more maedotmkv fanart… this time for her Silent Hill 3 stream on Halloween night! the shading on Mae and her reflection could’ve been better, but at least the environment looks great! (i worked hard on that floor texture lol)

[bestia3d]

made this for my gf! i am proud to say that she loves it!!! (it’s also concept art for my game of course lol)

[maevesnormalart]

almost forgot to reblog this here too

[bestia3d]

more proof that playing Persona 3 Reload has rewired my brain: my game now has a glowing butterfly motif that signifies something lore-specific and thematically significant. i am just making a Persona fangame with furries at this point. i have fully accepted this lmao

[bestia3d]

made this in a day. i should drink more water…

[maevesnormalart]

i redesigned the main character of my video game again… happy Sad Kitty Sunday or something idk lol

[bestia3d]

big news everyone. i have completely rebuilt my entire game design document from the ground up. both the core concept (turn-based strategy creature-collecting RPG) and the core theme (overcoming internalized ableism and fighting capitalism with the power of solidarity) remain the same, but everything else has been totally reworked and, in my opinion, improved. Persona 3 Reload’s fantastic writing and narrative design inspired me to do a huge deep dive on the art of storytelling through gameplay, and that really helped me figure out which elements of my game were really necessary to convey the ✨narrative experience✨ i’m aiming for. so i changed the lore, the setting, and pretty much the entire story except for the ending. also the out-of-combat gameplay is now a Myst 1993-style PNG-based first-person point-and-click game, because i can’t code and therefore i need to keep things simple for the time being lmao

anyway, more updates coming soon!

[maevesnormalart]

hi everyone!!! i haven’t posted anything in a while because i was working on designing a fursona for my girlfriend, which took me a really long time because i really wanted to get it right (also i took a little break in the middle of the process to play through the entirety of Persona 3 Reload lmaoooo)

anyway here is a wip of my gf’s fursona!! (the reason it’s still a wip is because of the shading. i need to fix that lol)

[maevesnormalart]

[maevesnormalart]

my hobby is putting my OCs in places now

made this during a backpacking trip i went on this weekend. it depicts the Ultimera, a giant avian Bestia who is believed by certain religious groups to be God incarnate, descending from the Void to save humanity from destruction and bestow upon them the gift of Spark.

(For those of you who are interested: Spark is essentially this extra-dimensional substance that’s responsible for both consciousness and the stability of the universe. You can also burn it like oil to alter reality and create new pocket dimensions! Large deposits of Spark have been found deep beneath the Earth’s crust, so of course big tech corporations immediately jumped on that bandwagon and started drilling for it. Also there’s a big cult that thinks it’s sacred. It’s a whole thing lol)

[maevesnormalart]

i have yet to design exactly what the Ultimera actually looks like, but it will be a very large birb

[bestia3d]

i made a liminal space and put Venn in there :3

(lore: this particular liminal space is a corrupted version of the Menagerie, the pocket dimension that trainers keep their Bestia in.

the Menagerie is advertised by the Vortec Corporation as “the ideal home away from home for Bestia and their trainers,” but as it turns out, this is only really true for Bestia. since Bestia are descended from creatures that were specially bred by ancient space aliens to survive long voyages between dimensions, the warped spacetime of a corrupted Menagerie is pretty easy for them to adapt to. *humans,* on the other hand… well, let’s just say that a trainer who sleeps in their Menagerie might end up never waking up.)

“this’ll just be a quick little logo sketch,” i told myself at 11:30 pm last night as i sat at my desk drawing in my sketchbook. “just a tiny little doodling session before bed.”

anyway here’s the “quick little logo sketch” after 11 hours of work total. i woke up at 5 am and could not go back to sleep because my brain had decided i Had to continue “doodling.”i think my art-making addiction is destroying my life

[maevesnormalart]

this happened again last night btw. finished piece coming soon
