Two other OCs of mine: Alistair (right) and Bean (left)

They're very dear to me because first of all, Bean is my first ever OC, like, literally :D

And Alistair gotta be my most iconic character design AND personality wise!

Some additional sketches to my previous post (aka Dawn's ref sheet) because I felt like it.

Some proper Dawn ref-sheets because the last one sucks (along with some cool facts)

My fav girlfailure because her story is on my mind all the time nowadays.

Someone kill me I beg of you

Anyways uh yeah I wanted to give Flora a redesign today- again.... But one more simple, more replicable, this ended up draining all of my will to live because there were so many things I felt like I had to do today (see my previous post) and this wasn't even on the list so it kind of just... Happened.

And especially because my brain wasn't letting me do a rough, super fast sketch like it lets me with traditional art which is reallllly annoying, BRAIN IF YOU CAN HEAR ME UP THERE, TURN OFF THE PERFECTIONISM IT'S TOO EARLY FOR THAT! THAT'S WHY YOU NEVER FINISHED THOSE 4 ANIMATICS LAST YEAR!

Anyways to cool off I shall now give you some fun facts about Flora Galdur :D

- Flora is the (now retired) goddess of magic! Still immune to dying of old age though which sucks

- To try and cure her clinically severe depression she magicked herself a kid made from moss 11 years ago

- That kid is named Kenneth (Kenny) Iris Galdur, and he's currently in his "I eat unhappy meals now, mom >:(" phase (he's still a sweet summer child but is embarrassed of being openly affectionate)

- Flora's near constant insomnia isn't caused by her trauma and depression, but in fact her kid. I mean sucks to be you woman you chose to raise a boy-

- MAMA BEAR

- Flora is the type of person to not ask why you need a human skull and then pulls out 7 pristine ones

- Muroko tried his best to cheer Flora up about becoming a goddess against her will by showing her the luxuries :D

- Saved the best one for last here- FLORA IS A WANTED WOMAN BY TENEBRIS, THE SECOND MOST POWERFUL BEING IN THIS UNIVERSE, HIMSELF.

I'll let y'all theorize why

Hint: Tenebris is the Entity of the Afterlife

having the time of his life

sleep paralysis

acht reference sheet or something idk how these work

note that the thing on their right arm has a sort of plastic or glass case around it but i couldn't get that to look accurate at all

also cw bald

A fun animation exercise! :D

yet another reason to get firefox

🎮 HEY I WANNA MAKE A GAME! 🎮

Yeah I getcha. I was once like you. Pure and naive. Great news. I AM STILL PURE AND NAIVE, GAME DEV IS FUN! But where to start?

To start, here are a couple of entry level softwares you can use! source: I just made a game called In Stars and Time and people are asking me how to start making vidy gaems. Now, without further ado:

SOFTWARES AND ENGINES FOR PEOPLE WHO DON'T KNOW HOW TO CODE!!!

Ren'py (and also a link to it if you click here do it): THE visual novel software. Comic artists, look no further ✨Pros: It's free! It's simple! It has great documentation! It has a bunch of plugins and UI stuff and assets for you to buy! It can be used even if you have LITERALLY no programming experience! (You'll just need to read the doc a bunch) You can also port your game to a BUNCH of consoles! ✨Cons: None really <3 Some games to look at: Doki Doki Literature Club, Bad End Theater, Butterfly Soup

Twine: Great for text-based games! GREAT FOR WRITERS WHO DONT WANNA DRAW!!!!!!!!! (but you can draw if you want) ✨Pros: It's free! It's simple! It's versatile! It has great documentation! It can be used even if you have LITERALLY no programming experience! (You'll just need to read the doc a bunch) ✨Cons: You can add pictures, but it's a pain. Some games to look at: The Uncle Who Works For Nintendo, Queers In love At The End of The World, Escape Velocity

Bitsy: Little topdown games! ✨Pros: It's free! It's simple! It's (somewhat) intuitive! It has great documentation! It can be used even if you have LITERALLY no programming experience! You can make everything in it, from text to sprites to code! Those games sure are small! ✨Cons: Those games sure are small. This is to make THE simplest game. Barely any animation for your sprites, can barely fit a line of text in there. But honestly, the restrictions are refreshing! Some games to look at: honestly I haven't played that many bitsy games because i am a fake gamer. The picture above is from Under A Star Called Sun though and that looks so pretty

RPGMaker: To make RPGs! LIKE ME!!!!! NOTE: I recommend getting the latest version if you can, but all have their pros and cons. You can get a better idea by looking at this post. ✨Pros: Literally everything you need to make an RPG. Has a tutorial inside the software itself that will teach you the basics. Pretty simple to understand, even if you have no coding experience! Also I made a post helping you out with RPGMaker right here! ✨Cons: Some stuff can be hard to figure out. Also, the latest version is expensive. Get it on sale! Some games to look at: Ib, Hylics, In Stars and Time (hehe. I made it)

engine.lol: collage worlds! it is relatively new so I don't know much about it, but it seems fascinating. picture is from Garden! NOTE: There's a bunch of smaller engines to find out there. Just yesterday I found out there's an Idle Game Maker made by the Cookie Clicker creator. Isn't life wonderful?

✨more advice under the cut. this is Long ok✨

ENGINES I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT AND THEY SEEM HARD BUT ALSO GIVE IT A TRY I GUESS!!!! :

Unity and Unreal: I don't know anything about those! That looks hard to learn! But indie devs use them! It seems expensive! Follow your dreams though! Don't ask me how!

GameMaker: Wuh I just don't know anything about it either! I just know it's now free if your game is non-commercial (aka, you're not selling it), and Undertale was made on it! It seems good! You probably need some coding experience though!!!

Godot: Man I know even less about this one. Heard good things though!

BUNCHA RANDOM ADVICE!!!!

-Make something small first! Try making simple: a character is in a room, and exits the room. The character can look around, decide to take an item with them, can leave, and maybe the door is locked and you have to find the key. Figuring out how to code something like that, whether it is as a fully text-based game or as an RPGMaker map, should be a good start to figure out how your software of choice works!

-After that, if you have an idea, try first to make the simplest version of that idea. For my timeloop RPG, my simplest version was two rooms: first room you can walk in, second room with the King, where a cutscene automatically plays and the battle starts, you immediately die, and loop back to the first room, with the text from this point on reflecting this change. I think I also added a loop counter. This helped me figure out the most important thing: Can This Game Be Made? After that, the rest is just fun stuff. So if you want to make a dating sim, try and figure out how to add choices, and how to have affection points go up and down depending on your choices! If you want to make a platformer, figure out how to make your character move and jump and how to create a simple level! If you just want to make a kinetic visual novel with no choices, figure out how to add text, and how to add portraits! You'll be surprised at how powerful you'll feel after having figured even those simple things out.

-If you have a programming problem or just get confused, never underestimate the power of asking Google! You most likely won't be the only person asking this question, and you will learn some useful tips! If you are powerful enough, you can even… Ask people??? On forums??? Not me though.

-Yeah I know you probably want to make Your Big Idea RIGHT NOW but please. Make a smaller prototype first. You need to get that experience. Trust me.

-If you are not a womanthing of many skills like me, you might realize you need help. Maybe you need an artist, or a programmer. So! Game jams on itch.io are a great way to get to work and meet other game devs that have different strengths! Or ask around! Maybe your artist friend secretly always wanted to draw for a game. Ask! Collaborate! Have fun!!!

I hope that was useful! If it was. Maybe. You'd like to buy me a coffee. Or maybe you could check out my comics and games. Or just my new critically acclaimed game In Stars and Time. If you want. Ok bye

OK posting this OCs interacting with my hyperfixation meme I made becauseeee I am cringe! :D

With obviously on the right, Hero and Assok from TpoH, and on the left, my OC Lucy and her pal Chip.

Some aggie art of my cutie patootie Lucy

(the man on the second pic is her father figure, my other OC Oculus)

(PLEASE DON'T COMPARE HIM TO DAMN SEEK I SWEAR)

Okk byeeee :D

Having such a silly and wacky OC is so cool because you can imagine them either burning a city down, or eating a whole rotisserie chicken in no time.

Anyway her name's Bean and I love her follow me if you like decent arttt!!!

My OC Lucy✨ (pronounced Loo-cy)

Storyline

She's (well, used to be) a 7 year old that died of something she don't remember , and in her afterlife, she ends up in a place beyond human comprehension.

Surviving weird creatures and phenomenons.

And she has to bear the fact she doesn't remember any of her past memories.

For now, she's just part of a story roaming through my head, but I plan to make it into a big project one day!

I made her in like, 2020, when liminal spaces and "weirdcore" started to trend, with of course big inspirations from various medias (liminal spaces and weircore as a whole) including my favorite webcomic of all time: TpoH.

Thanks for seeing this if you do!

When the sudden burst of inspiration just gives you a masterpiece:

Persona redesign time!

I don't think you know but I redesigned my persona A LOT since the start of my "art journey" as I wouild call it.

I feel like the main reason I changed the design is because first, something changed my whole brain chemistry, and second, because I now have a hat like this irl!

How cool is that!!!

So anyway, I wish you a nice day and I'll see you later!

[Going on a Cryptid hunt!]

My art streak going good for now!!!

Enjoy this piece of my silly goose

SpoOoOoOoky vibessss!!!

Happy Halloween y'all! Have this nice lil' artwork I just finished (1am) to celebrate the spooky event, starring my boy Quinn!

Two characters design studies I did recently.

They're different characters from different I created.

If you're curious about them, you can totally ask!

I'm just posting 'em for fun.

Drew the silly anxious jester, she's so cool.

Along with the parasite because Bubble is also very cool.

Hi! I'm new on here, and I wish to meet more people to chat and maybe, share my interests with!

I'm Harpi. I use she/her pronouns

(also please no nsfw)

I'm interested in Art, video games, shows and many indie projects (like on YouTube)

I also make art! Both traditional (mostly doodles) and digital!

Here are some of my art:

I hope you enjoy my artworks!

For now, if anyone sees this, I wish you a nice day!
