Happy Valentine's, here's Bruharvey in a heterosexual situation.

Caught in an Affair.

If I were in charge, they would interact with each other like this half the time.

Super quick thing I had to get out of my head.

Not a ship BTW.

These are kinda just little nothings, just experimenting with backgrounds and environment details and the like before I start something else.

Also, yes, Jason's room has no view, just a brick wall of the next building. Poor thing. He likes to imagine the rain droplets racing.

Ok, so, there aren't any decent isolated voice clips of Harvey speaking in this game anywhere that I could find (I have searched). There are some on YouTube, but they are either extremely low quality, leave out certain dialogue, or they contain all the background noise that sometimes muffles details in Troy Baker's performance, notably in the batmobile segments.

For example, you can hear Harvey's breath hitch before he continues speaking to Bruce, as if to stop himself from crying, which you CAN'T hear in-game unless you somehow have the voice audio cranked all the way up! (Or *maybe* wearing headphones).

So, when you want something done right, you have to do it yourself. Originally I was just going to keep this for my server but I decided to post here too. Enjoy some Harvey ASMR!

NOTE: There is still some background noise/articles/warps in the Two-Faced Bandit intercom dialogue because sometimes in order to prompt Harvey into talking, you have to attack his men, therefore causing extra noise over his dialogue, which is hard to isolate. The same issue is present in the cell dialogue, because in order to get all his dialogue, you must have all other Rogues in the cell with him, and Pyg doesn't shut the fuck up. Also with the fear toxin sequence - some lines are impossible to get perfectly because Harvey will shoot as he speaks. Lastly, the only line I know is missing from the DLC is when Harvey says: "Sorry, kid. This is a man's game," when Tim enters the throne atrium. That's because it's fucking impossible to get it without Harvey's men grunting over it, lmao. But it's not too important of a line.

Bonus thing under the cut (if the cut works, it may not, lmao).

Normally, I would have just posted that with the usual AAAAAAAAAAAAs and whatnot, but I knew I wanted to do something special with this. And, oh right, I just happen to be a custom framer at Michael’s.

Photos don’t do this justice, because the colors (both the print’s and the framing materials I chose) are much richer in person. Doing this really made me appreciate Ward’s use of color.

Designing and assembling this was one of my tougher jobs, and I really wish I’d been taking photos of the whole process just so you could understand how much work went into this. First, a custom-order two-tone frame, made from two separate frame designs of the same molding.

I also sprung for a silver fillet with a nice tarnished look, resembling a coin and/or Scarvey’s prison bars. I wanted to have it be a uniting factor between the two colors, while also letting the more tealish frame stand out against the blue top mat. The teal frame and the blue mat both work beautifully with the piece, but up against one another, they were clashing. I fear they still are, honestly, but I hope the silver was an effective fix both aesthetically and thematically.

Additionally, I added a spacer between the purple and middle mat, which adds a lovely bit of shadowy dimension and drama.

I’m still not 100% sure I’m happy with it, and I do wish we had more variety with color at our disposal, but this was the design I kept coming back to, and I’m very pleased with how it turned out.
