It'd be great if we could use Vila as a bait to fish Windsong too (unfortunately it doesn't work for me T_T).
I created this R1999 gag comic while stuck at work, using a simple method. I'll use this technique for future gag comics to save time. My main challenge is having many ideas but little time to turn them into finished pieces (This applies to my original works too - some ideas remain unused for up to 10 years - -").
"She's a 'Fine Specimen'. Beautiful, delicate, eye-pleasing, but will never have a life of her own."
I just finished the R1999 patch 1.7 main story and its first 6-star character's anecdote. The writing is exceptional. It's clear why CN players praised this patch so much. The plot flows seamlessly from beginning to end without any dull moments. All four main characters are complex and well-developed, but Isolde and Hoffman stand out as favorites.
The patch is set in Vienna, 1914, a time of cultural and artistic peak just before World War I. Isolde, a noble opera singer, is one of the main characters whose mental illness has a significant plot point. The screenwriters handled her character and illness deftly, avoiding both underplaying and overdramatizing the condition.
Re1999 fanart for Valentine's Day (I was tempted to write 'Happy Verneider's Day' but OK). I drew an orange grove as a background but it didn't look good enough so I deleted it.
Bonus: Close-up to magnify Vertin's freckles and smiling Schneider, shows how happy she is when in the embrace of her lord.
Hoffman is one of my favorite characters from Patch 1.7 of R1999. I always got the impression she wasn't much of a sweets person which inspired me drawing this. Humor is subjective, so please forgive me if my jokes sometimes miss the mark (lol).
Ley Hunter and something she detected in the playground.
I recently finished the R1999 patch 1.8, which tells the story of Rayashki, an imagined town inspired by Piramiden, a Soviet mining town in Svalbard, Norway. Rayashki is depicted as an ideal communist city where people are united, responsible, and collectively fight against external threats. The story is straightforward but delivers a strong, resonant message.
All 3 protagonists are also well-designed. I created this fanart to test new techniques and discovered that complex procedures are more suitable for illustrations than colored comic strips. Next time, I’ll test complex techniques in an illustration.
Timekeeper' suitcase being a new branch of Laplace's Psyche Ward™.
After completing patch 1.7, I questioned why the Foundation placed a dangerous arcanist like Isolde on the protagonist's team instead of keeping her in Laplace's psyche ward. However, in patch 1.9, the protagonist will accept Kakania, Isolde's psychologist (in practice), into the team as well, so I guess that makes sense.
