My entry for @blacktabbygames Draw the Princess contest!! I love most of the princesses, but decided to draw the spectre because she's so cute <3 And in the same fashion as the game's mainly greyscale style, I also did greyscale but in purple!! uwu7 Hope you all like my art <3
behold, the very first concept arts for spectre city online! i think i'll try to post concepts regularly to show my progress and also to challenge myself i guess? this is for the townspeople/playable characters - i'd imagine them to be normal kids with pumpkin heads, who can replace them in a 'carving ritual' (think like pixie hollow minigames) for different designs. maybe they put other stuff on their heads, like fruit, and there could be limited edition fruit for holidays? another option for playable characters would be ghosts, but i feel like theyd have less customisation choices. i really want faceless characters as well, because i think one of the core parts of halloween is the fact that you're not really 'yourself' - you could be in a mask, and nobody would recognise you, and you can be whoever you want. for outfits, i imagine costumes based off a variety of halloween monsters and creatures - the scaryness of the outfit would affect your 'tricking' (battle system) performance, while the cuteness or sillyness of the outfit would affect your 'treating' (trading/selling your stuff with npcs/other players) performance.
Damn, no chibis since October? Well, time to fix that with some Q and cats, hehe.
Now, can you find all the tiny details/hidden references? 👀 I'll help you with one—the kitties' coats are based on two cat buddies who regularly invade my parents' garden I like to think they're Brosnan!Bond and Alec, lol.
Adnachiel is his public name. He actually has a private birth name only his family knows. His family initially sought sanctuary in Leithanien Empire after he was infected. When he became of age, his parents moved back to Laterano and he studied Engineering while working part time at a bakery.
He was roommates with Steward and Cardigan in Leithanien. One day there was a crack down on infected migrant workers in Leithanien and Voluntary Euthanasia Collars were forced upon the infected migrant worker population. He destroyed his and Steward's collars. With Cardigans help, the three of them fled Leithanien and sought work at Rhodes Island.
He's currently working in the Weapons Workshops and is a support worker for Spectre. He is one of the few who can communicate with her. When her pain gets too bad, she speaks in her most familiar language - the ancient language. Adnachiel can speak the Ancient Language having learnt it and maintaining his studies in it.
Man, I'm way better at chibi and stylized design. This Adanchiel is not good lmao. I'm regressing.
After so long working on those daily puzzles from Lady Layton I finally got around to unlocking the Last Specter/Spectre's Call section of the Layton Museum. I'm so happy right now because look at these little pixel chibis. I'm going to continue working on unlocking more parts of the Layton Museum and the next one is Miracle Mask!
Sailor Stars is exceptionally awesome and in the conversation for the actual best season of the show. The main reason it isn’t is because most english language fans discovered it later in life thus it couldn’t compete with their nostalgia for the earlier seasons.
SuperS is not as bad as the fandom makes it out to be. There are some standout episodes in the first half and the second half is a huge improvement, ending with a solid finale.
Sailor Moon S is good but overrated and by no means clearly the best season of the show. It has major strengths that for sure put it in the conversation for best season, but the Outer’s attitude and the central ideological conflict of the season have major flaws that get overlooked mostly because the novelty/cool factor the Outers bring to season.
Sailor Moon R is good and has never deserved the negativity it has received. The Hell Tree arc is not filler and lets us see Usagi and Mamoru fall in love arguably more organically than in the prior season. The Spectre Sisters are the greatest foils the Inner Senshi ever had in the show. Chibi-Usa’s not as much of a brat as people make her out to be and in fact she and Usagi have a proper arc to their relationship going from out-and-out antagonistic to embracing one another as mother and daughter. The break up was a highly effective emotional GUT punch and the consequent arc played into the central theme of the season, which was Usagi and Mamoru’s future together.
Sailor Moon Classic...has 100% the best finale of any season. Tightly written, equal parts inspiring and tragic, with a laser focus upon Usagi herself whilst giving every major character a chance to shine, even Queen Beryl and Luna. By contrast every other finale divides attention between Usagi and other characters and/or sidelines the Inners, the Outers, etc.
