Some story sketches!

Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad(?) Werehog

once again feeling impatient, so here's the full illustration that I'm gonna try giving a little bit of animation ✨ so I don't entirely forget how to use DragonBones and After Effects.

The art style for this was once again HEAVILY inspired by Chocobo Tales DS (2006). Which, seems to be one of the more obscure games that have a vicegrip on my brain lol. god i wish i still had a working ds so i can re-experience it properly

GHS spinoff/AU idea: Gregory's Twisted Tales

It's Gregory telling James various fairy tales as bedtime stories but of course since it's GHS they're all kinda fucked up. But like in a silly way. And the other characters in the hotel play the characters in the stories.

So far I only really have two ideas for specific stories: the Cactus Siblings as Hansel and Gretel (with Hell's Chef as the witch that wants to eat them) and Alice in Wonderland but with Alice in the Box (which is a no-brainer). But I still think it would be an interesting idea.

"toby fox moves to new social media platform, begins retelling of 'the honest woodcutter' starring weird dogs he's calling roast chicken" did not fall on my prediction list for october

I love how Strike also does that when someone asks about Belkia name as a human, even if it's in a "They don't want to share" way

NO SAME also like i really loved the phrasing used there specifically which gave the impression Belkia himself was in Strike’s ear complaining about it lol.

“He doesn’t want to say” is such a cute way to put it because yeah sometimes your characters do just be refusing to tell you things and you gotta shrug your shoulders and go “idk man they’re not answering”

For Belkia in particular, though, i think I’m going to interpret that as Bel himself loving the name Tsubaki gave him so much he absolutely refuses to even consider anything else. That’s his dead name now, and he’s gonna make sure it STAYS dead. Like… It’s so. Sweet, I guess? How much effort he puts into killing the person he was before he met Tsubaki. He changed the way he talks, the way he looks, the way he approaches the world, everything about him is different now, and I love that. I love him.

I also love that Tsubaki’s OWN manner of speech shifted so drastically only in the last decade, because he met Belkia, and Bel had such an influence on him Tsubaki can’t help but learn to be a little more cheerful, too, a little more silly, and a lot less sullen.

Team M mean so much to me. Also god bless Tsubaki giving Shamrock a new name bc what do you MEAN he’s named GREGOR I’m in tears. For context, Gregor is the name of Kafka’s novel “the metamorphosis,” whose original German title is “Die Verwandlung” and isn’t just a character motif for Shamrock, but also the name of his specialty attack (vol 11, chapter 62, “I Will Strike Them from You”). Its subchant is The Nighthawk Star, but that isn’t really relevant right now.

Come to think of it, I never really delved into how The Metamorphosis is used for Shamrock’s character, and I think the difference in messages between The Metamorphosis and The Nighthawk Star are interesting enough in their differences it would be worth comparing and contrasting them in the context of both each other and his character. Taking notes taking notes…

This got off track as usual but. Yeah. Names are… Really important in Servamp, and you can figure out a lot about the characters not just from their names, but how the narrative treats their names, how they treat the names of other characters, but also how they themselves interact with their names. It’s a really interesting method of character exploration imo

Like, for instance, majority of the Servamps and Eves have names that complement each other, right? They match in some shape or form. The two that always stood out to me were Envy pair and Pride pair, though, for the seeming lack of connection between them, but now we know WHY that is.

For Mikuni, it’s because the name he gave Jeje was never really meant as a sign of them being partners, but intended as a punishment towards him. A reminder of his sin. Of failing to protect Kiriko. Of being a monster who drives others to insanity. But it also served to throw his own faith back into his face since the origin of it, JJ, comes from “Jesu, Joy of man’s desiring” a lively chorale you’ll often hear around Christmas time which, in the original German, expresses a very close and familiar relationship with Jesus. It’s also the song that would play from the music box Kiriko gifted Mikuni for Christmas, and collecting them was her hobby. The name isn’t about Mikuni, but Kiriko.

For Hugh and Tetsu, it’s because Hugh was never the name Tetsu gave his Servamp, but a name belonging to someone else. The name Tetsu gives Hugh, however, appends the word for silver onto the end of it (Hugh the Dark Algernon III [Gin]) which serves to make them match. Silver and Iron. It’s sooo cute. Add Tetsu’s golden bleached hair and you’ve got the whole trifecta for the fable of The Honest Woodcutter (also unrelated but I thought it was funny)

I’ve just been drawing this today because I’m bored

I don’t think I can have free days anymore, because I end up feeling brain dead during them and can’t work on the schoolwork I know I need to do, and by the end of the day I feel guilty about wasting the day despite literally not being able to do anything actually productive

But anyways, this. I mentioned Fantasy Life earlier today, and I have a save file where put Ceres from Evoland 2 in Fantasy Life. I actually originally made this save file some months ago, but I never really played it, leaving it once I found the first save point I could

I only realize now this is like that time I put Descole into Stardew Valley. Hm

I still haven’t gotten much of anywhere in the game, I only just started the Carpenter story. And to be honest, I’m not sure I want to continue because I kind of just want my own character in Fantasy Life, but also I don’t know how to make that. So maybe I’ll just continue with Ceres and see where it goes, or I’ll just delete it

But out of boredom, I wanted to draw her from the game regardless

So the design here is what she looks like in the game, or as close as I made it. For various reasons, including the fact that I can’t add horns or non-human skin tones to my character, or have bicolor hair, I made some changes. Her hair probably also isn’t the most accurate hair I could have given her to her original, but I think it looks good on her

Also as you may notice, I don’t entirely know how I should draw her, whether I should be closer to the game or my style

I’m debating whether in my drawings I should stick to the Fantasy Life skin tone or give her the blue she canonically has. I flip flop on which I prefer

I only realized when I was looking at my other Evoland 2 art how wildly different this color palette is, and it’s probably significantly brighter. I mean for this I was eyeballing the colors from my 3DS’s screen, while I color pick from the Evoland 2 sprites, so maybe that’s a factor

Edit: I am now seeing it on a computer screen, and it looks even more different. Like that hair straight up just looks blue, I can't see any purple

But yeah, I really didn’t know what Life to give her when I made her, I just picked Carpenter because I haven’t done that one in a while. Maybe Alchemist would have been best, but I really don’t know. It doesn’t help that Ceres doesn’t have much of a personality I can make a decision based on. Though in all fairness, I’m not entirely sure what I’d make the other characters either

I’d say Fina either Woodcutter or Hunter, Menos probably a Paladin? (Just not for Castele specifically) Kuro I’d say Mercenary or potentially Alchemist works (though in terms of weapons Menos and Kuro should probably switch), and for Velvet I don’t really know, maybe Miner, Alchemist or even Magician? I don’t know, as far as I can remember, nothing fits cleanly with “archaeologist”

But anyways, maybe if I continue with this, I can basically make up my own personality for Ceres, so I should continue, but I don’t know if I’m motivated enough to do so. We’ll see. Take this in the meantime I suppose. It isn’t much of anything, but it is a thing

Oh also one more thing I forgot but can’t fit elsewhere: I think the storyline idea for Ceres here is that she ended up here post-Evoland 2, but she doesn’t really remember getting here at all, thinking she’s just been in Castele her whole life, until she starts slowly realizing things don’t add up. She isn’t from this game though, especially since I don’t think demons exist to explain why she’s blue

hmm sweet teeat + innkeep curtis au?

small treats | c.e.

a/n: innkeeper curtis loml!!!!

It’d been weeks since you stumbled into Curtis’ life that night, but you still weren’t speaking about what had brought you to his inn during a snow storm in the middle of winter with haunted eyes and pockets full of magic. He didn’t know what to make of that, of you, but after a few days of rest, you’d pulled yourself together, clumsily taking to the chores he’d assigned you in exchange for your lodgings; if he was being honest with himself, he’d have let you stay either way, but he told himself that the fact that you were trying meant something.

That day, he’d sent you to market for supplies; usually, strangers around these parts were charged much higher fares than locals, but after the incident with the woodcutter he wanted to see if you could hold your own when bargaining as well. You’d sparked his curiosity, that much was for certain, and while you were gone, he repaired the hinges on the front door and reboiled the stew, swept the hearths and cut the branches out back, keeping himself busy to stop his thoughts from wandering until you finally stumbled back along the path, your arms heavily laden with your purchases.

You had a strange, determined look on your face as he raised a hand in greeting, not looking at his face as you shuffled closer, murmuring, "I got you something", as you shoved something into his palm and continued your march before he could even blink or say anything.

When he looked, it was a hot bun, sticky with honey glaze and still steaming in the cold air, the kind that Adeline sold for exorbitant sums near the children’s playground, slightly squished by your fist but smelling delightfully sweet. Curtis knew he’d not given you enough coins to buy any extras, so you either had a true talent for negotiating or you’d scraped together what little copper you earned as tips sometimes; either way, warmth gently filled his chest until a tiny smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.

Found this super obscure Aesop fable on this website while figuring out storyboard portfolio ideas, so keep an eye out for more progress in the near future! :O

[da-man-si]

The instant happiness on her face when she found out it has gold embroidery is sending me. I know she is honest but I also have a feeling that if she were the woodcutter in the 'The Honest Woodcutter' then she would've taken the golden axe lmaooo. Jokes aside, this whole barbecue date night was extremely adorable and heart-warming not only because of their playfulness with each other but also because he opened up about his parents to her. The trust keeps getting deeper and I am reveling in it.

[maareyas]

for funsies, related to that last art.

kinda wanna do more "children's storybook" style illustrations. Will this actually affect my current plans? who knows but I wanted to try making a poll for fun ʕ⁠·⁠ᴥ⁠·⁠ʔ

ROUND 3: SPEND THE ENTIRE NIGHT CUTTING WOOD

Mae Borowski (cat; Night in the Woods) vs. Woodcutter Bear (bear; Rhythm Heaven)

PROPAGANDA UNDER THE CUT!!

Mae:

"I never finished Night in the Woods but I want nothing but good things for this trash mammal."

"She's just like me fr <3"

Woodcutter bear:

"90% sure this dude was both my furry and gay awakening. He’s crazy hot, he wears pants and overalls but no shirt, he yells masculinely at the top of his lungs while he chops wood in the forest, and he “wears clothes three times his size because his muscles get really big whenever he flexes.” He’s hot in canon too, the wiki says that the cats that he helps are “heavily implied to be attracted to him,” which is why they keep asking him to chop more wood for them. This also means that, at the very least, the cats are gay (they’re called “los gatos” in Spanish instead of “las gatas”), and, let’s be honest, the bear’s probably gay too. Just look at him. They’re just a few steps away from forming a polycule that worships this guy. Actually, they probably already have that without him knowing. Also at the end of the final remix, he chops open a giant peach and a baby comes out. I know this is a reference to a Japanese fairy tale, but I don’t know the specifics, so… it’s possible? Maybe? The mpreg furry polycule is possible? In the cute little rhythm game? Please?"
