CN Commission: Game Over for Glad Li

Description

So I said i'd post a few commissions i've had from the glorious :icondamselcomics:, and the first question was always what would go on.
And I thought about every commission I had. Do people know this character? Does this make sense? Is that relevant at the moment or not? And then 1 thing struck me.

It's been a heck of a lot of years since I first started commissioning, hasn't it?

I used to be a big follower of the avgdid boards, and funnily enough, the one time I stopped lurking and introduced myself, the boards closed maybe a week later. Word got round of an artist I never heard of, with a new addition to his works which I adored, being the start of the Glad-Li series, and I think that's where it really started, like I never heard of the f.i.d series until much later. I kept tabs on the Glad-Li series, still pretty oblivious about the furry side of the force, and at some point, pretty far in the past now, I attempted to commission him. This wasn't my very first commission, but this is at least, my very first Glad-Li commission.

A lot of my DID roots came from media, games especially later on, and I think that's what made this. Truthfully, there were a palmful of games which I failed at on purpose for various reasons. Dead or Alive 2, Golden Sun, it was just my thing, and it still is today. I even told a few people I did this, and they admitted doing it too. It's ok to be good at games, and it's ok to be bad at games, but sometimes I just wanted a conclusion to being bad. No fade to black, or sad music while your character just lies dead. Some games do give a conclusion, and to me that's cool. If you die in silent hill 3, your body gets dragged off. If you died in some of the old 2d retro street brawl games, sometimes they had death traps for your characters to urge you to put more coins in to continue playing, final fight or the rebooted double dragon, so I don't really see a problem in playing final fantasy 7 as an all-female cast, and then having a game over conclusion of all of them tied up together by bandits or shinra soldiers.

CN really did not disappoint when he did this, and it remains to be one of my most favourite pieces that he's done for me. It's got that conclusion, it's got a little retro style to it, it had my favourite character of his in it, and it's with a number of my personal DID preferences.

I've done a fair few commissions now based on game overs, and i'm planning in the future to try and set up more game based commissions, exploring new genres,  but this is a commission that has been part of my weird heart for ages, and i'm really glad I took that plunge.
