Cold Blood

Silent Hill Challenge Day 6/8

Game: Silent Hill: Homecoming
Release Date: 2008
Summary: This entry follows the journey of Alex Shepherd, a soldier returning from war, to his hometown of Shepherd's Glen, where he finds the town in disarray, and his younger brother missing. As he continues on his search to find his younger brother, he discovers more about the Order—the cult of Silent Hill—as well as the town's history, and his own past.
Favorite Aspect of the Game: ALEX-FUCKING-SHEPHERD. Homecoming may not have been the best Silent Hill game, but Alex is by far my favorite protagonist. There's something about his story that really depresses me. To love a sibling with all your heart but have to grow up being second best? I've always thought I could relate to that... it breaks my heart.
Favorite Track(s) on the Soundtrack: Witchcraft, Mr. JOY, Cold Blood, The Terminal Show, Snow Flower, Total Invasion, Elle Theme, Alex Theme, One More Soul to the Call.


If you guys haven't noticed yet, each day and each game gets a new primary medium, such as newspaper, colored pencils, water colors, acrylics, copic markers, ink, etc. I picked the medium randomly for each piece, and Alex got stuck with plain ol' pencil, which kind of stinks because this is one of my favorite pictures technically and conceptually, but it's sort of boring to look at without color... I might go back and add to it later when i have more time or something.

Also, if you couldn't tell from above, Homecoming has my favorite soundtrack. It isn't my favorite game, It just has my favorite protagonist and favorite soundtrack. Whoops.


(ALSO, THERE ARE FOUR SETS OF HANDS. FOUR. GET IT?)
