Working 6 days straight. First day off since last Sunday. I've missed Kelvin.

*Edit: I forgot his bloody ears, I fixed it now.

Here’s another old Kelvin I don’t believe I ever posted

💫 Fun Fact! 💫 Using your repair tool, you can gently and harmlessly nudge your Kelvin into a less challenging area if he gets stuck.

its been a rough few weeks! but things are getting better. I can only hope it'll continue to get better. finally had some time to play sotf, and they updated Kelvin's sleeping animations. he looks so cozy, so I had to draw him :]

Best update ever.

I want to post more of my yaps on here actually. I have art I promise. I’ll probably put it below here but for now I was thinking about sons of the forest and how they did the companion/follower thing SO well.

Games where you kinda have to fuck around on your own usually have the most annoying companions because—odds are—if you spend time around them long enough—they are going to say the same. damn. things.

fallout 4 was kind of a nightmare for me after I had a certain person following me for a while (except nick valentine he was an exception I felt too bad for him to be annoyed). and usually followers don’t really do anything for you besides carry your stuff and shoot people for you. It’s very basic. or maybe JUST MAYBE they’re essential for a quest. That also might be a me thing—maybe people don’t get tired of them. I definitely had least favorite people to bring along with me.

But kelvin and virginia are probably the best companions i’ve ever seen in a game. and they both have their own unique behaviors. and also reasons why neither of them really talk (I haven’t gotten far enough into the game to know why virginia doesn’t talk—but I assume it’s a normal reason that makes sense)

Virginia follows you at a distance, hangs around when she wants, but also goes out and does her own thing. when you go on an excursion she’s kinda in your general area but she’s not up your ass. and she brings you things when you’re in one place for a while (aloe 🙏🙏🙏)

And I love that you kinda have to win over her trust over a period of time. you could totally chase her off if you wanted so she’d never bother you but I don’t know anyone who would want to do that. In a place where literally nothing is welcoming it’s nice to see a friendly face—even if she’s killing rabbits and eating them whole in front of you. she’s so mythical to me.

and kelvin of course everyone likes. and he is VERY helpful in a game with so much grinding. you can make him do the boring tasks and he takes his own breaks inbetween. sometimes he just comes up to you for things to do when he’s been on one of his breaks for too long. and after he finishes something he goes “👍” I love it thank you Kelvin. He doesn’t stray too far from the area you’re in unlike virginia which I’m thankful for because I’m so afraid of him dying. That’s kinda my only issue—if you could even call it that. I will literally reload my save and lose hours of progress if one of them dies.

anyways here’s some sons of the forest (also ocs with @mostanimalshavearmsandlegs he has the cool hand guy)

Haven’t drawn the guy in a bit, here’s a Kelvin (plus fisheye)

Happy sotf 1.0 release!
