A dark scene showing Scaltrox and s0ph0s sitting on logs at a campfire in the woods. Scaltrox is roasting two marshmallows on the campfire. s0ph0s is playing a bizarre string instrument using a bow that looks to be made from an antler. Both are wearing space suits adapted for anthro bodies. A viola is sitting against the log that Scaltrox is seated on. Space suit helmets are sitting near both, with gloves and tail covers tucked inside.

CrowChips did a fantastic job with this piece commemorating when Scale and I played Outer Wilds during the “oh this isn’t going to blow over” phase of the COVID-19 lockdowns. It was an incredible experience for us, and we’re both so happy to have something we can get printed and hung on our wall to commemorate it :3

Outer Wilds is not really a co-op game, but we made it into one by sitting next to each other and trading off who was in the pilot’s seat every hour or so. It was a wonderful game, and I highly recommend that anyone who likes adventure/exploration games give it a shot. Note: do not do any research into the game! Don’t even watch the Steam preview videos. The game has some interesting mechanics that are much more fun if you discover them on your own.

There’s also another version of this commission, for Halloween! I’ve put it in a spoiler block below, since it will definitely reveal things about the Echoes of the Eye DLC.

Echoes of the Eye DLC spoilers, alt version

A dark scene showing Scaltrox and s0ph0s sitting on logs at a campfire in the woods. The campfire flames are an eerie green. Scaltrox is roasting two marshmallows on the campfire. s0ph0s is playing a bizarre string instrument using a bow that looks to be made from an antler (one of the Pursuers' cello-things). Both are wearing space suits adapted for anthro bodies, and appear frightened. Behind them, an owl/deer creature (a Pursuer) is stalking up to them out of the fog, holding a strange lantern-like device. — In this version, we have a spooky Halloween surprise creeping up behind us~
