[wip] 1000xRESIST (Patreon)

hey, friends!

here's a sneak peek into the big illustration i'm working on right now. it's not a commission or anything, just purely indulgent and for myself, part 1 of i'm sure many to get my feelings out on a very, very special game called 1000xRESIST, by sunset visitor studio.

i gushed about it already on bluesky so i'll give y'all the short version here: 1000xRESIST is now my #1 favorite narrative game experience, and to me, an exemplary piece of asian diaspora identity media, up there in the pantheon right next to EEAAO. the way it uses its technical limitations to showcase its dev team's unique combination of talents and tastes, the way in which it is unapologetically asian-american... it is so fresh, so sincere, bursting with feelings. i haven't been so rocked by a piece of art like this in so long; i'm forever changed. i cannot believe this is sunset visitor's first game... unbelievably excited for their future and whatever they make. there's a part of me that really wants to contribute to their work, too...

so yeah. i'm putting all my feelings into this piece, and i'm certain it won't be the only fanart i make for this game. if y'all would like to watch my playthrough of it, my VODs are on my twitch channel. i also just started playing Valkyria Chronicles for the first time on stream yesterday, so tune in tomorrow if you wanna see that!

as always, thank you for your continued support. it means so much to me that i can have y'alls' patronage to have the space and time to make the work most important to me. i can't wait to show everyone how this piece progresses! i'm really putting my all into it.
