    A Stunning art I discovered last year, which i addapted in my Pathfinder gae as the place every dead person thing they are once they are dead, Everything feels so unique in this paintingh and in a way we can feel how it looks like this place makes sense and doesn’t at the same time

      I’d be surprised if there wasn’t any connection. It definitely looks inspired, but what’s the context in destiny? (I’ve never played it)

    Is it bad that I know this work because it was repeatedly shown in Signalis? Probably, but I wish we could see the other versions that were lost.
