Hi #PortfolioDay! I’m an illustrator with a focus on fantasy, history & narrative illustration. I want to illustrate more book covers with beautiful badass characters 🙏 🌎 www.kristinagehrmann.com 📩 info@kristinagehrmann.com

A female black-winged angel carrying a scythe staff. Her face is beautiful, but a part of it is blackened and mummified, and she lifts a black lace veil to reveal it. Her outfit displays a similar marring on her body: one of her hands is only bones. She wears her decay with pride as she regards us. Bats fly around her, their heads are skulls.

Blake and Rubi from "Dominion" riding on the back of a big orange glowing tiger. He has taken her captive.

Achilles and Patroclos, standing next to each other in front of a raging fire. Achilles is outfitted for battle and looks wistfully into the distance, while Patroclos ties some laces of his armor, also looking sad. Behind them and above there's the mosaic of a warrior in his chariot.

A young woman in a forest landscape, wearing adventurer clothing and carrying a sword. She stands confidently facing us. Behind her is a big wolf also looking at us. The wolf is surrounded by ominous black shadow shapes.

A Leyendecker-inspired painting of Emmrich from Dragon Age the Veilguard getting ready for a date.

Emmrich and Rook (Laelia) from Dragon Age the Veilguard cozying up together, most likely at the end of a date :)

A redraw of a pose that trended on SM a few months ago of a woman holding her hands to the sun with a shadow of her hands cast on her chest. In my take, it’s a nun OC (sister Florence) being embraced by an unseen demonic force, with shadows in red.

A portrait of Sister Florence showing both sides of her personality.

In case anyone missed my little X-Files point and click daydream

Mulder, Scully, Skinner, and the Lone Gunmen, all drawn in a cartoony style.

A hallway of an institute or something like that, with eldritch green light pouring in through a far window.

A car crests a hill at night. A figure with a shovel stands by the roadside.

My wife and I are watching a little bit of The X-Files again and I've been doodling
along.

Imagine if you will: a five act point-and-click where you switch between Mulder and Scully depending on what kind of clues and puzzles you're working with. The Lone Gunmen get their own episode during Act 4 but they all move together like a single character. Tone is 70% comedy 30% paranormal horror.

Scully: "Mulder, you can't combine those."
Mulder, trying to tie a stick of dynamite to a taxidermied pheasant using half a shoelace: "Ancient Roman augurs read omens into the flight paths of birds all the time, Scully."

Scully: LOOK AT Enormous Rotating Saucer Hovering Over the Town
Scully: "That's the second biggest weather balloon I've ever seen."

Scully: LOOKAT Fox Mulder's Docs Folder
OPEN Fox Mulder's Docs Folder
Scully: "Ah."
Mulder: "I get those for the articles."
Scully: "Yeah who doesn't love a juicy article."

Mulder LOOK AT Mysterious Skull
Mulder: "Seen this, Scully?"
Scully: "Artificial cranial deformation has been attested in numerous cultures,
Mulder. The practice results in elongated skulls and flattened foreheads."
Mulder: "Does it make the bones glow green?"

The spin on Gaiders interview and Veilguard is pissing me off, so hey lets read what he ACTUALLY said: that EA fumbled DA because they are idiots, and the DAV team was set up to fail by management Tossing DAV under the bus for the clout is ironic, considering his whole point is that EA did that.

"The way EA looked at it was that Mass Effect was the slick, modern RPG that had action, and they could sell really easily.
Whereas Dragon Age was old-fashioned and focused on story. Our action, ranging from Dragon Age: Origins, was a little bit on the slow, cumbersome side, and then was too fast. They never knew what to do with it. So whenever a Dragon Age game sold well, we got excuses on the opposite side. Basically that it was a fluke."

It's worth noting that Dragon Age:
Inquisition beat EA's sales expectations and became BioWare's most successful game. But EA has always treated Dragon Age, as Gaider says, like "the redheaded stepchild"
"They gave us a head of marketing at one point who literally talked about having to put lipstick on a pig in order to sell it.
When you're on a team and you're hearing this, you're like, 'Alright, what am I supposed to do with this?'''

One of the other reasons Gaider hasn't played it is that he knows "too much about what went on behind the scenes," characterising development as an
"ordeal" where EA "handicapped" the team right from the beginning.
"Electronic Arts really did a number on them in terms of setting them up to fail, honestly. From everything I've been told about the game, it seems like that's exactly what happened. It didn't deliver on a creative level. It didn't deliver the sales. That's part of what EA likes to do too. They require a certain level of sales, and if you don't match that, it doesn't matter how good the game is. If it underperforms, you're essentially dead."

You are not here to write beautiful perfect prose. You are here to write good or great story. They are NOT the same thing. Captivating and holding a reader's attention does not require super smooth writing. In fact it may demand harsh writing. Lean in. #writingcommunity #booksky #writinglife

Hope is an act not a state of being. It requires talking about and sharing to grow. It is hard to hope but I'm gonna ask you for it anyway: If you're a game dev and have stories of what makes you hopeful for the future of games whatever that may be and would be willing to talk about it, get in touch
