hi tumblr. hands you a vega

more thoughts under a read more

they're for a fic i will post eventually (thought they do not show up for like 10 chapters and only meet the party after like 30) and they're my silly little goober of a human loop design. except they're kind of very obviously not human aside from the head. and even then they glow and emit sparkles wherever they go.

their expression is constantly ^w^ until it isn't because they forgot they have a visible mouth. they disappeared from existence and then their survival instinct kicked in and they wished themself back to life. they fell from the sky like a pmd protagonist

they're a walking sadness beacon and have been telling everyone they've met that they're a star that fell from the sky one day for no particular reason. no one where they landed knows who the saviours are because news is slow and they froze like a day into the king's march across vaugarde to dormont. when they first fell back to the earth they were threatened at scissors-point because they were a stranger who fell into someone's garden

they don't become a housemaiden but they do stay in a house for a while since they need to get their bearings. vega didn't have a name for a little while because they didn't want to be loop and couldn't be siffrin, so they just said that stars didn't have names up until they remembered the star vega and decided that's who they were now

gameplay-wise (because i always have gameplay thoughts):

vega is completely typeless and deals typeless damage. using craft they can change their type and do whatever type damage they want, which changes their basic attack until they use another type-changing craft

they probably still have the better healing skill (healy-bealy) they just call it something else. they also have make up the time which they also call something else

they have no qualms about using (just attack.) it's just typeless now. or whatever craft type they are when using it

(speaking of craft types, my dnd brain has been seeing paper as slashing, scissors as piercing, and rock as bludgeoning for a while so. putting that down)

while they start in the 50-somethings level-wise they get to 75 pretty quickly. how? well... sadness magnet

post-game party member that's pretty strong

they share the darkless high-heeled boots with my other human loop (from whumptober). the constellations in their hat are ursa major, lyra, and virgo. vega got the base dress from a friend and edited it while they had time. they also turned their cloak into a cape. the hat is from the universe. it's not even the starry hat, that's in siffrin's hands. it's just a universe-given free wishcraft hat

"Can you hear me?" the voice asked and then disappeared. The reason somehow became clear I reached out a hand in the summer warmth…

----------------------------------------

Happy Kagepro Day! Redrew that one scene from the Losttime Memory MV but with Loop & Siffrin! :D

[moons-among-distant-stars]

hehehehehehehehehehe glad you like it :D

this is the reaction i aspire to bring out in people and also how i feel about them

and YOU GET IT!!! YOU GET THEM!!! the intimacy of being two people who know each other much too well to be anything but lovers!!! like they’re stuck in this dance!!! it’s a fatal dance and they know how it will end but as it is … and it is… then they may as well dance, drawing closer and closer together, just two slow dancers.. last ones out

(also if you make art of them as a binary system i’ll blinding cry so please tag me)

this is how i see them

[bashzzey]

Colors jumpscare?! Colors jumpscare!!

pspspst what if colors came back to the world somehow, would Siff paint their hair with different paint colors? They would, I guess!! :3c I believe they would like blue one the most, but that's just my guess! :0c

[tac-bat]

isat server was curious what some inverted scenes (and loop) looked like, so I delivered. Really cool to see the entire mood change for these

SECRET SANTA ATTACK!! A beetle Loop for my gift victim @petrii-dish >:3c

I saw "insects" and "Loop" on their wishlist and neurons started firing. I'm always saying that I love when people creature-fy characters I like, but I've never done the creature-ing myself until now!

While going through Pep's blog for inspiration, I saw art of a woolly chafer beetle drawn by @/bowelfly. I'd never seen them before, and let me tell you they're the cutest bug I've ever seen and I was obsessed with them immediately. So round... so woolly...

As I was going down the woolly chafer appreciation rabbit hole, I started noticing traits I could incorporate into Loop's design. And thus; beetle Loop! :] (Although their antennae are more common cockchafer inspired. Their big antenna fans are so fancy!)

Lots of rambling and bonus art of a much more beetle-looking Loop under the cut, so be warned if you're squicked by bugs

The creatuuuure. Boop here was my first time trying to draw organic shapes with vanishing point guides and such. It went... okay...? No clue how people apply that to more complicated shapes like people though, heh.

Anyways, back to the humanoid Boops. The design elements I focused on were the antenna leaves looking like those shards of light you can see in the opening CG and some of Loop's portraits, the fluff and tibia spikes substituting for Loop's skin frizzles, wings with veins made up of constellations, and that very peculiar angular elytra shape. ;)

I had to stop myself from going ham and making the design super detailed, because I wanted it to look like something you could reasonably imagine in-game. I think I did alright in that regard! Their suspicious elytra ended up feeling fitting too, since only seeing them from the front in-game would make that foreshadowing more subtle. Also, while my decision to make them a beetle was 100% just "I really love that beetle I saw", I like the implication that the Universe was like, "Stars, you have a thick shell. Become a beetle." 😂

I struggled for a bit trying to place clock hands in the first drawing, but then I started to think that a handless clock is kinda fitting? Love when I can cover laziness with symbolism. :P

Time taken on designing and the first two drawings was 31 hours and 34 minutes (I forgot to tally them separately whoops), and beetle Boop took 8 hours and 44 minutes. It was supposed to be a doodle (because common cockchafers are sometimes called "doodlebugs" get it-) but I'm SO bad at doodling. Got lost in the perspective ruler sauce.

Check out @isat-secretsanta-2024 for more cool art, and have a happy holiday! ♥

When I first finished 2hats, my interpretation was that Loop really did join Siffrin to become one person again, and that it would simply take a while for it to sink in and for Siffrin to remember all the things that Loop remembers. There was only ever one coin. I felt very melancholic about the idea of it. It was special.

I experiment more with the idea of them coming back in Siffrin's timeline later nowadays, but I do still feel like my first take was my most genuine one.

HI. SO. UM. i wrote. a thing. yeag.

I had this one idea i really wanted to do but! i felt! like doing a comic wasn't going to do it justice, so i. wrote a short thing. for now.

i am! NOT a writer in the slightest. i'm a digital artist, i draw- i dont. write. so this might be. a little awkward GSJDGSJD BUT!! I SAT DOWN!! AND DID IT!!!! AND IM PROUD SO!! ITS GOING! HERE!!

i REALLY wanna see if i can write more for this but. the fact that this exists at all is driving me insane and my anxiety is through the roof so we'll see AHAHAH

ANYWAYS!!! HERE!!

and! here!! the visuals!! under the cut!!!

ALRIGHT THATS IT thats the post. YEAH.

HAPPY 1ST ANNIVERSARY TO IN STARS AND TIME!!!

To celebrate, here's a frankly MASSIVE collection of unfinished and/or unposted fanart from over the past year that I've made, starting from all the way back when i first played the game in December last year <3

A whole year in sketches! Maybe you can see how my style changed over time? Tysm if you looked at all that, it means a lot that you enjoyed the art I was too shy to upload on its own!

And thank you everyone for such a spectacular year!!! I've loved meeting you all and getting to reignite my creative spark! What an incredible game and fandom!

[tiredhams]

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Thanks ISAT for changing my life!

I wish y’all a nice 2025 :3

[cloud9v]

so a traveler, two of their alternate counterparts, and the embodiment of said traveler's self hatred walk into a clocktower

in which siffrin goes to the favor tree, and instead of getting two hats fight, they get four hats and shenanigans
