Two-for-one post since i missed the first dsy of @layton-npc-appreciation-week! (Only sketches bc I didn't have the energy for digital art)

Day one was Curious Village or Diabolical Box, so I did Sophia from Diabolical Box!

And Day 2 was Unwound Future or VS Phoenix Wright, so I drew my favorite little guy with approx. 20 seconds of screen time - Carmine Accidenti!

[glassheart520]

Diabolical box is one of my favs from the series because I absolutely love Folsense and of course this cute couple 🕺💃

Part 2 (here’s part 1) of my Spooktober Drawings! This time with Anthony Herzen.

[fantasy-drawings-ra]

Here are some miscellaneous sketches I drew and took a photo of the same time as the animatic concept arts. But took me a while to post because of writing the image descriptions. I hope you like them!

Image Descriptions:

Image 1: Is of Desmond Sycamore from the Professor Layton Series. It is a side profile styled shot from head to shoulders. He is looking to our left with a surprised expression. He has his red rectagular glasses on and is wearing his signature double breasted waist coat, tie and white button-up shirt.

Image 2: Is also of Desmond, but in a 3/4's angle facing to our right slightly downturned. It is also head to shoulders since it's easier to draw and is good for simple expression practices. He has a bit of a confused pout on his face. He's wearing his rectangular glasses but a dark button-up shirt.

Image 3: Is of Desmond as Howl. As a sort of fun Howl's moving castle au. It depicts him in the scene after he first returns in his semi-bird form. Its a 3/4's shot with his head up as he reclines in his chair. He has a slight discomforted expression and has feathers in his hair and from his face. He is turned to our right and has a small window in the background about the same size of his head to the right of his face.

Image 4: Is of Meier Link and Charlotte from Vampire Hunter D Bloodlust (the movie). It has Meier and Charlotte facing eachother. Head to shoulders (for Meier more of a head to lower bicep due to his height), side profile. Meier is facing her to our right while she faces him turned to the left. Both looking into eachothers eyes with a fond, soft expression.

Image 5: Is of D from Vampire Hunter D. He is drawn in a 3/4’s angle looking to our left. From a head to shoulders shot. He has a neutral if not discontented expression. In his big brimmed hat and armour.

Image 6: Is of Lü Shang from Dislyte. He is also in a 3/4’s shot turned to our left and is drawn from head to shoulders. He is smiling warmly and kindly and giving the viewer a wave with his right hand.

Image 7: Is of Anton Herzen from Professor Layton. It is based on his introduction in the game. He is drawn in a 3/4's angle, head to shoulders shot. With a light smirk looking to the viewer. He is turned to our left and has the moon looming behind him.

Image 8: Is of Anton and Sophie from Professor Layton. You can tell I was in a bit of a Pandora's/Diabolical box kick since its October. But in this shot it was based on the scene Anton and Sophie were dancing. They are looking into eachothers eyes with warm smiles in a side profile. And is from head to waist. Sophie is on our left and Anton is on the right. Her hand rests on his shoulder while Anton has his on her side.

Image 9: And final, Hayden from Fields of Mistria. He is drawn from head to lower hip and is based on his game sprite. He like the other sprite redraws are in a 3/4 and is facing to our right. He has his usual welcoming smile and is giving the viewer a slight wave with his left hand and the other is tucked a bit under his belt hook.

End of Description.

Bonus little facts:

I drew some characters from The Vampire Hunter D movie because I'm planning to rewatch it again for Halloween this year. The style is just really pretty and unique. And has become sort of a tradition in these past three years.

I got a while back Lü Shang in Dislyte since i casually play it and really was interested in his story and quest in the game. Just a really nice character. I only got him after saving enough of those crystals when you get repeats or 5 stars.

I might try to edit an edit of Pandora's/Diabolical Box for Halloween, after rewatching the cutscenes. I also might draw more sketches but I can't make any promises. Little extra fact this is one of the three Professor Layton games (Curious Village, Pandora's/Diabolic Box and Last Spectre/Spectre's call.)

End of Post.

[alto-tenure]

decided to make the separate post but it is incredibly important to the story of diabolical/pandora's box that anton and sophia are not married and it minimizes the impact of some of the narrative elements if they are.

A major component of Anton and Sophia's romance is that they are swept up in the whirlwind of young love: they probably would have married given more time, considering it was expected of both of them, but they jump ahead.

If we consider the ~1960s time-frame defined as the vague inspiration for the games as the canon time-frame, then their romance took place in the 1910s. Premarital sex would still be a taboo, especially among the upper classes: if Sophia's pregnancy was shared publicly, they probably would have been married ASAP to lighten the scandal. And that wouldn't have allowed Sophia to leave at all: she would be tied to Folsense as well, unable to get away from the hallucinogens.

It is also exceptional that as an unmarried pregnant woman in [historical era unknown but definitely historical], Sophia founded a village. She built Dropstone herself, with limited support and probably a great many people who believed she was foolish or even a bad person for getting pregnant without a spouse. It took a lot of courage for Sophia to leave, and even more so to remain unwed afterwards -- she remains a single mother in spite of it all.

The love between them is still there. Even though it seems as though Sophia got over it, in the new life she built for herself, she never forgot Anton.

Anton and Sophia.,. I think about you everyday

PL Character Name Meanings

(I wanted to compile these since I’m interested in name meanings and how they apply to the characters, and I thought others might find it useful as well. I’m no expert on names or languages myself; these are all found through research.)

Hershel—“deer” (Hebrew, German, and Yiddish origin)

Luke—“light, bright, light-bearing” (Greek origin)

Flora—“flower” (Latin and Scottish origin)

Emmy—originated as a nickname for various Em-names, it’s been traced to the meanings “work”, “rival”, and “whole/complete”. (English and German origin)

Anton—“priceless, praiseworthy” (Latin origin)

Sophia—“wisdom” (Greek origin)

Katia—“pure” (Slavic and Russian origin)

Claire—“clear, bright” (French origin)

Clive—“cliff, steep slope, lives near high cliffs” (English origin)

(I’ll likely make a part two so this doesn’t get too long.)

[101flavoursofweird]

I’m curious about which other characters with a ‘mysterious illness’ could have been cured by the Golden Garden. As Loosha’s wounds couldn’t be healed, I don’t think injuries could be healed, unfortunately. Sorry Des’ family

Personally, I think one reason why was Descole was so determined to find the Golden Garden was so that he could cure Melina’s illness… and if he happened to get two Azran sites out of it, win-win for him.

Would you believe I almost forgot to include RACHEL BRONEV…? Actually, that’s not too unbelievable since Level 5 almost forgot her too.

This one goes out to @ninadove

——

RABBIT MIRACULOUS HOLDER CLAIRE! (I wanted her to be a mix of mad max, steampunk and a little bit of modern)

——-

So to me, Claire disappears no one knows why she’s gone or where they just know she’s gone and it doesn’t seem like she’s coming back

Does Hershel turn to the butterfly in this scenario I’m not entirely sure

I just think with her running away it’s similar to cannon in which getting the miraculous is her punishment for messing with time and now she can only interfere if someone is doing the same as she was

Hence why she bonds with Clive

there’s a conversation they have where it’s Clive asking her why she’s leaving if it hurts her so much and Claire replies with “it’s what must be done, my own personal hell loop” or something idk and it’s just the two of them bonding over what they lost

——

Bonus - Butterfly! Sophia (Titania) and Pig! Flora
