#The ears are going to be tricky idk how I'm going to make them kinda trail off like that in meatspace

[solradguy]

I'm going to make a partial fursuit of my beast as my next big project. It's not actually yellow, I don't know why I make it yellow so often

[pebblemae]

there is something to be said for candle run burnout for sure, like it now takes so many candles to get things that you want, as well as the pricing for paid items of course. The entire thing just makes me wonder if sky: cotl should follow in the footsteps of animal crossing: pocket camp and just make a paid game with no in-app purchases. I think the team are trying to tackle the CR burnout tho with different mechanics such as revamping daily quests (personally i don't like the revamp as it is now, but it's clearly in its early stages!). There's just...a lot going on and it would be better in my opinion if there was no IAP at all, especially because I've seen players be weird in the past about it, like trying to justify paid items by talking about veteran status (idk how veteran status correlates with being able to pay for IAP). Overall I think there needs to be a revamp of sky as a whole.

Again, this got long. I have thoughts.

Yeah, IAP is a really tricky topic. On one hand, it's kinda how free games make money, so I personally get not cutting it out completely. On the other, it really seems like ALL the good cosmetics are IAP.

I mean, in Days of Sunlight, there are 7 IGC items (50 Tickets, 384C, and 30 H). and 11 IAP items ($200+ USD). What's worse is most people can't even afford all the IGC items so you end up getting 3-5 items out of the total 18. For a game that's a lot about cosmetic collection, that sucks for the average player!

I'm not personally bothered but the 20+ ticket values. If you're more or less collecting, you can get them fairly easily. You can miss almost half the days and still get the two items. (84 tickets over 14 days. 50 tickets for the two cosmetics. you can miss 5, almost 6 days and still have enough) I have more to say on Ticket Cosmetics, but I'll save that for later.

I wouldn't be as bothered by this insane IAP to IGC item split if they were affordable and if IGC items as a whole stood up to the design and demand of the IAP. Apparently, the earrings were GOING to be IGC but were last minute switched with the floaty. There are SO few earrings, so making them IAP really sucks. It feels like the umbrella problem now. (of the 7 umbrellas, only 2 are IGC as TS)

I would love to see the IAP disappear altogether too, but that's just not realistic. From a financial standpoint for the company, as well as just in general. People hate them, but people still buy them. If anything I could maybe see a price reduction in IAP but with that comes the fact that now those who paid the higher price were "scammed" and that could create legal problems.

I have no idea what TGC could do, but for starters, I'd ask to lower IGC item prices and make fewer IAP items. Whether that will happen or not, I'm not optimistic, unfortunately.

Compilation of misc Gemini sketches/drawings +general info dump

1st picture- General misc sketches. It also shows how the two 'ears' on Gemini's head are actually horns in disguise. I've shown his horns before, but he and Yona usually hide theirs. Although, they aren't ears, and Gemini does have normal ears, he can still move his fake 'ears' as if they were real. Yona is also revealed to be hiding two tiny horns under her hat. Unlike Gemini, the horns that she's hiding are goat horns.

2nd-This is the first sketch I did of Gemini (late 2023). I was originally going to have him wield guns (which i just traced lol), but decided against it. I do think Gemini would still be good at sharpshooting though.

3rd- Differences between Yona and Gemini and how I draw them. You can see Yona's goat horns.

4th- Mini Gemini

5th- Gemini at age 11, I drew little Gemini before in a previous comic

6th- Gemini age 7. Gemini would often injure himself and would carry around a spinner drum which would help him calm down

7th- Ploy and Duke. Duke has been growing out his hair in the past couple comics and it's the bane of my existence. There is a reason he is growing out his hair, but i hate drawing it every single time lol

8th- Gemini rendered like the original Miku drawing (not really but it's what I referenced when drawing it)

9th- Ploy's family. Lawan is her mom and Mali is her sister. I'm thinking of redesigning ploy to actually give her more melanin bc she looks out of place next to her family. The main reason everyone doesn't have a shaded skin is bc I was lazy and it saved time to never color them in.

10th- Mali. Since she hasn't appeared in the comics, i'll talk more about her. Mali is 20 and in college for fashion. Shes trans, and to Duke and Ploy, she's the coolest older sister ever. She kinda embodies that 'older brother core' aesthetic she's big into fps games, skateboarding, and monster energy drinks. She's very popular at college, but also is the kind of person to not take shit from anyone.

extras: I haven't figured out the story behind Gemini's snaggle tooth yet. I originally just drew it to make him look like a cat. I'm unsure if it'll be an actual fact he has a snaggle tooth and not just a style thing

Gemini was raised by his uncle Mika. I'm thinking about making a longer comic about Gemini's childhood, but idk if anyone would read it.

Yona and Gemini grew up separately. Yona is adopted; if you've seen the photo of the characters 'Kiki and Shawn' on my DA, Shawn is Yona's older brother.

Gemini is living with his 'auntie' Lulu

Lulu's real name is Kumahime, she is the god of bears (woah). Gemini had trouble saying her name so he calls her Lulu.

English nor Japanese is Gemini's first language.

Ms. Ashly (Gemini's teacher) may or may not be dating Lulu

Ms. Ashly is non-binary and was a deliquent back in their day

Birthdays: Gemini (6/03), Yona (6/03), Duke (1/09), Ploy (3/23), Jacky (11/30), Lulu (12/22), Ashly (10/09), Mali (5/05)

Height (subject to change depending on the day): cm ver: Gemini- 165cm, Yona- 160cm, Duke- 167cm, Ploy- 168cm, Jacky- 157cm, Lulu- 169cm, Ashly- 183cm, Mali- 177cm ft ver: Gemini- 5'4", Yona- 5'2", Duke- 5'4", Ploy- 5'5", Jacky-5'1", Lulu- 5'5", Ashly- 6', Mali- 5'8"

Everyone's backgrounds: Gemini and Yona are a little tricky since they're demons. But if I had to give them actual ethnicities, they would be half Indian and half Polish. Duke is half Japanese and half Canadian. Ploy is Thai Jacky is American (specifically from Missouri) Lulu is Japanese Ashly is American and Ukrainian Mali is Thai

So idk if this'll be of any help but here's a tutorial how I sketch from reference pic. I'm dumb but I lost the ref pic somewhere on Pinterest but you'll know... So here's how I do.

Like always I draw these lines first. It's not in the best quality but bear with me

Okay then I trace the outlines and lines of all points like ear and face and nose and eyebrows, yeah I draw eyebrows first

Ayo then I align them and draw the nose and then the eyes and other stuff

Drawing lips are kinda tricky they're aligned to the middle of the eyes and it's not the best lips I've drawn but hope it helps

So we've got a draft and then you erase the lines and fix whatever you feel like to make your art more similar to the reference pic and don't overdo or erase it more

Here you go. It's okay if you can't exactly draw simillar, it's much more better when you draw in your own style, this is for realistic art. Maybe you find your style somehow. It may not be the best but keep it up !!!

I use this on all of my art and it actually helped me so you can use it anywhere

Hope this will help. And you can find lots of ref pics on Pinterest, I love that app.
