Stalemate

Yeah! Another draft with more corrections. It shouldn’t sound so terrible now.

Anyways, this is for Jack and PM in their chase through the Furthest Ring. Quotes from Sburban Jungle (as usual), Explore, Flare, and Black. Inspired by Noirscape. How do you feel about it?

THIS TRACK ART CAUSED ME SO MUCH PAIN AND SUFFERING so I'm just calling it done because I like how it looks now. I drew this for Stalemate, which should be on the LOFAM2 album that will hopefully come out by Christmas this year!

This track art is making me cry over how a lot of my favorite characters are Dersites and how hard they are to color well in a painterly style, just so you know. The crack in the Furthest Ring was a whole lot of fun, though! I can't exactly make this animated since it's track art, so I decided to make a lot of little hue changes in the crack itself. I'm pretty satisfied with the effect I got by doing that!

#lune draws things once every blue moon #lune is still kind of sort of terrible-ish at commentary

Although Stalemate didn't end up on Land of Fans and Music 2 in the end (Sburban Genesis by the same artist did, instead), this artwork ended up getting used about a year later for Dogfight (Dirtiest's Dubstep Remix) on Land of Fans and Music 3!
