#eternal poison

I finished Thage's tale some days ago so I drew her and her impeccable fit to celebrate

[catiuapavel]

My initial interest in Eternal Poison was based on the main cast's character design, but I've come to the surprising realization that the game called for a large ensemble of artists for the supporting characters' art (mercenaries + rescued guests you can speak to in Isapolis).

Some of these names are well-known, but there are artists going by nicknames which make them hard to track down. Still, I was interested into finding out whom they all are, so I did my best to try and identify them. Take everything regarding artists going by a nickname with a grain of salt.

Tomatika

She is the lead character designer, and she has illustrated the main group of each tale. Her artworks also have variants that make the characters more expressive during cutscenes. She also illustrated the game cover as well as the promotional artworks of the game.

SK

You can recruit and deploy 12 mercenaries in the game. SK did the art for all of them + the musicians playing in Isapolis, as well as a few guest characters. Despite all the art they've done, they're unfortunately only credited as SK.

Hidari

Illustrator for the Atelier series and for Fire Emblem: Shadows of Valentia, among others. He contributed a single guest art for the game.

NA2

It was a complicated search because they're only credited as "NA2" but I'm confident that NA2 is still their Pixiv username, and that they also go by NA2-A5. Other than this they did art for Chain Chronicle.

Shinichiro Otsuka

Character designer for Re:Zero.

Yuki Hayabusa

They've worked on Cardfight!!Vanguard and Wizardry: Labyrinth of Lost Souls.

Kinu Komada

They've also done book cover illustrations such as the Japanese edition of the Mistborn trilogy.

Shin Takekawa

He's an author who seems to now have a career drawing erotic yuri.

Hironori Takano

He's worked on several Flight-Plan games other than Eternal Poison such as Black/Matrix.

Takeshi Iizuka

He's also a regular at Flight-Plan and has worked on games like Summon Night and Sacred Blaze.

Enomoto

Enomoto is (allegedly) an artist who also goes by the nickname BND. The most art I could find was a single blog (http://enom.blog32.fc2.com/), and a handful of Doujinshi under her second nickname. I'm confident this is her because of the facial proportions, and especially because of how she draws eyelashes.

I actually looked for her everywhere because I liked the art she contributed to the game a lot.

HAMMER

They did the art for the guests pictures above. I would love to know what else they've worked on, but I couldn't find them.

V8

While his work has changed a great deal, I believe this is Nagai Yuya (artist for Grandblue Fantasy Versus, War of the Visions, Valkyrie Elisium).

I liked his work and knew he went by V8turbocharger on Twitter, so I had a little "what if..." moment reading this art credited under the name "V8". This might be a leap, but I still see a similarity in how he draws lips and noses (moreso in his older work).

Mioto Kurachi

Like Takeshi Iizuka, they're also part of other Flight-Plan games crews.

... and this is just for the human character design, since several more artists have worked on the Majin design (including Yasushi Nirasawa who is well-known for a lot of monster/creature illustrations as well as for his work in the Kamen Rider franchise), and several more have worked on all the background art for the stages you can see in-game.

This game is surprisingly stacked with talented artists including very well-known ones, and it's fortunate there is an artbook because almost none of the names are included in the credit rolls once you finish a route (they might however be listed in the final ending once I finish them all).

[bluizu]

he stumbled into a shiny scatterbug and there was a mass outbreak of psyduck which slightly increases your chances (still in the thousands)

so im on my second pokemon scarlet playtrough and playing a Ika right?

i would like to inform you that he is in the possession of a shiny vivillon and two shiny psyduck and if he knew how to smile he would be grinning thinking about your reaction if he told you

WHADDAHONK HOW DID HE GET SO MANY? full odds too orrr is he a lucky trade freak?

anyways that's so so cool... shiny psyduck is very pretty honestly well done. since you got two you can evolve one and keep the other as is so you got the whole family as shinies. awesome!

Here's a redo of the "last hopes of earthbread" fic.

Now it makes 50% more sense!

this is so fucking funny

From your answered ask on colorism:

"Again this is often done to showcase a class or cultural difference or mixed blood. Rich boys NEVER go out in the sun. Colorism is often associated with classism where to be darker skinned meant (GASP) manual labor (GASP) outside."

Are there series where the seme is poor and the uke is rich (and it works)?

series where the seme is poor & the uke is rich

Hum well "works" is a judgement call but, off the top of my head:

Love By Chance

Love Sea

(MAME likes to play with this particular dynamic)

Love is Like a Poison

Perfect Propose

Golden Blood

Ghost Host Ghost House

Last Twilight

Laws of Attraction

Moonlight Chicken

My Ride

Never Let Me Go

Only Boo

Boys Love

A Case Could Be Made

Can I Buy Your Love from a Vending Machine

Eternal Yesterday

Behind Cut

Wish You

Where Your Eyes Linger

Unknown

1000 Stars

Nation's Brother

Not poor but def class/status difference

Advance Bravely

My Esports Genius Brother

Kisseki Dear to Me

See Your Love

We Best Love

Some of these, esp Taiwan, may have not strong seme/uke.

I'm just spitballing here.

2024 art summary!

I had plenty illustrations to pick from at the beginning of the year, and then I had barely any choice starting with July. I had to deal with a few health issues, including a chronic wrist injury that has been incredibly incapacitating the last 6+ months. I'm frustrated I couldn't draw more. I started the year strongly, but now I feel constantly out of practice so I'm also frustrated with what little I manage to draw.

Despite all this I'm grateful for all the support I've been getting even when I shared very few pieces! Thank you for all the kind words through asks/comments/tags!! I hope I can draw and share a lot more next year. I keep doing exercises to rehabilitate my wrist, and I'm trying to find ways to work without being in pain :)

[catiuapavel]

Tomatika did most of the illustrations for Eternal Poison and her beautiful painterly style grants it a unique gothic charm. I fell in love with the artworks for the game which was my main reason for playing it. These are scans from the artbook I cleaned up slightly/colour corrected.

A nice little SRPG related trivia about Tomatika is that she contributed two incredible illustrations to the Tactics Ogre Lover's Voice Fanbook (which is how I discovered her work):

Eternal Poison released in 2008, and the Tactics Ogre Lover's Voice Fanbook was published in 2011, so they're both interesting testimonies of the artist's style at the time.
