Cajsa’s Daily Flickr Pick: Essyit Turns Devil May Cry 5 Screenshots Into Art

Cajsa Lilliehook covers the best in virtual world screenshot art and digital painting

I love this “Devil May Cry 5” screenshot from Essyit. There is a story that we are left to complete. Why is she looking out the car window? What is she smiling at down on the ground? Is it a puppy or a cat? Or maybe she’s smiling because she’s handily vanquished a foe whose corpse lies next to her car. After all, it is a game. She’s definitely smiling and the light is bright and cheery, so probably a pet, right?

This screenshot is powerful. By tilting it about 30° off its axis, she conveys more movement and makes it a more active photo. The brightness ahead draws you to where he is running. You know instinctively what is important thanks to color choices and the placement of the subject running up the diagonal that goes from upper left to lower right. Notice, too, how the angle of the weapon echoes the angle of the bus.

Well, this untitled shot is creepy. Those aren’t midges, though that was my first thought. I don’t actually know what they are but then, something about this photo is so creepy I don’t like looking at it very long. I don’t really like it because it makes my skin crawl, but I think that is what Essyit was going for, making it a very effective photo.

Interesting to see Gta v no.1 on twitch with solely rp content of avs. Things are afoot methinks.
