The art style of Cloud Castle is absolute ass bro why are their eyes so big

Idk man it just looks.... off

I wish they brought back the og art style like Blue Scarab Hunt because that was gorgeous

Well if you’re referring to the book's artstyle as a whole, then calm down buddy the illustrations as a whole are pretty good all things considered (believe me some of the illustrations in the later books are waaaaayyyyy iffier)

But if you are referring to Danilo Barozzi’s illustrations in the book then uhhhhh… yeah I don’t blame you, I didn’t like the big anime irises either, she didn’t cook with this one,,,

The interesting thing is Barozzi also did pieces for Secret of the Snow and those looked fine (she did well enough that I have to squint to determine which ones were done by her). My guess is either she did a lot of the illustrations for the latter half of SotS and we just got used to it, or it’s because the artstyle of special editions 2 and 3 were more… experimental? Books 4 onwards developed a very specific… look for the artstyle that adhered very closely to the main book illustrations of Spanish Dance Mission onwards, thus the illustrators had to follow suit, resulting in whatever looks off to look especially off.

(Even with this set of pictures, I’m only about 70% sure these are Barozzi’s because of how alike yet different the styles are from each other in the book. The first one could be Barozzi’s, but it could also be Giuseppe Facciotto’s, since he also did illustrations for SotS and his stylization means he sometimes puts the eyes really close to each other in a way that’s weird but still makes sense somehow.) On the contrary, books 2 and 3 (and I would probably even include book 1 there) had a more experimental look to the illustrations, which seems to be based more on (and this is just a theory of mine) Giuseppe Facciotto’s iconic work for the covers of Mouseford Academy books 2-12, 14, 15 and 17 in the English books (he did waaayyy more covers for the Italian Mouseford books— he was basically the cover guy for the Mouseford books for a WHILE) as well as the books from Spanish Dance Mission to Lost Letters. If you’re wondering why those covers go as hard as they do, then now you know why.

(These aren’t all of Facciotto’s works for the covers we know in English but you can see that he popped off <3)

But yeah as you can see with special editions 2 and 3, the art direction seems to be heavily inspired by Facciotto’s artstyle.

However, when Barbara Pellizzari’s works became the aesthetic poster child of the books’ brand, that was reflected in the illustrations and how their aesthetic changed, as seen in the main books and how they look currently, special editions 4-9, and the Treasure Seekers trilogy.

This new profile thing of the girls? This was done by Pellizzari (coloring was done by Flavio Ferron), and thus it became the main reference for how the girls look in the book’s illustrations.

And it’s not just in the general direction to the artists for how to draw the Thea Sisters, but also in the direction given to the colorists. Alessandro Muscillo was the colorist for the special edition books since book 1 and the Treasure Seekers trilogy, and you can see that the direction for the style varied through books 1-3, like maybe direction was experimenting with the mood the illustrations were to convey, beginning with the cartoony and bright colors of book 1, easing into the more grounded and layered palettes of books 2 and 3

Then book 4 was when they transitioned to using digital art /j

I jest, but seriously book 4 was the debut of the coloring style we end up keeping for the rest of the special editions and for all of Treasure Seekers, which is very… bright :D

(I would show more picture examples but I manually took pictures of my physical copies for the Cloud Castle and SotS illustrations and gwuh I’m too lazy to grab my entire collection just to take pictures,,)

Bright as in like… the colors are very defined and saturated. I dunno how to describe it, but when you see it, you get what I mean. It’s very bright and pretty and colorful and it stands out. There are still variations that happen on occasion (Star Fairies in particular uses a good dose of airbrush for the lighting and shadow effects, and Crystal Fairies looks like someone had a bit of fun using sparkle brushes), but other than that, it’s very bright. I don’t hate it, but I do acknowledge that yeah, if I was introduced to the series when it had fully transitioned to the new style, I never would’ve gotten into the series in the first place, because the older books had something that didn’t make it feel specifically catered to girls. The colors were bright, but not too bright. Colorful, but unified. They weren’t that complicated, and they didn’t have to be because the colorists (plural, there were at least 3 per book once upon a time) were popping the hell off with the colors they were given. But y’know, the newer books’ consistent style did give me a good spot to practice drawing mouse furries so I’m not complaining too much about the newer style, haha.

(Tiny baby E’s (it’s literally from 2020 what’re you on about mate) her first mouse Violet drawing using Barbara Pellizzari’s artstyle in Treasure Seekers 1 as an anatomy guide!!)

With that said tho, yeah I miss the old books -m- dunno if it’d fit the aesthetic of the special editions but m a n we could’ve had it and it probably would’ve looked cool

Also the illustrations go way harder in the older books, like Prince's Emerald? I've talked about Prince's Emerald and how it goes hard before, and I still stand by it and say that it does in fact still go hard

Maybe it won't fit the uh splash of color they gave the hardcovers, but imagine they grabbed Giulia Basile's coloring work for the graphic novels and used that as sort've a basis for the coloring style of the hardcovers. Not exactly the same-- would probably still add a touch of whimsical watercolor and/or paint to the very cel-shaded style, but we could've had something pretty dope -m-

Anyway that's my ramble simultaneously defending the hardcovers' artstyle and reminiscing on what could've been haha

#geronimo stilton #thea stilton #thea sisters #questions with e #rambles #the style of the older books is gorgeous but the main thing I'm wondering is can it pull off fantastical whimsy #that's the main thing i dunno if it can do (i would love to be proven wrong tho) #the style is so grounded that i'm wondering if it can pull off what the hardcovers needed it to do #which is convey the otherworldly fantastical thrill of exploring the fantasy worlds (which uh the newer books were able to do but #my main gripe is that fantasy and reality are near indistinguishable in vibes coloring-wise #sure there are sparkles and stuff is more saturated but the girls' dorm in book 4 still has the same-ish feel of the land of clouds #i dunno what it is. the bright colors just feel mundane somehow and don't take a shift when returning to reality) #looked at my books again and i think it might be the fact that the later books have no grounding color? #compare book 3 to book 5 and you'll see it the most distinctly methinks #the newer coloring style doesn't have a color that grounds the illustrations' palettes and thus everything's always bright 100% of the time #the girls' colors are always at their most saturated #like they're always under broad daylight in terms of lighting #it's not eyebleeding or anything but they don't look affected by the lighting in the setting they're currently in #and the result is it looks.... meh? #we get so used to the bright colors that they end up looking meh somehow #i'm not an art expert by any means this is just my observations as someone with a little too much brainrot

cloud main quest: wow! after a full day at this wacky amusement park full of dance-offs, low poly fighting sims, and silly spooky haunted hotel, i’m ready to take a quick nap so i can enjoy a nice evening off in the funnest place on the planet and maybe even go on a little date with someone special

oh I love how Baby Cosette's song from the french musical is faithful to the Brick moment where she longs for the doll in the shop window!

The song is called 'La poupée dans la vitrine'. Here are the lyrics:

And here's my own quick and literal translation:

It's a doll in the window

Who's looking at me and growing bored

I think she's looking for a mother

And I'd like her to be my daughter.

In a house full of toys

Where little girls my age

Sew clothing for their dolls

And never do the cleaning.

I will dress her up in lace,

She'll have skirts of silk.

I would like my daughter to be the most beautiful

And for her to be proud

For her to be very proud of me.

It's a doll in the window

I'm looking at her and she's calling me

If only I knew how to write

I would ask Father Christmas for her.

#she just wants something to love 😭 #castle on a cloud is about daydreaming an escape and wishing to feel safe which obviously is still extremely valid #but in the book cosette wants something to cling to so bad. she finds like a spare rag or something and pretends its a doll #bc she wants one so bad #and there's this stunning doll in the store window that she's just enraptured by #and i love that this song captures that #i think it says a lot about her that this little girl who is so mistreated and unloved not only wishes she could be loved #but she also desperately wants TO love #and the lyrics where she wishes the doll could be proud of her. i just. #💔 #cosette #les mis #les mis musical #les mis adaptations #les miserables #les misérables #the brick #analysis #les mis français #sylvie's own nonsense

jing yuan working with blade and kafka to unlock dan hengs memories and his true form.... dan heng stressing that hes not his previous incarnation, that hes a different person.... jing yuan telling him that the only way he can just forget about the past and the crime he committed as dan feng is by helping him right now.... them working together... jing yuan saying they still work well together.... dan heng seeming uncomfortable by it......

#girl im not okay #there is so much history. he is a different person. #but he looks the same. #how do u move on. #especially jing yuan. he seems to be the only one out of the quintet who stayed on xianzhou #he stayed witht he cloud knights. he became the general. #blade is actively hunting down his past. dan heng is trying to outrun his past bc he wants to look toward the future #jing yuan...... seems stagnant in comparison #and what about the other two?? jingliu and baiheng?? #baiheng seems to have joined the nameless at some point. jingliu was exiled. goddddd #i feel like sitting at the bottom of the ocean. just. sit on the ocean bed. just sit there.

The tat would’ve looked great without the rising sun design in the background. People really need to start doing research on things before they get them marked onto their bodies for life… but even the woman in the qrt had mentioned that a client had reached out to her inquiring about getting the symbol tattooed onto her and that she didn’t really care about the history behind it. She just wanted it anyway (probably for aesthetics.)

#the girl could’ve asked for some clouds or something to fill up the space in the background #maybe trees? idk #anything but this #rambling #I think you ought to have enough integrity as an artist to be able to turn people #away #you might not be able to change their minds but oh well that’s not your job #would you feel comfortable tattooing a #swastika or a confederate flag on someone for the money??? #I get that the original meaning behind the swastika #wasn’t anything bad but you can usually tell why a certain kind of person walking into your shop would want that on their bodies too if #I’m being real 🗿 like

I'm up to Corel Prison part of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth which means I've lost Barret from my party temporarily (and if you have played through you will probably know what has triggered these thoughts)

But oh boy am I becoming more painfully aware by the moment that the rest of the party currently is three (petite) girls, a (constantly-confused looking) twink, and two cats.

Barret please hurry up and come back! Also Cid please show up soon! And Vincent! We need the non Easy Target looking party members.

#Final Fantasy #Final Fantasy VII #FFVII #Final Fantasy VII Rebirth #Ramblings of the goddess #Like I had a moment in Corel proper #where the camera panned to the party minus Barret #where I think forced perspetive had Cloud shorter than the girls #that made me start to realise #but Corel Prison cemented it #Maybe if people stopped calling Cloud Pretty Boy #it would help me not feel this way so much #aerith gainsborough #tifa lockhart #yuffie kisaragi #Cloud Strife

Lately I've been thinking about how tik tok has some odd views on friendship. Lots of people complain about not wanting to burden themselves with anyone else's problems and whatnot (in relation to friends sharing their issues, and asking for help and/or support) and like I get it to an extent sure, but it feels so individualistic, egotistical, self centered even.

To me it's like wanting all the fun of having a friend but without the responsibility of caring for them and their well being in any way other than superficially. Like, the moment someone wants to get real for a minute, needs help and is not all fun and games anymore they're suddenly being disrespectful, they're not caring for your peace and are instantly a bad friend like ?????????????

#and I'm ofc aware most ppls don't think this way and that a lot of this discourse comes from a place of hurt and projection yes #but it doesn't make it any less jarring to me #saw a girl get mad at her friend bc friend was talking about dealing with body image issues #girl said friend was low key shading her and basically saying girl should feel bad and inadequate #??????????????? #the mental gimnastics my guy #im having an old man yells at cloud moment i feel like lol #non sims #dl #ramble
