Digital artwork of Alex from Stardew Valley with my original character, Mallory. They are walking out into the field hand in hand at sunrise, Alex smiling and looking over his shoulder at Mal as he leads him into the field. They are both wearing pajamas as if they have just gotten out of bed, and Mal's hair is unkempt. Alex has his mermaid's pendant on but Mal is missing his. The sun is cresting over the treeline, dark blue fades on the outer edges of the sky while the trees and field are blanketed in gold. Alex looks excited, while Mallory looks in awe and a little bit overwhelmed.
