Creepy asshole smiling gif

Animating on procreate is a real pain in the ass, you know that? Trying to get used to it though.

—————— Pretentious rambling below here 🔻

One of my favorite things about Harvests design is his smile. He's a sick individual with a complete lack of morals, arguably one of the worst raiders out in the wastes. The suffering of others is just a byproduct of his existence and often just a result of his impulse rather than actual malice.

He’s perverse, manipulative, overly indulgent on plenty worse things than chems (though he loves to shoot up psycho) and I like to think his smile is representative of that. It’s over the top, too wide, too straight for a raider, sickening even. It would look unnatural or uncanny on most other people but it suits him fine even in situations where smiling is inappropriate (even for a raider) because there’s something distinctly inhuman about him. He’s unpredictable.

He could be smiling because he likes you, sure. It’s nice to imagine he approves of you in some sense so maybe he won’t kill you- but more likely than not he doesn’t really care about you one way or the other. (He doesn’t think about most people that hard) He’s just smiling to make you feel something, to make you think something, because it’s simply entertaining to control someone like that. To put thoughts in their head. Or, he could be thinking about skinning you alive. You never really know. His smile doesn’t actually tell you anything because he’s almost always wearing it, or at the very least willing to put it on without much reason. It’s just what he does.

I could talk about this jackass forever if you can’t tell. To be cringe is to be free.
