Hey! I finished up another little resource I've been slowly putting together.

I've put together a turnaround reference of every character in the game, with every alternate appearance, both full bodies and profile views.

The full body views include a hatless young Graham for scale. There is a bit of an issue regarding characters with armor- I'm not very savvy with blender admittedly, and all of the metal comes out really dark. It isn't too bad, save for Manny, who doesn't even have his green feather. I'd like to fix those once I can. Also, capes are omitted. I think that only applies to Graham and Whisper though.

I'll be finishing up doing the same for the animals at some point, and I'm planning on making a few references for certain character's weapons, or other interesting items.

Also- along with the profile views, I included some of Graham's head at every angle by 10 degrees, from head on, lower, and upper angles. Thought it would be helpful to see how his hat works from any direction. The images are huge, here's a gif of them all together.

Hope these will come of use! I've been working on it for a while.

#kings quest #king's quest #king’s quest #kq2015 #kq #the only metal object i successfully fiddled with was the crown. because it looked horrid if i didnt #also chester and hagatha have an extra angle in their profile views bc they are hunched over with long noses #so at a 45 degree angle it didnt have the view i wanted and i just threw in an extra #only them tho and only from the front not from behind #also theres only 4 goblin profiles and 8 different goblins in full body bc they have the same heads. 4 heads and 2 body types #ive been actively doing this for over a year just not constantly... its easy work but its a time sink #ive been WANTING to do it since 2017 ever since i could access the models in a modelling program #since then we've found more references from the artists but still lack all of them. like graham's >:( #im gonna take a break before getting to the animals and items. there are a few animals already done though #ps these are great refs for art but i wouldnt colorpick from these images due to how blender adds some shading to the models #just use them to pick colors from the color wheel or find the character's texture in the extracted textures and pick from that if you must #anyway thats all my commentary here. have fun go nuts i really hope you guys find this useful

24 Hours, Part One

No. 6 PROOF OF LIFE

 "I've got a pulse"

------------------------

Valanice barely noticed the throne room doors opening or the gnome who had entered until he was standing right in front of them. It took considerable effort to raise her head to look at him; whatever he had to say, she didn't care. She could never care about anything again.

"Your Majesties, fantastic news! The Princess is safe and on her way home right now!"

Valanice blinked at him. Rosella was… alive? Did she dare believe it? But what reason would he have to lie? She wanted so badly to believe he wasn't mistaken, that her daughter was truly only minutes away from returning home safe and well.

Before she could decide how to respond, he continued. "There's more… "the little gnome glanced back and forth between her and Graham, and she looked over at her husband.

The King looked highly unwell. His skin was gray-tinged, and he still sagged on his throne. Had he not heard, or did he not believe it?

"Go on," she prompted. Tears, dried up hours ago, started to prick her eyes again. Shining stars, please let this news be true.

"The dragon is dead. Killed by yer son."

Of all the things he could have said, none could have surprised her more. She stared at him, barely able to process his words. The dragon, dead? By… by their son? That wasn't possible. Whoever this man was, he would be another imposter trying to claim his way to the throne.

She looked over at her husband. He hadn't moved an inch and was still staring unseeingly into space. "Graham? Did you hear what he said?"

No response. Valanice shook his arm, and Graham turned his head to look at her blankly. He was sweating slightly. She was starting to think something was wrong, something more than just despair. She felt his face; it was cold and clammy to her touch, and he still wasn't responding to her.

She called for a guard and instructed him to fetch Ren. At that, Graham's eyes finally focused on her. "Was… was there something about the dragon?" He asked, his voice weak.

Now she was definitely concerned. "Yes, the dragon is dead, and Rosella is on her way back."

His eyes finally lit up. "She's all right. Oh, thank the stars, she's all right." His eyes widened further. "Saved by our son! Valanice, did I hear that right? Our son!"

She didn't have the heart to remind him that this wasn't the first time someone had claimed to be the Prince. She wanted to wait for Ren, at least.

As if the physician had heard her thought, Ren rushed through the throne room doors and headed straight for the King. As she watched him enter, she noticed the gnome still standing before them, waiting patiently for her attention.

"Is she… are they ok?"

"They seemed well enough, given the circumstances," he answered.

"Our deepest thanks for this news," she said, dismissing him, and turned her attention to her husband, who was trying to rise despite Ren's insistence that he stay seated.

"No need for all this fuss. Just a tad bit lightheaded," Graham said.

"Your majesty, I do think it would be best for you to stay seated. Until I've finished my examination, at least."

"Really, I'm fine! Now I would very much like to-"

He stopped as they all heard approaching footsteps and looked up to see Rosella rushing toward them.

"Rosella!" Graham cried, and finally managed to pull himself to his feet. As their daughter fell into his arms, Valanice felt the tears that had threatened earlier finally pouring down her face. Her daughter was all right, by some miracle. She enveloped them both in a hug of her own.

After finally pulling herself back, Rosella said, "Father, the dragon's dead. So you don't have to worry about it anymore. Are you all right?"

"I'm just glad you're here and safe. That both my children are here," he replied.

Valanice turned to the young man who had followed Rosella in. He had stopped well short of them, looking nervous and uncertain. Like Rosella, ash and dirt marred his face, and his clothes were torn in several places. Several locks of his black hair had pulled free to fall about his face. He was thin, too, to the point that he probably weighed less than Rosella, despite being taller.

Valanice ignored all this as she stepped before him and cupped his face with her hand. Behind the ash and the wary look in his eyes, she saw something that sent a thrill of hope rush through her: a face that looked rather like her husband's when they first met. Looking into his eyes, she knew. She didn't need a birthmark to confirm it; this was her son.

"Oh, Alexander…" she managed to say before she near fell into him in her rush to finally hug the boy she had longed to hold for almost eighteen years. The only reason they didn't end up falling to the floor was Rosella and Graham joining in.

She didn't let go until a flash of light had them craning their heads around to find the source - the magic mirror. The darkness that had clouded its surface was starting to fade. "The mirror!" She exclaimed in surprise. "It's working again!"

Beside her, she heard Alexander say something to himself, a name. Man-something? Was that who was behind his kidnapping, behind the mirror going dark nearly eighteen years ago?

"Alexander, Rosella, believe it or not, this old hat and I have been through a lot together. Now, it's time he had a new traveling companion," Graham said as he retrieved his feathered adventuring cap. 

He tossed it toward the twins, though which one would have caught it, she couldn't say as a sudden cry from her husband demanded her attention. Graham clutched his chest as he collapsed.

Ren, who had been watching all of this in astonished silence, beat her to his side. 

"Graham!" She cried, but he didn't respond, and she was beyond grateful she'd already sent for the physician. Ren immediately began to examine the stricken King, feeling for a pulse.

Looking toward the throne room entrance, she saw two guards already peering in. Honestly, she wouldn't have been surprised if they'd been watching since Rosella returned, and she didn't care one whit if they had. She motioned them forward.

"He's breathing," Ren said after a moment, relief evident in his voice. "But best to get him in bed, I think." 

Valanice looked to one of the guards, who nodded and ran off.

She took one of Graham's hands and held it to her lips, hoping against hope that he would be all right, but her heart fell as Ren continued.

"His heart… all the stress… I'm afraid there's little I can do other than administering painkillers and advising rest," he said.

A guard returned with a litter and helped transfer the King onto it.

As they wound their way up through the castle to their bedroom, Valanice felt her own heart would fail at any moment. She didn't think she could take more surprises; already, she wondered if this entire day was nothing more than a bizarre nightmare. Or was it a dream come true? How could one day hold such extremes of joy and despair?

Once Graham was transferred to the bed, Ren looked him over again before concluding, "He's stable for now, but I would like to consult the court wizard. I'll be back shortly."

"Of course, Ren. Thank you," Valanice replied, more out of habit than anything. 

Rosella pulled in a third chair from the first room, and Valanice sat by her husband's bedside with her two children as he slept on.

Playing through chapter 4 again (streaming kq2015 to a friend continued lol) and I've noticed something about Alexander's walk cycle: it's got this like weird little hitch to it. Like he's got a limp. And I love (and hate) the implications in that <3.

Of course, it could just be a mismade walk cycle. Or it could be the result of an old injury. :D

KQ Mini Writing Challenge... TWO!

Hello wonderful adventurers of the KQ fandom! Thanks to the ever magnificently talented @thewatercolours I’ve been tasked with inflict-- I mean, suggesting the next writing challenge for King’s Quest.

A friendly reminder what it is: Everyone writes a tiny scenelet/snippet based on a scene from the KQ2015 game. Simple, short and sweet... like Graham!

Last time, the scene was Burning the Knight Oil which you can read here for inspiration with how it’s done.

So for this particular challenge prompt: 

The scene is, drum rolls please, "Retrieving the Magic Mirror"! After solving so many conundrums and with the ferocious dragon eating at it’s dinner, Graham has finally recovered the last of the three missing treasures! Wonder what went on in that head of his? Scared, nervous, excited? That’s all on you to find out!

The scene in question is here, beginning around 13:56 (Graham lowered to the ground where the mirror is) and ending at 14:25 (Dragon just barely missing Graham) If you wish, you're more than welcome to continue the scene from there, but don’t feel obligated to do so.

As was mentioned before, the length of the scene is up to you, have it be short and sweet, an essay, longer then that... all up to you! No judgement here, just more wonderful delicious fics.

Deadline is Sunday, March 26, I'll put up a post for this challenge. Add your version of the scene in the reblog (or tag me to let me know, your call). This will make it easier to collect the scenes.

Have fun and always seek adventure!

gOD i luv musical easter eggs/storytelling/foreshadowing; if you listen carefully to the duel of wits fugue track from kq2015, i'm pretty sure it's basically made from the rearranged notes of manannan's leitmotif and if that's the case then *chef kiss 😫👌*

#*deep space noises* #if its not then they still managed to get the vibe #i feel like im p tond deaf and i definitely can't identify notes from hearing them #so i can't check #but i hope im right because that shit is sick as hell #thank u once again youtube user sideways for bringing stuff like this to my attention #watch his sweeney todd and westside story vids for some examples of rearranged themes

To-Do List

I was tagged for this by @motherofgriffins as well.

Do This: List all the things you’re currently working on in as much or as little detail as you’d like, then tag some friends to see what they’re working on. This can be writing, arts, gifsets, whatever.

1. My book. I don’t really talk much about this, for two reasons. One is that it’s really difficult to explain without going into a lot of detail and I never expect anyone to be that interested. The other is that I’ve had some very bad experiences in the past with sharing my original wip and having someone use it to torment me. That said, this book will in all likelihood be the most important thing I ever create.

2. All This Sh*t is Twice as Weird. This is the fic that @tk31085 requested as her Christmas present last year and it’s basically taken on a life of its own. It’s the story of Dragon Age: Inquisition, except that both her Inquisitor and mine are canon. They have their own character arcs, their own romances (not with each other), and their own personalities. Said personalities bear some resemblance to ours. It’s up to 33 chapters and I have no idea when it’s going to be over. Once it is, she wants a sequel.

3. Contractually Obligated Chaos. This is the Beetlejuice series, the one that literally makes me look at my brain and say “Why did you do this to me?” It has approximately 1 3/4 stories left to be written and if the muses would like to come back from vacation that’d be swell.

4. Chronology. This is the absolute final installment of the Elemental Chess series I wrote for Fullmetal Alchemist, which to this day remains the highest rated and most reviewed thing I’ve ever done. When I started the series, it was just supposed to be one story and I had no idea that before the end, some people would be calling it the definitive FMA fic and questioning my identity. It’s been really astonishing, to say the least. The muses for this final story seem to be off on vacation with the ghost muses from #3, so I sure hope they’re all having fun without me, wherever they are.

5. Peter’s video. This is not writing; this is singing. I can’t go into detail beyond that because it’s very hush-hush, but I think it’s pretty exciting.

6. KQ2015 walkthrough. Having finished the 2015 revamp of the King’s Quest series, I’ve been writing a walkthrough for the game. It’s been fun to see just how many puns I can cram into one document before my proofreader (@auroraborealia) tries to hurt me.

I honestly don’t know who’s already done this meme, so I’ll just tag anyone who wants to do it.

[jadeyarts]

a lot of things happened in kq2015, ... among those things, connor appearing was ... NOT one of them. but you know what? they never disproved my headcanon that connor is whisper and amaya’s kid and that all of mask of eternity was his self-insert fanfiction, so i win anyways

Art meme 8 and 11~

What's an old project idea you've lost interest in?

For anybody who was familiar with my era of being too shy to show my "cring King's Quest ocs" you may be familiar with my fae forest ocs. Establishing some backstory with the magical creatures of Daventry and why people who aren't human may be sorta seen as unwelcome. 

The idea was to turn it into a sort of pseudo kq2015 sequel to rotate around in my brain like a rotisserie chicken. I wanna do more Gwendolyn!! I care her

Sorta turned into a scrapped concept cuz it became too stressful to think about (because cringe) but idk I might return to it

Listen to anything while drawing? If so, what?

I'm actually thankful that it's not specifically asking about if I listen to music while drawing because it's not if it's inconvenient for me, my phone has Spotify right there… I just forget that it's an option.

I love watching long YouTube videos/catching up on my Watch Later while I draw. I love longplays, stream vods, multi-hour long video documentaries, but I have the shortest attention span so I have to be doing something else while the video is going. Therefore, art

#ask game #fae forest #tip jar

[applesofdaventry]

So you know how in KQ2015 you usually see little bunnies hopping around whenever there's forest? What if that's because Gwen, as a small human, (and especially when she got her really cool crochet rabbit friend) she wouldn't listen to stories that didn't have a bunny in it. Not even for dragons.

So Graham just, added in some bunnies.
