Happy Birthday, Chloe!

# Life is Strange 2 Spoiler alert! #

March 11th and it’s Chloe’s 26th birthday! To commemorate Chloe’s birthday I wanted to create a birthday drawing of her. Before this date I had recently played Life is Strange 2. In the game there’s a chance to see a photo of Max and Chloe after the events of Life is Strange. This photo shows a new look for Chloe, which soon after appeared in a number of art created by the fans. I also wanted to try drawing this new Chloe, so I got an idea of Chloe celebrating her birthday in the same settings as in that photo.

In the first Life is Strange game you get to see an image from one of Chloe’s previous birthday parties. She is clearly having a fight with her step-dad David. Both of them look like they hate each other.

I wanted this new birthday drawing of mine to have a reference to this exact scene. So, as Chloe and David are in much better terms in Life is Strange 2, I decided to re-create this scene by making a happier version of it. In this new drawing Chloe and David are looking back to this particular birthday party of Chloe’s and having a laugh about it. This time Chloe is not threatening David with a butter knife but is holding a cake shovel in a similar pose – to show a glimpse of her rebellious past!

I tried more cartoon-like style to draw faces in this work. It’s certainly faster to do than all those previous styles I’ve tried. Making this joyful birthday drawing made me happy, hopefully it has the same effect on you!
