My favorite of the new companions, for all the reasons. First self-indulgent Horizon commission I got was of him (art by @boobaloof.bsky.social 🥰) I still laugh forever at "That was an unkind comparison :c", great line with perfect delivery by @noshirdalal.bsky.social 😩🔥

It's been almost a decade since I left Monolith to work at Guerrilla, and I only worked there for about 1.5 years, but that studio was and will always be special to me. This one really, really hurts.

Recently stopped by Guerrilla and received the sweetest, most unexpected goodbye gifts 🥹 Please tell people when you appreciate them ;; you never know when someone needs to hear that. These will give me strength when times are hard. I'll do my best to pay that forward.
