Me Thinking About Going For Another Ride Right After Water Tubing

OC commission I did for a friend of mine. Has inspirations from their main FFXIV character, with filled out traits from what they wanted me to write for a D&D campaign I DM'd for them. I'll link their edits with additional BGs in replies.

we've been doing this thing called "hitting the nosferatu" where you hunch your shoulders and walk towards things while pointing with a long creepy finger

Hyper Light Breaker: Meet Dro

Who was Dro?

Whoever she was, she is now transformed. What does she want?

And what is the pain behind her howl?

A glimpse into our wordless storytelling.

Hyper Light Drifter was a game well-known for its wordless storytelling. A quick Google search will yield dozens of videos and articles discussing the art of worldbuilding without words.

As Jake Theriault artfully describes in his analysis of the opening sequence of Drifter:

“We discover all we need to know about the world in one wordless sequence. And from there on out, all the discovery made by the player is done visually.”

While Hyper Light Breaker will not be entirely devoid of text (there will be UI and some loadout descriptions), we have made the decision to lean back into our strengths and reveal our world and mysteries therein through illustrated vignettes.

There is so much about the Hyper Light universe to discover. With Breaker, we’re excited to share more about the history of the world that led to the events of Drifter.

Our Character Artist, Isaak Ramos, has established a house style for our studio, inspired by the works of Katsuhiro Otomo.

Some key aspects include:

Clearly defined straights and minimal curves

Shading using a halftone pattern (and/or halftone+flat value)

And reasoning includes:

Effectively receives color blend modes

Meaningfully calls back to our influences and to our past without resorting to pixels

Adds gravity/seriousness

Quickly creates a more finished aesthetic that will support looser lines and different drawing styles

Let us hear from you!

What do you think about this return to wordless storytelling? And our panel art style?

And what’s going on with Dro?

Reblog if you think it’s okay to platonically say “I Love You” to your friends

Duo sketch I did of a couple of OCs.

Left in blue is Amber, right in yellow is @fru1tycak3 's Gardenia. They grab coffee and go for a walk when they're not busy with work or under extreme duress.

Love this take on the character! I've seen fru1tycak3's iterations of this character a lot since her inception, and I love seeing what they've done with it!

One again, a great artistic impression of Miss Gardenia

(Artist: @/cloud-ya)

(I've finally commissioned someone outside the people I know, lmao.)

This is the fourth-ish iteration of my rabbit; Miss Gardenia Dubosquet!

A lot has happened since the last look I got for her. Long story short; yet another dead game. But the group, aside from the GM, has stayed together since then! We've got a few games running between us now, and another opportunity to have her in a game.

Won't yap too much about it; It's just nice to have her being weird at people again. And this time, she's French too.

happy fourth of july to the philippines ONLY

whenever people are like "bloober team aren't that bad, they understand horror" i think of this clip of jerma playing 'layers of fear'
