#using their color palette

[obsessedgames505]

So I’m probably not going to do this because it’d take a lot of work that will definitely delay the next update by like a lot, and it is really late so it’s probably just casual midnight thoughts but

What if I took another shot at redesigning these two?

Again, I’m most likely not going to do this. There’s already so much work done and I can’t afford to do it all over again.

This is more of a question of “hey what if I didn’t directly take the color palettes and vibes of Shadow Milk Cookie and Pure Vanilla Cookie and slap them onto my characters?” What if I tried to design them without any of that influence?

Because even though I like these designs, I was also going through a very blatant cookie run phase when I remade them. So maybe I should draw a what if scenario where I didn’t use such blatant choice of reference?

However, that’s not the only reason I’m considering this. If my games ever get to the point where they’re popular enough for people to want me to make merchandise of them, I don’t want the lawyers of Devsisters knocking on my door sending me a zillion copyright infringements or 2 million cease and desists for using only one reference when making my characters. If I was rich enough to fend off lawyers like that I wouldn’t be making games tbh. Sure, they probably wouldn’t notice a random lil indie dev making a very specific niche of dating sim. But do I want to take that chance in the future? No not really.

So while this is purely a what if scenario right now, since even trying to do this would require several weeks, I am considering it for my own artistic integrity and own legal safety. I want to start making things that are purely my own and not just my version of the hyperfixation I have that week, and I don’t want to get into any possible legal problems with my designs. I’m just trying to have fun but I want to be safe while doing so.

If any of my followers could give me their direct input via the comments or the ask box, I would seriously appreciate it. I’ve been conflicted about this since the new game’s release.

Wisptober Day 14: Layers

“A young woman cloaked in layers upon layers of colourful shawls wanders the empty streets of an emptier city.  She dances nimbly through the odd spires sprouting from the pavement and hums a sort of hissing tune.”

ALMOST CAUGHT UP! Going to post todays one in a few hours.:)

[ID: A digital lineup of the cast of Mouthwashing drawn as ponies from My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic.

The first image shows Curly, post and pre-crash, and Jimmy. Curly is a white pegasus with an orange mane and tail, red hooves, and red and orange feathers on his wings. His cutie mark is an upside down horseshoe pouring out sparkles. Jimmy is a green and brown unicorn with a dark green mane and tail and black hooves. He does not have a cutie mark.

The second image shows Anya, Daisuke, and Swansea. Anya is a blue and white Unicorn with a black mane and tail, and her cutie mark is a dripping red heart with a cross in it. Daisuke is a pink pegasus with lighter pink markings, a brown mane and tail, and his cutie mark is a hibiscus flower. Swansea is a yellow and brown earth pony, with a gray-brown mane, tail, and hooves, and his cutie mark is an axe resting over a wrench.

The last image shows Jimmy by himself as a changeling. end ID]

Have some Replica Leo for Round 2 of the @tmntfashioncompetition! This time the theme is: "Traditional Garment." I’ll be up against @villainleoau and I’m nervous cuz that’s a STELER crew and some of the most talented artists in the fandom (also their fashion sense is off the charts)!

For the art I decided to lean into some traditional Japanese attire and a prosthetic more befitting of the era. Originally I was just going to have Leo's missing arm be covered, but if he wants to be truly capable with a katana he'd need something to help keep the sheath affixed when removing his sword. This is especially necessary for duels, since the speed and pressure applied from the drawing of the sword are imperative. I imagine he has several more varying tools he can screw onto his arm in the little side pack. Also note, the Kanji means "ninja" or "ninpo" and the finer hiragana text is the infamous "You are not alone" line. I had a lot of fun with this one, trying to decide if maybe I should put it up for print.
