Hi ! I'm N8ptune ! Aspiring Character Designer and Game Developer
I also draw the occasional fanart for my fav pieces of media like Detective Grimoire, Professor Layton, Crow Country, Doctor Who, Zelda, and more...
And I made a game with a few friends which you can check out on Itch ! (link in bio)

A screenshot from the game I developped with friends : Hypno-Quest

The protagonist ( Leeda ) is on the left, facing a sphynx-like creature leaning on top of a gate and guarding a path to a tower in the distance

Key art of my OC Yu, a rookie detective

He is standing with his motorcylce helmet under his left arm and right hand on his hip

Concept Art of my OC Ali Al'Set, an alchemist working as a barista to pay her rent

Poses descriptions :
- ( left ) Ali holds a potion bottle doubling as a coffee cup in a fighting stance, arguing with someone who's not in the shot
- ( Up-right corner ) Ali is sat on the ground, leaning on her right hand, slumped and bored
- ( Middle, down ) Ali is sweating from hard working, she's squatting down to pick potion bottles from her bag, open in front of her
- ( Down-right corner ) Ali is standing up with her right hand in her right back pocket and drinking coffee from a potion bottle she's holding up with her left hand

A fanart for SFB's game Crow Country

The protagonist ( Mara Forest ) is standing, wary, gun in hand in front of a giant mechanical crow, with a smaller crow on her head ( referencing Penny Pointer from SFB's other game Tangle Tower )
At her feet lie goopy creatures from the game resembling human or animal remains with bones sticking out

@projectpathaction.bsky.social 's Monthly Project prompt 7,8,9 : Dancer, Starseer, Inventor

"Having been fueled by his motivation for revenge for so long, Kipp has since lost sight of his path and tries to walk down a few different ones to find it back."

( full designs in the replies )

Kipp trying and failing at different jobs.
First as a Dancer, where he falls on stage, then as a Starseer, looking up at a cloudy sky, and finally as an Inventor, being sprayed in the face with hot water pouring out of a leak in his invention.

The three 'Congratulations!' pictures you can get after completing Crow Country on hard mode (B, A and S rank)
I had fun posing the characters to make these.

I was doing so good as well- I got to the last phase and then panicked 👍

N8ptune @n8ptuneonmars.bsky.social · 2d

Haha guess what......... T.T

2025 will begin another round of the Monthly Project, so if you particiated before and want to again, great!

Or if you're new and have been observing it and want to try it out yourself, also great!

Three prompts in one this time ! :D
And, honestly, so proud of how the designs and the illustration came out-
I tried to experiment a bit more, especially with the designs, and I'm so glad I did 'cause the Starseer and Inventor designs are some of my favorites I've done for this project :)

☘️ ART RAFFLE TIME (kinda?) ☘️

I wanna paint fur so drop your characters below. I'll pick one to be my guinea pig for a painting practice :3
I'll also draw sketches of other characters that grab my attention (furry or not, both are okay).
Must be a follower! Ends on Oct 10.

Fanart of Hornet and the Knight from Team Cherry's games "Hollow Knight" and "Hollow Knight : Silksong" as humans

N8ptune @n8ptuneonmars.bsky.social · 4d

Told myself I wouldn't do it but eh why not : Hornet and the Knight human designs

#silksong #hollowknight #fanart
( not sure I'll finish them but still #wip )

N8ptune @n8ptuneonmars.bsky.social · 5d

Why is drawing hard...?

I swear I'm getting there with the OT Monthly-
Late ( as hell ) but still ! I just have the colors of the illustration left :)

( and then I'll have to start working on the October prompt- but that should be easier... right ? hopefully- )

I am working hard on story missions but don't worry I am still doing some "useless" cosmetic improvements!

The windows now follow the different weathers of the game to bring more life to villages! 🌸

Since it's my birthday... Would it be much trouble to ask for some likes and reposts for my art? 🫣 Here's some pieces of mine! 🥰

I mostly just draw Octopath CotC fanart, but it's my favourite game, so, yeah!

I'm also the admin of a little collab project called @projectpathaction.bsky.social

A compilation of all of the 2024 Monthly Leon drawings by BLAZlNGBLADE

He is dressed in various designs to represent the 12 Jobs of Octopath Traveler (OT1) and Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent (CotC).

A half body drawing of Oskha from Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent.

It features Oskha in the Golden Palace's final layer, the Silver Fountain. He stands with a a hand extended forwards, a ring glowing red and a purple swirl creating an ominous aura is there.

There is text reading "Congrats on the implentation of Oskha!!".

The "OCTOPATH" of Champions of the Continent. Each are representing their letter that begins their name.

O - Orsazantos
C - Ceraphina
T - Tatrocha
O - Oskha
P - Pardis III
A - Auguste
T - Tytos
H - Herminia

There is text reading "Happy 4th Anniversary" and "Champions of the Continent".

A half body drawing of Leon and Elletrix from Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent.

The two are standing close together, arms around one another in a loving embrace. Both are looking into the others' eyes. The background is a soft pink sunset over the horizon of the ocean.

Happy birthday !! :D
And good luck with the move !

N8ptune @n8ptuneonmars.bsky.social · 12d

Why am I looking at clips of the Radiance's fight from Hollow Knight after beating Silksong thinking "yeah this seems like an easy fight" when I couldn't even beat it in the first place and still haven't-
but I swear it looks so much easier now 😭 ( I know I'm still not gonna be able to beat it tho )

N8ptune @n8ptuneonmars.bsky.social · 14d

Looking at the designs I did for the OT Monthly Project from January to June, in contrast to those I'm currently working on, I genuinely feel like I've improved so much-

I mean the July one is a bit messy- but the other two I'm so proud of

It took me a while but I'm finally locking in XD

N8ptune @n8ptuneonmars.bsky.social · 14d

Funny how easier it becomes to design when you actually look at references... would have never guessed... how peculiar... truly extraordinary...

OMG we got a new Layton trailer :O
The game was delayed to 2026 but still- Layton news ! Aaaah!
