Flaco — mon laferte |

lyrics in english:

- who is going to love you just like I do?

- I like to wake up and just see you asleep.

- but im far away and sad

- I wish to hug you

- and get entangled... with you.

RAAHGG I LOVE THIS SONG!!! I hope yall like this :]

I really needed to draw Michael, he is so cute

[pipiunu]

Не грусти,Лайка, Вида/Альма всегда рядом…❤️‍🩹(закроем глаза на то, что Альма могут находиться только в стенах колледжа)

Don't be sad, Laika, Vida/Alma is always there...❤️‍🩹 (let's close our eyes to the fact that Alma can only be located within the walls of the college)

😻😻😻

Quería verlo con traje y recordé que soy dibujante :p.

I wanted to see him in a suit and I remembered that I'm an artist :p. (sorry for the bad English, I used a translator 😭)

[pipiunu]

Lowkey feel bad for him lmao

[pipiunu]

💗💗💗💗

Hello Cheea! i was wondering if we could have a doodle of Vida, please? i like to draw them a lot but sadly there aren't many references other than the game sprites, i love Alma/Vida, they are my favorite character, no pressure and thank you! i hope you have a good day

I don't have a reference sheet unfortunately (it's definitely in my plans to make one for both Alma/Vida and Atom) but have something one of my lovely Patrons requested in the meantime:

[pipiunu]

taking advantage before you become a ghost >:[

I love you so much, alma/vida I hope they get more information about you 😭💕

I need more vida/alma they are very cute \ (> •<)

[pipiunu]

He’s been there for an hour do i let him in

[pipiunu]

MY SHAYLAAAA 😭😭😭❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹💝💞💓💖💗💓💞💕💗💗💘

Random question :)

Could we one day take Mychael to an aquarium (to see jellyfish) and how would he react? 👀 If he was comfortable enough I totally take him!

He'd love it! Being able to see sea creatures up close with his favorite person in the world; it'd make his day!

His favorite part would be those underwater tunnels (I mean who doesn't love those) and he'd probably get a cute little souvenir to bring home at the end of the visit, maybe a pin for his beanie or keychain/badge for his satchel.

I had a Patreon member request something similar back in December last year, so have some art as a treat!

💞💞💞

Something silly as a treat,

Shared these with my Patreons last month, here it is now for yall! 💝

[pipiunu]

Waoh sprite editing be upon ye🫴

But in all seriousness this was fun to make on renpy (minus the figuring out how to code it in part-) so I might do more of these if I ever come up with more dumb scenarios

because I don't know- playing with renpy sprites feels like playing with dolls but better because 🫵 look it's the weird worm, ghost and shroom trio 🫲✨interacting✨🫱

No text versions are below the cut :D

Hello Chea, how are you?:D,Last night while I was playing Mushroom Oasis, since I was just playing day 3, by the way I love your game, I thought something really stupid but I had to get it out of my head, if Mychael were to eat cereal, would he put the cereal first or the milk after?

Huh, funnily enough he talks about cereal in Day 4!

How do you organise the process of creating a character? like, to me its too confusing, i dont know what i do first because there are TOO MANY THINGS TO DO, like backstory, personality, looks, what they like, so what would be the “steps” to make them?

(Since @isabellaswork asked the same thing recently I'm tagging you here, hope that's okay!) Omg I'm flattered I'm the person you'd wanna ask such a big question ;v;!!? Honestly the process is different for everyone, but I'll give it a go <3 This is how my process usually goes:

Personality first, backstory later. Flesh out the concept of the character before deciding their origin story if that makes sense.

Build a moodboard for your character! The more ideas the better!

Time for visuals! Sketch out multiple iterations, looking at the moodboard for inspiration. Colors go last.

Finalize! Once you've got your final sketch + colors, draw a proper illustration and see if you vibe with the design. Repeat previous steps if necessary <3

Extra: Since you've got the design and story down, add some fun facts. This is where interests, likes and dislikes go!

I'll use my VN characters as examples below in case someone wants it in more detail! Mychael (Mushroom Oasis) and Alma (Lift Your Spirits spoilers!! + horror imagery) process ideation under cut:

Usually I start with personality first. Because for me, when you first meet someone, you see what they're like in the present; their past doesn't matter as much until you get to know them. I can decide the backstory later so it doesn't limit the personalities I'm playing around with. Of course I must have gotten the idea from somewhere so these two things work in tandem most of the time.

Then it's just a matter of how they look!

After deciding on personality traits, I start by collecting references from everywhere, even the smallest of things. I think of how I want them to look plus how they would dress. Anything goes at this stage, so just go buck-wild gathering ideas!

Here's a moodboard for Mychael:

This one was for Alma, from their normal self to their monstrous self:

Then it's time for drawing and doodles. As I sketch, I look back at the moodboard I've made and pick out things I like, while drawing things really loose. Copy paste if I need to!

I've shared the ones for Mychael here, here and here! Here's some sketches for Alma from last year:

This part takes the longest but is always the most fun! Don't feel limited by what you had initially, just test out ideas! Here are the final designs!

Mychael(s):

Alma(s):

Then once I'm happy with the design I can flesh out the backstory as much as I like!!! so long as it fits the presentation of the character in current time. Of course this process can differ when you already have a story in mind and need characters to carry out the plot, but I'm definitely not big-brain enough to make an all-out story like that </3 I just enjoy designing characters visually haha

Oh and just for fun, I like to sprinkle in some extra (but kinda unnecessary) background info. It can be the most mundane thing but it gives them more life (to me at least!) Maybe they drink flat orange soda, or enjoy riding trains at night, or hate the smell of french fries, or think apples are disgusting etcetcetc.

Of course there's like, tips for professional character designing like silhouette, shapes, proportions but I assume this ask was for a more casual approach <3 That's all I could think of if I were to describe my process,,, I hope that answers your question!

To recap:

Start with personality traits and decide backstory later. Or work them together as one. It's more concept than visuals at this stage.

Assemble a moodboard for inspiration. The more ideas the better! Look up anything that might relate to your character if it helps.

Sketch, sketch and sketch again! Keep things loose and free. I usually start from the face, to clothes to accessories. Colors go last.

Finalize! Put everything together in one rendered drawing, and see if you vibe with it. You can always go back to previous steps if you're still not happy with it.

And you're done! :-)
