working on planning some Halloween themed illustrations!!

I realized I haven't been taking art as seriously as I'd like to for a while now, specially since I started uni. So I want to make efforts to plan my illustrations a little more

dude i was playing exocolonist and trying to unlock vace in the main menu and it was SO hard dude like omfg... but i did it, i got him finally...

I'm slowly working on 100%ing this game

marta 🌱COMMS OPEN!🌱 @sh1mejinn.bsky.social · 27d

For my VN I think low saturation works best. But for future drawings I really want to explore higher saturation and more vibrant colors. I feel like my style is a bit dull and I'd like to change that

marta 🌱COMMS OPEN!🌱 @sh1mejinn.bsky.social · 28d

Totally planning on playing it as soon as I have time!!! Congrats!! 🥺

Thank you!!

Finally finished Luka's sprite!!

I simplified the clothes a ton, there's still a LOT left in terms of development so I'm taking it easy considering my limitations in digital art rn!

I'm almost done coding in everything I have so far and then I'll start making Luka's sprite

marta 🌱COMMS OPEN!🌱 @sh1mejinn.bsky.social · Sep 8

I'm at that phase where I don't even know if this is a good idea for a story anymore but it's too late for me to change it 😭 oh well!!! I'll just have to trust myself

im getting to the hard part of the code and doing my absolute best not to lose my mind (i can do this)

marta 🌱COMMS OPEN!🌱 @sh1mejinn.bsky.social · Sep 8

If I have the time, I want to work on some traditional art tomorrow, I miss picking up my watercolors

marta 🌱COMMS OPEN!🌱 @sh1mejinn.bsky.social · Sep 7

Plan for tomorrow:

- finishing importing the script and figure out branching and choices

- more concept art and finishing Luka's sprite

- start drafting the endings

marta 🌱COMMS OPEN!🌱 @sh1mejinn.bsky.social · Sep 7

Introducing the very initial concept sketch of my MC for the VN I'm developing! I'm testing out the engine since I've never used it before.

Mostly just resizing the images tonight and importing a chunk of the initial dialogue

FINALLY I am on schedule.... I took care of all the initial concept sketches that will serve as placeholders, did basic character concepts and started the project go figure out resizing and basic dialogue programming...

marta 🌱COMMS OPEN!🌱 @sh1mejinn.bsky.social · Sep 7

largely incomprehensible sketches detail-wise but here's some early concept sketches for my VN's backgrounds!!

I'm getting a lot better at bgs so I'm pretty proud of myself 😭😭

i had an epiphany while writing the script and the direction of the story became a little clearer... I'm very excited

marta 🌱COMMS OPEN!🌱 @sh1mejinn.bsky.social · Sep 3

I'm a pretty slow writer... But I need to keep going 🙏

marta 🌱COMMS OPEN!🌱 @sh1mejinn.bsky.social · Sep 3

The progress on the game script has been pretty slow so far but at least I have all my ideas written down on my notebook... I'm gonna try to get at least 1k more words written today
