#chapter 1 ralsei

[fuzzycryptid]

Sketches from when I was playing through Chapters 1 & 2!

Kris watching me idle in the game to draw a fully colored portrait of them eating moss: (_ )

Chapter 1! I'd played when it had first came out but it didn't have a huge impact on me, so in replaying it this year I took my time and really savored it. It was better the second time around. Had fun with the colors here! Limited promarker palette + crayola twistables <3

Ch2 under the cut, both because post long, but also because it's a lot of dialogue straight from funny lil moments in the game! So while it's not big spoilers (and I don't think we generally care about ch2 spoilers anymore?) I often feel the little spoilers are more impactful because, yknow, those are the little unexpected moments I delight in most when playing these games. Ok ramble over go my chapter 2 doodles WHOOSHHHH~

I really like that one worm and also nubert. can you tell

Queen is So Goddamn Funny I love her and her lcd display sunglass-eyes and her weird-shaped head. Like Lancer I can't tell the difference between her clothes and her body (compliment)

Overall Chapter 2 had me rolling. Sadly I don't have as many doodles of Chapter 3 because I was a lil more tired when I played that one, but yknow, most of my fanart is very Ch3 focused so they can live with that penalty. Still have yet to finish Ch4 LMAO but I will Make It A Point to draw when I do return to it (winter break save me. save me winter break)

ralsei :3

[patchwork-crow-writes]

Recent events (this Poll) have made me think about Ralsei, and his big de-hattening at the end of Chapter 1.

There's lots you can extrapolate from his decision to remove the hat - about his character development/growth, his increasing resemblance to the Dreemurrs, his penchant for changing his look at the drop of a hat (no pun intended at time of writing). But I don't really want to talk about any of that.

Instead, I would like to posit that Ralsei does sometimes wear his hat when he's having what I call down days - days where he doubts his place in the world, where he doubts that he can be a good friend to Kris and Susie, where all he wants to do is hide from the world and his responsibilities but he can't do that because that isn't what heroes do - so he does the next best thing and hides himself under his hat, as if it's some kind of force-field or invisibility shield that will protect him from the worst of the world's harsh glare. It's kind of the same reason I like to wear big coats a lot of the time.

It would be nice if they brought Hatsei back in that sort of way - both as a nod to his original appearance and as a statement about the fact that mental health and self-image can change from day to day.

I identify a great deal with this fluffy boy, can you tell? :P
