Do you like Larry's new design? 😍

[solmniaxtown]

LARRY, MY SWEET!!!

[solmniaxtown]

For the sake of comparing the design in the previous post, below are some pieces of Larry over the years! (THEY'RE OLD!!!)

[solmniaxtown]

Larry's design is ancient.. He has undergone such minimal changes over the years, but recently I've been having more fun drawing my new characters, so I decided it's time to tweak his look with my new knowledge!

The changes are still minimal, but they make a big impact. For example, he's just a little fatter in the face, his hair is tweaked so that it doesn't tangent with his other features, his bottom lashes are removed to not compete with his freckles, and generally little details (like his ahoge) have been changed to follow a more intentional shape language! As you may have noticed, I did not mention his mustache... That's because it's not a consistent design choice -- sometimes he has them and sometimes he doesn't LOL

[solmniaxtown]

Just for fun I decided to temporarily forget what Jacky looks like and try to design him blindly as I would in the current day and age. Jacky is one of my oldest characters so he looks PLENTY different but I think that the nastyness is as present as ever.

I kind of love it... But I will NOT be keeping it! At least, not in-whole. I still think that the old design is way more developed obviously and I think that combining the elements I like from both is the best way to go!

Here is my most recent, ongoing drawing of him:

He's already so perfect that the changes are minimal, but they're there!

Also the shorter hairstyle isn't necessarily a permanent design feature. I think I might keep it for when he becomes rich, but have him have the long hair before that. The possibilities are endless!

Name Change! (Kind of...)

As you may or may not notice, the project originally-known as "Solmniax Town" has gotten itself a longer (and more whimsical imo) name of "Our Place In The Sun Over SOLMNIAX TOWN" (ideally the title card would be presented with the capitalized text on the bottom and the pretext on top like in the sketch below)

I changed the name for multiple reasons.

1: "Solmniax Town" just doesn't roll off the tongue too well and it has always been hard for me to remember titles that had goofy ahh made up words that didn't resemble any existing words, so why would I do that to my audience? Still, the town of Solmniax is way too important to the story to cut out of the title completely, and I refuse to change the name because it's iconic. I believe that adding the "Our Place In The Sun" makes it easier to remember.

2: I have grown fond of longer, more descriptive titles. It started when I learned that in Japan, the title of the movie "Up" translates to "Grandpa Carl's Flying House" which is just WAAAY better! I wanted a piece of that whimsy.

3: Not only do those titles sound better, they also tell you more about the story. I often have a hard time choosing new movies to watch or books to read because the title tells me nothing! I decided to not put my audience through that by adding the "Our Place In the Sun" part because it immediately tells you what the story is about at its core -- it's about people fighting for (figuratively and literally) their place in the sun.

She'd step on me and I'd ask for seconds ~! (๑ᵔ⤙ᵔ๑)

[solmniaxtown]

What the freak did you just request me to make bro... Hideous behavior.... Not cool man.. 🙁

------

CANON REACTION PAGE:

Jacky: WHAT. Disgusting!

Larry: Uhm... Why would anyone want to see that?

FREAKY PAGE:

Jacky: Come on, Larry~ Will you lie to them for me?

Larry: Y-yeah boss... Heh-

[solmniaxtown]

Draw jacques pregnant by lavra my wife and gf

This request was so heinous that I couldn't even make the art good... 😰🥶

------

"Ugh- I'm... pregnant. It's yours."

"I'll celebrate that with a trip to the milk store."

[solmniaxtown]

I love Millard so much I've decided to dedicate a post to him! Millard is a background character plumber boy that randomly decided to stop being a background character and joined that gang lol Him and Lavra definitely have something going on..

In the first image you can also see Seymore (the queer fly in the middle) and Sport (the paranoid one on the right), the three are kind of acquainted, but Seymore is more evil than the other two which Millard doesn't like because he is the epitome of everything good in the world.

[solmniaxtown]

Larry has been through a lot... (I genuinely hate the OG design so much, I'm glad that absolutely everything got changed)

[solmniaxtown]

Jacky and Lavra's blossoming friendship 💛

(Anybody in the audience likes lovers-to-enemies???) (Jk they were never "lovers" but there's something there)

[solmniaxtown]

(Old) Craptown Mafia collection!

Here you have got an array of all the biggest criminals in town, as well as some of their descriptions. Keep in mind, that some of the information is a tad outdated as of today! Might be more outdated in the future. The pigeon is no longer part of the mafia.

Old SOLMNIAX TOWN art Part3 - Reboot, Reboot At this point I'd realized that I hate my artstyle and I need to change something, so I did and then I realized how messed up I have allowed my previous style phase to be. It was an insanely quick transition from the previous phase to this one lol

Old SOLMNIAX TOWN art Part2 - Microhead Phase I started taking art more seriously around this point, but obviously there were still.... issues
