Maps and Hoo-Ha
I can announce I have completed the 80+ maps for the external areas of the Old Capitol Grounds! Huzzah! That means my next task is – to do the interiors! There are several major internal areas that are basically small dungeons: The Grand Imperial Hotel and the three Estates, as well as the large internal areas in Poterup, and Trafal is dotted with caves which are vital for navigation.
It has been exhausting but the end is in sight. I’m not going to set a timetable just yet on these. In other news, Hund is closing in on her project and the team is now going to be doing some charity art for a little bit since we helped with a charity event over the weekend.
QUESTION ME
Fan Art! Fan Art!
This stuff warms my heart. Really makes me want to get out of bed in the morning afternoon.
By Rawn. It’s the little touches in a design that always do it for me. I love the tiny little rilmani claws, it’s always nice when someone sees those and includes them.
By GetMoneyGhoul. I’m starting to think Maram would be a good Jojo protagonist, but she might be too powerful for most stand battles.
By Bella. Mei! Be careful, blood attracts sharks!
By qui. Let’s face it, we love Izuna for her brain and sense of justice, but being extremely cute isn’t hurting.
By Nomminus. See it’s funny, robot Christine just walks along the bottom of the ocean but mermaid Christine just fits so well, she’s perfect at being a mermaid.
By Kiri. Polaris you just need to accept that people find you cute!
By Shafaska. AGGHHH IT MOVED IT’S A G-G-G-G-GIF!
By qui. Okay this is the correct way to depict paws.
By Gensou. Not beating those Joestar allegations, Maram.
By Midnight Saint. NOT BEATING THOSE JOESTAR ALLEGATIONS, MARAM.
By Bee. No wait is this how you draw paws!?
By Farid. I had never known I wanted Suit Maram, now I only want Suit Maram.
By Mocca Chi. Just two alive maids goofing off after work!
By Matsu. I showed this to Chic and she was legitimately surprised by it. She expected the heroes would get some fan art but never Mr. Tiro. She said, “I remember distinctly drawing the hat, otherwise I forgot this character.” Well I didn’t forget.
By Arkmist. And may lightning strike me down if Christine isn’t a cute raiju.
By Stardust Studio (good name!). We had a vote, middle-left and bottom-right tied for first. My vote is obviously SKULL HANDBAG.
By Ally. Holdup I think Sonic would be better if Sonic exploded into pieces when he got hit instead of rings. Anyone? Just me?
By Yu’er. Just a head’s up to people who want to make demons tempting: Make them really pretty but also kind and thoughtful and also not evil. Really works!
By Morux. I love the attention to Maram’s hair here, especially the little curls.
By dani. Hey dani, maybe stop KNOCKING IT OUT OF THE PARK you’re making the other artists look bad.
Hey Sora Maruell maybe stop KNOCKING IT OUT OF THE PARK. You’re giving all the other artists something to strive for!
By Keii. If I wasn’t already a furry this would have done it. Look at her little hands!
By Eleanor. This style is incredible and so cute, go give Eleanor a follow and then all your money and maybe property. Sell your car.
By Troll_z0r. Yes mirrors DO work underwater, but what really works is Maram’s sense of style. That’s universal.
By Shade. Fuck spoilers, Project Vivify deserves the limelight.
By a. Set off a YAP YAP cascade why don’t you.
By Saya. Once again, the attention to detail of the background chains with a transparent body. I don’t deserve these artists!
