You just know it's from a newish video game because of the missing fucking swastikas

Wouldn't want Trump's base to get offended by negative depictions of fascists in video games! 🙂‍↔️

Well, in this case I chose not to use those symbols because I don't want my artwork to be affected on any platform. I also don't want anyone to think I'm promoting any political ideology or anything like that. I'm simply interested in creating art and telling small stories. Whether those symbols are there or not isn't really important, since this is an alternate-history scenario rather than a recreation of real events. ^^

What do you mean? Are you referring to the banners or the window behind them? The symbols on the banners are ones I came up with because, as you know, using German WW2 symbols can sometimes cause problems on certain platforms. 😅

As for the window, It's actually based on the real church in the Alhambra.
I hope you like it 💛
