new oc alert‼️
Amber
Some of you may remember that I was working on a story about dragons. Well, after a lot of months of incessant work, I've finally managed to draw one (1) of the characters! Yay!
(I've also been planning and plotting the story, but college is kicking my ass so, baby steps)
Anyway her name is Amber and they're a bird hybrid, specifically a turtledove hybrid! She lives in the streets and has had a very rough life. I'll probably elaborate... later. For now, have the first concept of her that I made five years ago!
(Yes, I used a Pinterest base. I was 14.)
Also, here's the bird they're based on: A Turkish turtledove!

Something I haven't seen talked abt much while scrolling endlessly through various tags is wires. There's something about wires, running your fingers through them, that's so romantically intimate. Moving wires to get to fans or circuit boards to clean them, its like removing a veil or a coat. A silent, sweet gesture. Like, "here, let me hold you, know you, and take care of you" uhh send post

I'm really curious about the process that goes on behind your art! Especially because you give so much importance to themes and it's like *chef's kiss*. It's always so well thought out and I find your references to all the snippets and readings really fascinating and very inspiring. How the heck do you organise your thoughts so well while reading ?
honestly organizing my thoughts. it takes. a while. to do it lmao
usually what happens is something like: I'll be reading a book on crassus, and the author refers to crassus as the leading domestic politician in rome while pompey was the leading military general. and this will set off bells in my head that go 'oh, roman household dynamics,' because the phrasing reminded me of a text describing the role of wives of roman politicians when their husbands were away (which I first came across in a text discussing octavia's role in her marriage with antony)
and while I'm doing all of this, I usually have a journal or sticky notes or literally any kind of scrap paper with me where I make short notes on what's interesting/what's connecting in my head/what would make an interesting subject to draw, no matter how unrelated it is, and then I'll look over everything once I've exhausted the train of thought like. man! this is borderline incomprehensible! let's make a comic about it.
then when I've done all that, I'll spend two or three days cutting down all the excess material and attempting to figure out the most direct way to convey what's going on in a scene so that someone unfamiliar with any of it might be able to follow along on vibes alone. sometimes it takes a week. sometimes I get stuck on something and I have to make a note to revisit it in a few months!

Hello everyone, tis I, the manager of the tumblr account for our dear new danganronpa fangame: Danganronpa: Negative Hope
We're a team of (not) professional developers who (don't) know what they're doing, coming from a discord server which I cannot share with you at the moment.
But being honest here, we're doing our best, we're looking forward to sharing some stuff about our game, including progress updates and art from the characters or the UI / backgrounds.
We already have most of the characters planned out, only missing two of them which out of the two, one of them already has the character details file.
When it comes to the story we're a bit behind, but that's because it's a relatively new and small project. We've got the general outline for the prologue, but we have to bulk it up a bit. (Same for chapter 1, we're currently working on the first class trial, since it's what we think will take us the longest).
The art department is doing okay, we have the designs for all the OC's but two I mentioned earlier and the UI has been sketched out. We already have the aesthetic decided (we're going with cryptidcore), but the backgrounds aren't our priority yet, so we have literally none done (we're very professional as you can see).
Btw, if you want to talk to me directly, hi, I'm Lee, I go by he/him or he/they.
I'm not only the tumblr community manager, but also one of the two programmers, the guy in charge of the UI's design, the artist who drew Lynn, Hiro, Michikuma and Sophie's only sprites (for the moment), a main story writer, and the guy who created both Hiro and Lynn, story and design-wise.
(Now that I write it down I do a lot of stuff actually-)
Our other official accounts are:
Instagram: @ dgr_nh
Twitter: @ DR_Negativehope
And that's it. (We're expanding slowly)
ー★ー
Lee note - Tbh I'm gonna have to ask if I can post certain stuff because I already got censored on twitter once by the team for posting a "mildly nsfw tweet" (it was not) that could paint us as unprofessional (it would not, we already are) on the official account.
Just don't tell my boss if I post stupid shit and we're good 👍
