Yeah, your favourite indie video game franchise probably isn't going to go gacha in its next instalment, so that's an advantage over the AAA ecosystem, but sequels in the indie space have their own perils. Six words: turn based tactical roguelike deckbuilder RPG.

☼ The Sun Rises ☼
#it may not be obvious SO I will say it in the tags: the rings with circles represent one sunrise per month for the past 18 years#since the game's release to now when Ammy returns with another sunrise in the teaser as no way could I put 3.7k circles in this#also I mixed some elements of her traditional design with Shiranui + Solar Flare and then the 'winged' Divine Retribution from the teaser#okami 2#okami#okami sequel#Amaterasu#Shiranui#capcom#artists on tumblr#Okami Amaterasu#clover studio#okami fanart#okami game#okami art#ookami#video games#hideki kamiya#clovers studio#fan art#digital art#ammy#olessan art#art#okami 2 news got me into enough of a state to draw! which I've been struggling to do for like 3 months!

“On our shelves in the studios, in the middle of the books from our master painters, stand a few issues of Vogue and l’officiel magazines with all the fashion shows from previous years,” Mitton says.
delilah copperspoon dishonored 1 //// marie-sophie wilson-carr for vogue 1991, and comme des garçons 1988
jessamine kaldwin //// thierry mugler runway 1996
lizzy stride //// jean paul gaultier runway 1997
#dishonored#jessamine kaldwin#delilah copperspoon#arkane studios#game design#jessamine's model has the same hair too roughly but this photo showed the facial similarities better#jessamine's ingame outfit is cobbled together from various thierry mugler collections#eg. her jacket with the split sleeves is from fw 1997 and the high neck cape elements span across a few years i think?#thats a separate post tho#sophie marie wilson is STRIKINGLY like delilah in the late 80s#delilah enjoyers defs look at some of sophie marie wilsons 90s and 80s shoots. absolutely gorgeous#imo thats why dishonored makeup is Like That. because vogue in the 80s and 90s is Like That.

Little Wolves is crowdfunding NOW!
It's finally here, y'all! The crowdfunding campaign for our tabletop RPG of folk tales, fae queens, and werewolves is live on Backerkit~
Support our work here!
From the award-winning publisher behind Motel Spooky-Nine, You’re In Space And Everything’s Fucked, Dinocar and more, Little Wolves is a tabletop role-playing game about adventuring through a realm of folk & fae as shapeshifting werewolves.
In Little Wolves, you’ll craft real-world paper masks that represent their characters, modifying them over the course of their adventures to reflect the marks their experiences leave on them while transforming between your Wolf and Mortal forms!
The crowdfunding campaign aims to bring the game’s vivid world to life in an 8.5” x 8.5” full-color perfect bound book loaded with gorgeous art from a team of 4 artists accompanying setting & mechanics from award-winning designers Julie-Anne Muñoz and Nevyn Holmes.
The crowdfunding campaign launches May 14th, running through June 11th, 12pm US Central with an initial funding goal of $19,500 USD with plenty of stretch goals to unlock for more art, more content, and even an expansion!
Making masks & shifting forms
In your Wolf form, you have access to the benefits of your beastly Attributes, can sing magical Spellsongs, and can resist harm with your Resolve. In your Mortal form, you'll switch your Attributes, Spellsongs, and Resolve out for strong, flexible Mortal Powers that can turn the tide of any situation they're used in. Through character advancement, you can strengthen yourself as you see fit. Perhaps you favor one form over the other, or you may switch between them frequently. The choice is yours.
The Enchanted Forest

As you explore this dense forest you'll meet the powerful and mysterious Queens and aid them, and their courts, through all manner of quests and favors. As a werewolf, you're uniquely gifted in traversing the forest, capable of making it to every edge of the woods, meaning that only you can learn its deepest secrets.
✨ A free demo/quickstart for Little Wolves is available to download and play, get it here! ✨

watched hazbin hotel with friends last weekend and oh my god guys i could feel it turning me into a reactionary conservative ive never gotten so pissed off at a piece of media before. free all those voice actors from their chains.
#text!#it was mind boggling ive never felt more aversion to a tv show before#the writing. the character design. the animation. the implementation of the musical element. it was ass guys#full disclosure we were playing a drinking game where we took a shot every time they said fuck or every time we cringed#(AND WE GOT TIRED OF TAKING NONSTOP SHOTS BY EPISODE TWO. TWO!!!!!!!!)#but i dont think being sober wouldve made it a better experience#and i try to be positive on here! if i dont like something i just talk about it with my friends irl! but christ almighty. that show is ass

some traitor mags gijinka concept stuff (from the same creative effort as this post)
#kirby series#kirby gijinka#master crown monday#master crown#magolor#traitor magolor#technically this is AU content. or it was originally#i came up with some ideas for a fairytale/fantasy/fable au#basically what if triple deluxes aesthetic went on steroids and also applied to other games!#magolor is indeed based on the beast (as in beauty and the beast) but there isnt really a 1 to 1 for beauty#(yes ive been known to depict him smooching the science lady but id want her to be her own thing. maybe like. mulan or something?)#the crown itself i see as some sort of dragon/trickster demon archetype (just that this one was shoved into a hat)#that little imp/devil you know you do NOT want to set free but that will entice you anyway#this design has grown on me. i dont mind it for main universe traitor magolor#but it might be a little TOO far on the animalistic side. i dunno. i would want it to show a bit of the crowns influence creeping in...#and GENERALLY speaking i see the crowns aesthetic as leaning more toward demonic/angelic than traditionally beast-like#yet theres definitely a strong animalistic element to it as well#particularly with those big talons#but for example... fur. whiskers. thats magolors thing not the crown. THE CROWN IS NOT A FURRY!! /lh

Artwork of Bargello that I made for Project Path Action.
#i'm not sure if team asano artists use model sheets because their characters in general have design elements that differ in official artwork#in bargello's case his hairstyle is different depending on who draws him?#i figured it was fair game to interpret it how i wanted in that case; hope that's ok#ANYWAY bargello you will always be famous#octopath cotc#octopath traveler#bargello ghiberti#(and ''black-and-white cat'' as it is called ingame but i named it binky)

Final Fantasy VIII has a lot of influence on RWBY but the first most notable example was also foreshadowing
quite famously in the Yellow trailer, the picture Yang shows Junior of the person she's looking for is a piece that Monty had made years before titled Transient Princess, which had initially started as something with Rinoa Heartilly, a major character in VIII's story
Rinoa, during the events of FFVIII, becomes a Sorceress - the only real magic users in the setting, all Sorceresses are women and their power transfers to someone else when they die. Rinoa has a white feather motif and manifests wings when using her Sorceress power
we later learn that Yang was actually looking for her mother, Raven Branwen (whose last name means 'white or blessed raven'), who has a lot of feathers in her design
and then in volume 5 we learn that she's a Maiden, one of the only real magic users in the setting, all 4 Maidens are women and their powers transfer to someone else when they die
meaning it was right fucking in front of us before the show even started
#RWBY#there are so many big and small things in the show that track with VIII#like Yang and Ruby's dynamic and parental situation is a mix of elements from Squall and his adopted older sister Ellone#Yang and Blake's relationship is a mix-and-match of elements of Squall and Rinoa's (including ballroom dancing)#hell Yang's Beacon design seems to be based on a cosplay Monty made in 2010 of a genderbent Squall#the whole structure of the show - with the first act set at Beacon - is reminiscent of how VIII's story starts contained to Balamb Garden#before expanding out into the world#hell - Para-Magic and Dust are very similar#being ways for everyone to use magic but having to use resources to do instead of being able to use it naturally#oh and of course VIII is the game that introduced the gunblade and RWBY takes that to its logical conclusion#by making almost every melee weapon 'also a gun'

Have mistresses on the brain AGAIN so enjoy a Maria Kaina art dump and my pretentious explanatory tags


#pathologic#pathologic classic hd#maria kaina#where. do. I. BEGIN with this woman#she’s scared#she’s a wannabe cult leader#she’s trying to live up to her mothers legacy#she’s going to burn down her mother’s town to do it#her family’s dying#SHE’s dying#it is the right choice to surrender herself as a vessel#but the Kains don’t believe in choice; the Kains believe in fate#what’s it like to grieve a mother while she haunts you? while she tells you you’re next?#what’s it like to see three separate people who are free. who can form their own fate while you sit there chained to yours?#what’s it like Maria Kaina. Head of the Kain family?#she makes me SICK#I love her so much#anyway onto yapping with the design#gave her a moon halo (again: inspo from mad.raven)#also played around with her design#ended up merging her Patho classic dress and her Patho concept art dress#mainly because I hold a personal hatred of tight sleeves- both irl and in drawing them#and also because I love love LOVE the whole ribbon sleeve thing being represented of her being tied up by fate#also just because they’re super cute#kept her red-purple colouring theming though because I’m quite a fan of it#gave her little glowing spikeys under her eyes- wanted to distinguish her mistress status and I thought bringing in the halo design#elements could be cute#(and now I’m thinking of not having them on Katerina when I get around to designing her because#*spoilers to 20 year old game*#she’s not a ‘real’ mistress)

“When working with dangerous elements, it is best to keep a safe distance.”
Template by @danger-bird. I included his full design below:

Other MCs' Character Lore:
Mourning Mist (Luneth the Reluctant Unnamed)
Thick as Thieves (Alon the Stray Hound)
#touchstarved#touchstarvedgame#touchstarved game#red spring studio#touchstarved oc#jin the alchemist#jin the abandoned alchemist#the cursed orphan#my oc#myoc#character lore#my art#myart#okay I have finally done my alchemist mc's lore sheet#fogshire would be his old village before his magic mentor took him under her wing and relocated him to her residence#behold! jin during his apprentice days!#before the curse spread to his eye prompting him to cover it#he's busy taking notes and studying#probably observing a plant in his old garden#there are a lot of elements in this outfit that he shares with minerva#I wanted to give him a similar look since he is wearing her clothes — though somewhat altered#I'll be redesigning him sometime in the future so maybe there will be some of these elements in his new design!#I thought it would be cool to make his lore sheet like a mysterious local urban legend. or rural legend I suppose#jin's their cryptid. XD#“he is the root of all evil. a harbinger of the world's end.” “he's four.”#I wonder if anyone in his old village would make a tourist trap based on him

Mirakane siren AU Who up contemplating Akane Kurashiki's indelible destructive pull back to the source of her trauma and consistent inability to escape her compulsive fixation on recreating it 🌊🎉 Who up making elaborate fish yuri about it (me alone) 🐟
dimmer alt version
#zero escape#zero time dilemma#akane kurashiki#mira ztd#mira zero escape#mirakane#monster au#digital art#barts (big arts)#I hope this is recognisable enough as versions of the same characters 😭😭😭#with akanes design I tried to incorporate elements from all her canon outfits into a vaguely period appropriate shape#of Somewhere In Witch Hunt Times#but there's only so much I can do with naked fish lady 🥲#But!! She's based on a red bellied piranha because of what she talks about in that one fragment comparing herself to a piranha in the water#the necessary danger of the game#isnt it interesting how that's an aquatic metaphor. When Mira is indirectly responsible for Akane dying stranded out in the ocean.#How in akanes own game she had hongou be the shark in the water#unfortunately I've been told piranhas only live in freshwater. Fortunately these depicted are special piranhas compelled by siren magic#can you believe ztd introduced a character who as a child herself instigated the events of the entire series and had Akane end up#coincidentally meeting her and then they don't even talk onscreen#and the reveal of her causing that is just casually dropped and glossed over she doesnt even tell akane herselflflfl#this was so fucking hardddd#theres a surprisingly huge amount of underwater reference photos available online but i couldnt find quite what i wanted and i had to figur#out the fucking skirttttt and hair underwater and rendering the water itself#and now i have learned :)
