when u get a little too used to the peace

As the flash hits your eye, you feel something crashing into you from all directions. Below you is obvious, Bonbon situated themself to bump into you while the picture was taken. You look to your right, and Mirabelle’s cheek is pressed up to yours. On your left, Isabeau’s sheepishly hugged you to his side. There’s a hand in your hair, too, and it feels like Madame Odile. [...] “We need a souvenir of this trip,” Mirabelle adds. She rushes to the ground to pick up the picture and snort-laughs as she looks at it. “Oh no, Siffrin looks like we’re holding him hostage!” — Curtain Call, Chapter 9, by @openphrase123 (Link in the replies)

Fanfic fanart fanfic fanart!! When I read the "hostage" line, it invoked such a clear image in my head of Siffrin tensed up like a startled prey animal that it got added to my list of things to maybe draw immediately.

Dooon't think about the words 'left' and 'right' in that quote too hard. I know how to read I prommy. :) (I did Not process those words and lost the coin flip in the composition phase...)

Close-up and ramblings about the cans of worms I unleashed upon myself under the cut

Time taken on this was [head in hands] 48 hours and 37 minutes.... That bloated number has two culprits:

1) I got a new tablet! My old one was 10 years old. Its plastic was melting and the electronics had ghosts in 'em, so it needed the sweet release of retirement. However, I had just gotten to the line art phase when the switch happened. Clumsily getting used to the new one during the most precise phase of the process did devastating things to my perfectionism.

2) I made a GRAVE mistake with how I chose to color this. I wanted to keep the grayscale layers for accuracy instead of just slapping a B&W filter over the colored version, so all the colors come from gradient maps, color balance layers, overlay layers, and raster layers clipped to other layers. Listen. I'm used to working with lots of layers. I like keeping things separate so I can edit them more easily. But this is the worst layer system I have ever created. Going from color to B&W requires toggling exactly 20 layers & folders on or off. There are 87 visible layers total. This file lags when you edit it. I've never wanted CSP v1.13 to have layer comps more in my life.

Not helping matters was Isabeau. I said he was the easiest to draw in my last post, but he took that as a challenge, apparently. It's a simple fist-on-hip pose, why was that so hard!?! His face gave me grief too.

Odile's lil' wave got added at the end of the line art phase. I've never added to a sketch that late in the game before, but I felt bad about how little screen area she got, haha. Girl, I tried, but this composition was not kind to you.

Giving Isa, Odile, and Siffrin skin colors felt cursed. Well... "color" is maybe a stretch for Sif. The pallor from being affection-jumpscared isn't helping. In the dev's nose reveal post, they said that Siffrin isn't white but is white-passing, so BOOM albinism headcanon. Like c'mon, they wear a big hat and have most of their skin covered because the sun is a deadly laser when you have little to no melanin and idk if sunblock exists in-universe. Heck, maybe most Islanders have it, their whole religion is about the night sky so maybe they're nocturnal. This makes perfect sense. :)

um, hey chat, is this anything,,?

Wooo Crystal Peak baby!

Masterpost

This, weirdly enough, was always the area I felt the most lonely in whenever I visited. There’s no NPCs to talk to aside from Cornifer and Quirrel, who pack up and leave soon after they visit. The sinister lore of the crystals makes it feel almost claustrophobic to be in. Those distant sounds of them being mined away at for eternity by infected bugs, along with the subtle hum of those very crystals in the music? Gosh, it’s just creepy, creepier than Deepnest in my opinion.

Uhh... I'm just gonna put it here..

of course i was worried sick!! thank change you're okay!

( a heartfelt reunion between nille and bonnie post-game )

YEAH I WAS THE SECOND ONE THAT WAS ME TRYING TO GET ALL THE OPTIONAL EVENTS AND LOOP'S DIALOGUES BEFORE ACT 4 THAT WAS ME I WAS THAT ONE

minimum loop count runs are actually so fucking funny to me

Place your bets on the winning hats by @starlightshore ruined me. Here's a redraw of an annimatic.

And here's the original but it's gore warning

I'm gonna add this

What is this? I'm not dead? What a miracle!

I had this idea beamed in my brain by some I'm-about-to-fall-asleep force and I went "WHERES MA PENCIL?!"

Anyways, enjoy the maybe platonic maybe not (up to viewers interpretation) loopdile.

Full under cut

Anyways I'll go to sleep now bye

HII HELLO, Looping family (but no one is saying it) au again. Yes that's what I'm calling it I'm so creative (<--- awful at names)

This is the first loop in act 4. You know. After the king. Yeah...

So the party decided to put two beds together and sleep everyone in the same place. With Bonnie in the middle. Where no kings couldn grab them again.

Bonnie is sleeping peacefully because they feel safe around the group (also yes, they already had their panic attack earlier but they feel a bit better now)

Here's a close up

And sketch under cut cause I work TO HARD on those legs to not add them.

Also, I have the full eraser for chapter 1 and almost half of chapter 2, now I just have to correct them and translate them. See ya!
