13: Secret Project
Hand drawn art has never been my forte, which is pretty clear with my decision to work in 3d. So the cute little drawings I used today were provided by Yukitty. No idea if I’ll make this exact kind of collaboration a regular feature But I’m definitely putting effort into keeping the visuals interesting around here. Even when we get into the deeper darker woods of the plot, Suppression is always gonna have a good bit of people standing around snarking at each other deciding what to do next.
Here’s the full versions of the drawings, since I scaled them down and edited them for comic purposes:
Drawing 1
Drawing 2
Toon Arrie with her mouth open, is an edit and doesn’t exist in a higher resolution… and looks pretty crappy when zoomed in, honestly. (Oh god, I just offhandedly gave chibi Arrie with yoshi’s island coloring the nomenclature of Wind Waker’s Link… and dammit I think I want that to stick)
Aw, I love the little drawings! :3 They look nice like that!
Also, I am endlessly amused that the delivery app in this world is called ‘Fetch Quest’.
I wouldn’t call Arrie a cheapskate. There are definitely lower lows of cheapskate.
I won’t lie. I have lots and lots of writings fleshing out a lot of things to the point where I considered illustrating side comics. Unfortunately, my schedule is very erratic. I would never be able to do it on any sort of consistent basis but I always keep small bits of dialogue tucked away for my amusement. Some of them have little illustrations that looks sort of like this.
Everyone has at least one normal look and a stylized render (AKA a chibi render or in a different style). The girls particularly have multiple outfits since I don’t like to think they’re so unfashionable that they wear the same thing all the time. Even characters like Victus, Solstice and Mara who might more rigidly keep to a certain kind of look have different outfits I like putting them in.
Arrie and Coin specifically have their stylizations based on Wind Waker’s art (though I deliberately made the art less Wind Waker here to not get dinged for just straight up copying). Arrie is the Wingy Princess that does the windy thing and Coin is the knight that also does the windy thing. I am actually kind of surprised that no one pointed that out as soon as Wind Waker was mentioned and I keep calling Arrie the Wingy Princess that does the windy thing.
“Fetch Quest” as a delivery company is awesome. 🙂
