re-watched Perfume: Story of a Murderer yesterday to get in the zone for some specific mood drafting and wow that soundtrack never (ever) misses

From the late Jesse Hamm. My personal mantra for the past decade.

an illustration made up of a collage of drawings and lowpoly 3D models. The modeled characters are an elf woman and goblin woman dressed in yellow jumpsuits with sashes tied at the waist. both have long hair and each wears large glasses. They are shown multiple times around the piece in different poses: facing the viewer with arms stretched as if presenting something, standing back to back looking upward with a slight bird eye view, walking side by side looking at each other, and sitting back to back with their legs out in front of them and hands supporting them behind them. The backdrop is a pale peachy orange and teal blue decorated with flowers, brushstrokes, and a pair of wings drawn on each woman in the walking pose.
