Fan Art This scene made me cry Spoiler

P.S. I am bad at drawing. But really wanted to portray this scene.

Btw my horse is Kage. What's yours?

It was with Jin through his journey. He’s The Ghost from this point on

I mean, they were always in our hearts so not technically a lie

Why u spoiled for me😭

u/sack-o-krapo Jun 07 '25

Why you scrolling a subreddit for a 5 year old game if you haven’t finished it?! 😭

It didn’t earlier.

I pirate games.... Me just late😭😭

u/kalikid01 Jun 07 '25

For real there’s no spoiler alert here that’s messed up.

u/minikinbeast Jun 07 '25

What is the spoiler? Op has shown a screen shot of a cutscene where your horse is injured. That's hardly spoiler worthy.. you are constantly fighting Mongols and making your horse take fall damage accidentally, it's a reasonable outcome.

2

u/kalikid01 Jun 07 '25

Ohhh I see what you did there… umm yes there is no spoiler here… I remember the first time I accidentally sliced my horse I couldn’t eat for days cuz I felt so bad :( but he came back! :)

u/minikinbeast Jun 07 '25

Yea.. triangle feels so right as the mount button

u/Dragonslayer062207 Jun 07 '25

The scene was so sad that horse was the true goat and by the way, nice drawing

17

u/MuchContribution9729 Jun 07 '25

It feels like losing my soul 🥲

3

u/Dragonslayer062207 Jun 07 '25

I agree that horse was an absolute goat, even though it was a horse ha ha pretty sure it was probably a goat in disguise

2

u/that1max Jun 07 '25

This is so dumb, thank you, gave me the laugh I needed

2

u/Dragonslayer062207 Jun 07 '25

No problem at all I hope you have a good day or night

u/Infamousx73 Jun 07 '25

The way you drew that reminds me of Arthur’s drawings from rdr2

2

u/TheRebelBandit Jun 07 '25

I came here to say this. OP is talented. 💯

u/[deleted] Jun 07 '25

Your understanding and portrayal of the line of action and posture of the horse is astounding! Keep drawing my friend, you’ve got a good eye for it :)

10

u/MuchContribution9729 Jun 07 '25

Thanks. I'll try to get better

11

u/Novakhaine89 Jun 07 '25

That drawing is awesome! And my horse is always a black horse named Kage then a white horse named Sora

2

u/LegacyStardust Jun 07 '25

I did the same thing but I picked a horse that looked identical to my other one. lightish brown color with the white nose strip. i used to say "rehab was supposed to be a fresh start" every time i called him over. Phrase will never be the same anymore 💔

u/sevenaces Jun 07 '25

Mine was Sora! And it will always be Sora!

u/KING_0F_TH3_D34D Jun 07 '25

Kage gang

u/mardvk187 Jun 07 '25

Kage runs through the heavens now with a flock of wild mares.

u/[deleted] Jun 07 '25

Wait, the horse dies? I thought Garfield would be with me forever, the game literally said so.

2

u/RdyKrn18 Jun 07 '25

😭😭😭😭

2

u/markorlov96 Jun 07 '25

... was Kage

2

u/ImaginationDry8780 Jun 07 '25

It's way better than mine

2

u/Tatertot729 Jun 07 '25

Made me cry too. First open world action game to do so. The only other game that made me cry was Spiritfarer.

2

u/Noodlekeeper Jun 07 '25

Yeah, we all cried. You're not special. /s

2

u/IVoidApprovedI Jun 07 '25

No one will ever know our pain 😔

2

u/Background_Ad_8392 Jun 07 '25

Drawing reminds me of how Arthur draws in rdr2 looks good

2

u/AshyWhiteGuy Jun 07 '25

Please mark spoilers. A lot haven't played yet.

But it made me cry too.

2

u/MuchContribution9729 Jun 07 '25

Sorry for not adding spoiler guys. I have added the Spoiler tag now.

2

u/TheCatOfWonderland Jun 07 '25

Rest in peace Sora…

2

u/Exciting_Claim267 Jun 07 '25

I have not yet emotionally recovered.

2

u/Successful-Snow-6570 Jun 07 '25

I had nobu and then the second one yuna gave u I picked kage

2

u/sterling_pigeon Jun 07 '25

I noticed that if you bow in front of the grave, there's a small animation where the ashes swirl around Jin. Nice addition.

2

u/pixel809 Jun 07 '25

After that scene I became the ghost

2

u/ThEnragedMoon Jun 07 '25

I was about to ask if that was a charcoal drawing. It looks so good.

2

u/MuchContribution9729 Jun 07 '25

Yes I used charcoal pencil

2

u/Warfreak-2019 Jun 07 '25

Love your style! I love how you interpreted the scene and how you gave brush-like textures to the piece. It gives the artwork a mythic feel like it was drawn into a scroll

Keep up the good work!

2

u/BeginningSilver9349 Jun 07 '25

Are you Arthur Morgan?

1

u/MuchContribution9729 Jun 07 '25

Bro he literally draws in 5 seconds 😭

2

u/away_in_the_head Jun 07 '25

I would pay money for this drawing. I really like it

2

u/irishstereotype Jun 07 '25

Fun fact. If you visit the resting place and bow, there’s an environmental reaction.

Rest well, old friend.

2

u/Retr0246 Jun 07 '25

Pretty good drawing, really sells the emotion of the scene.

2

u/Alcantrez Jun 07 '25

That drawing is beautiful, really brings out the emotions from this scene.

2

u/Tsarinya Jun 07 '25

I really like your drawing, looks like it’s a memory. I was so sad when mine died.

2

u/DaShrubman Jun 07 '25

Killing the protagonist's horse or mount is an unnecessary heartbreak tactic that should've stopped after RDR2. The only part of this marvelous game's story I hate with a passion. RIP Kage, you ride with the Kami now.

2

u/PanamanCreel Jun 07 '25

Same here. I had to stop the game for a day or two. Once I was able to get back into the game, I wanted to head back to that fort and KILL everyone at that fort.

2

u/Lucas2099 Jun 07 '25

Me too, bro :(

2

u/jjeisoul Jun 07 '25

your drawing captures the feelings of that scene very well. I think you did a good job at that. it broke me 🥲 "someday we'll go for a peaceful ride" my nobu 😭

2

u/LegacyStardust Jun 07 '25

My first horse was also named Kage. RIP my baby

2

u/AddsJays Jun 08 '25

I will never forget you my Sora

2

u/Shnibblefritz Jun 08 '25

As crude as the drawing is, we understand! Kage was my friend, even in my 2nd play through

2

u/-sment Jun 08 '25

Always pick a brown horse named nobu

2

u/Starstreak520 Jun 08 '25

Dude this drawing is awesome, Wdym you’re bad at drawing

1

u/MuchContribution9729 Jun 09 '25

Started drawing recently. So I'm not that good

1

u/Invoiced_ Jun 09 '25

Kage((((((

u/MysticalCyan Jun 10 '25

Your drawing is fantastic.

It looks like something that you’d genuinely see as a painting or representing the tragedy of war.

u/zakk_archer_ovenden3 Jun 07 '25

SPOILER TAG YOU MOTHERFUCKER

u/Swordum Jun 07 '25

First rule of Reddit: never join a subreddit if you are not up to date with the subject

2

u/zakk_archer_ovenden3 Jun 07 '25

No, i know, some people dont.

2

u/TheCatOfWonderland Jun 07 '25

the game has been out for 5 years at this point and you’re on the ghost of tsushima subreddit, what did you expect?

1

u/kalikid01 Jun 07 '25

Yup this subreddit already ruined a major plot twist for me. “ How were you guys able to beat ********?” Right in the damn title. I pretended to scroll by and forget the name of the surprising foe.

1

u/Adventurous_Can_8047 Jun 07 '25

Why don’t I remember my horse dying?! I remember they gave me a new one when I had to infiltrate lord shimura’s castle. Am I missing something?

1

u/V555_dmc Jun 07 '25

You get the new one because the one you start the game with dies. Tbh I don’t remember exactly how

-1

u/Craigyoung810 Jun 07 '25

If that made you cry you might have depression issues you should look into that

1

u/MR_ELIDEL Jun 10 '25

The thing is…I played the DLC(Iki) before going into the third part…In the boat part, I thought Kage(my horse)died…now he’s actually dead
