Companion Piece: Chilling On Giant's Deep Before the Apocalypse
Artist:
WitchOfAvalon
Commission Date: March 2021
When you're a sphinx, wings can pull double duty by both flying you places and protecting you from rain. Being in Giant's Deep is one such use case, since it is forever stormy and raining, probably in no small part to the huge water tornado, to say nothing of the smaller ones too. But the universe is about to end in 20 minutes, so why not just relax and enjoy the scenery for a bit?
When I commissioned WitchOfAvalon to do my previous Outer Wilds pic of my favorite planet, Giant's Deep, she pitched me some variations I could choose, and I liked this one so much that I decided to get it done too. Both this and the other Giant's Deep pic, linked above, are permanently my desktop background on non-holidays, depending on what I'm presenting as in the moment: my tigerfaun or sphinx self.
Funny story: when I went to get reference pics of Gabbro's ship, I actually found it right next to the huge tornado. Funny coincidence, since it was always going to be the picture as an easter egg.
