After not vibing with its mechanics at all back then when the game came out, I finally finished Rain World! and I loved it!! a lot!!!

(by "finished" I mean I played Survivor + Monk in that order, I'm still making my way through the other campaigns)

AWW scug full of soup🫵🫵

the base colour really does end up being a big part of the whole colours and that's kinda on purpose. to me, it helps keep the colours more harmonious, it keeps the whole thing having a similar vibe

you could try to put more opaque colours over the base colour, or try putting colours over the base colour with a different brush.

for choosing the base colour(and most other colours), I kinda try to think about what colour palette I want my drawing to have. like I'll decide, "I want this whole thing to be very blue, I'm gonna make the base colour blue, the shadows more purple and the highlight's more cyan", i only do this when im drawing pretty dramatic lighting tho

when I don't have lighting that dramatic, I choose it based on the colours of the thing I'm drawing, like a slugcat, they're mostly white so i'd choose a pastel colour. I try to pick a base colour similar in darkness to the colour of the thing(light=lighter base colour, dark=darker base colour)

(I think about both of these things when I'm choosing my base colour, I just consider one or the other more depending on how dramatic the lighting is)

lots of time when I'm drawing the base colour is also too visible for me so I put filters over it till its closer to the colours I want.

also, often when I'm drawing I put swatches of the colours I'm using next to the drawing. so when the base colour is shining though to much I just go over it again with the colour

they're like these little dots of colour so I can colour pick them easily

this was a stage of my watcher art, the colours look way different then they do in the finished thing. I accidentally made the base colour too light and didn't put the colours over it opaque enough, so I put filters over it to make it darker. in most of my drawings the colours look pretty different when I stared to when it's finished

Remember that you don't have to listen to this exactly tho! ^^ experiment however you want with your art lol

@willjelly my attempt at replicating ur style!! :D How do u go about ur colors, and choosing your base color, because the base ends up being the whole main thing

[willjelly]

can't read all of this yet cause I've only gotten one of the endings

I already got that the watcher was probably a kid from the toy room ending, but this made me realize spinning top was a child too noooooo😭😭

I dont wanna be bawling about this ending a second timeee

The Abandoned Children of The Watcher DLC (a ramble)

(Spoilers ahead, obviously, but this is just a quiet sort of pondering I've been having with myself, feeling an ache so profound where the child in me - lost and afraid and so, so cold - resides.)

I love the thematic change that the Watcher DLC presents us with. I know it's been a point of complaint for many, and to each their own, but I can't help but feel that throwing aside these painful, heartfelt themes, writing them off as rushed design is doing the beauty of the tale that we've been given a disservice.

Rain World - the base game - felt primal. You are an animal, wandering the world - eating, fighting, running and dying, thinking and moving like a rat in a maze, the maze being a god you could never truly hope to understand. And why would you? You have a family to find, and even they are soon forgotten in the pressure of the cycle, drowned out by the rain and the echoing, burning call of the Void.

The Downpour DLC was much more narrative-driven. It was character-based and iterator-focused, putting emphasis on these dying gods that feel less like gods and more like abandoned children, growing in their lonesome and their bitterness, losing themselves in their self-destructive tendencies until there's nothing left but metal slag and somewhat-organic rubble. That seems to be a repeated theme, here.

The Watcher DLC feels much more... personal.

A tale of two children, abandoned, never made to grow up. The Watcher themselves, so plagued by naiveté, busying themselves with toys instead of confronting what the little lost echo tried to tell them.

Spinning Top searching endlessly with a tragic sort of fervor for any evidence that anyone ever missed them, never having been taught the weight of what they were supposed to do, only doing what others did, what they were taught was right, and nothing more. A child, a little girl playing with spinning tops and plushies, made to ascend through that "white door" and leave the reality that they had just barely begun to set foot in behind.

The Prince, even, simply… learning. Growing. A toddler, smashing and breaking and rotting all in its path with delight, seeing what he's doing as something so wonderful. The tragic part about it is that he truly does - for all that he represents, he means well, but the Cycle is callous and omnipotent and cares not for the wishes of a mere child.

A cold, golden hand, marked with an X and sprouting flowers from its palm.

An endless repeating pattern that will consume you utterly if it so wishes.
