Game Art: tomayto_tomato's Arma: Four Seasons (2017)
I rarely feature vernacular machinima on this site. Not because I don't find it interesting, but because fandom operates on a completely different register than video art/contemporary

Overall, the idyllic scenes remind me of The Seasons in Quincy: A Portrait of John Berger,
