Description "Based on" Amnesia might be a strong phrase, considering I didn't follow the art- or character-style... could say "inspired" or "influenced" by, perhaps; it was the whole idea!

I don't know if I'd even have the guts to play that game. There's something so intriguing about the premise, though: where the only defense you have against monsters is to run and hide. Hard to separate the character's fear from your own at that point; it's genius! I had to watch Markiplier play it so it was funny and not (as) scary. ;D

Almost forgot I had this! I wanted to work on something with a really dramatic angle and dramatic lighting, but somehow none of that came together (I CAN'T EXPLAIN MY LIGHT SOURCE/I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE THE LANTERN IS SHHH) so I focused more on the skin instead. Probably could use some more work, but I am in a "posting" mood and not a "stashing things forever" mood right now. (Started this in November, btw... lol?) Besides, I am preparing to unveil another related artwork soon... DUN DUN DUN


{my introduction to Amnesia was thanks to of course <3}

My friend bought me the game two birthdays ago and I still haven't summoned up the courage to play it.

I like those eyes, eek, they're creepy.

Man that picture is super creepy, great job! It really looks like the person (can't tell if male or female, sorry!) is about to have a heart attack.

HAHAHAHAHBJABFDH, it seems I introduced you to many things, didn't I? Oh my-my. Please, don't hit me. I can explain!

I can only say - wow those eyes are expressive. Like very very expressive. I take it's you? Eh? EH? I can recognize that look when I see it! Better close the doors, arta; I bet Mr. Face is nearby...

1. Also, I blame you for introducing me to Mark. He's so charming and I don't miss his videos now, like ever! 2. I really-really, don't like the sound of that DUN-DUN-DUN.

hahaha omg whoops does that look like me?? At first, I was honestly intending it to be Daniel, then I think I wanted to get more exaggerated/goofy and got influenced by the kind of cartoonish Tim Burton-y style (not that that ended up working, either xD), but it *was* supposed to be a guy, even if he is kind of young/girly/derpy looking. x}

1. and yayyy markiplier... I should really (try to) catch up on his videos again; he's such an adorable sweetie + goofball. (I can't believe *I* actually introduced *you* to something!!)

2. yessss... actually, I think I better get back to focusing on that a bit today... MY WORK IS NEVER DONE UNTIL I RUN OUT OF TIME!!

You'd fair well in the Amnesia universe, lemme tell you that. As a Xan-like character.

You did actually made me obsessed, why he became my favorite youtuber! 'WHERE'S THE BLACKSMITH?' SADGJGHLRKUGHK... I can only gargle at this point, even if I returned to BG.

hehe thank you!! yeah, I am a huge coward when it comes to those things; I had to watch my brother play Silent Hill because I couldn't do it by myself. Okay, not even Resident Evil, either. >_>;

Hahahaha I love it. I didn't really play Amnesia but I watched it be played and it is scary stuff! I really love the emotion in this piece and the way you've done the lighting etc. Also good for a laugh <3

hahaaa thank you. I found it sort of bizarrely amusing, also; you can only exaggerate terror so much before it becomes ridiculous--I think that's why I went with that style. xD
