SerLei (*´ω｀*)

Hiya! Welcome to my blog where I like to draw! And maybe some writing. I'm also online a lot but I don't really post much. I'm REALLY am into Danganronpa!

[serlei-drawz]

Hello! I have made an account on tumblr and this is my first post! I would like to post more of my art which is probably going to be WoH or Nagisa (maybe mostly Nagisa). I hope to post more in the future! (Edit: 9/2/2024) I now have a straw.page! It’s basically another version of ‘Carrd’ but easier to use! Check it out here!: https://serlei.straw.page

Part 2 to comparing dr2 sprites remakes, you can find part 1 here!

Let's start with Mikan!

Like Ibuki, there isn't changes that are very obvious, just minor things.

The one thing that can be noticeable is by looking at her hair. If you look closer at the ends, you can see that they are more cut! This is most likely to show more of her hair being messily cut due to her bullies.

Small things with the new design:

Apron isn't as loose

-----------------------------------

Next, Byakuya!

I would say that Byakuya also doesn't have any obvious changes! Something I did notice was that he actaully looks like he has a neck, especially for the second sprite. And, personally, I think he looks more anatomically correct! Now I'm sure that it's not completely correct but it's definitely closer I would say! :3

Other than that, his clothing is very similar to his original design!

Small things with the new design:

Seemingly, instead of being a print on his jacket, the school emblem seems to be a pin now unless it has a bolded outline

--------------------------------------------------

Next, Gundham!

For Gundham, the obvious change would probably be the hair!

Instead of going straight up, his hair curls instead. Another thing is his ears! They are mor pointy, most likely to make him seem more 'vampire' like or something around that ballpark!

Gundham also seems to have the most head change, while only by a little I would say. With his hair, ears, and a more masculine face.

Small things with the new design:

Scarf is bigger, most likely for his dark devas.

Rings are more defined (look at the second sprite)

(Noticed this but I am not sure if it's a mistake or not? if you look at the second sprite comparison where his fingers are up, there seems to be a mistake where some of the hair reaches the skin?)

(This also seems to appear in the fourth sprite as well so I am not really sure if it is a mistake or not but that's what caught my attention!)

-------------------------------------------

Next, Peko!

Peko is by far the most similar to her original design! There is a pretty obvious chnage if you look a little closely though, and that is with her hair. If you look on the ??right?? side of her braids, you see that one end is longer than the other.

Nothing else major is noticeable for Peko's design!

Small things with the new design:

On the ??right?? side of Peko's hair, the piece of hair that is part of her bangs has a split end!

For Peko's eyes, the top of it is a little bit black

The red part of her arm sleeve becomes more of an armband. The red part of the original sprite was most likely an armband but it's not loose on the arm, making it seem like it's part of the clothing.

--------------------------------------

Next, and Finally, Mahiru!

The most obivious change, while not really as visible but if you heard about Mahiru's sprite remake then you most likely know it, it's her freckles! This is most likely went over his head since it's a pretty small thing to miss. Like Peko, her design is very similar to her original sprite!

One thing I couldn't help but notice is her sprite in the trials. Her eyes are...a lot lighter? I know we don't see her outside but comparing to other characters who have been and have also been in the trial, their eyes are a little lighter but Mahiru's eyes seem to be a lot lighter. That could just be me though.

-----------------------

That is all for the sprite comparisons!! Thank you for listening to me yap for 2 posts!! So long, bear well!! ^w^

[serlei-drawz]

I'm so sad that 2x2 did not get a release date announced....so I'm going to look at and compare remade dr2 sprites!

Before I say anything I just wanna say that I LOVE the new remade designs, even hajime's fucked up hair.

I will be using nintenbingo's sprite comparison pictures, which you can see part 1 and part 2! I will be going in order in which the comparisons were displayed!

Let's first start off with Hajime!!

I will talk about the obvious, which is Hajime's hair. I don't really understand why they added more hair? I'm assuming it is because of his sprite design sheet which also has the hair but it isn't as prevelant. Looks very funny :3

But one plus I will give to his design is for his chest! I feel like some characters chest sizes are exaggerated but for the remade sprite they made his body seemingly a bit more wider which I believe fits more with his chest size!

Also with his arms also being a bit wider but his hands being fairly skinnier. Also, his complexion seems to be a bit lighter in the remade version.

Small things with the new design:

Some people have noted that his shirt seems more wrinkled but his original sprite seems to be the same, maybe the remake being a bit more wrinkled.

His tie is darker in the remake and his school emblem is a little bigger which is noticeable when his sprite turns.

He has a button that was never there on his original design, being below his collar.

-----------------------------------------------

Next, Chiaki!

For her obvious change, it would be the hair! I think the remade hair is very cute!! There are more individual hair strands rather than the more clumped ones for the original sprite!

She also has a more mature face which can be honestly said about every remake of the original sprites. I don't think this was something Rui thought of when making the characters, it's most likely his development of his art style which is making the characters seem older. While a considerably small detail, I really like this! Since the characters for Dr1 and Dr2 think they are teenagers when they are actually adults, it's a nice small thing to notice while at the same time, if you were a new player, you wouldn't really notice!

I really like the middle sprite comparison because of the clothing! For the remake version it feels more realistic which I really liked!

Small things with the new design:

The bow near her collar is bigger than the one in the original sprite when she turns.

School emblem on her jacket is bigger and a tiny bit higher.

Jacket seems to be a bit bigger.

------------------------------

Next, Nagito!

For the obvious change in Nagito's design, it's his shirt design! I don't know why the design changes for the remake. My only theory is to make it more cyber like since they are inside of a program? Or maybe to match the squares on his jacket so they made it more blocky? I am not sure why.

Another pretty obvious change would have to be his hair! The original is more fluffy but the remake is stringy. I believe this is to make him a more sickly character but I will always miss his fluffy hair 💔.

Like Hajime, Nagito has a slightly wider body or it could be that his jacket is bigger.

Small things with the new design:

Nagito's hands are slightly bigger for the sprite where his hands are up

His shirt is more wrinkled

-----------------------------------------

Next, Ibuki!

For Ibuki....I would say there isn't any obvious changes! Ibuki, out of the 3 so far, is definitely the one that is very similar to her original sprites! The only thing that can be kind of obvious would be her bangs, which is bigger or there being more stripes on her arm ??thing??

Other than that, and small details, there isn't anything big that would be noticeable for Ibuki's remade sprites.

Small things with the new design:

Scrunchie is bigger and darker

Lines are the collar are thicker

Hair horns are smaller

-------------------------------------

And, finally (for Part 1), Monokuma and Monomi!

Now these two are the most similar to their original sprites but I would say it's because they are easier to draw.

For Monokuma, his white part has a bit of shading. Looking at his eye for the white side I could never understand why it looked so off to be but that's because for the original sprite he has a bit of blurring around that eye. He is also a bit rounder.

For Monomi, her bow is more yellow, even though I always thought it was suppose to be a pink color and Monomi's pink side is a little lighter.

--------------

That's all for part 1!! Part 2 will come out soon! So long, bear well!

[serlei-drawz]

40 MINUTES!!!!! 2x2 please!!!! ಥ_ಥ

[serlei-drawz]

2x2 release date probably tomorrow...

I don't want to have my hopes up to high but....it could happen...

Especially since the offical Spike Chunsoft account said that today should be Danganronpa day when the direct is tomorrow...:

Can't wait for it to be the next day, very anxious and excited!! :3

[serlei-drawz]

Almost done with the school year...gulp

This will be the last week til summer break starts but it doesn't feel like school is about to end :/

[serlei-drawz]

Could be about 2x2 or like a cafe thing or maybe anew figure.

I don't really mind if it's nothing about 2x2 or if it's about a cafe or figure, I just wanna hear what Danganronpa news they have ^w^

[serlei-drawz]

I cant stop thinking about playing Tomodachi Life

When I'm in school I wanna go home to play Tomo Life

When I'm in the car I wanna go home and play Tomo Life

When I'm nowhere but home I wanna go home and play Tomo Life

[serlei-drawz]

What I think for everything that has came out for 2x2!! :D

Just want to state that all of these are my opinions and personal theories!! ^w^

First, I love looking over at the trailers to see if I can spot anything. From what we know about the boat and how it will most likely tie into the second scenario, I would REALLY love to see if some characters made an appearance into the game! Now if there is anyone that appears, it will most likely be the dr1 survivors (speaking about them later). BUT if it's not dr1, I am HOPING that it is Dr3. I really love Dr3 and I would hope for it to tie in with the mainline games a bit more so people could get interested in Dr3 as well. But if only one person were to come from Dr3, I'm hoping that it is at least Ryota. I would love for him to be portrayed more in the game since I feel as that he played a pretty big part in the anime and overall DR timeline.

Now for the Dr1 survivors, if they were to also join the Dr2 cast. I was watching Weeby News react to the demo and the back of Hagakure in the demo is written as '6u9'. Buttttt, if you were to flip it upside down like in the Dr1 first trial, you would get what seems to spell 'Bug'. Since Hagakure dies in the demo and Monomi basically says that this wasn't suppose to happen, I assume that maybe Dr1 survivors somehow got into the Neo World Program, causing a bug, and that's what starts the second scenario.

Another thing I would like to mention is the seating arrangements in the demo trial. For some reason, Mahiru is had Mikan on her right while no one is on her left, when Kazuichi is suppose to be on her right and Hajime is suppose to be on her left. This may have something to do with the new scenario but personally I think it's because only a few people were shown off during the demo and they didn't want to show the other sprites so they just had her next to Mikan.

If they are adding a new scenario for lore reasons, I would love to see how it works out! I'm pretty sure I have a rough understanding on how everything takes place but I wonder how they will make it fit in. But since the Neo World Program is a vr world no one can really die so maybe it won't affect lore much after all :p

For the sprites, I really like how the move haha :3

I know it may not be everyones cup of tea but I feel like it makes it more lively! Not only that but I honestly love how the backgrounds look! Especially the hotel, first time I saw it I didn't even notice it was the hotel! I think the newer versions does go for more of that resort/vacationy feeling which Dr2 was suppose to be about so I'm all for it!

For the sprites, I wouldn't say they are bad! I think some of the are fine remakes, such as Mikan, Ibuki, Gundham, and Peko while still keeping the looks from their og sprites! But for Hajime I don't think the added hair really helps out 😅

I don't really mind it but it's very noticeable lol. In Hajime's design sheet actually, you can see that top part in his sheet as well!

I guess they wanted it to be more accurate to the design sheet?

On the other hand, I think my favorite sprite remake so far has to be Chiaki. I don't know why but I'm adoring the more fluffy hair she seems to have in the back now, it's very cute! While the og sprite of Chiaki does have like fluffy back hair, I think it shows more in the remake! Like I said I really thought it was cute!

For the other designs we've seen for Byakuya, Mahiru, and Nagito, I thought they were also fine but didn't really see the decision in removing Mahiru's freckles and changing Nagito's shirt design.

I am also very happy that they were able to get every VA back to voice act their roles!! When I saw that I was so happy! I really expected that maybe most people would come back and some would be replaced but I see I was wrong! I don't really care what their voices sound like now, I'm just so happy that the og cast is back!! X3

As for predictions, I don't really have any tbh. I saw a lot of people having Mahiru and Togami in their survivor predictions and I think that's really neet! I would love to see Togami be able to live far past chapter 1 and Mahiru be able to ger survivor status! (Or even protag status if we're lucky enough 👀). The only thing I'm worried about is Kazuichi because I know his ass isn't making it far 💔💔

And to wrap it all up, the release date! I've been waiting and waiting for this damn release date (and for the cover art) to come out!! But, I do have my own release predictions. Seeing how the game trailer was announced on the Nintendo Direct around September, I'd assume it would be coming out around that time as well, so around August-October. Most Nintendo Direct games usually come out around the year mark of their trailer releasing, such as the Tomodachi life game being announced in April and coming out in April or as in THLLDA which (I honestly don't remember the trailer release 💔) came out around a 1 or 2 before the 1 year point of the trailer releasing!

Bai bai now! So long, bear well! ;D

Remake of the dr media thingy I did for my strawpage!

Basically a little spreadsheet of (almost) all media tied with Danganronpa! :3 Tried my best to make it as spoiler free as possible (aside from the characters that show up)!

Should be working fine on mobile too! If there is any problems please let me know! ^^
