Thanks to my great friend @lazymik0r, I got into In Sound Mind recently- it's such an amazing game, i'd recommend it to anyone who's a fan of psychological horror, mystery stories and themes of mental health, conspiracies and the lives of a therapist and his patients :)

Anyways, enough yapping, enjoy the art :D

Characters in order:

Agent Rainbow

The Watcher

The Shade

The Bull

Another older fanart from my 2024 sketchbook, but digitally colored and doodled. I was so scared of smudging the pencil render...

Drawing The Bull from memory was certainly a challenge, haha, I really enjoy these characters together

My chest feels tight every time I listen to Is It Me--imo it's easily the saddest song of the bunch, and it hits me every time. "Is it me, am I wrong for not conforming?" "Is it me, or is anger all-consuming?" I relate so much to the first one and I get the second. Max is fiercely independent but lives in a world where he can't express that, where he chafes at constant orders and (projecting here) inscrutable social rules. His anger is explosive, and it makes it difficult to see past it, but once it clears he clearly feels regret/doesn't want to be that unreachable when angry. It bleeds very easily into self-righteousness.

OGs under the cut!

Part 1 - Part 2

I made this drawing in February, finished it at the end of that same month, but I only posted it on Twitter. Which was silly of me because the ISM fandom is very VERY dead over there, LOL.

the fandom may be dead, but what the fuck!! ISM poster GO!!! I'm still quite proud of this drawing and might remake it in a few years, y'know, to hopefully revive the fandom every once in a while :]

vvvv !! drawing down here !! vvvv

reblogs are appreciated ':]

!!Version with tape in the background down here!!

it might be a tad hard to see, but its there!!

Random drawing thoughts for ism

Virginia stuck in a mirror, perhaps with the watcher holding onto it

Allen being pulled down by the shade atop the lighthouse where he thought he'd be safe

Max stood at the edge of the quarry filled with chemicals having a stare off with the bull

The flash with Lucas clenched in his fist whos under intense spotlight
