so i kinda forgot i had a tumblr: an update

anyway, i still wanna draw more of shinya and co but my save kinda got screwed over, it was probably just a bad file or something because i SWEAR it worked fine before but one day i just found myself unable to actually proceed to the next day, like it was just a black screen

i DO have the shinya save backed up, but i made a new file just to see if the game is also gonna screw that one up at the same point of time so it's either i patched the game wrong or my save was just wack for some reason

anyways, if you guys want me to draw anyone, just send me a DM or an ask, i'll try my best to get back to you all

i swear i want to save my shinya save, i worked my butt off on that 100+ hour save lol

oh right, i also tried the story of seasons game before trio of towns but it ran bad on my n3ds for some reason so i had to uninstall it because i didnt have fun with it for that reason

Farmer Character Intro or something idk

This one is gonna be long because when it comes to OC, I have a ton of stuff I like to tell—and I just happen to be a huge fan of the character design process and just general art stuff.

Yeah, it's probably a little late to do this but bear with me, I only got to try Story of Seasons this year because of the 3DS eShop discontinuation making me pick up my 3DS to play new games I haven't thought of playing before outside my Pokemons and Fire Emblems (and dipping into homebrew here and there too; hence I found out the True Love mod for the game), and I swear I was NOT expecting to get into it—I'm not the type to really like this type of stuff... Then I realized that I already sunk 99 hours of my life into it, and shocker: I'm into this type of games.

So here we are, I got the brainworms and so, trio of dumbasses was made, to dump my dumb little art for it... And to test the brushes I download from Clip Studio Assets but never use because I already have the ones I go to for my usual style but still download because there's something in my ape brain that gives me dopamine when downloading brushes.

But enough of me, you're here for me OC, so let me introduce you to my farmer, Shinya. I'll just be going over what I wrote on my notes the past few weeks, so yeah—overall design thoughts, outfits, personality, a bit of background lore, etc. It's probably a bit of a read so brace yourselves. (Also feel free to talk to me if anyone wants to do art or OC content together, I'm shy but yes)

I tried to make him as accurate to the in-game model (emphasis on the tried). It should be indicated somewhere there what hairstyles I used were. And for the outfits, well, I initially just went with Work Clothes and Suspenders because it was one of the few outfits I had, then for the seasonal outfits I just thought "Well, if he's from the city, then maybe he has more modern clothes with him" HAHAHA, though I do want to have a specific outfit to go to for every season, I think that's just cool. Needless to say, Shinya's image color is Light Red.

Shinya's around 24 years old around the time he starts his farm (which I named Sauce Farm, for some reason), and as to explain how he has red hair while the rest of his known family's hair color is blonde/sandy brown, he's actually Daryl's child from a previous marriage. He pursues his dream to become a farmer to spite his father, who is reluctant to let him be one, to the point that he declined a lucrative job offer just to show him that he's not joking around when he says he says he wants to open a farm, causing Daryl to allow him to experience the farming life. Yes, he's a college graduate and he has a degree in Engineering.

An addition I added (according to my notes I'm taking all these from), is that he has a twin sister (my head's equivalent to Holly/Nanami) who's away from home herself, pursuing a Masters, who is pen pals with Kasumi, for some reason.

Also, Shinya used to be a delinquent when he was younger, though he seems to have softened over time. He's married to Ford and while a loving husband, is willing to make a few jokes at the latter's expense, usually around his attempts to be affectionate such as the time he lost a contest, Ford told him to "jump in his arms", flustering Shinya for a little before he bursts into laugher.

Personality-wise, I imagine Shinya to be a chill guy that likes to joke around and liven up the mood; depending on who he's with, he's either the straight man or the funny man of the group. Sometimes he can come off as rude or so, probably, but he usually means well; and sometimes he uses his fists to show gratitude too. He's a reliable person, I imagine, who uses his background in engineering to improve the three towns' infrastructure, beginning with South Westown's bridge. He's someone that probably wants everything to go well, or better, as planned so as to help him gain his father's approval, and will get sad or upset when things don't go his way or when he loses, though he would probably hide it under a smile, or something. I see him as someone who would do reckless and irrational decisions under extreme stress or possibly overwork himself, or at least stretch himself thin.

He enjoys fishing, he also likes horseback riding with his horse, Twi, whom he always rides when visiting the towns and doing part-time jobs. And though he still raises plants, ever since he was able to utilize Westown's mining nodes, he's spent more time mining than growing crops.

Despite Ford being a bad cook, Shinya seems to genuinely love his husband's cooking.

im not dead yet

i made a height chart for fun, i was only able to do the westown guys right now, though (uhh i think my art style changed along the way too)

these are just my headcanon's though (and shinya's my farmer character), so it's all for fun; i didn't draw the hats so it's less struggle to approximate heights and stuff LMAO so enjoy my headcanon of what brad and wayne look like without their headwear

a wip hehe

[trio-of-dumbasses]

i tried a different 4-panel structure and as much as i wish to dump the thing in one go, it's research paper revision 2: revenge of the panelists atm so this is 1/?

also, might do a colored piece sometime heeho

[trio-of-dumbasses]

i have learned that research paper revisions bring out the brainrot in me

its been a while since i did these kinds of stuff so forgive me for the crap quality so forgive me for the low quality

[trio-of-dumbasses]

i also have a bunch for 4koma ideas i just need to actually draw them but trio of towns is calling to me

and so is my research paper

[trio-of-dumbasses]

that one child unit from fe fates knows the feeling, kid

modern clothes on ford makes my hands draw him more accurately, i noticed that, i don't know why though

[trio-of-dumbasses]

maybe i should try telling that to that person i like that

[trio-of-dumbasses]

you could say i was glad i lost twice because if i didn't, i wouldn't have bothered spending a few minutes to squeeze this out of ford but at the same time, c'mon it was a byproduct level S cow

now im just coping

there is a dumb explanation to the nickname i swear- i love wayne tho he was my second option, seeing him sweep outside the post office during the rain was my most memorable moment with him

[trio-of-dumbasses]

finally got to playing trio of towns and stumbled upon the true love patch and i couldn't help myself so i decided to make some kind of dumb for the works here

anyways here's a funny drawing of my farmer shinya and ford

i actually have drawings of their kid but i still cant be bothered to name one of them because i accidentally gave one of the names to the pet dog i bought

"himbo x braincell is a god tier dynamic" - that one friend i've been gushing about these two to prior making this tumblr
