I've been drawing some icons for Elskold characters as of late!
Officially got to 12 so far, which makes a nice grid to share 😌

A sheet with a 4x3 grid of character icons. Row 1: Melilot, Fabales, Jorunna, Corvus Row 2: Huifang, Byb'Laio, Eurik, Grimmur Row 3: Fianna, Guillaume, Linelle, Tiaca

Winter cozy time 😌❄️⛄️
An illustration of my persona in cozy festive winter clothes, engulfed by a red and green-striped scarf. She is holding a mug of tea and a small puff of mist is coming from her mouth.

Having a garden in my bedroom is all fun and games until the moment I have to wake up during the day and open my eyes to the full force of these artificial suns ●︿●
A photograph of an indoor hydroponic garden filled with plants. Several immensely bright grow lamps beam so much light into the camera that the lamps seem to smear.

Wanted to make a timeline for how my design philosophies and skill level in regards to Elskold character design has evolved from its inception in 2017 to now and crikey... O.O

You can *definitely* tell when things like Genshin started to influence me x')

#Elskold #ocs
A timeline showing my evolution in character design (specifically for Elskold) from 2017 to 2025, grouped together as: 2017: Quite simplistic and minimalistic designs with little finesse, quite chibi 2019: Anatomy and shading has improved, still quite chibi 2020: Designs are starting to become more sleek and coherent, starting to move away from Sackboy-esque proportions 2024: Designs are far more refined, skill has increased dramatically. Proportions are much more realistic, though still quite anime-like. The style is quite Pokémon-like Early 2025: Designs are more detailed than before, starting to really come into itself Late 2025: Designs are quite intricate with greater refinement and finesse. Overall compositions move away from being Pokémon-like to Genshin-like

Jorunna is filled with infinite wisdom, truly 🐸

#Elskold #oc #comic
A comic featuring Melilot, Fabales, and Jorunna. Mel is having an anxiety spiral about drawing something. Fabales is trying to comfort her but Mel is TOO in her head. Jorunna is just... there. Panel 1: Fabales has her hand on Mel's shoulder, trying to comfort her, saying, "Hey Mel, babe... Don't push yourself too hard. It's okay if it isn't perfect." Panel 2: Melilot says, "But my brain just. isn't. working!!!" Panel 3: Jorunna is thinking, saying, "Y'know, Pebble doesn't worry about being the perfect frog. She just... frogs. And that's enough." Panel 4: Jorunna continues, "The world still has Pebble in it, so it's beautiful. You're like Pebble but for art." Pebble, a small nudibranch-like frog sits very derpily like a little squidge, front and center with sparkles and shines around her. Panel 5: Mel.exe stops working. Fabales is trying SO HARD not to laugh because it's ABSURD but also... it worked??? Panel 6: Mel starts crying (happy overwhelmed crying) and now she's praising Jorunna for being so wise and hugging her. Jorunna is just "??? I was just thinking about Pebble???"

GUESS WHO JUST DISCOVERED OBSIDIAN? >:D

I've done all of this in the past 8 hours. Send help. I might be insane.

There is a file viewer on the left, a wiki-style entry on Ousionic Particles in the center, and a massive net graph of this Elskold repository on the right.

More sounds! 🔊
This time, SFX for the "elemental totems". If we're gonna have objects you need to shoot to activate, they better have a satisfying hit sound! 😈

Audio ON for this one! 🔊
Coding a "game jukebox" for #KatFS that automatically transitions between ambient and combat music. I'm aiming to make it feel dynamic and avoid flip-flopping between combat and ambience. 🤘

Happy Oktoberfest! 🍻 (In Brazil? More likely than you think!)

A look into the world of Kalia beyond #KatFS, inspired by the Southern regions of Brazil, which I hope to be able to explore in her future journeys.

Sometimes, the best inspiration is home 🤘

#art #BRart #indiegame #character
Art showcasing two elf women dressed in traditional Bavarian-style outfits and dancing, while Kalia plays the accordion next to her. They are dancing in the middle of a town plaza, surrounded by Brazilian-Germanic styled buildings and lush green mountains visible in the horizon. A maypole can be seen behind them, decorated with magical flair. A tall tower also stands out, with a bright magical device contained at its top.

In #KatFS, Kalia will sometimes have to collect special items to activate certain devices, such as power crystals. I've been revamping the way "key-lock" interactions work, so that they behave nicely with the save system changes. Plus, you can see them being carried now! 😈
