Description Obligatory fanart based off my current obsession, an awesome little side-scrolling platformer named Limbo. It's a really beautifully dark game, very Ico-meets-Heart-of-Darkness, and the whole game is done in this art style. I absolutely love it.

Had a lot of fun with the gradients in the background here, everything is handpainted - no vectors, no fill tool. That's why it's a little squiggly here and there, it is also pretty quick work. But it was fun!

Just a little something new from me as it's been a while.

Go play this game! <3

This is referenced from the game (but I edited the scene a little), and Limbo is copyrighted to some game company I think it's called Playdead XD The drawing is mine.

"Totally peaceful man. It's like you're locked away from the world and nothing can harm you."
"Yeah.... nothing can get you out again either bro."
"Oh shi....."

".....well if you're out there can you get me some food and water and maybe a gameboy? Think of it as a sidequest, not like I'll be going anywhere."

Limbo is indeed a very good game: I've seen a few let's plays of it and there usually good.

I really am the only one in the world who didn't know about it lol. It's terrible my friends don't think to tell me these things.

Wow! The atmosphere of this pic is incredible! I usually pass these "silhouette" type pictures by, but yours drew me in and practically begged me to take a closer look. Into the favorites it goes.

Keep it up, Noll!

Thanks! I copied the art style almost exactly - though I made it grassier. I would like to do more scenes from the game though, and maybe develop my own style of them in the process. Really glad you like it

It's a console game, but you can get it for PC. You can get it here: [link] and it's only like 10 or 15 dollars.

Yeah it is. It's a short game, but that's very little for ANY game. And it's awesome.

Yeahhhh but I think for the sort of game it is, very like Ico with no major enemies, mostly running around pulling levers and solving mini puzzles and things, it'd be very tedious if it was a long game. I'm coming up on halfway through it now and I think I'll probably be happy enough with the length.
