Can you draw more Amberprice? I loved your last one :D

Thank you 😊🙈 I’m glad you loved it! If I find time I might. I tend to only draw fanart when I’ve got a convention I’m tabling at coming up on my schedule, and presently I don’t really have anything on the horizon. Most of my (art) freetime is spent working on my comic, which is ALSO about a yuri time travel romance, which may interest you 😘

Pink haired Link with Cucco

Photoshop CC, 2018

I’ve really grown to like the existence of Pink Haired Link, as you may or may not know for A Link to the Past. As a child I always found it very odd that his sprite had pink hair but the key character art did not. I imagine there was some technical reason for this, but regardless, Pink Haired Link is here to stay.

I really wanted to go for a very simple and cute slice-of-life moment of Link feeding a chicken, with Death Mountain and the Tower of Ganon distant but always in sight.

I also took some creative liberties with Kakariko Village and building placements.

I’ve been watching a lot of LTTP/SM randomizer tourney videos on youtube lately while I draw or veg out after work, which helped inspire me to draw this. Maybe I’ll do a Metroid one next. Make it Nausicaa-esque? Yeah, I kind of like the sound of that. Maybe with the lighting mood of the Brinstar Smash Bros level, but pastel-y?

Forward Rachel Amber

Photoshop CC, 2018

I really wanted to make some LiS: BtS fanart for a while and I finally made some in time for Crunchyroll Expo. This version is a tiny bit touched up from the version I initially finished with, though; added a chromatic abberation and lens vignette because I JUST LEARNED that Photoshop has that as a proper feature built in! Ugh.

Enjoy Your Delicious Moments

Poster Paint on Pizza Box Cardboard -- edited in Photoshop, 2018

I made this as part of an art show in my hometown at Inkblot Gallery. The art show was a reaction to that one awful generic pizza box that gets used a lot that has like 2-4 different art styles jammed together.

“Before They Leave” Art Asset examples

This is a small display of all of the art assets that were made for Before They Leave. Tons of expressions for each character, with Sam actually having a bunch of unused sprites in the final game. That may change in a future update with how I handle her side sprite.

Behind the Scenes - Hallie’s sketches, Photoshop layers, and RenPy’s LiveComposite

So generally speaking, this has been my first foray into making a game at all, but most of all a visual novel. I could have used static character sprites, but instead I chose to use a template system using RenPy’s LiveComposite feature.

That means making a bunch of character expression sprites that I exported separately from the plain base sprite.

In the coding, you wind up with something like this:

# HALLIE sprites # character sprites and animations! image hallie flirt = "images/hallie/hallie_flirt.png" image hallie engaged = "images/hallie/hallie_engaged.png" # lean expressions image hallie lean away = LiveComposite( (631, 942), (0, 0), "images/hallie/hallie_base2.png", (0, 0), "images/hallie/hallie_leanaway.png") image hallie lean towards = LiveComposite( (631, 942), (0, 0), "images/hallie/hallie_base2.png", (0, 0), "images/hallie/hallie_leantowards.png") # base expressions image hallie curious = LiveComposite( (631, 942), (0, 0), "images/hallie/hallie_base.png", (0, 0), "images/hallie/hallie_curious.png") image hallie smile = LiveComposite( (631, 942), (0, 0), "images/hallie/hallie_base.png", (0, 0), "images/hallie/hallie_smile.png")

Hallie wound up with 16 different sprite configurations, and she was the first finalized sprite that I worked on for the game as the focal point to build everything else around.

I’m hoping that for a future update I can give her a different outfit on her base sprite, and hopefully it’ll be a fairly simple affair considering how I structured the PSD layers.

Anyways that’s a peek behind the curtain on Hallie’s character sprites and the work that went into her! Let me know if this is interesting to you, and I might make more posts.

If you’re interested in the game I made, please be sure to check it out! Its a visual novel that I made as part of the 2017 Yuri Game Jam over on itch.io!

“Before They Leave” - A short story visual novel about depression, friends, and crushes

Samantha Fiddler has been depressed for the better part of the last two years of highschool. She's barely scraping by, and nothing makes sense. She wants to go home and sleep. She feels guilty about everything... but for the time being she just needs to hold it together while hanging outside with her best friends.

Developed for the 2017 Yuri Game Jam
