Have some concept art for your eyeballs today, this is one of the sketches I did on Wednesday while I waited for the black heart of my furnace to be revived with necromantic energies. I tried calling Dr. Orpheus but he couldn’t make it on short notice, but I believe the earthly assistance that was summoned did the trick. The concept is for Little Reaper, but this character will appear in a few of my works. I’m not ready to share what his deal is, but part of it is that he really wants you to sign that parchment. Wants is not a strong enough word, it should be upgraded to a deep-seated undying need. I will draw him at least once more with a lightbox before I do the final colored version.
For your eyeballs and earballs, I have my first RE4 stream, if you want to avoid spoilerth you may want to stop reading here, but I won’t spoil anything big. The remake is awesome, I had planned to stream it last week but didn’t have time, but yesterday morning was the perfect occasion for it. There is quite a bit that has changed in the new version, like no longer having an indestructible knife and having a magic attaché case that increases drops of certain items. Yesterday I was using the default silver case which increases handgun ammo drops, I forgot to punch in the preorder code before I started but I’ll find out what enchantment the gold case grants today.
More impressive in the new version are the changes in level design and enemy encounters. So far I’ve not encountered the button prompt moments of the original, which I am thankful for. There are also some new enemies and environmental hazards, and the basic Ganado enemy exhibited a few new behaviors during my short play session. So far today I’ve managed to resist the urge to jump back in as I wanted to get some exercise and work in first, but there will be more of that sweet RE4 goodness happening around noon here.
