💯A Voice From Gaza Needs Your Attention

Small art to the...faceless smiley guy in the new Broomtail episode.

Now. I have some theories(Thoughts?) about the new episode and its brief flashbacks to Genzou's past.

1) The involvement of the Faceless Smiley Guy.

In this panel, there's a text that says; "I must perform a thorough examination". I'm assuming that it was the smiley guy that told Genzou that because afterwards, Genzou (I assumed) replied; "what did you do?"

The mysterious man seems to either be a 'doctor' or some 'scientist' or, what I like to call, false healers(people who lies about one's health for money and sells false medicine.)

In the background though, it seems like that Genzou had confronted the man either outside another place or his house(or maybe his mother's?).

2) The involvement of the Mystery Man of Genzou's Mother's death(?)

In this Panel. It seems that the 'examination' the Smiling man did was a downer. Maybe he didn't bother helping Genzou's mother, maybe the smiling guy did something to Genzou's mother to increase whatever illness she was going through, or something far worse that I don't want to write it on here.

But obviously, whatever the Smiling Guy done. Genzou was forced/felt the need to put his own mother out of her suffering. I'm guessing that Genzou mercy-killed his own Mother. In the panel below the imagery of the brief image of his mother, Genzou seemed hesitant. Was it Genzou's mother begging her own son to kill her? Maybe.

3). Is the Smiley Guy a Top Hat person.

I mean. Come on. Doesn't that guy gives off Top Hat vibes? The crazy smile, the small silk hair and the shirt collar??

I have a feeling that this mystery guy has a cocky personality due to that grin. I mean, I "studied" a few characters with grins/smirk/smiles on their face (constantly) and they end up to be that one cocky, sly, bastardly character.

But hey.

That's just a theory.

A Game Theory‼️

Ahem...uhm. My thumb slipped.

My predictions may be wrong but eh. :]

OMFG SJKDKFKDKD THEY ALL LOOK SO CUTE!! The art style is so freaking amazing

A while ago I remembered I had art that I never shared mostly because of it being mostly me figuring out how to draw different body types and messing around with lighting. And it WAS so long ago that I touched this game. I recently played the last bit of arc 5 and suddenly, lo and behold, I’m here and present once more. Might as well share something while I suffer trying to learn animation! :)

I was very hesitant to even post these when I first made them if I’m being honest— I wasn’t even sure if I was able to since these were all scenes drawn in my style.

I love this game so much—

Ha, this time I got YOU! 

Now you’re ͓̞̠͛́ͅs̜̙͖̬͖̮̼ͤͩ̌́͗͗̀m̜͕̃͞ì̜̼͂͌ͣͪl̤̻̗͆ͧ̀ͅi̫̣̠̙ͪ̋̓͡n̄ͮ̀ͭ̀͌g̡͎̯ͩͥ for noooo reason! Hee hee hee!

I had the urge to try my hand at portraying one of my favorite moments from the No Mercy Run, and BOY do you not truly realize how much you need to learn and improve at until you draw comics 

I am writing to you with a broken heart 💔

After 557 days of war, displacement, and homelessness.

We have lived through very difficult days and intense fear. 😱😭 My daughter was born under bombardment, amidst the sounds of terror and the smell of gunpowder. She was born crying, not only because she was a hungry baby, but also because the world around her was burning. 🥹

My daughter now needs her most basic rights: milk, diapers, and clothes. But war is merciless and leaves us without patience.

I ask charitable people to extend a helping hand to a child who did not choose to be born amidst destruction, but rather deserves to live with dignity.

I hope you will help my family and my children and provide for their basic needs. 🙏🥺

Please donate to save my children

Note 2 self, never play Our Wonderland Remastered after watching an analog horror video with multiple close up jumpscare at 3am. Almost got two heart attacks...

(The CGs in the remastered is delicious as fuck omfg-)

HAAPAUY BDAY GIDGET

Please take a few minutes to watch the video and read this post.

I am writing these words after losing hope in everyone… except for you, my friends. Tumblr has a very large number of users, estimated in the millions . That’s an enormous number! But imagine, with all those of people, how would you feel if people saw you and ignored you? You’d feel deeply disappointed, right? Or maybe you’d even wish for death.

Have you ever wished for death? For me, I feel like I’d rather die than be ignored by everyone. If I wasn’t in desperate need of help, I wouldn’t ask anyone for it. I really need help.

Imagine for a moment that you have a small child you love dearly, and you’re forced to watch her suffer in front of your eyes. This isn’t just an imagination for me; it’s my reality. My family and I live this pain every day.

Please, be our hope. Be our voice. Be the ones who save us from despair. Don’t ignore us. Donate, even if it’s just $5 .

There are so many people reading this post right now. I beg anyone who sees these words to donate if they can, and if not, to share this post. Please, don’t leave us behind.

Be our family, or think of us as members of your own family, and save us from this suffering. No matter how small the amount, your help means the world to us. And if you can’t donate, share this post and add a few kind words to inspire others to help.

Aftermath of this question...

Kids, do NOT eat three bags of sour patch kids, two bags of skittles and some other sweets...I freaking spent half of my day throwing up, having a large sore stomach and being in pain. ALSO don't drink Monster after eating all of that... It makes it even worse. 😞

IMAGINE THIS (and I'm totally not on a sugar rush after eating three bags of sour patch kids, two bags of skittles, two slices of cake and cupcakes)

IMAGINE THE AKWARDNESS IN ARC 3 IF IGGY WAS A VEGAN XDDD.

In one of the scenes (the dinner scene yum yum), when Orlam revealed the lovely cooked meat (*coughs* Gennyzuo) and out of the blue, and somehow not seeing the orange beanie of his pookie, Iggy would tell Orlam;

"Ah, sorry. I don't eat meat. I'm vegan" <3

AND ORLAM WOULD BE SITTING THERE WITH HIS BROW RAISED THEN LOOK AT THE COOKED MEAT THAT HE HAD PERSONALLY PREPARED FOR IGNATIUS. AND IGGY WOULD JUST SIT THERE IN CONFUSION OF ORLAM'S DISCOMBOBULATED EXPRESSION SINCE HE PROBABLY WOULDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO THE MEAT, ORRRR IGGY WOULD WATCH ORLAM EAT THE MEAL HE HAD PREPARED FOR IGGY WHILE ORLAM'S LIKE;

'I killed that blind-horse ass bastard, only for Iggy to be a fucking vegan..."

Orrr, Orlam would probably convince that the Genzou meat is somehow vegan.

SORRY FOR THE CAPS, THRIVING ON MONSTER WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HONESTLY PLANNING ON DRAWING THIS IDEA VERY SOON. (BY VERY SOON I MEAN AFTER A WEEK (AND BY AFTER A WEEK, PROBABLY AFTER A MONTH-)))

HELP??? 🤣

LOL this is very funny though I'll be real that I don't think Iggy saying he's vegan would stop Orlam in any way, it's more about the shared symbolism of taking back power than about the eating itself fhfjdjd also have you seen that face he makes during that scene that is not the face of a man in his right mind who is going to listen to anyone... 🤣🤣🤣

if anything if Iggy tried to pull something like that it would probably lead to a similar game over with Orlam becoming convinced that iggy is purposely trying to play him for a fool 🤔

How To Make Your First Visual Novel

I'm yet again in a talkative mood, and as someone who has made/helped make over ten visual novels, I figured I would be Qualified™ to talk about it!

Step One: Pick Your Fighter... er... Engine!

Deciding the game engine you want to work in is the first step to having a game! Ren'Py is the most popular, free-to-use engine for visual novels, with tons of add-ons done by creators such as Devil Spiδεr and Feniks. Other commonly-used engines include Naninovel (an extension to Unity) and RPG Maker.

Step Two: Wait, What Goes In The Engine?

Whodathunk that for a visual novel, you need a story and visuals!

Clip Studio Paint has a series on making visual novel sprites, though any old art software works for making visual novel art. As for writing, I highly recommend Better Fountain, an extension to Visual Studio Code which enables to you to write in Fountain syntax. For music, I recommend Audiostock which gives access to hundreds of thousands of songs with their subscription service.

Step Three: But What Do I Do With All Of This?

Spoilers, your first visual novel... probably won't be your best. You have to make it to break the first timer's curse. Study your favorite visual novels, listen to other developers' processes, learn more about art/writing/music/etc., and remember that it doesn't have to be perfect. In a year of making visual novels, my work went from the left image, to the right:

You can do it too! Now go out there, and make visual novels!

(this meme reminds me so much of that CG/ Cutscene ngl gang...)

Anyways, Iggy x Bucks Axe for life. 🩵🪓🩵
