Description
'twas high time I made a new one.
While I have dabbled in a lot of different artistic categories, my main love will always be environment design, which I hoped to convey here.
Also reflecting this year on my Taiwanese heritage and, as always, all things dapper
also two easter eggs that I'm 100% sure you'll spot, Suzume ^^

Amazing! I think you conveyed both your identity and your love of environmental design in a really unique way.

I had thought about adding more aspects of my life here and there in the portrait, but I figured "well if I keep working this thing I'll probably sabotage it".

It's a tough balance to maintain.

Oh wow what an awesome way to show that part of yourself!

Thanks!
Originally I was thinking about just drawing myself and maybe adding a steampunk eyepiece or something, but then I remembered I also like surrealism.

Hmmm, sure. I don't discourage it.
(but you should know I worked for 5 days on this so I'm probably pretty aware of all the places it could have been better, but just accepted it as my best effort)

Why might that be the Orchestrion and the Crimson Kingfisher I see up there? ^_^

Hahaha, perhaps! I like that idea.
But there's two other easter eggs.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hmm, well, I'll have to keep looking then...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
One of them is not so much hidden as it is inferred...

Oh, I see... I want to say it's something about the water-powered-ness of this city in your head, a la Legendia, but...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Aww shoot, I could've included a Legendia reference...!
Here's a hint, it's not related to the city.
If I could give another you a hint, it'd be that the basis of fiction is that people have some sort of connection with each other...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, no need to- you've made many a Legendia reference in your other work (SSnPP, etc), right?
Ooooohhhhh, you're like Richard Harrow here..........
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha, yes I have! I was thinking about that the other day. (when I do restart SSnPP, either the continuation or the "Brotherhood redo" I suppose I'll keep a reference or too) I'm kind of glad you remembered those... ^^
Yep!! That's one.

I wouldn't be so quick to forget. ^^
Ha ha, I don't know, I think I've run dry on this topic...

All right. The Golden Ambrosia- the you gave me- is sitting pinned on my cravat.

Oh!
Wow, I wouldn’t have expected that!!

In your mind's eye, there are fantastical steam-punk cities.

Can confirm this is real. I saw 47ness at a convention once and part of his humanoid mask fell off.

Good thing it was WonderCon so nobody even noticed.
