I've been OBSESSED with this game ever since it came out and I finally started playing it. I only watched playthroughs of it until now, but it's been one of my favorite games for ages! So to celebrate me finally playing it, I drew some fanart of Mae in my sketchbook :]]
I've drawn plenty of Mae fanart the past years and I'm pretty sure I drew something similar to this at some point so maybe a redraw? I'll have to find it but I think it's in my last sketchbook
i think it’s very disappointing how much i see mae drawn skinny. the majority of nitw art i see depicts her as such, despite her describing herself as round in game. it’s a dialogue option that you literally can’t miss since the mirror scene is unavoidable
you can choose the other option, but you still see this one regardless of what you pick. mae is ROUND. this means she is NOT skinny. i guess some would argue that because her arms and legs are smaller that she is, but that’s literally just because of the game’s artstyle. EVERYONE is depicted that way, so it doesn’t change the fact that she is fat
another piece of dialogue describes her as “sturdy.” being a chubby person myself, this is literally what my mom called me when i was little. it’s really upsetting to see a character i love and relate to so much misrepresented this way when she is canonically built like me. it’s already rare to see good representation of fat people, so erasing the ones we get doesn’t help
next time you draw mae please try to keep this in mind. and to everyone who draws mae chubby already, i love you forever and always. thank you
Ok I’ve never posted here before but I wanted to share this Disco Elysium x Night in the Woods crossover fanart I drew. Please view the graffiti, I worked really hard on referencing both games :))))
