Artist and Future fan Leigh actually felt that manner, and seeing the coy pose and supple, guardian-kicking legs of their art work, it is laborious to disagree.

Not content material to only go away it at “daddy long-legs” because the artist affectionately calls Rhulk, they’ve now gotten to work on a extra cuddly and approachable tackle the Witness, aka the Entity, aka the Voice within the Darkness, the bodily consultant of the paracausal Black Fleet on this actuality, the—you realize what, you get it.
The sample for the Rhulk pillow is offered for buy in Leigh’s Ko-Fi shop alongside a collection of Future and Borderlands fanart stickers, quickly to be joined by Rhulk’s coworker, the Witness.
