I've chosen to draft a soundtrack for my fav book series, Red Rising.

It's a Space Opera so I've gone with some powerful 'spacey' ballads but also thrown in some classic rock/metal tracks there to be used during some of the battle scenes.

There's an event in RR called an 'Iron Rain'. (You can see it in the background of the attached image) It's very similar to dropping in Helldivers, when I first read of the Iron Rain all I could hear was the Helldivers theme.

Black and gold kits hit hard, Arsenal's 22/23 away kit is an all time fav of mine. We should've been wearing that when we lifted the Champions League trophy, not our Lynx Africa one ;)

Anyway I've combined that kit with one of my old fav's, our 95/96 away kit. I like the simple yet dynamic shape of the bolt, adds a subtle flair.

Also BRING BACK THE OLD BADGE

I think Shutter Island is absolutely littered with them, all alluding to what's actually going on.

Some of these include Leo's character never lighting his own cigarettes (he's not allowed anything that could start a fire).

However there's a clever one involving a glass of water. In the scene they're interviewing nurses and one of them asks for a glass of water. When she takes a drink there's no glass, she’s just miming the action. This is said to be because Leo's character only see's what he want's to see and is supposedly blocking out it out because of his trauma involving water.

When it comes to games fewer things make me laugh more than my mates whiffing.

This was from years ago during the open beta of Valorant, our resident potty mouth was in the hot seat for a clutch moment and pulled of this HUGE play.

Queue me running out of breath in the background.

II from Sleep Token

I've always admired drummers, they're literally the base for any band and often the most ignored.

I think II is a true artist when it comes to the drums, he has a aura of confidence, when you hear him speak about his craft you can feel knowledge and passion oozing from him.

Nothing is really known about II but that's kinda the point, everyone in the band is anonymous. I became a fan after discovering II's Drumeo video in which he dissects his favourite tracks to play and goes into depth on his techniques and inspirations. Said video is nearly an hour long, if you just want a taster of what he can do/what I'm waffling about check out the video below.

Side note, Chad Smith from the Chilli Peppers did a video with Drumeo where they play a song they've never heard before and get them to play a drum track for it. Excellent video, well worth a watch!

I'm so bloody proud of this, it was actually really fun to make and a sparked my love for making art which is hard to do now it's my job!!

I've attached several screens for proof of process, I decided to try a simple line drawing, I got a new Wacom tablet the other week and it was a good test of it's capabilities (more so mine, I'm not the best at drawing)

The idea was sparked by a cause that's close to my heart, my partners 3 year old keeps referring to poor little Charmander as a Dinosaur but REAL ones know the truth!!!

There's some excellent submissions here, big Halo fan... but I am surprised no ones mentioned Pokemon!

Specifically the battle music, perhaps it's nostalgia but there's a lot of good themes to choose from.

I've chosen Cynthia's theme because I think it's iconic, it's a really tough fight and the music brings back many memories of Frustration but the overwhelming sense of accomplishment too.

It's really hard for me to make it to games living overseas and all, every time I'm able too it's special though.

This particular one was the first in a long time and it was only made better by being there with a close friend of mine.

The end result was a 2-1 loss to Brighton at home, I was just thankful to be able to see a game again.

Some excellent submissions here!

Here's my submission for Sevro Au Barca from Red Rising, in hindsight it's far too neat and tidy for him but the designer in me took over and I wanted it to have the mood board aesthetic
