I got sent a key for this one weeks ago, and it has been stewing in my brain since. A powerful story for the current moment, but also digging deep into stuff that hits hard even if my life as a straight, mostly-comfortable white guy doesn't allow me to relate so fully. For the Mouthwashing crowd.

This racing inspired Bloodborne Trophy was for a private commission that never got shared, a pitch for a charity event that never panned out. Still, it was a crunch to get it done in time and so I want to share my work. Painting and cleanup by me, 3d sculpt by @squibyprops.bsky.social.
