This kinda pop uped when I was searching for something else about two weeks ago, I looked at it because it look well drawn, and upon seeing this character a deep part of my brain was in "keep this person safe" mode after seeing her, and the text wasn't reassuring, I checked more of your stuff because I was curious and... well I can say for sure it isn't my thing at all, but I went further for the sake of this comment, as I need to complement you.
See, normally if something is bit uncomfortable and not my thing, I can pass it and usually with out thought, with at worse I'll just go "ew" and move on if its really disturbing. But for some reason for her specifically and seeing the artwork of her current life straight up activated a protective instinct that wanted to actually do something, in this case a rescue operation.
Now this isn't the same as emotional attachment to a character, I consider that good writing and no matter how attached I get I never have a part me that wants to do something about it because I can clearly tell its fiction and a story.
No, this was different, its like if for a moment it was real and be the same reaction you would have if you saw somebody you knew and cared about was in danger. Of course the rational part of my brain basically sedated that primal part that decided to wake from its slumber for about 2 seconds over digital art. But man, I've only had that happen once a long long time ago, again another single bit of art work, furry no less. I don't know what, but something of her design specifically activated my protective side, I have no idea what, doesn't look like anyone I know at all. And while she does have some nice features, this wasn't that, that protective instinct was just more like "bring her home safe, no matter the cost or risk" it didn't care about if I saw her again.
I have no idea what it was, but if your art work could activate a primal protective part of my brain where I had to tell it I was looking at only fiction, not something many people have done:
I truly think it is worthy of praise.
Interestingly enough through thought experiments, modern IRL me, at least on paper, if I gave myself at least a month to train could probably pull of a rescue operation (though chances of success change with circumstances). Yeah went autistic mode as one could call it and considered every variable because I had way too much fun with the experiment seeing my capabilities and hindrances vs. various possibilities, literally only thing that could stop me 100% is facing off against military grade stuff and lacking a super super super rough idea where to find the compound. Though room for failure grows the worse the situation is, but still mostly possible.
Now a universe accurate version of me, yeah really did I study a bunch of your art work just for these dumb thought experiments, like I said had too much fun, I'm more doubtful if I could pull it off. Pretty much due to not know what a version myself of this universe is like creates way more unknowns I can't account for. I mean its a bit of a multiplier if this version is my sona's species, and depending on what he'd obsessively study for fun would fully depend if it at least he's at least closer to being even matched, though even then way tactics completely change and that creates even more unknowns. So I'm not sure, I lack the info.
In summery:
Despite being not my type of stuff, I praise your art for managing to make and illustrate a character that somehow managed to get my protective instincts running that for a moment I had to calm it down. Something not many people have pulled off.
And thanks because also by doing so, you gave me an idea of using my free time for a scenario that asks "Hay could I actually pull off a rescue mission if it were real?" and essentially giving hours of enjoyment through this hypothetical you have single handily accidentally put in my head.
And through these both somehow created a bit of comfort too, definitely for unorthodox reasons.
Good job!
