You're Not Alone
🕑 Added 2023-06-14 05:57:51 +0000 UTCI was given such a phenomenal opportunity to create the front and back cover for the Final Fantasy IX Charity Fan Zine: You're Not Alone.
This was a labor of love. I feel like it took all of my heart and soul to make this happen. I wanted it to be the best art I could make. This game means so much to me, and I know how much it means to the fans. Working on these projects with other passionate folks is the biggest honor. Better yet, raising money for a good cause! For this zine, we thought it was important to focus on the mental and emotional struggles Zidane goes through, especially near the end of the game. His experience and self perception always deeply resonated with me. The mods chose The Jed Foundation; a non-profit organization that protects emotional health and prevents suicide for teens and young adults in the United States. This is so near and dear to me, as I have struggled with my emotional health and suicidal ideations for over 2 decades.
This zine is finally in production and I can't wait to get my hands on a copy! We were able to reach enough pre-orders to get this in hardcover! I also did 2 other pieces for this project, in the form of a playing card and acrylic standee! I'll be sure to share those later!
I'll be making die cut stickers of each character, as well as prints, which I'll be sure to send the out as Patreon gifts! I've got to wait for the books to be out and delivered before that, a little later this year!
