#chronostutter

Like, Zero Escape meets 5d Chess with Multiverse Time Travel meets Doctor Who kinda logic, but with the abstract visual aesthetic of pieces like Chronostutter and stuff

Oh damn look at this magnificent piece of art. Absolutely gorgeous, undoubtedly one of the best pieces in modern history. Oh? It’s for a Magic the Gathering card? That’s wonderful! Certainly, they won’t make that card absolute dogshit-

oh gosh. lots of good picks. i feel like a lot of my sources of inspiration come from very odd niches LMAO

i think my biggest source of inspiration lately has been ggdg -- i read cucumber quest as it was releasing back in high school and i revisited it after finishing soul of sovereignty. gg's color direction and framing have always been big inspirations to me.

wrt aesthetic i feel like i've kind of frankensteined a few very strange sources of inspiration together LMAO

basin + stable ground (which. exists) both feature a lot of nature scenes + probably take a lot of inspiration from the ridiculous amount of late-70s-early-80s westerns i watched with family growing up? centennial comes to mind because that's the series i come back to for background studies but there are plenty of films that treat the environment as a character just as much as the human actors, which i enjoy a lot!

on the complete opposite hand i've also taken a lot of inspiration from album cover art and printmakers, especially jay ryan! he has a very specific style that i cant really put a name to other than a lot of repetitive detail that actually has the effect of drawing your eye to the quieter parts of the composition. his characters have a very distinct oddball-cuteness that contrasts well with his more realistic prop design that i kind of just want for myself LMAO
