It's really refreshing seeing shitey normal working class life depicted like this in a game, and a Silent Hill game no less. Pebble-dashed council flats, three-bar fires, Post Office counters, concrete shopping precincts. This must be how posh people felt playing Everybody's Gone to the Rapture.
The inside of a council flat.A brutalist concrete shopping precinct.A block of council flats.A Post Office (well, 'Post Service') counter.

All the paintings I finished this summer… getting a coat of varnish today! #art #painting
Eight paintings lay on a wooden table and await their varnishing.  4 are on paper, 2 on stretched canvas, and two on wood panel.

'Japanese Lanterns.' (1930) During the interwar years, Eric Slater borrowed motifs from the Ukiyo-e masters of woodblock printing Hokusai and Hiroshige, and finessed them for his own means; the final flowering of a tradition of British printmaking until a revival in the 1980s.

I finished this one last year. It was my first pixel painting I did on paper. Definitely a fun change of pace working on something a lot smoother than canvas… but I wasn’t used to yet. I’ve improved a lot since. #art

Nighthouse… something I’ve been faffing with for a while now. A fictionalised view from Coille Ghillie in Applecross (there’s no castle or lighthouse, never mind one like this). It’s a bit clunky and I’m not sure where to go with it from here (maybe a picture book).

"The verisimilitude of videogame towns and the NPCs within them can definitely be improved, but they should still ultimately serve the narrative thrust of the game." @jfenn.bsky.social addresses the conundrum of Potemkin villages in videogames:
