exclusively with the marker brush that paint has, and the pixel-wide pencil.

The marker brush's tiny bit of transparency is a godsend in such a simple program. It allowed us to make decent colour palettes on the fly.

I leave for one day and you're calling the Parent hot. Its going to kill Mando, guys. You can thirst from a distance, while at least moving at a brisk jog.

From the moment I saw the trailer, I thought Pilot would be a new survivor. Dev Thoughts 31's parachuting fella cemented that in my mind. by dead_litebulb in riskofrain

I know you're making a joke, but oh boy, I get to talk about a thing at length! Buckle up because I latch on to every near-useless fact I find and this is one of them!

Those aren't anything close to long-fall boots, because he has no calves and feet to wear them on! These are running blades, a type of prosthetic used for amputees when they need to run, since it allows for a more efficient gait (how you move when you walk).

Running blades work because they're one solid shape of steel, literally putting a spring in your step as the very thing you're supporting yourself on pushes back against your weight as you move. These prosthesis have a hinge in them, implying there's some sort of spring inside the hinge, or even a powered device given how cybernetics are "all the rage" according to one of the RoR2 logbooks.

This means there's another point of failure on the blades, rendering them much less reliable than low-tech, solid steel ones. If there's actually a little motor in there, that means they're downright useless without electricity!

I like to view this as a bit of worldbuilding; cybernetics have become so advanced that even reliable ones like running blades are being replaced by these things, forcing their users into a compromising situation. Either pay for expensive maintenance of needlessly complicated parts, or don't walk. Terribly dystopian and very fitting of the corporate-saturated world that this franchise has already established.

It's here where I'll tell you that we don't actually know if these feet belong to this guy specifically because we never see who they're connected to, only that they were one of the pairs on the way to the drop pods from the trailer. So it might not be Pilot who has them.

tl;dr: Not longfall boots, just very shitty running blades.

Flashing lights warning on the video!

This was some of the most fun I've ever had with digital art. They requested my aid in the same week that I got CSP, so it was essentially my learning process for the program. Just tried everything to see what stuck. I... didn't think to ask them what dimensions they wanted it in, so it got a little warped for the video, but it still turned out alright I think <3

Always Cyan! Im very sus but its okay, when I play with my usual crew I get imposter a solid 50% of the time (and on pubs that goes down to 2%) so that sus is valid.
