🎶 Sailing to new waters,
The rush of a new day 🎶

Fanart for Stray Gods: The Roleplaying Musical.
I wanted to associate each of Grace's love interests with ways of navigating out of being lost at sea.
Pan gets the sail, he's a free spirit, well versed with wandering with the winds.
Persephone has her throne, sitting in the captain's seat. She's familiar with taking charge.
Apollo has the signal lamp, referencing the lighthouse motif that appears in Phantom Pains. He's a little aloof here; while he's not the most confident about being around his Idol family he's certainly still here for the ride. (Yes, his romance songs are my favourite).
And finally, the Adrift reprise when Freddie is present for the trial says Grace has "oar in hand" - and who better to hand it to her than Freddie, a proven adventurer that has been handy with equipment during the course of the story?

Creating a vivid sunrise was a main goal for this piece, so I tried out a different style from usual to allow bright and even contrasting colours to appear close together without bleeding and creating muddy mixes. I'm really happy with how things ended up coming together!
I loved playing this game and exploring all of the fantastic music variations. Getting to make this art to celebrate the characters and world of Stray Gods brought me lots of joy.
