This final commissioned  artwork by the talented Afterlaughs completes our series built around the  theme of the one person who changed your life in such a meaningful way that  their very presence defines that specific time of your life. The one  person you confide in; the one person who sees you at your worst and at your  best.

Some of you may be surprised  to see this artwork depicting Max and Chloe, but we feel it resonates very  deeply with the core theme in our series. “The One” is not a single  permanent person or soul-mate, whose relationship to us demands the exclusion  of all others. Before tragedy struck Chloe’s life in such a devastating way,  Max was that one special person to her. Their friendship made young Chloe who  she was. When Max was forced to move away and contact broke down, Chloe’s  life lacked that one special person until the moment she met Rachel. In the  time period you play through in Life is Strange: Before the Storm and the  ensuing years, Rachel became that one person to Chloe whose presence defined  that period of her life.

It is a glimpse into the  special relationships that defined Chloe that we wanted to share with this  series of commissioned artworks. We hope that having been along on this  journey with us, you too will reflect on the various people and relationships  in your own life who defined whole periods of it. Many of these people may no  longer be in our lives today, but that does not diminish their impact on us  in any way.

It should not and has never  been about making comparisons between any of these people - We should instead  rejoice in the fact that we were lucky enough to have them in our lives, even  for a moment in time. They are who made us who we are today.

 A  special thank you to Afterlaughs (@ohnoafterlaughs), for her hard work and incredible talent in  helping bringing this series to life. You can also follow Afterlaughs on: Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.
