Happy Monday friends! Happy to share with you a special project: Emily Pope's Big Puzzle Adventure!!! This is a printable Remedy themed coloring and activity book containing puzzles, word games, activities, and coloring pages from some amazing artists. Free to download: ko-fi.com/s/0e35fc615f

Cover art by bluesky user @marms.art for a coloring and activity book with the title "Emily Pope's Big Puzzle Adventure starring Emily Pope!". The cover depicts Emily Pope laying on the ground working on a crossword puzzle. Her pencil has a fuzzy pink pencil topper. Near her there is a red telephone, nail polish bottles, a memo pad, pens, and a cup of coffee in an FBC mug. There is an ominous red mist behind her.

Photograph of a coloring book page depicting art of Alan Wake and Barry Wheeler. There is a negroni cocktail and some colored pencils on top of the coloring book.

Photograph of an activity book page depicting a MAD LIBS style activity. There are instructions as well as a list of types of words for the user to provide. Below the list is a drawing of Jesse Faden and a partially obscured manuscript snippet. A cup of coffee and a mechanical pencil are on top of the page.

A screenshot of a spread from the activity book. It depicts a puzzle called "LIGHT UP" where the user has to determine the location of "lights" in the woods using logic. There is a drawing of Rose Marigold on top of the instructions and a manuscript page about the Koskela brothers.

Hi #PortfolioDay, I'm a freelance illustrator from Chile!

I've worked for a TCG, and mostly work with private clients nowadays.
Starting next year I'll be available for book covers, TCGs, TTRPGs, as well as personal commissions.

A scene after an Old Gods of Asgard concert, featuring a myriad of characters from Alan Wake and Control videogames.

Chaotic scene of the cast of characters from Control struggling to contain all the altered items and objects of powers.

Hawke walks into Kirkwall, assisted by Bethany and Fenris because she broke a leg. On the foreground, Varric and Merrill can be seen smiling at the scene in front of them.

Scene from Dragon Age 2, Hawke fighting against the Arishok

Horror is to experience a universe devoid of your loved ones. To live long enough to tend to their graves.

Panel 1: A limp hand is barely holding the frayed remains of a red charm bracelet. On the background, Casey and Kiran are running towards it.

Panel 2: Close-up of Casey and Kiran. The framing obscure Casey’s eyes, yet tears can be seen running down his face. Kiran has a troubled expression.

Captions:
KIRAN: ...fuck.

Panel 3: Casey has fallen to his knees, Kiran behind him. In front of them Tor and Odin are walking out of Cauldron Lake. Odin is holding Tor’s shoulder while Tor is carrying Saga’s body, his head resting on top of hers.

Mirror Peak is looming over the tragedy.

Panel 4: Outside a house. Tor and Odin are waiting as Kiran and Casey are at the door. Kiran is holding Casey by his shoulder with a worried expression on her face. Casey is snarling at her while knocking on the door.

Captions:
KIRAN: Alex, wait! You don't have to do this. Let me—
CASEY: Fuck off, Kiran.

Panel 1: Inside the house. David has opened the door, he’s holding a phone on his hand. On the other side, Kiran is trying to step in front Casey while she’s speaking to David. Casey is frozen and looking directly at Logan who is on the foreground. Logan is holding her phone, on the screen can faintly be seen a contact called “Mom”.

Captions:
DAVID: Casey? Where the hell is—
KIRAN: David Woods? I'm Kiran Estevez of the FBC. Can we come in?

Panel 2: A memorial service held outdoors. All seats have been taken by attendants.
In the center is a portrait picture of Saga.
To the left, her casket covered in floral arrangements. In front of it Tor, Odin, and David hugging Logan can be seen.
To the right Casey is walking toward a plinth to deliver an eulogy. He’s wearing a formal FBI outfit.

Panel 3: A rainy scene. On the foreground Casey and Kiran are covered from the rain under a tree. Casey is sitting on the floor, his back to the trunk, with his elbows resting on his knees, holding his head between his hands. Kiran is standing next him, looking at the scene past them:
David embracing Logan, they’re facing away. In front of them, Tor is looking up, eyes closed and soaking under the rain. Right in front of him Odin is placing down flowers in front of two tombstones, one for Freya, the other for Saga.

Captions:
ODIN: Hey kiddo…

Finished this sketch in a moving vehicle, but I had to get it out of my system. Hope it turned out alright regardless.

In celebration of their 30th anniversary, we had the opportunity to ask Remedy five questions about their history. For our interview, we spoke to @mikaelkasurinen.bsky.social, Markus Mäki (Chief Product Officer) and @vidaisonline.bsky.social.

🎉 Check it out: www.alanwake.info/2025/09/10th... #RMD30

Images of Max Payne, Alan Wake, Jack Joyce, Jesse Faden, and Saga Anderson are placed in the background. The text reads, "5 Questions with Remedy. With Mikael Kasurinen (Creative Director), Markus Mäki (Chief Product Officer) and Vida Starčević (Senior Community Manager)"

I could keep going (and I probably will in the future) as honestly every piece of art I got for the book was so impressive, working with everyone was so fun 😭 My point is Remedy fan artists are some of the most creative and talented people and I love them all so much 🥰

astral_dyke @astraldyke.bsky.social · Sep 10

@evil-owl-loki.bsky.social also blew me away by taking really simple ideas (Casey and Saga watching Night Springs with Logan, the Bright Falls PD having a BBQ) and adding so much gorgeous detail to create these really complex scenes that are so fun to color in.

Black and white drawing of Alan Wake 2 characters. Alex Casey sits on a couch braiding Logan Anderson's hair. Saga Anderson sits on the couch watching and drinking a cup of coffee. The television showing Night Springs is in the background along with woodland and deer decor, plants, and coffee cups.

Black and white drawing of Alan Wake 2 characters. Tim Breaker is in the foreground grilling burgers and hot dogs with an apron that says "KISS THE CHEF." In the back Mulligan holds up a ball and gestures towards Thornton, who is sitting in a dunk tank looking wet and miserable. A banner that says "Bright Falls PD Community Outreach BBQ" hangs above them.
