if u ever need playtesters/beta/etc for gravehearts, I love to read, write, and edit/feedback others' writing and VNs can be hefty work and my going rate would be ACopyOfTheGame pounds and 0 pence gfdhjgkfd [no but seriously I'd buy it myself anyway im very excited for it but this i also a serious offer idk if ur planning on doing playtesters but if u do pls advertise it i will b ion it so fast]

For playtesters I was going to open it to my patreons (any tier) so they'd get first look at chapters/ early access to the game and can playtest it as well to get their name in the credits as a thank you~

Hey Kroov! Is there anything you can chat about re: gravehearts? I really wanna get some coffee and ask you about everything, everyone, all of it, tell me the whole deal over several hours, etc etc. Obviously you can't do that so I was wondering what little tidbits you could give us (meeeeee 🎶) to sigh over instead! - totally not a patreon sub who saw the new wip, definitely didn't come running to talk about it, also absolutely not the Ledger Lover from earlier, nope

We appreciate a Ledger lover, he deserves so much love ;a;! Some Ledger things you can enjoy: Ledger is the oldest of all the ghosts, at a whopping 2000ish years old, he is very romantic and loves meeting new people! If you wanna get a vibe of him listen to Hozier.

Some fun genral game things:

Chapter 1 will be introdcuing 2 of the ghosts, and our lovely sweet human Andy, I will hopefully (no promises cause i am a busy boi) get a free demo of the game out by late next month, it'll be sort of the first half of chapter 1 so folk can give it a little go, see if they like the writing style and the art an stuff before they commit to buying anything 💕

hi!!

i've seen a lot of your art around before (mainly on pinterest unfortunately, the cursed thing) and i'm SO glad to have found the source of such gorgeous art finally!!!

i don't have much to say other than i adore your character designs and your general art style, the way you paint/render is utterly stunning and i am admittedly envious of your work bc it's just so so visually pleasing

🥺🥺🥺 Thank you sm

What Brushes do you use in Procreate ?

I use a few depending on the project im working on!

For Gravhearts and Horizon Walkers I use GvW InkAmigo Watterson dry, and Jingaketch noisy brush. Both are paid brushes.

For painting and personal work i use Flat Brush, 6B pencil, Nekko Rull and i also really like Eaglehawk, which are all base brushes~

(Different anon from the op) I'm an amateur va that has loads of experience from doing D&D for 5+ years. I'm wondering if you'd ever be willing to take submissions for characters. If so, do you perhaps have any voice claims/character notes that a va could look at to get a good idea of how these "Gravehearts" might sound?🖤

I’d open for submissions if i start a actually being able to look for VA’s i wont be taking any at the moment cause obviously i don’t know how well the game will do. So i don’t have any voice claims at the moment but i have some ideas for what characters accents could be.

Antony is English, i could see him with a london accent, i don’t know the specific area of london for the accent i’m thinking i think it’s sooouuth london.

Agnes is scottish but with Indian heritage i’m not sure when her family came to Scotland, i think she’ lived most of her life in scotland but she could have either accent or a mix of the two.

Wyatt would be south/ southwest American, and i can imagine his voice being quite husky or croaky.

Jolly sounds like a lil cockney victorian orphan. ( I used to play Jolly in our Darkest Days game but i can’t do their voice anymore after my voice broke 😭)

I don’t have an accent decided for Cecil or Ledger yet, Cecil would possibly have a slight Italian accent and i have noooo idea what kind of accent Ledger would have he would have spoken latin so i don’t know what someone who speaks latin then learned english would sound like, i imaging his voice being very soft and warm though.

[kroovv]

your game looks so cool!! are you planning on having voice acting?

I'd love to someday have voice acting that's be so cool 🥺

Hi! I love your art, and some of your characters have been an inspiration for some of my writing. I know you don't want anyone to use your art for personal use or "claim" your characters, and I want to respect that. What is your level of comfort around your art being used as a reference for another artist's commission? Saying like "oh I love the way Kroovv did the ears here" or "I picture my character's tail like that," that kind of thing. I don't want anyone to copy your work, and would never ask another artist to do that.

I don't want to make any assumptions, so I figured it would be better to just ask, and will absolutely honor whatever your comfort level is. (And one day, hope to catch your comms while they're open! I know it's really rare!)

The examples you gave are just fine! I really don't mind that being used as insporation is totally fine as well if the artist puts their own spin on it~ Its just presenting art of my character and saying "draw this character" thats where i draw the line, but i don't own like ear designs or tail designs or small details like that i own the character as a whole! If that makes sense.

[kroovv]

Okay I know I already sent an ask but I just needed to say this, so I looked at your comic horizon walkers out of curiosity and I friggin' love it! Rosemary is an adorable bun <=} I'm gonna take a look at your other comics because they're pretty interesting and we can clearly see that you put a lot of effort and care in them. You're awesome.

🥺 thank you so much im so glad you enjoyed it! Rosemary is baby 💕

Apologies anyone whos gotten scary looking DMCA’s in there emails, or emails saying a pin has been removed, it is honestly nothing personal I just don’t want my artwork on Pinterest anymore. I have managed to take down about 38 illustrations 💪

I am not taking down things like fanart I don't mind that being up so much, it's mainly just OCs, adopts and commissions.

Just letting folks know know i am DMCAing my artwork that’s been posted to pintrest, I don’t really want my artwork to be on there anymore because of AI and just because for the longest time people have seen pintrest as a place where they can just take characters for their own and i’m really tired of it.

If you have every reposted my artwork to Pinterest I ask if you could kindly take it down, thank you 💕
