I saw some responses like "they're making fun of fanfic!" and I want to assure everyone: I wrote this out of nothing but the utmost affection and love.

My favorite lore piece we included in Dishonored: Death of the Outsider. Very self-indulgent. I blushed as I turned it in.

A piece of lore found in Dishonored: Death of the Outsider, titled 'Heart of the Abyss'

[Excerpt from a work of theatre, banned by the Abbey on heretical grounds.]

THE STRANGER (smirking insidiously)
My dear Corvid. I’ve been watching you for a long time. When you fight, when you sleep. When you… bathe. And now you’ve lost it all.

CORVID (shocked and confused)
Who are you? What is this cold and shadowy place? Have I penetrated the Stranger’s Void?

THE STRANGER (with a flourish)
There are forces in this world, forces some men call magic. Now you can bend them to your will. I am the Stranger, and this is my mark.

CORVID (studying the back of his hand)
Ah—It burns! What is this supernatural gift?

THE STRANGER (moving closer)
Oh, but I have many more gifts to give. What will you do with them, I wonder?

CORVID (admiring the young man)
Oh! What pale skin, what piercing gaze! You look more youthful than the legends say.

THE STRANGER (caressing his cheek)
Let me show you which legends are true.

2016 - 2017. Development of Death of the Outsider was exhausting, but a delight. My maturity had finally caught up with my mandate. The Bank Job remains one of my fondest design memories. I got to add a gay easter egg with @hazelmonforton.com. I made Rosario Dawson say some very silly lines. 13/24

we did something truly great together (and the bank job is such an amazing bit of design work, really top tier))

Chaos: Hey Slaanesh, did you corrupt Primarch Fulgrim yet?
Slaanesh: Yeah, boss. Made him a giant snake monster, just like you asked.
Chaos: I asked you to make him real fuckin sexy.
Slaanesh: Just like you asked.

Time to post one of my favorite old illustrations. :)
I created it for a group show resolving around botanical visuals. During this time I read a lot about the ISS and how they grew plants in there to test botanical behavior, which also sparked dreams about deep space travels.
