In My Healing Era ❤️‍🩹

Blood Moon, Memories, and Lost in the Past

(Bc Val + blood rain was a missed opportunity in outlast 2 obviously)

This one is a metaphor for the blood rain symbolizing death and chaos that Val tries to embrace, but it ends up being a reminder of how trapped he still is. Still running from the same pain in a new cult that he created.

It's also definitely a metaphor for me being stuck in the past with this game, but also alchemizing it into something beautiful with all this art. And now, I sadly need to let it go just like the past 🙏

Bringing back my precanon sketches & some memes to heal further from this nightmare of a game ❤️‍🩹 (bc I know we all need it)

I just love to imagine the original Unholy Trinity™ being best friends off screen and Knoth being the most confusing manipulative bastard.

Knoth and Val are fun to draw because they were ironically the closest. I'm sure Val was intended to be Knoth's successor and that's why he was raised as a secret keeper.

Knoth doesn't hide his favoritism, and I headcanon that caused a rift between his key supporters. Like Marta and Val ending up estranged bc there was competition between them. (Like Val's unused death scene dialogue implies in the most disturbing way)

Was It Ever Real, Liar, Reached into the Heart and Sacrifice

This is Part 2 of my last post of my idea of Knoth raising Marta and Val as his students. This time I focused on Knoth and Val because of how awesome their designs collide together. I always thought it was a missed opportunity to have them side by side in the game bc they're total opposites.

This also includes my idea that Val's rosary was a gift from Knoth that Val wears later out of spite. Basically twisting it's purpose into vanity and a symbol of sacrificing his own humanity for his own faith.

I also included Bloodborne shots bc Outlast 2 reminds me of the gothic and religious architecture, so whether it fits or not, it turned out perfect anyways 👌

I Love My Kids, Morning Sun, Goodbye, Hey Buddy, and Again???

I'm here to bless your eyes with Val being an amazing foster parent featuring @amergo 's orphan ocs again. (I linked his original character art in my last post) So take my cute art as a way to heal from the agony of this fucking game™

The kid with tan skin and fluffy brown hair in the first art is my version of Marcus bc he deserves love too ❤️‍🩹

Facade, Potential, and Tainted

This is my interpretation of the Unholy Trinity™ where Marta and Val were raised as Knoth's successors. And they trained to study his gospel bc children are more likely not to question their beliefs.

I've had this idea ever since I first played Outlast 2. I always believed Marta and Val are victims of circumstance who were both tainted by being born into chaos (in clearly opposite ways.)

The blood on Knoth's hands symbolizes the truth that his Godly image is a facade and the violence he caused has passed on through his students. He groomed them and influenced their distorted and broken identities that turned them both into monsters.

In the first art, their ages are Val - 5, Marta - 15, Knoth - 50. 2nd is V - 13, M - 23, K - 58. 3rd is V - 23, M - 33, K - 68. I headcanon the game happens 12 years later.

I'm here to bless you with sketches of Outlast 2 kiddos (bc I still need to heal from the unbearable angst in this game)

I'm also here to break everyone's hearts bc this doesn't change their inevitable future 💔 (but I have no regrets bc they're all adorable)

Facing a Monster + Freedom of Expression + Tell the Past Goodbye

Aka a collage of Val's grief for Part #3 of my Outlast 2 Shadow work challenge for an incoming video

I've been craving to make deep angst art like these since the game first came out and I see a lot of myself (concerningly) through Val.

The Unholy Trinity + Two Idiots

I've legit just wanted to draw these three all together since this game came out and I'm not disappointed with how awesome their designs are together.

The orphan kid ocs belong to @amergo / Ariopi who used to be an amazing outlast artist before he deactivated. You can still find his art through reblogs if you search for them.

Link to his original post:

I think the "deleted" characters are a good metaphor for Val's backstory, so I decided to give and take it all away 💔

Here's the inevitable part 2 of the God of War Ragnarok x Arcane crack AU I had y'all 👍👍

These ideas obliterated me out of nowhere so I definitely went wild with them this time. I fleshed out more of the girls' origins and the drama with Silco who's on a spree for revenge on Vander.

Silco saves little Powder from a pack of monsters and she tries to give him a reason not to finish his quest for vengeance.

Unfortunately, their relationship isn't enough because Silco doesn't believe he can be saved. He uses his mind control power to manipulate Vi's anger + Spartan Rage against herself and Vander. Even so, Powder can't bring herself to kill him after seeing he's not entirely the monster they say he is.

The fight ends with Powder alone with Silco and scarred from the chains of Vi's blades of chaos. And of course Silco banishes Vi into another realm and assumes she would die from her injuries.

(Vander may or may not get revived and come back later stuck in his beast form bc this AU is tragic enough 😭)

I compiled a bunch of my old cute and happy family art here in order to emotionally recover from season 2's ultra traumatic ending 👍

Despite everything, it's still you ❤️‍🩹

I found the cover art + some preview shots of "Remember Me" on Twitter.
