Not sure if you are up to art requests rn. But if you do, what does your interpretaion of Daisy (Boxxer’s girlfriend) looks like?
Hmm that is a very interesting question! It was a fun exercise of imagination... i think the whole chapter serves as a parallel to how Hugo feels, overwhelmed by his father's presence, searching for the loving touch of his mother, a feminine figure, only for his story to be ended shortly, deemed unimportant by the batter, much like what sadly happened...very interesting part of the game.
Based on the song I’m Not Ok by Weathers and a redraw from an old artwork that I never uploaded to my main but instead to my Ballman ask blog (which was unfinished)
As I put together RAGE posts, I want to talk about some Panic in Ballville stuff for RAGE.
__________________
RAGE is filled with LOTS of symbolism, and symbolism is very prominent in RAGE’s PiB as some sections of PiB may foreshadow RAGE’s ending. PiB portrays its symbolism through colors and mythical creatures. One common mythical creature for PiB are dragons!
__________________
Here are 3 of PiB’s main dragons and dragon-like characters (ALTs provide brief descriptions):
(all 3 drawn by @orthodoxian-wonders)
These characters will appear frequently within the PiB segments, especially The Beast.
__________________
PiB overall contains lots of mythical creatures, and has a very different setting when compared to it’s appearance in OFF:
Ballville is a swamp/forest area. Though there are cities in this area, our characters reside in the rural area. Boxxer (who we named ‘Barley’) is a farmer who does boxing as a hobby. Barley and Daisy live a cottagecore-esque life and tend to their own and wild animals in the swamp. Ballman (who we named Rudy) resides in the prairie-like fields near these swamps. Rudy is solitary and lives a hidden life with his clones and some of the animals he captures. Rudy occasionally sells these mythical animals on the black market so he can gain money for creating clone machines and other gadgets. Barley has an issue with this underground black market which fuels the main Boxxer/Ballman conflict, but, this conflict roots down into a deeper story that even involves their childhoods.
…………
We decided to give PiB a name that corresponds it’s setting:
Panic in Ballville: Fern Marsh

Again, big respects to @orthodoxian-wonders for being our artist for Panic in Ballville: Fern Marsh. He will be doing the art for all the segments to give PiB:FM that “Old childrens picture book” vibe.
