Haytham

Shay and Connor commiserating about working with Haytham lol - I was always excited to do a sequence with Haytham (I thoroughly enjoy how haughty he is - it's very entertaining! He's such a well-written, complex character, I love it). Yes I am one of those people who wishes Connor (and Arno) could've met Shay. They'd definitely have a lot to say to each other, that's for sure!

Anyway, my dream Assassin's Creed game goes against every principle they must be working under to make such disappointing, buggy slopfests. And my desire for storytelling goes against the (weak) exploration the series has become so preoccupied with. And some of the things I want, like a proper modern day storyline that you spend actual time in, would probably not be budget-friendly because of the assets that you wouldn't be able to reuse.

But how cool would it be to switch between medieval Berlin, modern Berlin, and Cold War Berlin? To weave different interlocking stories together? To trace the past with the tool of the Animus? To have storylines that comment on each other both directly and through contrast? And one of the things that I don't recall the games ever doing is that you can have a conflict between past and present, where the person using the Animus hates the person they're trying sync with. You have to relive your grandfather's sins to get the information you need, and then his memories and personality start bleeding through, altering you. Think of the tension inherent in having to play out the memory of your ancestor killing someone you've come to like.

Some portraits !! Haven’t done ac in a while and started with Edward bc of the new game, but it didn’t feel right not drawing Ratonhnhaké:ton too (the best)

Some Ratonhnhaké:ton's face and expressions studies !

Bedtime on the Morrigan

I like the thought that Haytham prefers to stay in the captain's quarters and/or Shay invites him to stay in the captain's quarters ("because he's the Grand Master" and all that), but there's only one bed! They like each other, so they don't mind this arrangement. Maybe except for all the times Gist accidentally walks in, lmao (Shaytham doodles part 2/?)
