I loved Hyper Light Drifter — maybe too much.

“Visions for this game have been fluttering in my skull for ages; something dark and fantastic, with giant forests to navigate, huge floating structures to explore, deep crumbling ruins to loot, massive throngs of enemies to rend, and behemoths both flesh and mechanical to overcome. I want it all to be as beautiful as possible, forging color with the dark and eerie wastes and intimidating landscapes.”

Alex Preston - Lead Designer/Animator/Programmer, Hyper Light Drifter

“Drifters of this world are the collectors of forgotten knowledge, lost technologies and broken histories. Our Drifter is haunted by an insatiable illness, traveling further into the lands of Buried Time, steeped in blood and treasure hoping to discover a way to quiet the vicious disease. Echoes of a dark and violent past from the dead eras resonate throughout and he can’t help but listen.”

Silver wing heart - my latest winged mechanical heart with gears, gauges and glow in the dark grill.  Lots of tiny details.  Can be worn as a pendant, unique fob or just displayed.  I can create a display box if required.

@heartmachinez announced their newest game set in thesame universe as Hyper Light Drifter and I naturally had to immediately make fanart, as I do when the hype sends me into hyperfixation. I can’t believe I made this in an hour….. Why can’t art always go that smoothly?
