Fanart Day: Stray đ±
The cat from "Stray" has been chosen by my Patrons in the Fanart Day poll ;D
I loved playing this game - that adventure was so wonderful! And the unique storytelling, seeing the world through cat's eyes... Awesome đ
I wanted to make this piece interesting especially when printed - the white elements gonna blend with the paper and push the painterly background even more to the back.
I wish I could make a selective varnish if the price wasn't ridiculously high đŠ
This artwork went through tons of changes! You can check them out here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/fanar.....stray-70818856

This is a wonderful game, you did a gorgeous piece of art.<3
Dearest, you are seriously onto something with this background style. I keep staring at it and just... It speaks to me. I love it. Absolutely love it. More like this, please! đ€
And I'm so looking forward to playing this on the PS5!

Beautiful portrait! I'm loving watching this game
Itâs cold and itâs dark
Keeping hold of a spark
They sealed us away
They were keeping us safe
But as years creep to age
Thereâs a hole in the ark
Lost in circuits and screens
And imperfect machines
I course through the wires
And optical fibres
Wait for an outsider
To come set me free
So maybe youâre the saviour Iâve been praying for?
Fluffier than I anticipated, but Iâll take it, sure
Iâve sent you these lights
Through this unending night
If my memory is right
Iâve never strayed before
So bring me online
Iâve been locked inside
Between the neon lights
We are lost to time
Itâll be alright
I can be your guide
Beneath a sea of silence
And a concrete sky
(âŠwidespread plague and natural disastersâŠ)
(âŠIn light of the steadily worsening global ecological scenario, the controversial âWalled Cityâ programme is now taking applications, for more on thatâŠ)
(âŠas global population continues to freefallâŠ)
To all those left deep inside these walls
Their lone hope rests in your tiny paws
Where the night extends and the time sits paused
This home wonât mend til the sky here falls
Wonât you open the sky for me?
Wonât you open the sky?
Wonât you open the sky for me?
Wonât you open the sky?
They say your futureâs in the stars
So what are we to do?
When the stars just form a circle
So your future is a loop
Eternity of servitude
With no one left to serve it to
You couldâve turned us off
Before these sewers turned to tombs
We turned into you
Now we grapple with the syntax
Humanity was doomed
But we have to pay your sin tax
Mimic every routine
Trying to be all youâve been
Trying to find a new dream
Sifting through your bin bags
Why we do the things we do
Is truly half the riddle
Maybe you were living proof
Intelligence is artificial?
Built this place to keep you safe
And then the haven changed to grave
But left us sentience by mistake?
Well, thatâs hardly civil
At least, we think you did
Thatâs what we seem to be
Is this gift a glitch that twisted free-
-of bland obediency?
Or are our souls a mix
Of ceaseless tangled frequencies?
Chewing up and spitting memories
In random sequences?
All our thoughts, all we feel?
Ones and noughts trapped in steel?
Something more, something real?
Threaded code caught in a wheel
That spins an algorithmic tapestry
Of what it thinks we have to be
A Frankenstein of fragments
Fractal pattern personalities
If imitationâs flattery
Perhaps thatâs why you wired it in
A parlor trick to keep the systems
Ticking whilst theyâre idlinâ
So can it be that deep inside
Thereâs more than code youâll find within?
Or are our minds and lives alike
Just combing the recycle bin?
If love is emulated, would we find it just as sweet?
Where lies the defining line âtwixt binary and grief?
Is the nature of whatâs real
In how it starts or how it feels?
So if the past canât be revealed
Perhaps what matters is belief?
We live eternal with our circuits running laps
Until our servos burn out and we, purposeless, collapse
Or societyâs detritus
Tries to rise and find a life outside
But how are we supposed to manage that?
Oh⊠thereâs a cat?
(The new Neco Corp Mk 3 companions make household chores a breeze! Sit back and relax as they do the jobs you donât want to, for just twelve easy payments ofâŠ)
(âŠcitywide lockdown is now in effectâŠ)
(Neco Corp makes waste a thing of the past, with new advances in bacterial researchâŠ)
To all those left deep inside these walls
Their lone hope rests in your tiny paws
Where the night extends and the time sits paused
This home wonât mend til the sky here falls
Wonât you open the sky for me?
Wonât you open the sky?
Wonât you open the sky for me?
Wonât you open the sky?
So stray from the light
Stray from the path
Stray through the night
Stray through the dark
Stray from the safety of whatâs known
Stray til you save me, stray til youâre home
Stray for an ending
Stray for a start
Stray for a future exhumed from the sparks
Stray til we suture the wounds of the past
Stray for the tools Noah doomed to the Ark (Wonât you open the sky for me?)
Stray for a chance
Stray for a purpose (Wonât you open the sky?)
For the discarded
Stray for the worthless (Wonât you open the sky for me?)
Stray for the last of us made to endure it (Wonât you open the sky?)
Stray for the lost on the way to the surface (Wonât you open the sky for me?)
Stray for a city and slip through the seams (Wonât you open the sky?)
Stray for the sun that weâve seen on the screens (Wonât you open the sky for me?)
Stray so that one day we might feel its beams (Wonât you open the sky?)
Stray for tomorrow, Stray for a dream
Wonât you open the sky?
