It has taken me far too long to colour and clean up this animation buuuuut it's done!! (for now)🧩
Trying to fit this around work and other projects was a nightmare but I will have more free time after Christmas to start animating more Layton stuff!! Plus add some needed backgrounds to this project and finish off the rest of the song ( I have it sketched out and roughed)
This is the actual reason why NPCs care so much about getting their puzzles solved, and nothing you will say or do will change my mind. When they say that a puzzle has been keeping them up at night, this is what they mean. After all, why else do the puzzle guardians keep saying things which imply that (at least some) puzzles are sentient?
I had initially intended to keep this comic canon compliant, and thus take an NPC whose puzzle dialogue actually says that a puzzle has been keeping them up at night for days or something... But I then thought of Rook and Bishop and went "you know what, screw it, this opportunity is just too funny to pass up."
This thing took forever and I have had so many regrets the moment I started actually coloring it. Past me did not account for the fact that I would have to draw Bishop twenty-four times in a row.
But also? Worth it. Hope you enjoy this shitpost because it too has been torturing me for a week lmao
Just a fun little Descole piece as a calm and taking it easy kind of drawing. Though after drawing him I wasn’t sure what to do with the background and came across some eternal diva scenes at night and thought to try that, I hope it looks alright!
(I’ve also been playing Princess Peach Showtime lately and finished all the Dashing Thief Peach levels which also helped with inspiring this vibe.)
There are 6 Professor Layton science books and I bought 3 of them back in 2016. I didn’t realize until now that the art in the books are pretty obscure so I’m gonna post it here.
Here’s the art from book 1. I only took pics of art of the Layton characters that was unique to the book and not stuff I remember seeing anywhere else.
If any of the art has already been seen anywhere else then I just forgot about it 😂
