#WINTERJAM 2024

[mysticmermaid108]

I don’t geek out over many things, but the WINTERJAM lineup? Nah I’m CONSPIRING that

They’re holding a challenge, and the winner gets two free jam nation passes, they just have to guess the lineup…

SO

Enjoy my ramble:

So WINTERJAM has created a formula for their shows: they need to check all the boxes for genres of artists

They need:

A huge artist to be the headliner

A rapper

A rock band

A worship artist

An EDM/Dance/hype music artist

And a more country/gospely kinda artist

So considering all of those things, here’s my lineup predictions based on THIS IMAGE they gave us:

So knowing this formula, and seeing very faint but still photos of the artist, here’s my predictions:

HEADLINER:

That’s obviously Crowder. Which kinda sucks, since everyone requested Skillet, but I love Crowder, though I wish they’d change it up once and a while

RAPPER:

The big hair? Obviously Lecrae. Plus, he’s on the rise with not only winning a Dove Award recently, but also staring in the upcoming movie “Journey To Bethlehem”

EDM/DANCE/HYPE ARTIST:

From the looks of the third image, I’m able to tell that it’s more than one or two people, it’s a group. So this is a band. Two of the biggest hype band groups are Elevation and Hillsong Young and Free, but after looking at two of their cover photos back to back and comparing it to the blurred out image, I believe it’s Hillsong Young and Free. They’re a great pick for this type of festival.

WORSHIP ARTIST:

This is the fourth image, and from what I can make out, it looks like one artist, and a girl one. So who’s a popular worship artist who’s a girl and would do super well at an event like this? Katy Nichole. Just won a dove award, just performed on the dove awards, has several radio hits on Christian Radio, she’s on the radar.

ROCK BAND:

Now, even though I hoped they would change it up, this looks like it’s gonna be Red. They just released a new album last month, and their popularity is growing a lot. Plus, Red is always WJs go to rock band when Skillet can’t attend or Disciple is off the radar (which, they should NEVER be off the radar because they are INCREDIBLE, but whatever)

COUNTRY/GOSPEL ARTIST

Ok, even though they don’t necessarily fall into this catagory, but they kinda do, here’s my prediction.

The blurred out image looks like 3 people, and this band was requested quite a bit…

It’s Cain!

PRE JAM:

Ok, now this is where things get hard. The pre jam usually brings under the radar, obscure, new artists to get their names out there. Here’s my predictions solely based on the images:

First image is Social Club Misfits, since it looks like a duo.

Second image, I have no idea, but I know it’s one dude.

Third image looks like a band, and I know an awesome band (that I really hope comes) that not only is still pretty little known but is ever so slightly becoming known, follows ALL of Winterjams socials, and even commented on the EXACT LINEUP GUESS POST with a fire emoji: that band is called Ignescent!

Don’t believe me? Here’s my proof:

Anyway rant over wooooo

✨Weekly Progress #46-50✨

I can't keep putting this off else it'll be 2024 before I write my updates. 😓

Sketched 14.5 SYVNH CGs

Revised BWOBK script (2nd draft)

Lined 4 SYVNH BGs

Eek, when you consolidate it like that, it really seems like I didn't do much, huh... B-But, allow me to present my case! And show some proof too!!

The .5 CG comes from me realizing I can cut a corner and just use a sprite for + new BG for storytelling purpose.

Wait, I said 14.5 CGs! There's only 7.5 here, where's the others?

This time, I think I zoomed in enough that you can't tell much of what's going on.

...Huh? There should be a total of 14.5 CGs, I think there's only 13.5 here...?

...

Well, future pumpkin will deal with that in about a month when programming starts!!

And here's four... Okay, since I don't know what happened to that last CG, have a bonus preview of the other 3 BGs I lined this week...! Totally not due to me opening and setting everything up then feeling sad I'd have to redo it to only show four. I've also started using the help of CSP models for some items in BGs. It's been a real life saver.

And for folks who played my other games, perhaps you recognize the figurines in this BG? :)

Additional to that, I've been alternating to also work on writing for our WinterJam VN project. I don't really know how to properly show that off so here's the script's outline + wordcount...?

I'm pretty excited to help put together and bring what I've written to life!! I mean, look at all the pretty art @akuakourin has made already!!

(I hope tumblr doesn't eat those twitter posts links...)

Alright, that's it for now! I'll work hard in the remaining two... (uh, 1.5) weeks of 2023 so I can bring some great stories for everyone to enjoy in 2024!
