all you have to do is: be brave and be kind

“Why not both?”

“Will you share a future with me?”

This poster was a Valentine’s gift to me by my beloved @mollifiable, made for my upcoming fiction project, Arcadian Rhythms. She will be assisting me with character designs and story revisions, and I’m rather excited to have something new to work with her on. I’m keeping details on the project a bit on the down low for now, but this piece was such a pleasant surprise that I couldn’t not share it. You can check out some teasers for the story and follow eventual updates here at @arcadian-rhythms.

It is with great pleasure that I reveal the new, finalized title screen of Life is Strange: All Wounds, created by none other than the Max to my Chloe, @mollifiable. (you can watch a video of the current startup sequence here)

The dA HD stll-frame version is here.

I am so impressed and proud of what she’s been able to accomplish – her execution went above and beyond the vision I had for this new title screen, and all of the animation touches just make it all the sweeter.

I’m also very excited to reveal something some of you might have foreseen coming: Mollifiable will be collaborating with me on the production of the visual novel, and will be creating sprites for the story. We haven’t quite hammered out the details just yet, though the plan is that she’ll be handling the art from the timeskip onward (Chapter 8). I think many of you who are used to her more children’s book style will be taken aback at her skill and flexibility to adapt to different art styles and still deliver such a detailed experience through her art.
