San: Non posso perdonare agli umani le cose orribili che hanno fatto. Ashitaka: È comprensibile. Torna pure a vivere nella tua foresta, San. Io resterò qui, per esserti vicino. Verrò a trovarti.
-Princess Mononoke, Hayao Miyazaki, (1997)
Stare accoccolati sul divano con la luce soffusa a guardare un film in tua compagnia, è come ritrovarsi d’improvviso in una stanza piena solo di noi. Un luogo dove regnano solo i ricordi, le speranze e l’affetto. [30.05.20]
Father Gascoigne and Henryk, a piece I made for my dear friend @b9rambling’s bday a while ago! I was super excited to make my first official “finished” Bloodborne fan art because it’s definitely one of my favorite games of all time. Gascoigne and Henryk’s relationship is one of the most intriguing (and sad!) part of the game , though many characters caused me pain ! Can you anyone guess the painting the pose is inspired by?
This is the other half of the Bloodborne sequel concept that I came up with for the VaatiVidya Bloodborne II contest, Chorister Bardhylli (Pronounced Bar-thule-lee) alone. is the one who beckons the lesser Great one Peregrinus and they become a tag team boss! You can read some info on him on the sheets, it’s written in the style of how I believe the game would present it.
So for Chorister Bardhylli’s role in the battle:
He’d be the first phase of the overall battle. Once he summons Peregrinus, I wanted sound to play a large role in the mechanics of the battle. Throughout the battle the different rings of the Chorister’s bell would be used by the player to predict attacks from the Great One. The Great One would be phasing in and out of the arena similar to the snakes during the Shadows of Yharnam fight. I also wanted the Chorister’s Censer Star to have a deceptively long range much like the Abyss watchers sword during their second phase. His weapon “extends” when the incense is burning inside of it. The lingering mist deals Arcane damage when fighting him only during the first phase and after as well!
After the first phase battle with Chorister Bardhylli, The player would then have to choose between focusing on Chorister Bardhylli or Peregrinus knowing that each strategy has its pros and cons. The Chorister has less health and isn’t as fast but by removing him the player loses important sound cues against the Great One. Peregrinus is a larger target and has an obvious weak spot (the head) but by ignoring Chorister Bardhylli it leaves him open to healing or buffing the Great One.
Fun facts about Chorister Bardhylli:
Chorister Bardhylli is named after an Illyrian king and also means “White star” in Albanian, I wanted to keep the Eastern European feel to his name similar to the other npcs of the series.
This is a Bloodborne sequel concept Old one Boss, I came up with for the VaatiVidya’s Bloodborne II contest! I was not in the winner video he made but I had a ton of fun making this creature! You can read on its abilities near the illustrations, I wrote them in a way that I feel like it’d be presented in the game.
A little more info on the Bloodborne art:
The idea for this boss stemmed from the fact that Bloodborne, unlike other souls games, lacked aerial enemies and tag team bosses. My idea was to have a two phase boss, starting with Chorister Bardhylli (Bar-thule-lee) alone. During the battle he’ll be beckoning the lesser Great One Peregrinus with his bell and once his health reaches half, there would be a cut scene of the great one gliding into the arena through a tear in space. The Chorister and the Great One would then have seperate life bars.
I created Peregrinus after reading about the flying creature in Lovecraft’s short story “The Festival”, I wanted to honor the Lovecraftian roots of Bloodborne and thought it’d be the perfect monster to base the lesser Great One on. Peregrinus is a mixture of bat, spider, arctiine moth and rhamphorhyncus. Its head shape is inspired by the bows of ancient Greek triremes. Peregrinus’ name is latin for “traveler” or “foreigner ”.
I’ll be posting Chorister Bardhylli soon, so be on the look out for him too !
I’m back in the apartment! Went home and took all of my things. Gonna settle right in and clean and tidy more. Gonna prepare for work! Gonna do a Good Job. (It’s been exactly 2 months since we went back into the Philippines so that’s how long I’ve been living back at my mom’s house)
This morning I gave Emmy his birthday surprise! I was going to paint the totoro on the wrapper but instead I just upcycled the tote bag it went in. This way he can use it! It’s so serendipitous because I originally wanted to sew him a totoro purse, but knew he doesn’t really have a use for it because he uses the same wallet all the time. But he does use tote bags! #totelife ..TOTOLIFE!
Also I sewed a leaf notebook in which I tried to get people to sign! He was so impressed and I feel very accomplished. Haha.
Kiki’s Delivery Service has always meant a lot to me. I remember catching it on television as a kid and just thinking, ‘I’ve never seen anything like this’. I was an anime fan already, but the tone of it and the world it created felt so fresh to me. It was one of the first films I saw that I really felt was made for me. I watched it again the other night and I’m still totally transfixed by it, so I made a little fan poster.
