#SLAYTOBER Day 8:
The Witch

Words worth less than filth. Waste your breath, and be buried.

#SlayThePrincess

The Witch, illuminated by light that breaches the foliage of her den

Bumping this! I'm still searching for localizers for the following below. If that's you, or if you know someone who it fits, please reach out! This is a paid, short term, fully remote opportunity, though you must be in Ontario due to grant restrictions.

Hey game dev! Looking for Ontario-based localization partners (either a company or individuals) for:
- French
- German
- Japanese
- Simplified Chinese
- Spanish

These do not all have to be done by the same person. Must be comfortable working with queer themes/pronouns and complex narratives! Thanks

Thank you! She's also one of my favourites, I certainly won't be forgetting this Holy Tarot Card art piece either.

(I love the flowers and how the broken chain looks like it's becoming the feathers??)

Idk if it's normal to whip up a drawing for each day of an October challenge — I've been pumping out more pieces and giving myself less time than ever before, and it's so much fun

Being stuck in an opposing mindset for, maybe my whole life, I'm finding such value in "quality *through* quantity"

The subtle golden tint is doing wonders to this piece, everything is so good!!

The Tower.
#slaytheprincess #slaytober

The Tower from Slay the Princess, done digitally in messy black and white. She floats above you, a halo of white light rimmed with gold behind her. Golden beams shoot from the halo to the edges of the image. Her hands glow, or perhaps are haloed themselves. Large hands reach for her from the sides, giving her the illusion of wings. Your black feathers drift towards the unseen ground. The chain at her wrist is crumbling. Roses, feminine and romantic, grow behind her, a sharp contrast to the cruel woman depicted. You are so very small, and she is so very powerful.

Our news editor @kerrblimey.bsky.social has some advice for developers and PR reps looking to navigate the press slalom:

A quote from an article discussing how to engage with journalists that reads:

"No matter how cordial our correspondence, there might come a time when I have to report on you, your product, or your company in a way you no longer find beneficial or flattering. That is the job. Reporters are not an extension of your marketing department. We are not there to promote you, your product, or tailor headlines to meet your specific needs.

"Acknowledge this before you agree to an interview. Let the truth wash over you like a salve. You'll be better off for it."

#SLAYTOBER Day 7:
The Beast

Hidden by your shape. Stretched by your steps.
Behind you.

#SlayThePrincess

Two white eyes paired with the snaking, clawed shape of the Beast, with all but the end of her tail covered by shadow

#SLAYTOBER Day 6:
The Fury

"Give up"

#SlayThePrincess

The Fury, standing before the strands of thread beneath her. Unchained and unhindered.
