Aspercreme Rocko,

I am your ACTUAL biggest fan. You must animate Noelle turning into a Nintendo Gamecube console. Do not disappoint me.

A mostly black & white 2-panel comic featuring the characters Isabeau, Siffrin, and Mirabelle from In Stars and Time.
Panel 1: Isabeau is alone with part of the UI from the program Clip Studio Paint in the background. He’s holding a color wheel that looks like it’s on a glass pane while his free hand index finger hovers over it. He’s looking down at the pane with wide, shiny eyes, and his mouth open in awe. He says, “Oooooh…” with wavy text, followed by, “brain-hurty shades…”

Panel 2: Isabeau has dyed his hair full-saturation, full-brightness fuchsia. He faces Siffrin and Mirabelle with his back to the camera and his arms flung out dramatically. He’s yelling “FLASHBANG!!!” with a big smile on his face. Rays of bright light shoot out from his hair. Siffrin is cringing and squinting directly into the light with a look of pained disgust on their face. Mirabelle is turning away with her eyes squeezed shut and her hands shielding her face. Hit point numbers hover above the two. Siffrin takes 36 points of damage while Mirabelle takes half that because she’s guarding.

2024 November 2nd

(You see a vision of the fuchsia.)

Context and some BlueBead Drawing Workflow Lore™: I convert a copy of my line art to pixel art by crunching it with levels and posterization so that I can quickly paint bucket in flat colors. However, when making the flats layer, I fill it in with a "missing texture" bright fuchsia first so I know if I missed any spots or if there's orphaned pixels.

While working on my last major drawing, Isabeau and Siffrin got to rock some fuchsia hair dye and Mirabelle got to enjoy a flashy shawl for a while because I thought they looked cool. And out of that trio, I deemed Isa most likely to inflict minor psychic damage on his friends for the bit. 😆

A close-up, the WIP Fuchsia Gang, and more rambling under the cut

A close-up of Siffrin’s and Mirabelle’s reactions to being flash-banged from panel 2 of the previous comic. Instead of hit point numbers, there’s now faint text saying, “(You can’t control your expression fast enough.)” above Siffrin’s head.

Gosh I love drawing disgruntled / disgusted expressions so much, you can get so scrunchy with them. I think drawing stupid facial expressions is my favorite part of being an artist, genuinely. 😂

A drawing work-in-progress of the characters Isabeau, Odile, Siffrin, Mirabelle, and Bonnie posing together. The drawing is in the phase where the line art is being filled in with flat colors, but there’s bright fuchsia in some places: Isabeau’s hair, Siffrin’s hair dye, and Mirabelle’s shawl.

WIP of [this drawing] from October 15th! Siffrin with partial pink hair dye unironically slaps in my opinion.

Time taken on the comic was 20 hours and 31 minutes. Been trying to speed things up, but I was having too much fun playing with new line art brushes and special effects. I'm getting better at ignoring tiny inconsequential things I'd want to endlessly tweak though!

Will I ever draw in the same art style twice in a row? Who knows. :) I've been slowly trending towards the style I draw my OCs in, but it's not fully there yet, lol.

Is this post spoilers??? I feel like it's only spoilers if you know the right context for things, but heck it, it gets spoiler tagged.

"Sekhmet killing its pilot" is actually a statistical error. The average Sekhmet kills 0 friendlies. Sekhmet Georg, who cascaded in a cave & kills over 10,000 each year, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

I thought I should restore an old post that was erased along with my old account

Deltarune: EVERAFTER - a little funny idea that came into my head.

The Dark Worlds here are based on various fairty tales instead of contents in their rooms.

For example, the kingdom of Ralsei takes the "Little Red Riding Hood" as it's core, which is why the heroes of legend acquire new unique outfits.
