Zairyo's Artwork

Phase rough sketch by Zairyo

Paragon is one of my favorite games ever. I don’t like MOBAs and I was reluctant to try Paragon at first for that very reason, but this game is something special. Through highs and lows I’ve loved every iteration. It was the one game I wanted to play the most after Maria hit us. The graphics, hero designs, gameplay, animations, hero kits, it was all great. Even the card systems, though their implementation could have been better, as well as a much needed tutorial for new people to get into deck building. It was the most crucial element of the game as no matter which hero you chose, it was their deck that made the difference. Epic Games considers it a failure, I don’t think it is a failure, I don’t think they failed in making a great game, they failed at supporting it. Seems like Tencent will steal Paragon from us and it feels worse than if they had to close the game ‘cause it really was a failure. Supporting their current cash cow, Fortnite, is not illogical but putting all eggs in one basket is stupid. Sure, by itself Fortnite sold a lot, but it wasn’t until they ripped off PUBG that the game took off. Not only that but their initial promise of improving the game they sold (currently known as the Save the World mode) is nothing but an afterthought. I don’t wish them ill, granted I’m tempted to, but a fair warning. Once the Battle Royale fad is done and gone, what will you have? As it is, Fortnite gets boring rather fast, and that’s surprising considering all the genres mashed into it.

Why Tumblrwatch?

Honestly, no site has more Overwatch ships (I ship Widow Mercy like it’s the USS Enterprise and we were about to be face the Borg) These are obviously parody characters, but where did they come from? Besides the obvious of course.

Well, often enough when I’m waiting for matchmaking or for something to render or anything that has to do with being still waiting, I tend to doodle whatever. One of those doodles was this horrible looking thing lol

When I started it I didn’t have anything in mind. I was just drawing a plucky girl and her big buffed girlfriend. Then I thought, “hmm they’re a bit too Tracer and Zarya” and kept going.

After hurricane Maria destroyed our infrastructure I was left without power and currently, New Year’s Eve and I’m still without internet, but let’s not talk about that damned thing. Bottom line is I had plenty of time to draw and one of the things I decided to do was redraw that, a bit more serious.

I even came up with a little story behind this. If I did my job right, I don’t even need to explain it.

*sigh* I was looking forward to this game, like a lot. I almost convinced myself to buy it just for the multiplayer, that would be an insult to every artist that works hard on their games. Like the great work done in Watch Dogs 2 cutscenes. Those are amazing and people rarely bring them up. Not to mention the writing in this game is very bad, like a competent fan fiction at best. That being said, what drove me to draw this was this scene.

Once Upon a Time

Daria and Jane by Zairyo

Because after Life is Strange Dark Room, the only thing that makes sense is endless depression, so I opted to watch Daria again.

Rough, no colors version too of course.

Life is Strange: Dark Room Fuck Your Selfie

*Spoilers*

I don’t usually do fanfics, I don’t hate them it’s just that I prefer to work on my OCs. However… Life is Strange is an exception to every rule ever created. I can’t deal with Dark Room’s ending, while it didn’t break me like Chaos Theory did, it left me uncomfortable, more angry than sad but still both. So Jefferson you motherfucker, now you deal with my Super Maxine.

In the comic I changed Chloe’s necklace to her left hand. Also she has more powers. Ability to rewind specific things, can stop time at will, can fast forward with her left hand and can change the time flow of a person she touches with both hands.

Basically I’m so angry that asshole killed Chloe, that as punishment I had Super Maxine use Frank’s bat to break his knee. Eventually that injury will kill him as he won’t get treatment. Worst yet, he won’t be removed from the timeline, in order to keep the sequence of events unchanged, (except for Chloe’s death since Max rewound the bullet out of her skull) but time will flow differently for him so that he can’t interact with anything in the normal flow of time. In essence, he will become the next person that disappears from Arcadia Bay. AND the pain will feel like it’s in real time, but the regular time will be slowed down so much that he will be alive and in constant pain for over 50 years.

Also, the cheesy name Maximum Price fits well with Max’s personality. Plus it means many things like the title of each episode of LiS. For one it’s a play on Max and Chloe, it’s also the name of a regulation when the government intervenes to adjust a cap in prices when they go overboard.

If you are wondering how can my “fanfic” Max be in the real Max timeline without replacing her? For one, they’re not the same age anymore, second I’m using the two moons as an example. Since the multiverse Max created is converging, for as long as there are two moons, they can both exist at the same time. (I’m aware one of the moons disappeared when they decided to go to the junkyard, just let me have this one OK)

If you don’t like this version of Max, that’s OK, I prefer the game version too, this is just to vent.

OK now this one should really be the last one (colored at least) until the next episode kills me or inspires me.

This sketch was a bit too rough for colors and I don’t have the time to redo nor fix it. Hope it looks good enough though.

Decided to make a wallpaper with all the pics I’ve sketched and colored so far.
