    we don’t talk enough about how funny it is that harrow has like an encyclopedic knowledge of the noniad

    For all that the Noniad is made out to be dull and tedious, it certainly seems to suck people in.

    Harrow knows it by heart, and Abigail Pent apparently beta read the entire thing for him while also dealing with the whole vengeance-crazed, gun-toting ghost situation inside a traumatised teenager’s own personal corner of purgatory.

    Musha dokuro (skull warriors) modern yukata/kimono by RumiRock, perfect for both Japanese summer and Western Halloween season. I love how it’s modeled here, with skull just peeking through the hakama slit!

    thinking about them

    The bottom two panels are them responding to “do you take this man as your lawfully wedded husband”

    Also what they say if you ask them if they’re married

    the world of Disco Elysium is bleak and unyielding and this is reflected in the artwork. each character, in their headshot portrait, faces the viewer directly. their expressions are neutral, exhausted, unsmiling. sure klaasje has a faint humorless smirk, and evrart a wide smug grin, but both are obviously carefully-chosen armor against the soul-crushing grind of Late-Stage Capitalism.

    not trant though! he’s doing a cutesy little over-the-shoulder glamor pose and he is Legitimately Thrilled to be talking to you. this man did NOT understand the genre of the game at ALL.

    Drawing historically inspired clothing is so fun! I sort of flubbed the peasant woman’s outfit though 😅
