you try to hide it. hidden it in plain sight. your heart on your sleeve, boiling over as it drives you forward

#one piece #trafalgar law #trafalgar d water law #law one piece #trafalgar one piece #one piece fanart #you give me a man who acts like he doesn't love #yet literally has heart motifs as tribute to the love and compassion he was once given that he holds so dearly #(head in hands) fictional men made for me to be a freak about ❤ #other caption contemplations where how he barely contains it but his love is bursting at the seams #which i'm now realizing i maybe should've gone with given how that much more ties with the visual metaphor #EDIT: I FORGOT HIS FINGER LETTERS. so i fixed it and changed the caption lol

So for the bodyguard au wanted to make alternate designs for power ups based on incorporating them with shy guy masks and shy guy variants. Listen I will take any opportunity to make outfits for characters it is just so much fun!

Adding sketches on both how the mask works along with an example of a transformation sequence below the “keep reading” to avoid this post getting super long. Quick edit before I forget I do plan on an alternate cat (super bell) power up that leans more into the cat aesthetic. I just wanted to design a more stealth/field outfit for him. I also have drafts for a knight design for the metal power up! Those are coming later though.

So I wanted to work on the setup that power ups aren’t readily accessible in the Darklands (with the exception of fire flowers and maybe boo shrooms). To counter this I’m going with the concept of fusing power ups with masks so they can be used multiple times (think Majora’s mask). 

Currently working with the idea of while this does make the power up a bit weaker, as long as the mask isn’t broken or removed from the user the power up will stay in effect.

Also on how shy guy masks work with different faces this just goes with my headcanon that there are different things under each shy guy’s mask. Varying from some shy guys just having a void that stares back to horrifying appendages and the masks just cover these so they can all blend in together. 

The transformation sequence wouldn’t happen every time a mask would be used, but I will never pass an opportunity to draw Luigi break dancing. (Btw the reference for this sequence was Deboshir’s dance when he was going off against Zip Rock, break dancing competitions are super cool and I highly recommend watching them). Anyhow this is super rough, but I hope it gets the general idea across. 

#luigi #mr l #smb #super mario bros #shy guy #bodyguard au #my art #did i need to make the power ups more magical girl? not really. did i want to? yes. #quick note yes i made the bee power up look more like a wasp so it acts more as a visual contrast to bee mario #i liked how the leaf power up for mario is a tanooki while it is a kitsune for luigi and i just wanted to add that to another power up #also yes the boo power up the lantern is a reference to mario is missing #mario and the phantom

of course someone that likes june egbert and not john likes velma, congrats on the bad taste

i normally wouldnt answer an ask like this but saying "likes june egbert and not john" abt me is fully insane. like you do realize the john egbert art tag on this blog goes back 19 PAGES AND 13 YEARS RIGHT...in terms of sheer numbers hes by far the character ive drawn the most all time. a couple years ago i made a 10 year retrospective post abt all the john egbert ive drawn... i dont just like john i LOVE Him 😭

#i also designed an official john egbert shirt???? #and made john egbert illustrations for both the official act 6 tarot project and the official homestuck zine #like i do kinda feel my contributions to the greater john egbert visual culture are. non negligible. #also i worked on velma s1 and that job allowed me to make a lot of positive life changes i think im allowed to like it lmao #ask

say it with me everyone: Heart is not A Baby, Mind is not a Jackass, and Soul is not Crazy. (or alternatively Cool/Laid back 24/7)

They have layers like onions or however the quote goes idk

#This is not to anyone in particular btw I was just talking abt cccc w a Mutual ans had to visualize a specific part of the convo into art #Cccc #chonny jash #chonnys charming chaos compendium #This is so messy sorry lmaoooo like I said it was on the spot for a disc convo but thought it was fire enough the post tbh #kys joke #These characterizations are ok if it’s a silly or fluff interpretation/fic but if it’s a serious fic and they act like this I explode

Welkin expressions

#spoiled art #welkin the wolf #I saw art from 2021 and 2020 I did of her and got so angry by how bad it was LOL #Like I can not for the life of me portray my own sonic oc correctly? #I think it's because I can imagine how she acts and her demeanor and everything but trying to portray it visually is hard #She's supposed to be kinda #“Angelic” and “graceful” and calm #And her name and appearance are supposed to reflect that? Idk man #Crying on the floor #sonic fan character

[existencebringsonlypain]

hey can someone describe what imagining something is like? like imagining an image?

#i'm starting to really think i have aphantasia because i. i dont see anything‚ at all #my brain kinda acts like i do. but i dont see it #i can‚ uh. like. visualize a path. but it's not something i see‚ it's just my brain plotting out a curve and storing that knowledge #is it like. opaque?? do you actually see it or is it like‚ a filter you can turn off? #does it feel real? does it occupy space?? #im confused #do you automatically visualize something if you think of it or is it voluntary #are there concrete details about it if you aren't thinking about it? if you imagine a flower #would you know/see the petal count before you think about it? #....... #do i have aphantasia????? #existenceunrelateds

A gimmick which I think would be interesting in a visual novel: small variation in the visual designs of the sprites and backgrounds based on who's narrating a given scene. Not large variations, mostly—buildings are going to have generally the same architecture, people are going to have generally the same outfits, et cetera—but lots of details shifting around on the margins, showing the texture of the characters' thought-processes through the visual design of the world as they see it, rather than only through the text of their narration.

So, for example, one could have one viewpoint character be unusually faceblind, and portray this by having all the sprites have Same-Face Syndrome when viewed from their perspective, even as they hold onto more variation face-wise in everyone else's perspectives. One could have one viewpoint character who's unusually conscious of the fine details of their physical environment, and portray this by drawing the environment-art with much more fiddly detail when in their perspective, showing wood-grain and electrical wiring and other such things which are abstracted away in others' perspectives of the same areas. Et cetera.

#Archive #Visual Novels #Premises #there's also some room once the pattern has been established on the small scale to go more intense about it #one character just sort of never seeing the building that's the big landmark for everyone else or something #but making that too prominent will end up leaving you with something less like this-idea-in-its-basic-form and more like saya no uta #and for all that i in fact liked says no uta itself it's definitely not particularly about the-thing-this-idea-in-its-basic-form-is-about #so there's a bit of a balancing act there #(the thing this idea is about being largely 'people vary widely in which bits of the world they tend to notice / pay attention to') #(in a mundane way as opposed to just a magical-perception-filtering way)

Joel meeting Ellie: *slams her into a wall & threatens to shoot her*

Joel five minutes later: *kills a man w/ his bare hands for threatening to shoot her*

#the military guy: *points a gun at ellie* #joel: HEY >:/ ONLY I CAN DO THAT #this show's gonna be fun i can tell #cant wait for them to be such a borderline unhealthy co-dependent father-daughter duo <3 #theyre already getting there #im sooooo not normal about them already and they only interacted for like. ten minutes so far #the show is so good and everyone's acting is on point #the last of us #my only issue is that THEY TOOK AWAY THE FUCKING SPORES. #THE THING THAT MADE THE LAST OF US UNIQUE FROM OTHER ZOMBIE APOCALYPSES #ohhh noooo they have tendrils in their mouths oh so scaryyyy #WHERE THE FUCK #ARE MY SPORES???? #what's gonna be the big threat about the bloaters now huh? i guess there's no inherent threat of existing in heavily infected areas huh??? #i guess we dont get a scene of ellie breathing in spores and joel being Not Happy about it hmmm??? #'auogh oh nooo we dont want to occasionally obscure our actors facessss noooo' #COWARDS. THE LOT OF THEM. #it would have added to the show actually. it would have been sick as fuck. so unsettling. so immersive. #gonna die mad about it tbh #like sure the visuals are gonna be cool and the cordyceps concept still rips #but the infection spreading just by biting... thats so painfully normal. thats just another zombie show #its still an amazing adaptation and im obsessed but :/ cmon man #if there was One Thing to get right. the spores wouldve been it #PLUS IT WOULDVE LOOKED SO AWESOME.

Keyframes VN Update

Hear ye! I've come with updates for Keyframes! This time, I'm shooting over some previews for our CGs!

Currently, we have one artist who's breaking sweat getting these done for our players so be sure to thank @tsyshen for her efforts!

[ ◉ ¯]

2/7 CGs are already fully rendered, and haha you can probably already guess who these two are.

The rest of the CGs are a work in progress, but we can give you a bit of a hint as to what you can expect in the extended demo with them!

All these papers strewn about must mean you're studying. And jeez-- that monstrous burger sure looks intimidating. But it looks like you're hanging out with a large group of people in these events!

And believe it or not, the rest of the previews I've got to show you are from the same event-- the BBQ party you've played through in the Otome Jam Demo!

We've talked about this a little bit beforehand, but some of the CGs in the extended demo and the game moving forward can change depending on the choices you've made!

Regardless of these changes- there's quite the celebratory mood in each shot, don't you think?

[ ◉ ¯]

If you haven't heard already, the plan for the CGs in our VN stray a little from convention. In that, not all of them are going to be specially romantic or dramatic, or these full on screen images. Rather some of them are just photos reminiscent of something that you would even find in your own photo gallery.

I can't wait for everyone to see the full photos as well as the subtle changes amongst some of them! I hope it feels as authentic as taking silly pictures with your friends and may everyone make happy memories with our cast!

And that's it for this update! See you in the next one!

#keyframes vn #kf wip #amare game #visual novel #amare #indie game #I think it's funny that my tone changes between here and twitter whenever I make my updates #if it weren't for the char limit on twit #i would be posting like this but alas #i need to act like a dealer instead #anywhoooo #keyframes vn update

Von Kostryn in the 1993 adaptation of Balladyna is looking kinda….. interesting..

#was looking for which one I should sub (I won’t be translating on my own ill just be using the official English translation of the play #since all stage adaptations Ive seen are rather faithful) #and I’m temoted to do this 1993 one cuz it’s so well acted #but visually it’s so over the top I wonder if it won’t turn foreigners off lol

Thinking of a fantasy au teamup.... ❄️🔥

#milgram #yuno kashiki #fuuta kajiyama #fire and ice pairs woooooo #i gave up on the bg sorry 😅 #i hope they do something visually with coldness in yunos t3 mv... #im so so crazy about fuuta acting like a leader but really just hungering for purpose #whether its amane or yuno or haruka i just love picturing him dedicating himself to them without realizing thats what hes doing #loyal bodyguard who thinks hes the one in charge sorta deal #i was told that yuno looked like the ice princess from sharkboy and lavagirl and Listen. thats a compliment. to me. #i may end up reworking that post afte deep cover but i think kotokos section is general enough for now #i still wanna do something with that au but just havent had the inspiration yet 🤔 #thinkin of them ;---;

I think Viewing Monika as some Kind of evil Mastermind does her character a huge disservice for multiple reasons but also Just cause it ascribes her a Level of competence she simply does Not display

#like i just watched a video essay critizising ddlc #and they had a ton of complaints about the plot most of which boil down to greatly overestimating how powerful monika is #like no she is not in fact a god of her world who created the game she is just another character #forced to deal with the fact she was given self awareness #monika not having a route isn't her own fault for not simply writing one for herself #she actually tries to do that #in act two monica isn't keeping up the charade of this being a normal functional visual novel for shits and giggles #but because she's kinda trying her best to keep it together #and iirc she didn't stop with that cause she got fed up but cause she broke most of the rest of the game #and saying she goes from 'basically hitler' to contrite is just not fair to her #she was a teenager who got forced to deal with her reality being fake and then given one 'real' thing to cling to #and a power she didn't really know how to use properly that could change it #sorry that just kinda annoyed me #idk man #ddlc #doki doki literature club #monika ddlc

Obsessed with the difference between puppy-eyed Porsche facing down Kinn's gun in episode 10

and ride or die Porsche facing down Kinn's gun in episode 14.

I love that he doesn't put down his gun this time around, the self-confidence.

I love the obvious trust in Kinn and their relationship - the fact that his trigger finger is as straight as an arrow.

And I also love how this perfectly displays what the constant betrayals, the secrets and schemes, the lies and the violence, the mafia lifestyle as a whole have done to Porsche. I mean look at his face. This man has been through it and it shows.

Apo (and the whole team) did so so good in the portrayal of this (quite heartbreaking) transformation.

#thanks for coming to my ted talk #even though it's a very short one #haven't posted anything like this in a while #but I coincidentally saw these two screenshots next to each other in my gallery and was blown away #is war-hardened Porsche hot af though? yes. yes he is.
