It has truly been an honor to be considered for this first instance of community-made Atragraphs, exploring a new format alongside brand new in-progress characters! This project has been a treat as someone with a huge interest in whatever small peeks into game development I can get.

This commission came at a very interesting time, starting in March within a few days of beginning a new day job that unfortunately took much more of my time and energy than I expected or wanted. This led to quite a crunch to finish this commission and plenty of elements I wish I had had more time and resources to devote to. But I learned a lot while drawing these characters and juggling multiple large responsibilities (both within the project and out), and I'm very happy with the extremely lovely feedback I've gotten throughout and after the process!

Thank you to Charly, Digital Extremes and the Warframe community for the incredible support, as always. <3

I had the pleasure of meeting Sara Holmes, the producer at Gears for Breakfast, at TennoCon 2025 dinner and at events since. I had known about A Hat in Time since my friends were obsessed with it in high school, so meeting someone behind it and subsequenting getting to make something for the studio, especially through a primarily Warframe and Soulframe event, was and still is absolutely crazy to me.

To prepare for the project, I played through A Hat in Time (and loooooooooooved it). Predictably, my favorite character ended up being The Snatcher, so much of our ideation included him in some way. The goal of the piece was to depict a cozy holiday environment with food, and I eventually landed on the idea of Snatcher working a kitchen alongside Hat Kid and Bow Kid, having been inspired by his iconic "KILL the chef" apron (which I first spotted in the summer 2023 event promo art). I also referenced the Gears for Breakfast logo for the gear-shaped egg, pancake, and pineapple slice flipping in the frying pan.

For the vector chocolate icons, I chose to use Inkscape. This was my first time using Inkscape, after having a bit of experience using Adobe Illustrator in school (and no longer holding a license lol), and it was definitely a different art process than what I'm used to. But I'm happy with the results!

Huge thank you to Sara Holmes for extending this opportunity to me and for being a great and gracious client! And thanks to Gears for Breakfast for making such a fun game, I'm glad you enjoyed your chocolates :)

Warframe's captura mode was used extensively to get plenty of reference material, and I pushed myself to render and detail this portrait to the best of my abilities. While I wish I had put more work into concepting and workshopping the background earlier in the process, I'm still quite happy with how it's turned out! Thanks again to the wonderful folks at Digital Extremes!

I was advised to use my experience with my Hollowframe project and to draw inspiration from the Radiance from Hollow Knight for the visuals of this piece, which led to a warm color palette and intense visuals. I also drew from many visual references from Warframe as guides.

It was released alongside four other amazing glyphs made by Ritens, CalamityDeath, Kirdy, and Studio Cyen in the Community Art Pack I on March 27th, 2024, purchasable with Warframe's premium currency Platinum. You can find an article written about each glyph -> here! <-

Starting mid-2021, Hollowframe has since expanded from a personal grid compendium into detailed scene illustrations, an evolving poster, and a even full card deck.

It has been a defining project in my growth as an artist, maybe even the defining project, and as such I believe deserves its own section to cover it from start to most recent.
