Sketchbook 038: Please Don't Go
Please don't go, I want you to stay
I'm begging you, please, please don't leave here
I don't want you to hate for all the hurt that you feel
The world is just illusion trying to change you.
After playing Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice, I simply HAD to draw some fanart. Seriously it is such a fantastic game and very emotion inducing as well, definitely one the best games I have ever played.
At first I was unsure about this sketch but as I worked on it, I absolutely fell in love with it, even though there are a few things that I don't think are perfect. I had a hard time thinking about what animal to make Senua, but eventually I settled on a White Hound since it is a Celtic symbol (also from references I found, the white hound has short hair so that is why I don't have my rendition of Senua in my usual fluffy style)

The song lyrics in the description...just...HNNNNNG T-T
You did a very good job in capturing the emotion in this. Senua's hair and the cloth around Dillian are well done and I am in love with how much the runes floating around adds to the picture.
It was a great pleasure to experience this game with you, bro. I will never forget this absolute GEM of a game.

The lyrics of the song really match Senua's condition and experiences, and it's like Dillion is the one singing them too her, the chorus is just so dang emotional and powerful, it's just so...you said it...Hnnnng T-T
I was surprised with how surprisingly simple Senua's hair was to do, as I thought it would be a nightmare, as for the cloth, that was kind off difficult to do, positioning the lines correctly took some doing. I added the runes just to fill up some of the negative space, but considering how the runes appear when you/she focuses in the game, both in the puzzles and in combat it's almost as though she is focusing, trying to drown out the voices in her head and decide for herself what she thinks she should do with Dillion, whether or not to keep going through Helheim or to turn back, whether to hold on or let go, at least that's what I take from it :I
I am so glad we both got to go through this experience of a game and that we both ended up loving it and appreciating it because personally I don't think it would have been the same if I went through it alone :3
