Art Process ✨🌿✨

I’m getting the hang of reel basics, and having some fun!

This was supposed to be something different but I fell in love with this background and realized I had “steps” I could share as a process reel, so here we are.

Have a great day! 💖

probablyahazards album compilation for sad little losers

i was tagged by the lovely @nuclear-cowboy​ to give the 4 albums I listen to alot!!! I’m one of those people who doesn’t really listen to full albums, my soul picks a little song to make my whole personality that month and then I just play it on repeat

Shut In by Pigeon Pit - I have recommended this album to literally all of my friends. This album was my first introduction to Pigeon Pit for me when i was around 15? and every song I've listened to has branded itself onto my soul.

Stick Season by Noah Kahan - This is a more recent addition to my little musical menagerie, however no less than half this album is on my 'if these songs arent on my spotify wrapped in suing' playlist so i think it counts. I could go on forever about this album so lets just leave it at when the delux version drops I'll be off losing my mind in a corner

Pebble Brain by Lovejoy - Yes, i know I'm basic and sad. shut up. there are a lot of reasons i love this album, but the one imma put here is that i graduated high school the year this album dropped. To this day me and my friend cry at the chorus to model blues because that shit hits different when you're leaving school and are scared of the future.

The Tower (Original Podcast Soundtrack) by Tin Can Audio - Now this one might be cheating a little but i dont care hehe. my go to 'the thoughts are too loud again time for some background music' playlist. the track 'Funny Ideas About Eternity' is absolutely the soundtrack to my dreams. this podcast is also very good if you wanna go give it a listen.

Honorable Mentions!!

Your City Gave Me Asthma by Wilbur Soot - again I'm basic and sad, expect nothing from me. but this album is actually really good.

The entire discography of The Mechanisms - it would absolutely be cheating to put all of their music on here and i can't pick a favorite.

Both the Hollowknight and Coraline Soundtracks - apparently i have a thing for soundtrack ablums but these are both top teir and are absolutely being used for dnd

Music For The Climb by Tin Can Audio - there are 4 different albums for The Tower, either companion albums or as the actual music from the show, but these 2 are definitely my favourites.

I'm tagging @shyghostgrrl and anyone else who wants too!!

I realized I forgot to post this! Hollow Knight has quickly become my favorite game. The music, the gameplay, and the art combine in just the right way to keep my focused (which is nearly impossible to do), and it has quickly become my go-to game when I don't know what to play or need a moment to relax. Thus, of course I started drawing the different characters! I attempted to use some pastels and charcoals for this one. I think it turned out really good! #hollowknight #hollowknightfanart https://www.instagram.com/p/CAKD6jnAfLv/?igshid=1dlsw8krs09hj

[too-many-paper-cranes]

Hi! i've been considering playing hollowknight(thats the name right? the game you've been posting about a lot lately) could you tell me about it? like, how difficult it is compared to undertale, some stuff about the controls and graphics, is it just one thing, or are there a lot of side stories to go through, how does saving work, do you save whenever, or are there specific places you save? idk it seemed cool before, and seeing you posting about it has made me even more interested in it

OK SO

hollow knight is a singleplayer 2D platformer that i’ve been told works similarly to dark souls (though ive never played it so i cant break down exactly how lmao). it’s definitely more difficult compared to undertale, the main storyline is not too bad but there are a bunch of optional sidequests and some of them are Hard (like the one im doing rn lmao) and even in the main story there are some bosses that are going to take multiple attempts. they’re not impossible though, like the goal of the game is not to frustrate u so much as it is to challenge you. it’s also a much longer game compared to undertale, i have like 160 hours on it and still havent done everything there is to do lmao

there’s an option to use a controller but i just use a keyboard and that’s been working fine for me. you start out with only a few abilities unlocked (jump, attack, and focus) and as you go through the game you gain more, it’s slow enough to get used to so you aren’t immediately overwhelmed by all the buttons u need to press right off the bat. you can also customize the controls which is really nice!

as for graphics the style is simple but beautiful and absolutely adorable. like it’s a game abt bugs so every character is appropriately smol. it kinda reminds me of paper mario in a way? im not really an artist so i cant really give a deeper analysis of how the art does what it does™ but i found a video here that talks abt it!!! it’s rlly neat

as i mentioned above there are some sidequests and even entire areas of the game that are completely optional. that being said there are multiple endings so if you’re unsatisfied with the ending u end up with those sidequests are definitely worth checking out! also the main storyline isnt quite as linear as with a game like undertale, like there are a bunch of parts that can be done in literally any order and there’s a lot of focus on exploration for large sections of the game. the game is kinda vague abt where u need to go at times so the strategy seems to be “if i run around and explore for long enough eventually ill find the boss/item/ability i need to progress.” which is apparently pretty standard for metroidvanias (at least u get a map lol)

saving is kinda weird, the game autosaves so reloading a previous save when u fuck up is not a thing. benches are the closest things to save points in the game but they’re more like respawn points that also restore ur health. when u die u dont lose progress (like if u hit a switch before u died the switch is still on when u respawn) but the game punishes you by taking your shadow away and it kinda just hangs out where you died holding on to all ur money (i guess little ghost keeps their geo in their soul???). you have to hunt it down and fight it to get ur money back and if u die again before doing that u lose it all. tbh the game hands out a lot of money to make up for this so it’s not too big of a deal unless ur carrying a lot around for some reason, you’ll get it back

(there’s also a permadeath mode in case hunting ur shade down is too easy for u but i havent tried it lmao)

also ik you didn’t ask abt this but the music is like. rlly good. im probably biased bc im a sucker for orchestral soundtracks but still!!!

there’s probably stuff im forgetting but i think this covers all of your questions??? if u have more lmk, im not an expert on all things hollow knight yet but ill do my best to answer ^^
