ough. OUGH. this one. turned out. SO. GOOD. this is another one that i think may be one of my best works of all time. i was very excited to draw slugcat gigi, and giving her a shelter hibernation screen made for the perfect thumbnail. i think her slugcat name would probably just be The Prophet~ im quite happy with how i translated her sleeve patterns into slugcat body markings.

i mainly based the style off of survivor’s hibernation art, and only realized partway through that it was a pretty similar pose to monk’s hibernation art. i was alright with that, though. tbh i did cheap out and give her nubby hands instead of little slugcat fingers, and the artstyle isn’t a PERFECT match, but those are really my only complaints! i spent sooo much effort on the shading and colors and shapes and getting them just how i wanted them.

in all official hibernation screens, the slugcat sleeps in a bed of purplish blue grass. but to keep in line with gigi’s red aesthetics, i drew some nice maroon grass, with some of the blades coming up in front of her, out of focus. made sure to include the abstract wall structures behind her, though it’s quite dark and hard to see behind the logo. i also redrew the karma UI by hand to make it nice and crisp for the resolution and size i wanted it~ originally i was going to draw the sigil behind her head in her normal design as a red karma ten symbol, but i didn’t like the way it looked

btw the “rain” isn’t normally perfectly centered above the “world” in the logo. i had to do that manually. wtf video cult. what is the reason
