not sure which combination of camera settings produced this but for this picture it mostly works

day 24 is flowers, and i have an entire flower research academy waiting for its spotlight. havent worked on it in a while because its scope is supposed to be Massive so i need to learn how to do things by working on smaller projects. once i figure out an efficient way to program a calendar in renpy it will be very possible to make this thing

pictured is the guy who started it all and arguably without him none of my vns would exist

OCtober: Day 20

20. glow

- Ooh, this is pretty. - Right? - Alder was glowing with pride, just like the flower in front of us, but metaphorically. A very dim light in a very dark room, but it was there - a little white flower in the darkness. - Does this mean you're set for this year's biology class? - What? I mean, yeah, I hope so, but that's not the point, - he laughed. - Successfully replicating professor's research isn't the point? You said it was your main goal. - Well, yes, it was... and I achieved it! And I wanted to show you first. - ... Thank you. This is beautiful. His grin was audible.

OCtober: Day 13

prompts from - wait for it - @oc-growth-and-development

13. waiting

The night sky was clear. The stars were shining so bright there was no need for moonlight.

Alder put away the hair from his face for the umpteenth time for the past twenty minutes. He came way earlier than the note mentioned, but he couldn't allow himself to get there second - he should be already there when the time comes. He should be ready.

He wasn't ready. He kept fiddling with his hands, he only barely got himself to stop pacing and he had to remind himself to breathe steadily.

It's just a crush. He's just asking his crush out. Many people do that. All of them survived. Well, most of them survived. No, no, it will be fine.

Worst-case scenario is, that person won't show up and he just waits on the tower until dawn for nothing.

But this is unlikely to happen... right?

i need to reread some manga with good mini-faces and rip off the style get inspired to improve these further

it does look better than what i started with though

... btw  Alder is now gardenia

‘k this guy’s a long story

first of all, yes, it’s a guy (sugar is still not convinced)

second of all, he’s kinda been around as a concept in the back of my mind for about a year already which is kind of impressive

... third of all he kinda reminds me of my friend’s character like this. was his name tantalus? it was tantalus. tantal. anyway that guy had light brown hair and wielded at least a knife while this guy has dark green mane and is a shy gardener kid

... question, does he look dateable
