After about a million drafts and over two years, this is finally done!

A couple things-- this animatic is very specific to the prologue, and I first started drafting it before In Stars and Time (the sequel/full game) was even announced, so there are some things that are noticeably different if you're coming from ISaT (the party's marching order, I didn't know what Sif's first death was at the time, Sif not knowing everyone's names...). This animatic is also suuuuuper Siffrin-centric. I love everyone else so much but this one's about the good ol' ~Time Loop Edginess~.

Maybe one day I'll actually make this into a proper video, but that day is not today. I just wanted to get this done before ISaT came out (and I've managed to do that! Yay me!!).

This was honestly such a delight to work on and I learned so much about digital art in the process (I finally found the "turn off anti-aliasing" button! Yay!). Please please please go check out @insertdisc5's games, they're so good!! I'm really looking forward to when In Stars and Time comes out!!

Here's a link to Sundial on YouTube.

More start again art because not enough content so I make more

@insertdisc5 I love your characters and game a lot

Siffrin and the researcher are really fun to draw! I wish my style made them look better lmao

Whoms't

#art #sasasap #sasasa #start again start again start again #Doodles I did while watching the interview video! #Random comic person!!! Hi!!! Who?? #Lots of triangles. Makes me think of the Researcher #But this was long before the game #So y'know #Who knows #Maybe nothing #The original art style is so round and squishy #I love it #Thanks anon for reminding me of this whomst comic person

The Fighter is an absolute bean (plus three random other quotes)

#art #sasasa #start again start again start again #vent #?? Kinda?? It wasn't my intention but I couldn't get the full quote right so I took artistic liberties #I love how done the Researcher is and how proud the Fighter is #The joke... loses some of its kick in a comic format because you can see that he clearly isn't clapping

[naswoop]

Siffrin: I just wanted to end the fights quicker--

Bonus:

#art #sasasa #start again start again start again #I just like the party dynamics #The Fighter just wants Siffrin to feel comfortable sharing and not pressured #The Kid doesn't get Sif and jumps onto any personal information #The Housemaiden is starting to get Sif but still doesn't quite know how to handle how private he is #But the Researcher gets it. #Siffrin is sus but they deserve their privacy

[naswoop]

Deja Vu--

#art #sasasa #start again start again start again #I have mastered the art of faking out and dodging sadnesses #As I was doing that Deja Vu started playing in my head #A different song might've been better for it #But Deja Vu works well with the game's theme #...If you go by their heights in the Her Hands scene then the Fighter and Researcher are a head taller than Sif and the Housemaiden #Tol

I love this scene so much and I've been meaning to draw it for ages

But it's also eleven panels long so I had to sacrifice the quality a bit

#art #sasasa #start again start again start again #This is one of the scenes that makes me love the Researcher so much #the five times line gave me chills #Also- this scene must be so concerning from the others' perspectives #Because Sif just. Keeps smiling. #They don't know how to react #edit: Oh yeah it took me several playthroughs to get this #You get it by only interacting with keys and crests #Like you're just trying to speedrun it #Ignore everything except what you need to progress

Nyooom

#sasasa #start again start again start again #art #I really like the playful teasing between the Researcher and Sif #The first time I played the game I actually made sure never to run because she asked me not to #But now #well #Also I know I keep drawing Sif's cloak too short but also #They need arms #I'm guessing that his cloak has a parting where the safety pins are? Maybe #blood #It's kinda hard to tell but yeah #Also digital! I'm not much of a digital artist but I do try sometimes
